Crap! It's 6:30 in the morning already! I can't hit snooze anymore can I? Of course not, I'll be late to my first day of Junior year. How exciting!

"Ali if you aren't up I'm coming upstairs and dragging you out of bed. SO GET UP!" My mom screams from the kitchen.

Isn't she so loving? Guess I better go shower.

*7:30 A.M*

Well I look...presentable? Yeah no let's change. Again.

Okay, how about black pants, white crop top, black leather jacket and camel suede Chelsea boots. It'll scream "I care, but not a lot". Yes that will work.

Maybe I should have looked at myself in the mirror. What a hot piece of ass you are missy! WAIT...IS THAT A PIMPLE?!

Okay, let's cover that up.

Hmm... who knew being sixteen could be so stressful.

Okay let's take one last look in the mirror, ahh. Yes, I look...better. Okay Ali, let's stop talking to ourselves now.

*8:10 A.M.*

"Seriously Ali, late the first day of school?" My mom hisses.

"Yes mother, it's what us mere teenagers do. It's normal." I hiss back.

"Fine, just be on time please. I don't need another call from the school saying my daughter was late almost 64 times again" her tone warmer than earlier.

"I have a record to uphold mother, but fine." Looking outside as we slowly pull up to campus.

"Welcome back Oakland High Students" the sign reads.

Kill me.

It's finally my Junior Year. It's not as utterly exciting as senior year, but I'm sure something will happen, whether I'd want it to or not.

"Miss Rose, I think we should give you an award for all of these Tardies you have" I just love how much of a bitch Mrs. Queen of the Attendance Gwen Hearten is.

As Hearten hands me my schedule, I give her a warm smile. Secretly wanting to spill her latte on her dress, but whatever. No big deal.

Okay, Ali. Let's see what we're working with this year.

Class Schedule:

1 Physical Education - R. Khan
2. American Literature - R. Vancian
3. Pre - Calculus - S. Scott
4. Human Anatomy and Physio. - K. Johnson
5. U.S History - L. Vargas
6. Spanish - M. Moreno

Well it's decent, not super excited about Pre- Calculus, but then again I don't think anyone ever is. It will be my least favorite course and the worst part of my day.

________________________________

First period was not that interesting, I mean it's a physical education class. We won't really do anything until the second week of school. Second period with Mr. Vancian was intriguing. He's a really sweet teacher, I don't think I've ever met an English teacher any kinder, but by the time I got out of second period the line for nutrition was a quarter of a mile long.
