My alarm clock went off in my ear with that annoying beeping noise at exactly 6:00 o'clock waking me from a dreamless sleep. I got up and started to get changed for my first day of grade 11 in a new school. It's going to be tough but I can manage. I've always had the best grades in every class so I'm not exactly worried about the tests and assignments. It's more of the friends I'm scared for. I've never been good with the friend thing. I've always been that nerd with no friends besides a couple other nerds. The only person I know at this school is my cousin, Lauren, but she's honestly the 'B' word. She has bright blue hair and she wears a mass amount of make-up. I'd never wear that much make-up, ever. She is exactly one month older then me but she acts like she's 10 years older than she is. Lauren absolutely hates me so I know how things are going to end up if I try to speak to her. She'd just embarrass me.

I snapped out of my thoughts and got dressed into a baby blue floral dress with baby blue flats and I curled my beautiful blonde hair to perfection. I grabbed my mascara and used a bit on my top lashes which made my blue eyes brighter then usual. That's the only make-up I wear unless I have really bad acne which is very unlikely to happen with me. I looked over at my clock and the time said it was only quarter past 6.

To pass time I grabbed my phone and listened to my favourite artist of all time, Ed Sheeran. The song started to play and mind was taken over by the beautiful lyrics. You know what they say, 'Music on, World off.'

I'm gonna pick up the pieces,

And build a Lego house

If things go wrong we can knock it down

My three words have two meanings,

There's one thing on my mind

It's all for you

And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm

If you're broken I will mend you and I'll keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love

I'll pick you up when you're getting down

And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind

I'll do it all for you in time

And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now, now

I'm gonna paint you by numbers

And colour you in

If things go right we can frame it and put you on a wall

And it's so hard to say it but I've been here before

Now I'll surrender up my heart

And swap it for yours

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love

I'll pick you up when you're getting down

And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind

I'll do it all for you in time

And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

Don't hold me down

I think my braces are breaking, and it's more than I can take

And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm
