Prologue

''Andrea!''

''Andrea you're going to be late for your first day.''

''ANDREA MARIE BOWERS!''

Andee
''I'LL BE DOWN IN 5 MUM''
Don't get me wrong, I love my mother but sometimes she can be a pain in the ass. I honestly don't think I'm ready to start a new school and I can't stress how nervous I am.

☆☆☆

The worst thing about the first day of school is choosing what to wear. Do I go with a button up shirt and a skater skirt? Or my adidas hoodie and a pair of leggings? At times like this I honestly wish I was a boy. They have it so easy. Just put on a pair of jeans and a plain top and boom; they're done. Hmm..actually I think I'll do just that.

I put on my boyfriend jeans and a plain white vintage t-shirt. I complete the look with my trusty white&black adidas' and then head downstairs.

"Alright mum I'm ready, let's go", I sigh.

"Not so fast Andrea, you can't go to school on an empty stomach. I'm going to go and grab my bag from upstairs and when I come back I expect to see you eating something."

Ugh mum's. I swear she was the one who was concerned about me being late and now she wants me to eat something? If she wants me to be in detention on my first day she's going the right way about it.

I'm not feeling paticularly hungry this morning so instead of eating something I grab some orange juice from the fridge and pour myself a glass. Before I know it my mom is back and we're heading out the door and into the car.

☆☆☆

When we arrived at the 'Southfield County High' school, I could feel my anxiety building up already. It looked huge from the outside!
Before getting out of the car I turned my phone on and checked the time. 9:30am ! School starts at 9 and I'm gonna roll in half an hour late. On my first day. Great.
After giving my mum a quick kiss on the cheek I told her I would be alright on my own and headed inside.

The reception was quite easy to find once I got into the school. I was introduced to the principal who's name was 'Mr Matthews'.

''Ah so you must be our newest student. Andrea Bowers I believe?''

''Nice to meet you sir. You can call me Andee.''

''Well it's a pleasure to have you at our school Andr..Andee. We hope you enjoy it here ever so much.''

'Thank you for having me here.'

After what seems like ages of discussing with Mr Matthews, he directs me to his office.

☆☆☆

When we got to the office, Mr Matthews gave me my timetable and my journal so I could start my first class. Looking at the timetable just reminded me of how i have no friends at this school yet and im about to start my new class with a bunch of new people. Snap. I'm worrying too much, I need to calm down.

I probably stared at my timetable for a good 5-10 minutes because Mr Matthews caught me in the middle of my day dreaming.

''Um Miss Bowers, are you okay?''

''Er yes, yes I'm fine sorry'' I stammered.

''That's okay, you should be getting to your first class now. Do you think you'll be alright on your own?''

''Yeah I think I'll be able to find my way around.''

''Alright then. After your first class it'll be lunch time..''

Wow. Lunch time already?

Mr Matthews must have saw the look on my face because he then said, ''I know, lunch already huh? You should be getting to class so you don't miss too much of 4th period. Good luck Miss Bowers.''
