"So are you asking me out or what?"I bluff. Cause honestly I really wanted him to
He smiles. "And what makes you say that?"
Damn he looked so hot in his Thrasher hoodie. One of my weaknesses? Guys that dress nice. Another one? Deep sexy voices. My...
I wake up to my annoying ass alarm ringing, I check what time it is and see that it's 6:00 am. My bus comes at 6:55 so I better start getting ready. Fuck it's the first day of school, the first day of high school! This summer my parents forced me to move to a new city and I barely know anyone here, I spent my summer watching Netflix and sometimes travelling 2 hours to see my friends back home. I was so nervous to start this new school, I'm sometimes very awkward with new people so I feel like today would be a disaster.
My morning routine was not as exciting as those youtubers that I'm 95% sure fake their lives on camera. I go to the bathroom, observe my face and splash it with water, I then connect my phone to my speakers and put on music that will completely wake me up (6ix9ine). I walk to my closet to figure out what to wear and spend like 10 minutes figuring it out, I usually dress to impress but this time I have to look extra nice as I want people to at least like how I look. I gather all my clothes from UO (urban outfitters) as it was my favourite store and try to make a decent outfit out of it.
I come up with a drawstring romper, a denim jacket and my white all star converse shoes.

Usually before I dress up I put my VS (Victoria secret) fragrance body lotion on as I take showers the night before and I'm not moisturised enough. I then go to my bathroom, brush my teeth, put my face moisturiser on, put a bit of mascara and some eyebrow fillers from benefit.
I check the time and its 6:30, ok 10 minutes to do my hair, I thought to myself. Yes it takes me 10 minutes to do my hair as I have thick curly hair and yes, I'm black...originally from Ethiopia actually. But since my Dad was an international lawyer, we moved here when I was 7 as it was more convenient for him. Whereas my mom is pursuing her dream on being a successful business woman. I think of what to do with my hair and I just thought of putting it in a slick bun 'cause it would be poofy if I just left it out without putting products in it. So I just get my brush and eco styler to get a slick bun with nice edges.

Once I finish I get my school bag which I organised last night, spray some perfume and run down the stairs to eat breakfast. My mom left some pancakes for me on the table and is probably asleep rn and my dad is probably at work and took my little sister with him as her school is near his office. I quickly munch down the pancakes and grab the lunch money my dad left on the table. I was about to walk out the house when I saw my burgundy nike water bottle and went to take it.
It was 6:55 right now and the bus was still not here. I was extremely nervous to meet new people at school and in the bus. I got a text from my best friend from back home. "Meet any hot guys yet?" I smile but it quickly fades away as I see the school bus approaching. For some unknown fucking reason I start to have butterflies in my stomach and my head starts pounding, my brain is telling me to walk back home and just stay in bed and be homeschooled but I had to face this one way or another.
The bus stops and it's 7:00 AM, it slowly opens and I walk in to see a lot of teenagers talking and laughing and some giving me "the look". The look as in the "who the fuck is that new girl" look. I nervously sit down at an empty seat in the middle row.
"Hi, what's your name" says this red headed girl as her friends just glare at me as if I had done something wrong. "Samantha" I reply, shit I was supposed to ask what hers was as well! "Nice, my is Kathi" she smiles at me. I smile back trying to think of what to say as one of her friends starts talking and she turns back and starts chatting with them.
I look around the bus and everyone has a friend to talk to about their summer as I was just the loner who did not know what to do. I just look out the window the whole time and then I see us approaching the school and the butterflies start to come back.
"Fuck, I hate my life" I say to myself as the bus stops and waits for us to get off. I wait for everybody to get off and then slowly get down praying to myself that my first day at school would be decent.
