Georgie Hensley is Veronica

The first day of school should be exciting right? I mean before I could hardly wait to jump into my mom's car and arrive. What changed? Why is a part of me dreading it? I think the only part I must really love about it is seeing my friends and well not being home because that can get bo....

"VERONICA!" 

Startled i jump in my seat and turn to the right to see my friend Stacey glaring at me.

"I've been trying to get your attention all class! What the heck is wrong with you? Why are you ignoring me!," exclaims Stacey.

"Sorry I got lost in thought," I say sheepishly.

"Well next time don't"

"Well what do you want?" I say with a slight roll of my eyes.

"What's your schedule? I mean I know I have you for English, obviously because we are in it at the moment, but what about after that?"

"No this is the only class I have you for. I have health next."

The bell rings soon after and I drag myself into the hallway allowing myself to get swept up with the vast population of Mountainwood High School. I have never been to the part of the building where health is so I prepare myself to get lost. I already know I don't have any of my friends for any classes soon so I'll be awkward and alone for a bit. The thing with me, Veronica Armendariz, is that I am an incredibly shy girl, but at the same time I love to talk. While this is pretty normal for a 15 year old, it is nothing close to what I want to be. I want to be fearless, talk to whoever I want whenever I want, but I am too shy to randomly talk to someone I don't know at all.

Finally 6 minutes later (and already late to class on the first day), I trudge my way into Mr. Cruz's health class. He seems like a genuinely nice teacher, but then again don't all of them act like that the first few days of school. It's like their trap to  make sure we don't drop the class, before they unleash their true selves and by then it is too late to drop the class.

Thankfully, I'm not the only one who is late. Half of the class isn't here yet, which is both relieving and nervewracking. What if I get someone that I really dislike and have an "AW HELL NAH" moment like that meme that everyone posts before the first day. Or worse what if I don't know anyone at all??? Thankfully, I'm saved from that when Gwen, a girl I've known since 7th grade walks in. We don't really talk that much anymore, but enough that we will most likely hangout this period.

I can't help but wonder who else is going to be in this class....

OH HELL NO! NOT HIM
