6:15 am

"KAT WAKE UP!! YOUR FIRST DAY OF HIGH SCHOOL STARTS IN 2 HOURS!" I hate mornings more than anything else in the world. seriously.

"yeah yeah thanks mom I'm awake now" I said while literally forcing myself to get out of bed. I stood up then went to my closet to pick out my first day of school outfit. it was pretty cold outside, not as cold as usual though. I mean it is August. anyway, I got out my ripped jeans and a long sleeve maroon/burgundy shirt and my adidas jacket. I rolled up my jeans then slipped on my socks and my new yeezy's. after putting my clothes on I went into my bathroom, did my business, and started doing my make up. I don't normally wear make up, well not a lot anyways, but I still wanted to look reasonable for a good first impression for the new kids and the new teachers. I just put on foundation, powder, and mascara. after I finished that I painted my nails just a nude color cause I don't like flashie nails. after my nails dried I french braided my hair into a ponytail and looked at myself and gave me a quick nod then back into my closet where I got my volleyball uniform, my knee pads, and my volleyball shoes and packed them all in my Nike bag. we finally had our first volleyball game today! and I'm really excited cause I'm team captain and at our school volleyball is one of the top sports so we always have a lot of people come to our matches. after that i grabbed my bookbag and walked downstairs to the kitchen.

I sat at the counter and ate my eggs and bacon then grabbed my lunch and headed to the car where I met my mom. she put her keys in and started the car and asked me if I had everything. I nodded then we were on our way. the school is like fifteen minutes away from our house so I mostly sang with my mom to Justin Bieber and One Direction. I loved it and hated it at the same time because my mom always loves singing with me... but I don't always. especially when she tries to hit Zaynes high notes. let's just say for the rest of the car ride I couldn't hear.

we finally got to school, I was pretty nervous, but not too much cause I've been at this school for 10 years now and I practically know everyone here.

anyway, I got to my modular and went to my locker. my locker number was 299 and the order was this new kid, me, Melanie (Mel), Halley, Tyler, then Karsten, all my best friends for life. i grabbed my language arts stuff from my locker and walked in my homeroom, Mrs. Robinson's, the language arts teacher, and sat down at my desk. the only friends I had in that class was Karsten and Mel, their also my neighbors. Mel lives right next to me and Karsten lives across the street. anyway, five minutes after talking to Karsten about his drivers ed class and how he's getting his license next week, the bell rang and class started.

"yay" I said to Karsten sarcastically. he just laughed and looked back at the teacher. (A/N, Kat and Karsten don't like each other. they are just like brother and sister so they talk all the time)

"hello class! my name is Mrs. Robinson, and I am going to be your language arts teacher for this school year. does anyone have any questions or comments for me?" Mel raised her hand and asked her how many years she's been at DCS (Denver Charter School).

"this is my first year actually and I am very excited and I hope y'all are too. any more questions, comments, or concerns?" she asked again, "no? ok then let's get started. I am going to introduce to you guys what we will be learning this year." she said while I zoned out and started thinking about what I'm going to do this year and about the game today.
