"Daniel honey! You're going to be late for your first day of school! Hurry up!"

I heard my mum calling me from downstairs. School, yay! I thought sarcastically. I'm never really in a good mood (especially since it's the morning). After about ten minutes of contemplating life I finally force myself to get up.

I hauled myself to the bathroom where I took a good look at myself in the mirror: boring brown eyes, stupid curly hair, noodles for arms, oh yeah, and don't forget the fact that I'm practically a giant, standing at 6'3. I never really liked my body or the way I looked. Maybe someone would think differently one day.

I made my way over to the shower and thought about what it was going to be like at my new school. My old school was great and I sure would miss it. So many nice people were there and made you feel like you could talk to them about anything and everything. I let the soothing warm water drip down my body one last time before I got out and dried myself off.

I fiddled with my curly hair that I call my "hobbit hair" and proceeded to straighten it. I walked back into my room where I picked out the blackest clothes I could find and threw them on, then ran downstairs and got some breakfast when my mum desperately tried to make small talk.

"I'll bet your new school is gonna be great."

"Not as great as Lakeview," I mumbled.

"Don't be so negative all the time, Daniel." She said. "At this school try to make some friends and join clubs." I never was quite the social person, but I wouldn't dare try to make friends at a new school in a new city. I know better now.

"Yeah, okay. Whatever you say," I said sarcastically. I got up from the chair I was sitting on, grabbed my backpack, and headed out the door. I barely heard Mum say, "And watch that attitude young man!" But I just ignored it and continued to walk along the pavement.

I got up to the front of the high school I was attending and I was nervous. My anxiety didn't help either. Before I went in, I observed my surroundings: People throwing balls around, making out in some places, and just being normal angsty teenagers in their natural habitat. I took a deep breath.

"Hello high school. What glorious adventures will I await inside?" I whisper to myself with false hope, and walk inside.

A/N~ So hey sexy noodles! I hope you like this story I'm working on! I'm gonna try not to do A/N's at the end or beginning of every chapter because I know that sometimes gets annoying, but if anything exciting happens or anything I feel like I need to tell you then I will. And sorry this is a short chapter lol. It's late here and I need to go to sleep (school night fml). I promise most chapters are going to be a lot longer and more exciting in the near future! I also just thought of this idea for a fanfiction like 2 hours ago and I just started writing it. Anyways, ima go and I'll see ya in the next chapter.
