Ahhhhhhh Sophomore year. I don't know why, but I feel different. I felt ready. Needless to say, I am way to confident about this year. This is what I'm thinking as I stare at myself in the mirror. I see two big brown eyes stare back at me. I grab my backpack before the eyes can remind me of someone else's.

I push my way through the heavy oak doors. I am instantly greeted by panic of people franticly trying to catch up with both friends and schedules. "Andy where have you been!" a voice squealed from behind me. Oh, God. I slapped a huge grin on my face. "Audrey, where have you been?" I ask as I turn around. Just then I notice her hair. Before she can respond to my question, I break in with another one. "What did you do with your hair?" I asked, almost offended.
"I decided it was time for a change" she says, twirling her short, blond hair as if she was flirting with her imaginary crush. Audrey had had long, auburn hair that every girl was envious of. I was a little shameful in admitting that I was totally envious of it. My hair was a mess, it never was consistent. It could be curly, it could be straight. Some days it was dark brown, other days hazel. It was never the same. Just like Audrey's attitude. "I swear if people knew half of what you thought about them, you would have no friends" another voice snapped in my head. That much is true, the voices agreed. While I was having my inner debate Audrey had been giggling like a lovestruck puppy about some dude she had met that summer. I wasn't listing very much until I heard his name. "Who?" I asked, sure I hadn't heard her right.
"Danny Zuko?" She asked. She definitely hadn't seen Grease. What kind of parents named their child Danny Zuko. Before Audrey could continue yapping about her so called "future husband" the bell rang. I hadn't even stopped at my locker yet so ,pulling out my wrinkled schedule, I started toward my first class. Reaching room 173 I opened the door into what could be my worst nightmare. Don't remind me.

Hello! I'm so sorry for the slow update and the short chapter. I saw a lot of authors do a "Question Time" at the bottom of the chapters so I thought I would to.
1. Who's eyes do you think Andy saw in the mirror?
2. Any predictions?
3. Any other comments?
Thanks for reading!
