Head girl

Part 1

  ''First day of  school'' I wrote, as the last words in my journal[not diary,I hate when people call it that], before zipping up my school bag and dashing downstairs hoping my mum hadn't already drove away.

        My mum beeped the car outside to alert me that she was already late for work, and so I picked up my lunch and sped out the front door.'' Do you want to go late to school'' she chimmed once I was inside the car, Then she pressed the accelerator and we were off.

'' Excuse me'' I said to multiple kids asking for directions but they were all in a hurry to get to class.

        I hoped it would be like all those school movies were some kind girl would suddenly want to befriend the new kid but no, instead I had to rush into the school gates with the rest
