-Dream-
The tears won't stop. I forgot my lunch, and I can't remember my locker combination. I am sweating from running to scholl because I thought I was goingto be late and in my rush, I fell in a mud puddle. Great I thought, way to make a good first impression.
-Reality-
Lauren wake up! My mother yelled from downstairs. I groaned and rolled out of bed. I hated the first day of school. I won't know anyone. I walked over to the closet and picked out an outfit. Blue jeans, a multicolered blouse, and some boots. I put my hair in a fish tail braid and apllied a very small amount of make-up. Then I ran downstairs. Mom was already at the table with the newspaper.
Eat up or you'll be late, she said harshly. I sat down to my cold boring oatmeal. Suddenly I wasn't hungry anymore. I was too nervous to eat. "I'll eat it in the dining room," I said. I walked into the dining room and quietly opened the window. Then I dumped out the oatmeal. "Yuck," I said. I grabbed my school bag and walked out the door, not bothering to say goodbye. Mom wouldn't care anyways.
I walked down the sidewalk looking at all the rundown old houses. It's hard living here on this side, but I would rather live here than on the Socs' side of town. As I got closer to the school, I could here all the kids talking and laughing. I just kept my head down and walked up the steps and into the school. It was a zoo. I tried to find my locker in the mess of kids. When I finally found it, I pulled out the slip of paper in my backpack. It read( 2 turns right to 35, one turn left to 5, 3 turns left to 3) Okay, I breathed. I tried the combination, holding my breath. I heard the click, opened my locker and let out a sigh of relief. I did it. I shoved my books in and grabbed what I needed. I closed my locker and spun the dial to make sure it locked. Then I walked to my first class. I was early so I just doodled in my notebook. I am a great artist( not to brag or anything) and I drew a really awesome picture of a sunset.
That's really good. I heard someone say behind me. I looked up to see a blonde boy standing, smiling at me. I slammed my notebook shut. "Thanks", I said, "but I don't show anyone my work" "That's a shame", he said. " That's a real good picture of a sunset. My name's Ponyboy. Ponyboy Curtis," he added. "I'm Lauren," I said. "You got a last name," he said smiling. " I just go by Lauren," I said. Just then the teacher walked in and started class. I noticed that Ponyboy was really good with all the poetry and grammer. Meanwhile I had no clue what was going on.
-After School-
I was walking out of school, when I heard someone yelling Lauren. I turned around to see Ponyboy running towards me. "Hi", he said. "Hey," I replied. "You wanna go to the lot?" he asked. "Sure," I said. We walked to the lot and sat on the grass and talked. I learned that he loved to watch sunsets, read, write, and is part of a greaser gang. I liked Ponyboy. Not like romantic or anything like that. I just think he listens to what I have to say and is funny too. We sat and watched the sunset a while longer. Then we said goodbye and we walked home. One friend on my first day of school. Not bad.
