Ok... Breathe. You'll be ok! It's only high school no one will judge you. Oh I'm just trying to trick myself so I relax, one of the biggest days of my life is now... I look in the mirror in my bathroom checking for any imperfections. "BECKY!!!" My mother screams up the stairs, "You're going to be late! Don't want to be late do we?".A sunken feeling overcomes me, this is the moment.
Driving in the car I try to be calm but every now and again I feel like jumping out the car and running far away. Mother tries talking to me, she knows I suffer from anxiety, she knew how hard this was going to be for me. Deep breaths in and out it'll all be ok I convince myself.
We pull up into the drive of the school, it's larger than it looked like on the leaflet... Anxiety starts filling me up inside, I'm screaming inside but I still look calm outside.
People of all races stare me down, I just lower my head and grab my phone and start talking to my closest friend DJ.

*end of text convo
My mother beckons me out of the car into the foyer of the school where I was greeted by the head, Mrs Dankins. " and you must be our new girl, Becky?" She says holding out her wrinkly hand, I shake it whilst nodding, my anxiety swallows all words which I own. This shouldn't be so hard... right?
