Cadence:
I lay back in the dentist chair as they finished placing my brackets. I am going to be the new eighth grader with braces! This will ruin my school look forever. I was raised up and helped up from the chair to the mirror. I looked at my metal mouth, and let my eyes travel over the blue bands in my mouths. Tomorrow is going to be the most embarrassing first day of school.
September 7, 2011: First Day of Middle School 8th grade:
My eyes shot open to the annoying beeping of my alarm clock. My hand slammed down on the button and I rolled over onto my back. I took a deep breath and pulled myself out of my bed into the shower. I made up my face and curled my long blond hair. I smiled in the mirror and groaned at the sight of my braces. I grabbed my backpack and smoothed out my tank top. I grabbed an apple and cut it into slices and walked to the door. Like a normal morning everyone is gone accept for me. I opened up the front door and pushed open the screen. My dog Minnie, suddenly bolted out of the house.
"Crap! Minnie!" I threw my stuff on the ground and sprinted after her, "Minnie! Minnie!" I shouted running down the street. I turned my head and slammed into something. My head hit a chest and I squeeze my eyes tightly shut.
"Hey! Are you okay?" the boyish voice spoke from under me. My eyes shot open and I stood up quickly.
"I'm so sorry...M-my dog got out and I just wasn't watching where I was going," I shut my mouth because I couldn't stop stuttering.
"Oh, Do you need help finding your dog?" I nodded and looked him up and down.
"We should split up and circle the neighborhood," he stated and started walking down the path. I turned on my heals and ran down the path.
"Hey I think I got your dog!" the boy shouted and I sprinted over and grabbed Minnie by her collar.
"Bad dog, Minnie. You could've made me late to school," the boy followed me up to the steps of my house.
"Thanks for the help...umm..," I realized I hadn't ask for his name in the time span of chasing Minnie down the street.
"It's Lucas...um Lucas Harris," he stuck out his left hand and I met it with a smile.
"My name is Cadence Nelson," he smiled and looked at his watch.
"Oh god I am going to be late to school! See you around Cadence!" he shouted and ran off down Maple Street. I took a deep breath and picked up my backpack and locked Minnie inside. I marched off to the hill that lead up to the school grounds of Frank's and Darling's Middle School, I mean what kind name is that! I got to school when the passing period bell rang and I rushed to my first class, English. I reached to open the door and it slammed open.
"Hey Cadence? Are you okay?" my eyes opened and I was staring intently into a perfect pair of blue eyes.
"What happened?" Lucas helped me stand up and I touched the front of my forehead.
"The door hit you pretty hard you have only been out for a couple of seconds," he placed an ice pack on my forehead and helped me up to the nurse's office.
"Do you want me to call you mother sweetie?" I shook my head and looked over at the wall where Lucas was standing.
