The Player's Deal (#Wattys2016)

The First Days No.1

I woke up to the covers being ripped off of me viciously. My eyes opened wide to the scene of my dad attempting to awaken me from my hibernation. "TIME TO WAKE UP" he sang and I groaned turning over so I wasn't facing him. Don't get me wrong, I was excited about my first day of school but I couldn't let HIM know that. "You have an hour to get ready and then we have to go!" He said walking out of my room turning the light on, on his way out. With a huff and a groan I raised out of bed. I slipped on my pig slippers and with a yawn I headed to the bathroom to get ready. I had about belly button length dark brown curly hair that I had straightened the night before. I did my foundation routine and wore a winged eyeliner. I changed my nose stud into a hoop and rushed in my room to change clothes. I wore dark blue skinny jeans, a burgundy Mayday Parade t-shirt, and black Vans. I checked my appearance in the mirror one last time before walking outside to the bus stop. The bus pulled up and as I stared at it with caution I noticed the bus drivers impatient expression. I mumbled a quiet apology while walking past him into the back of the bus. I looked around nervously trying to decide where to sit. Is it this awkward in the movies? I thought to myself deciding that the empty seat in the middle row was good. I pretended to play on my phone while trying to ignore the awkwardness of the entire situation. As I glanced up I noticed some people were looking at me, some of them quickly turned around so that I wouldn't notice but others just stared with confidence. What are they looking at? Is my hair messed up?? I slowly smoothed my hand over the side of my hair feeling for any knots. Some of the kids giggled silently which only made it worse. I sunk down into my seat and continued to "play" on my phone until we got to school "this should be interesting..." I mumbled as we pulled up at the school. I sighed, just breathe.
