Kelsie woke up bright and early on a Wednesday morning, she kissed her mom and dad on the cheek before racing out the front door. She smiled when she saw her cousin waiting for her in the driveway, and Jenny and Norah are with her too.
'It's great that Veronica and Norah are friends now.' Kelsie says with a big smile.
"Hi, Norah!" Kelsie greets getting in the backseat with the curly haired girl.
"Hi, Kelsie!"
Kelsie puts on her seatbelt and Veronica pulled out of her aunt and uncle's driveway.
Pulling into the school's parking lot Veronica parked the jeep and they got out. Kelsie hugged her cousin bye before walking off to her first period class.
Kelsie walks in her Parent Curriculum class.
Kelsie has a list of things she wants to accomplish and one of those things is becoming a parent. That's why she's taking this class which has become her favorite besides Home Economics that she was in last year.
Starting a family is a dream of hers.
'Praise Dance Worship has daycare for parents who are working and for siblings who can't babysit their kid sibling. The toddlers are so adorable and cute with their little faces and big eyes.' Kelsie gushed.
She sat down at a circler table that she shares with three other girls. Kelsie doesn't know these girls and only one actually acknowledges her presence.
"Morning." Kelsie smiled.
The one girl smiles and mouthed, 'morning.' to her while her friends were deep in their own conversation.

The cafeteria is filled with chattering teens, Kelsie finds the table where her friends/teammates are and sits down beside Francine.
Norah sets her tray on the table and looks around the cafeteria confused.
"Are you okay, Norah?" Jenny asks, Norah sits down and pouted.
"Does anyone know where Westly is?" She asked looking at them.
Jeremy chuckled causing them all to turn to him.
"Westly was late to first period and rode his skateboard to class."
"What?" Francine eyes widened. "Why would he do that?"
Jeremy shrugs, "The teacher didn't think it was funny, and now he's probably doing his work in, in school suspension."
Kelsie glanced at Tyler who is sitting on her other side and saw him trying not to laugh.
He caught her stare, and she looked away blushing.
Tyler smirks to himself.
'Haha, that sounds like something Westly would do.' Tyler says grinning and clears his throat then continues, 'Yeah, probably wasn't smartest thing to do. Man, I get it. You woke up late, maybe grab a slice of toast or apple on your way out. But a skateboard in the school- really?' He laughed again.
'I may or may not still have a crush on Tyler.' Kelsie frowns.
Norah grabs her plastic fork and digs it into her mash potatoes.
Veronica huffs and glanced up to see Gabby staring right at her from across the cafeteria room. Kelsie looks at her cousin and followed her gaze wondering who she's looking at.
Furrowing her brows, she turns back to her and asks, "Veronica, is that Gabby?"
The blonde looked away from Gabby turning to her little cousin.
