The First Day

**Chapter 01**

Today was going to be a long day. I can already feel it deep in my stomach. I could feel the nerves building up as I stared out the car window. I took a deep breath and opened the car door, stepping out onto the sidewalk. I straightened out my shirt and skirt before bringing my back pack up to my shoulders.

"Have a good day sweetheart." my mom said, smiling sweetly at me. Her deep brown eyes beamed with joy as I looked back at her with my dread filled eyes.

I gave her a small smile and shrugged, "I'll try."

My mom cocked her head and raised an eyebrow at me, "You'll be fine. I have to go though. I'll text you when I'm heading over here okay?" she asked and I nodded in agreement. "Love you! Have fun!" she said, blowing me a kiss.

I nodded, rolling my eyes and shut the door. I watched as she drove away, wishing she would come back and bring me home. I didn't want to go, but I had to. My mom always told me that if I didn't, I would never have a bright future because nowadays, you need as much education as you can get to become successful.

I was really nervous about this because I don't adapt to change well, and this is a very big change. I mean, college. That's like the next big chapter in my life. How hard could it be though? I've asked people, and they said college wasn't bad at all. They said it was actually fun. I think I'm going to be fine today, or at least I hope.

The little voice in my head piped in, "You're going to fuck something up. You always do." the voice snickered.

I rolled my eyes, "No I won't." I yelled back at the voice.

Taking a deep breath, I pushed all the thoughts away and started to walk up the sidewalk. As I walked, I got some approving nods from a handful of guys. It was probably the outfit I was wearing today. I knew I shouldn't of worn this outfit, damn it. Any normal girl would enjoy the nods and stares that I was getting. They would feel flattered, but not me. It just makes me feel really uncomfortable. I try to hide behind my hair and continue to walk.

I pulled out my phone to check the time. It was quarter to noon, so I had plenty of time to get to my first class. Finding my class wasn't going to be that hard since I had taken a tour of the campus already. It was just beyond the library which was just ahead of me and a huge mass of people. I sighed and rolled my eyes. I took hold of my back pack straps and pushed myself past the very large group of people.

When I finally found my classroom, I walked in noticing some other people were already in there. They all stared at me as I sat down at a desk in the first row against the wall. These people really need to learn some manners. Didn't they know it was rude to stare. I rolled my eyes and took out my phone, checking it for any new text messages.

I didn't have any so I put my phone down on my desk and took out a notebook and a pen. I listened to the silence fall over the room. It was so quiet in the room; it was almost like I was the only person in here. My classmates didn't say one word to each other. The occasional sound was from a vibrating phone on a desk. To distract myself from the ear piercing silence, I decided to scrutinize my new classroom.

The room had no personality what so ever. It was probably the most boring room I had ever seen. I assumed the walls were white at one point, but through countless years and many bored students with pens and pencils, the walls became dingy and dirty looking. The floor was a dull blue carpet that was just as dingy as the walls. The opposite side of the room was lined with windows that didn't have much of a view. All that I could see was the roof of another building. At the front of the classroom, there was a very clean blackboard and a larger desk that was obviously for the teacher, who wasn't there yet. On the desk was a computer and a projector. It wasn't the best of rooms, but I only had to be here twice a week for half a year so it wasn't that bad.
