The Fate of a Rider

Chapter 4: Back to School

There was one day left until the start of school. I wasn't excited, happy, or anything like that. The only thing that I was excited about was finally seeing my best friends again, Elisabeth, McKenzie and Abigail. The people I really didn't want to see again was Emma and her group of minions. They have been bullying me since the 6th grade. They bullied me because of my shoulder-length brown hair, that looked like "mud". And my green eyes that look like "spoiled kiwi's". I ignore it, but sometimes it can really get to me and make me cry. I don't really tell anyone because, it wasn't really that terrible.

The day was normal, no one found out about last night and it was a typical day.

6:40 AM

I wake up to the sounds of my alarm.I run out of bed, eat, brush my teeth, dress-up, and head towards the car. It's now 7:00 AM, school starts in 45 minutes, and it takes about 30 minutes to get to the town. This time I sat in the backseat so my brother wouldn't kick my seat again. I quickly check if I have everything in my bag, and I do. As we ride I just look out of the windows, or play on my phone.

When we get to school, I say goodbye to my mom and get out. I look up at the school to see if anything changed during winter break.

Lakewood Middle and High School

Nope, nothing. I walk through the gate of the school and see my friends sitting on the stairs to the entrance of the beautiful dark blue school.

"Elisabeth, McKenzie, Abigail! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" I ran right at them, giving them all a big hug. We sat down and took the last 15 minutes before school and started talking about our winter break. 

Ring, Ring, Ring.

The school bell rang and we all picked up our bags and got stuck in hallway traffic, which was a big thing in LMHS (Lakewood Middle and High School). We got into our classrooms. I had music with Mrs. Smith. Then, I had Spanish with Mr. Levi, and in that class, was Emma. She sat right in front of me and her friends sat all around her. I could see her mirror in front of her face, she was trying to touch up her mascara and lipstick. 

Then, in walked Mark, Emma's boyfriend. She came up to him and twirled her light blonde hair and started talking to him. Mr. Levi came in and she immediately started towards her chair and sat down. 

"I woke up at like 5 today, just to curl my hair." Emma said to her minions and then turned back at me, "Looks like someone forgot to brush their hair, but don't worry even if you brushed it, it would still look like a mop."

Ring, Ring, Ring.

Recess. I walked outside and saw my friends and walked towards them. We went to the Cafeteria and then got our food and ate until recess was over.

Last Period-Math. I went into class with McKenzie and we sat down side-by-side. And in walked McKenzie, will her arm linked with her boyfriends'. She walked beside me and spilled her juice all over my shoes.

"You should clean that up with the mop on top of your head." she announced so loud so that everyone could hear. And they started laughing at her comment. 

"You shut your big pie hole and turn around okay." McKenzie stood up.

"Oh, how terrible of me to do so to your friend over here. Its okay. I am sorry but someone has to clean up that juice, so I asked your friend over here." Emma smiled. Ugh, I hate when she acts so mean in a nice way.

"Emma, principals office, Now!" Our math teacher, Ms. Meyers, came in and gave Emma the evil eye. I really wanted to go to the principals office with her to see what she says.
