The Bad Boy and Me

Chapter 1- First Day

Have you ever heard the saying, "Every year is a new beginning?" And the one that goes, "New year, new me?" Well, neither of those go with me. I am still going to be the same person I was last year and the year before that. I am still going to be the same Cecilia Bailey Adams. Still going to be the nerd that reads all the time, never goes to a party, never drinks, the list goes on and on. The point is that I am going to be the same goody-two-shoes, I was since I started going to school. This year is going to be the same and I am totally okay with that. I am proud to be who I am. I love my life.

Before you start jumping to conclusions, I need to tell you a couple things about me. I am a nerd but I am not a loner. I have friends and I am kind of popular; why? I have no idea how I became 'popular' but, it just happened. You know?

I am friends with everyone, but I have two best friends. Jasper and Emma. Jasper and I have known each other since we were in diapers; he is my childhood friend. His more like a brother to me; he has been there for me since day one and is still here for me.

Emma, has been my friend since 7th grade and we are close. I love them both as family. Even though I am popular, I don't change my ways and I never have. I am still a nerd and I don't care what anyone says or thinks about me.

After my shower, I went over to my bed and put on my outfit. Which is, navy sailor shorts, a stripped shirt, with some black flats. Next, my hair. It's the first day of school, but I don't care so, I will just leave it natural, which it is naturally straight. My hair is brown, just like my eyes.

"Honey, you up yet?"

"Yes. I'll be down in a bit. And I would like a waffle, with orange juice."

"Okay, don't take too long."

"I won't."

Looking at myself one last time, I was happy with my outfit and rushed downstairs. The smell of waffles and coffee could be smelt from a mile away. Following the smell I entered the kitchen and sat at the island.

"Morning, dad."

"Morning, sunshine. Ready for this year?"

"Yeah. Have been all my life. Where is my breakfast?"

"Here."

Getting my plate and juice, I decided to make conversation, while eating.

"Where is your trip to this time?"

"U.K. And I should be back by Saturday."

"Got it. When do you leave?"

"I should be leaving at 8:45. So, when you get here, I won't be home. If you want, Anna can stay with you."

"No, that's fine. She has a life too. She doesn't need to clean up after me, I can do that myself."

"Okay. Well, I am going to go finish packing. Love you."

"Love you too."

The U.K. That's a first.

After, I finished my breakfast, I went back upstairs and got my book bag. Time to go to school.

As soon as I step out of my car, Emma started dragging me. Not even a hug.

"Cecilia. Come on. Hurry."

"Jasper, why is Emma is such a rush?"

"I don't know. I just got here and she hasn't explained yet."

"Emma, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Because. Aiden is about to break up with Paris and WE can't miss a thing."
