"Okay I'm going to need you to move your head slightly to the right, okay now tilt your head left, slide your right hand up your leg, okay good stay like that." The photographer says
I've never felt more awkward.
"Okay now go pick up your ID over there."
Great.
Moment of truth.
The first picture of being in high school.
My freshman picture.
The picture that starts off my four years here.. And
I look like a potato.
Fabulous.
I go to the direction they tell me to, to pick up my schedule.
When I get there I see my friends are already here waiting for me.
I check my schedule with everyone else's and nope.
None.
No classes with any of my friends.
Can this day get any better.
Not to mention that my locker that I will be having for the next four years is in the middle of nowhere not even close to any of my classes or friends.
Amazing.
As we head our way to go pick up our textbooks, someone yells my name.
"MIKAILA" Says Hiram and Taylor
Ha they're still in the back of the line.
Sucks for them.
It's their fault for coming late.
We get lost on the way to the library, which only meant one thing, we had to actually talk to people and ask for directions.
Yea turns out we were going the completely opposite direction we were supposed to be going in.
Sigh it's not like I even want textbooks anyways.
We get to the library and get our textbooks and of course, something goes wrong.
"There's a glitch in the system and it won't let me check out any books. I'm sorry but you'll have to do it later." The librarian says
So what are we supposed to do for all this time?
We go back outside and continue to talk about school and our schedules and eventually more people come.
I have a few classes with some people I know which is pretty good considering I don't know most people here.
While others are comparing schedules, me and Vania take a look around to see if there's any potential in these guys.
Potential meaning that they're not fuckboys is what I'm trying to say.
And as I guessed, they were all fuckboys.
Replicas of the people we already knew, maybe even worse.
We saw others checking out the people while some were still looking at their schedules.
Suddenly, two people we knew came up to us and asked about our schedules.
We both knew they didn't actually want to know about our classes, we just both have similar interests.
We waited and waited eventually running out of things to do, getting bored of topics to talk about.
How long does this take?
All the new people I've been seeing don't feel new to me.
Like I said before, they were just replicas of the people I already knew and hated.
Sigh I guess there was no hope for this place anyways.
"Okay everybody time to start heading down to lunch." A worker says
Sweet we get lunch.
We go to the front of the school, which is apparently where were having lunch, and see that were having burgers.
I would be happy about that, except when I got mine it was cold.
I'll just eat the chips and cookies they gave us.
This was nice.
Sitting in the grass, talking with my friends, listening to music.
I see everyone has split into their usual groups.
I don't get why they would think that the "buddy activities" would help us become friends with each other.
We all already have our own friends, you can't force us to try to be friends with others.
"Guys I'm not ready for the buddy activities." Hiram says
"Yea me either." Taylor says
"C'mon guys it'll be fun." Says Victoria
"Shutup Victoria you think everything will be fun." I say
Vania laughs and then says,
"I don't want to be in different groups than you guys. I'm gonna cry I swear."
"Same. I feel you man." I say
"You bitches need to chill. You're going to be fine." Says Raina
We continue eating our food until someone announces that we need to get a name tag to see which group we're in.
"Pray for me." Vania says
"It was nice knowing you guys." Says Hiram
When I get my name tag I try to look for my group.
Everything is basically chaos.
Everyone's running around trying to find which group they're in.
I text the chat:
GROUP CHAT
Mikaila: Wtf is going on.
No one texts back.
When I finally find my group I see that it's just a bunch of guys from my old school with a few girls I don't know.
Fantastic.
We wait and wait (again) for the chaos to slowly die down.
All the people from my school sit with each other while the people from different schools sit with each other.
It was like half and half.
GROUP CHAT
Vania: There's no one in my group. I'm crying.
Mikaila: Well I'm in a group of boys, wanna trade?
Hiram: I can't find my group.
The buddies start taking roll.
"Jessica? Jessica are you here?" One says
"Yea I'm here." A girl says
I'm guessing her name is Jessica.
"Mikaila?" Another buddy says
"Here." I say with no enthusiasm
They go down the list of names and I'm not really paying attention, until I hear
"Hiram? Hiram are you here?"
GROUP CHAT
Mikaila: HIRAM YOU'RE IN MY GROUP PENDEJO(dumbass) COME HERE.
Hiram: What? Okay I'm coming.
When he comes the buddies say,
"Okay. Are we ready to play some games?"
{This was literally what happened at my orientation I'm not even kidding haha hope u like it.}
