For Jordan Adams's entire life, she has always been homeschooled. This year, her mom gives her the chance to go to Cedar Wood High. Jordan is super excited and counts the days down till school starts. But is it really as exciting as it sounds? Join...
I woke up in a blurry mess and glanced at my phone. Monday! Oh no. You would think I was excited to get to school, but I wanted to sleep for a couple of hours more. It was 6:30 am and my older brother, Sam, yanked my blankets off my bed. I felt a chill go down my spine and I had inquired why he did that.
I rolled off my bed and landed on the floor. That was just embarrassing. I put my uniform on and tied my hair in a quick bun. I did my makeup as quickly as I could and grabbed my phone. I ate my breakfast as fast as I could and then rushed to the bus stop.
Cedar Wood High had lots of kids rushing to their classes. I had no idea which classroom I needed to be in, but just then a young lady came over. She said we needed to print the schedule off from the school website or have it on our phone. I quickly checked my phone on the website and I was about to print it when a young girl came over to me.
"You must be new here. I am Ashley and here is the schedule for grade nine. My Mom is the head teacher here. So she gave me this schedule in case I do not know where to go or my phone loses the schedule. I have been here a lot because of her and all my other siblings went to this school. I know this place so well I can recite it backwards in my mind. Oh, by the way, what is your name? I do not recall you telling me your name yet'', Ashley asks.
"I am Jordan and I forgot that I needed to print it off. I was just about to print it off. It has been a mess today and I slept in too late this morning. 6:30 am! My older brother, Sam had to literally remove me from my bed which I fell out and then I had to gather my senses back from sleeping. My Mom was homeschooling me until this year and I am really excited I can go to a public school. My Dad is a doctor so he is always busy with his work, so much he only comes home certain times of the year. It is really depressing. I should go to my classroom or I will be late. I would not want that on the first day of school. It was nice chatting with you, Ashley. I see...... It is room 9B which is ...... Near the gym. Okay. See you Ashley''. I say, waving my hands to her. I looked at the time on my phone and it said 8:15 am. I opened the door and tried to find a seat. Most of the seats were taken, but then I found there was one seat left. I sat on the chair and waited for a couple of minutes.
"Welcome class. Hello. I am Miss Brown and I will be your homeroom teacher this year. If you have any problems go to your guidance counselor, which each of you will get one. Now my motto here is 'Early student equals student's life is comfortable'. It means to you, students that if you are late by one minute or do not tell me you are not here on a particular day, you will receive a late slip. I would advise getting here early. Be here on time for no extra homework or you will be sticking around after school. Well, do you understand class? Good. Now shall we start English as the first subject today?"Miss Brown asked.
You could hear a groan from all of the students and the flipping of English textbooks. After about an hour and a half, Miss Brown dismissed our class. They always say the first year of high school is easy when your Mom has been teaching you since you were four. The rest of the day at school went pretty well.
My school books fell out as I was shutting my locker and my cheeks became red when the hottest guy in the school saw me drop them. He started to help me pick up my books and supplies. Then I recalled that it was always polite to say thank-you and I did so.
I asked him, "'Why did you help me pick up my books? I mean... it is just weird.... no, it is not like that ... it is just different. I guess I am saying it was really nice that you helped me and you know that is a huge gift for me.'"
"'Really? I did not think it was anything spectacular. I honestly just wanted to help. I am Conrad by the way." Conrad said. He waved and left to head for the bus.
Then I got my stuff and headed for the bus. There was approximately about thirty students in it and sat behind some "Cool" guys. I did not actually think they were cool, but jerks who try to act cool. Plus, it was the only seat on the bus left! I was able to finish my Algebra and English assignments since there was traffic. Then I headed to my room, where I finished some English homework. I headed after to the laundry room to do some washing. I could not stop thinking of Conrad and how cute he was. I went to bed at 8 pm because I was so worn out and could only read for about ten minutes! Epic failure, but it was a smashing day! I had dreams of dancing with Conrad which is so weird and cool at the same time!!! Goodnight Diary. Sweet dreams!!! :)
