It was cold that morning.
My eyes still puffy from crying all last night I looked to the clock. 5:30 a.m.
My heart pounded.
My first day of high school waited for me. I sat up and push the warm blankets from me, shivering I turned the light of my room on. Green wall surround me and i could feel the fearful tears fill my eyes. I took shaky breathes trying to gather some sense and see that it wasn't the end of the world even though i wouldnt know any one.
That i was the new kid. From another school. From another state.
I heard rumors about this school.That the school was nothing but junkies and whores. That every one was either a red neck or grung.
I looked around my room and slid a cold sweatshirt over my warm bare body and shuffled to the empty kitchen. And the hunt begins, i thought as i opened the refrigerator. My stomach twisted, and suddenly nothing sounded good.
I groaned.
I forced a strawberry pop tart and a few sips of cold milk down my throat. I got up and walked back to my room with out taking a second glance and the wrappers and cup on the counter. My house was cold and quiet, i was the first one up and the first one to leave in the morning from now on as my mom told me.
I was back where i started, surrounded by the green walls, one window, and an over sized dressser full of useless cloths. I saw the outfit that i picked out the night before in the midst of tears and being scared out of my mind.
Tight dark blue jeans, a loose white V-neck shirt and a army green coat. And my back pack from sixth grade.
I sighed looking at the backpack, blue, pink, and gray striped with the Etnies symbol embedded on the front. I loved that backpack.
I limply dropped to the floor and threw my hand to the jeans and slid them on.
It was still dark out when i travled down the road, passing houses that where still sleeping, on to the buss stop. The cold bit into my jacket and forced me to shake with the morning cold. I stared at my feet trying to remember the summers heat, the smell of grass and sun. I felt my self shake again before looking up for my buss.
The last thing i wanted to think of was my home in South Caorlina and Erik. I could feel my heart shred its self with the thought of Erik and his smile in the setting sun. The faint memory of the smell of cigretts on the beach and the roar of the waves against the sound of heavy beats, tore the seams of my heart. I could feel my self begin to swell with emotaions. NO, dont cry the buss is about to come, i thought.
And with that i could see headlights and the sound of somthing big and old coming, so enough the buss rumbled up. i steped to get on to the buss as the doors opened and took a deep breathe in.
By the time i got to the school the sun lit the sky up with a light baby blue, i opened my eyes from the breif nap i took while riding the buss and saw nothing but cornfields, then a school. Seriously? I thought. i sighed.
And by the time i walked up to school i could feel my self begin to panic inside, while everyone eles was running up to each other recalling on memmoires from the summer and laughing about the previous year, i akwardly stood in a small corner waiting for the doors to open. I silently hoped for some person to come up to me greet me and say something like there on the welcoming comette, just like in the movies. But no, i was left alone to wait as the new kid.
As i waited i pulled out my scedule to show me where i was going first. English9, Graphic design, Biology, Lunch, Algabra, Free Period, Civics&Econ. Once again, i sighed i dreded every moment i had away from my friends in South Carolina.
I lifted my eyes to look around and see all who was waiting outside of the school, like every normal high school i saw all the cliques, the ghetto kids, the kids who wore to much make up, the preppy kids, the emo kids, the weird and akward kids, and the kids who only wore skinny jeans. And many other cliques but i could exsactly put a lable to them. But what sumed it all up was the rumors ive heard, most of them look just flast out drity and grungy, and the other half look like they just walked out of the stables from milking the cows.
But in the midst of the crowd i saw the long haired boys grouped together all laughing and joking around. I watched one walk up in a blue beanie and and long brown hair. Oh shiiit he looks cute, i thought. But before i could creep any more the school doors opened and i was off to my first class. English.
I walked into my english class and saw the tables were in groups of five. Oh my god im going to die, i thought. After carfuly picking out a seat in the middle near the back, i timidly sat down and looked around waiting for the room to fill up.
And fill up, it did. But i unfounetly picked the where i was the only girl. I looked at them. The one sitting next to me, chubby, greasy and stunk like body oder. The one across from me, soft looking brown hair, insanley blue eyes and a fox tee shirt. The one sitting next to him, looked almost the same but not as good looking, long brown hair hazle eyes and a purple sweatshirt.
I took a deep breath in, searching for the clock in the room to see when this would be over.
By the time i was having a nervous break down, everything was just so overwhelming. The school work did scare me, it was fine and simple, but the school its self and the socail aspect made my want to pee my pants.
I pulled out my schedule one more time to check and see where i was going next. Computer Graphics, on the second floor. i fought my way up the crowded stairs to the computer room. The teacher was waiting outsider the door. Tall skinny guy with glasses. I smiled
"Hi, im Mr Bennidict, your seat is number 12." He shook my hand.
I took a deep breathe in, pufffed out my chest and seached for seat 12. i heard the chatter of ffriends and things. My insides dragged down of not having any one to talk to, let alone not knowing any one.
Mr.Bennidict walked in and took atendence.
"Alora Norsen,"
"Here," i spoke in a small voice, he looked over to me and smiled again.
"Romeo Chasewood,"
"Yah?"
I looked over to who said that, brown hair blue...beanie... Oh my god, i thought. its that kid, i thoght again, i sat up a little try to get a peak at his face, oh please have a cute face, i begged to nothing.
"Romeo, school started no hats." Mr. Bennidit said
"Oh sorry," He said in a lazy voice.
He must have felt some one staring becuse he glanced over at me. I saw his pouty lips and green eyes.
Shiiiit, i thought. i snatched my eyes away and could feel my face go warm.
