" Wake up Justine. Time to go to school"  my dad whispered.

" I don't want to go dad" I pouted

" You have to; Don't be nervous Justine. Be the strong young lady I know you are" he rubbed my shoulders.

" Fine." I sat up and pulled my blankets off of me.

" I'm going to leave out now. I'll see you around evening time." He kissed my forehead and walked out of my room.

   I took a quick shower and did my morning routine. I went to my closet and picked out my outfit. It was really cold so I decided to wear something warm.

   I walked downstairs and went into the kitchen. I grabbed my fruit bowl that my mom bought me yesterday. I sat down in our living room and begin eating. I remembered that I needed to talk to Savannah so I picked up my phone and FaceTimed Savannah.

" Hey Justine!" Savannah was in her car.

" Hey, I'm so scared right now"

" Why? What's going on?"

" Today is my first day of school here and I'm soo nervous"

" You're going to do fine Justine! All you have to do is go to class, do your work, and your done" Savannah said like it was easy.

" But Savannah, I don't know anyone! Well, I met this girl, but I still don't know her. And we have to eat lunch at the same time as everyone else! This is going to be a disaster!" I walked into the kitchen to throw away my trash.

" Oh... Well....Maybe it won't be that bad. At least you know one person" she said.

" I guess you're right, I got to go. I have to get to my bus stop by six thirty." I grabbed my bag.

" A bus?!" She ask disgusted

" Yeah. Since I don't have a car and my parents aren't home in the morning I have to take the bus"

" Keep your head up Justine!"

" I'll try, bye!" I hung up and walked to the bus stop. I haven't been on a bus since freshman year.

   When I arrived, there was three girls and two guys standing by the stop sign. We waited for five long minutes for the bus to arrive.

Of course, all of the seats in the front was full so I walked to back and there was one seat left. The boy who was sitting there looked a little upset so I decided to ask.

" Can I sit here?"

" No" he gave me a scowling look.

" This is the only seat left-"

" You can sit on the ground" he had a very serious tone in his voice.

" Can you please sit down! We gotta go!" The bus driver yelled. He huffed and slid over.
