Anxiety

Chapter 1

Genni's P.O.V.

   "GENNI!!! WAKE UP!!!" I groaned and drifted back to sleep. 5 minutes later, I heard my mom telling me to wake up again. I got out of bed and dragged my feet to the bathroom. I got ready for school and noticed that it was 7:10 already!

   I heard my brother leave for 7th grade as I rush downstairs to eat breakfast. I took one bite of my pancakes and told my mom that I had to go! My mom complained that I should get ready faster next time as I ran out the door to the train station.

   I got there just in time as the train approaches. As I got off the train, it was already 7:40 and I had to be there at 8. I followed a crowd of high schoolers off the train and 10 blocks to the school.

   Thankfully I wasn't late and I walked to the auditorium where we will be assigned our classes. I was given a folder saying that I'm in class 91 and has my schedule in it!   

   When I got to homeroom, I noticed that I knew nobody from middle school in my class. My homeroom teacher is Ms. Scott. "I'm going to take your attendance and as I call your name, tell us what you did over the summer," Ms. Scott said.

   I looked back at what I did over the summer and noticed that I didn't do anything at all. There were about 20 people before me and they all did something over the summer.

   Then Ms. Scott called me and I raised my hand slowly to tell her that I was here. She then asked me what I did over the summer and I said, "I-I s-stayed at h-home." I didn't know why I was stuttering! I heard people around me laugh and called me a freak while Ms. Scott continued with the attendance.

   I couldn't take the humility and ran out of the classroom. I ran and ran. I couldn't breathe and I started getting dizzy. Then I bumped into a guy and he caught me before I fell to the ground. "S-Sorry" and with all my strength I continued running all the way to the bathroom.
