I groaned as my alarm clock went off and I extended my arm to switch it off. I wasn't excited for today, because I was dragged to New York City, and now I have to be the freaky new kid at my school. "5 more minutes" I mumbled to myself as I closed my eyes slowly. "Mira, vas a llegar tarde! ¡Despierta niño!" , I heard my mom scream from downstairs. I knew not to mess with my mom when she spoke Spanish, so I woke up like lightning hit me and sat up on my bed.

My head felt dizzy, and I wanted to collapse on my bed again and dream of unicorns dancing on the clouds. I yawned, "Wake up Dummy." I hit my head with my hand as if I were to miraculously get as much energy possible if I did. I stood up slowly, making sure to take small steps to the bathroom. My feet touched the cold tiles and I winced, feeling the temperature change. I walked to the sink and grabbed my toothbrush. I applied some toothpaste and starting brushing.

I got out of the car and thanked my dad for driving me to school. "Bye Papa, Love you." I blowed a kiss at him. "Bye love, stay out of trouble okay? And I love you too." He smiled at me. He had that look in his eyes that said, 'she's growing up so fast' , the cringy things parents would say in Disney movies. I smiled back and nodded, "Okay, I will. Bye" he nodded and drove off.

I turned around and jumped when I saw a girl who looked my age in-front of me. "Was she watching?!" I thought to myself. She had a neutral expression on her face. She looked like a prefect or somebody professional and well-known in the school. "Good morning, you must be new. I'm Genevieve, the school president." she sounded like a robot, like she was trained to say this to every new student that joined the school. "Uhm, nice to meet you. My name is Mirabelle and yes, I'm new. Thank you." She nodded. "I'll take you to the receptionist, come on." She gestured for me to follow her and I did. This school looked huge, with the words 'Redcrest High' imprinted in bold on the left corner of the building. Our school badge was a graduation cap with the sun behind it.

So original. I thought, it looked kinda ugly, not gonna lie. But I guess I have to be stuck with this until who knows when?! When we reached the receptionist, I greeted her. "Good morning ma'am. I'm new here and I'd like to know where my classes are.", She looked up from her computer device. She was chewing gum, her lipstick was a shade of magenta her eyes were brown and she had short dark hair and her skin was dark olive. She looked old; like really old, she had wrinkles that gave away her age, and she had purple spectacles.

"Name?" She asked. "Mirabelle Gordugiez" I responded. Why did I feel like old people hated their jobs? They just look depressed and they're doing it for the money. This lady looked tired and old, like a sack of potatoes. Oh you poor thing. I thought. I have a habit of thinking the wrong things, like I feel like saying something, so I just say it in my head. "You're a freshman?" She asked and I nodded. She handed me a piece of paper with my class name and a bunch of letters and numbers. "That should help you."

"Thank you." I turned around and realised Genevieve wasn't with me anymore. I frowned. Am I that boring? I thought. I shook my head and looked at my paper, realising it was my schedule. I walked towards the class and when I got to my first one, everyone was oogling me like I was some kind of foreign creature. The teacher stopped to look at me and smiled. He was wearing a red tie and he looked extraordinary, like a bunch of colours collaborated in order to make his outfit.

"Everyone, settle down. We have a new student." He looked at me. "Would you mind telling us about yourself madam?" He asked. My specialty, communication skills in front of a certain amount of people in a crowd. I cleared my voice and smiled "Hello everyone, my name is Mirabelle, but you can all call me Mira. I'm a freshman like the rest of you and I'm 15 years old. It's nice to meet you all, and I hope we can start on a fresh, new beginning." They all clapped and I blushed. Even though they probably did this after every introduction I felt flattered.

"That was fantastic, Mira. You may go take a seat. And by the way, my name is Mr. Marc" he said. I smiled "Thank you, Sir." I walked towards the seat. He seems nice I thought. I sat next who a blonde haired boy, who's curls fell to his forehead, right above his ocean blue eyes. He had freckles and a sharp jawline like it was drawn with a ruler. He was writing something in his notebook, his arms were muscular and strong. And his uniform fitted perfectly on him showing his muscular body. Seriously Mira?! I smacked my forehead and winced at the pain.

I can't be falling for anyone, not on the first day. Plus, he doesn't look nice at all, like he would beat me up. I started focusing on the lesson and felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned around and there he was; the boy I was admiring. "Do you speak English?"
