Saved By The Schmidt

First Day

The shopping wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I thought that she was going to do something to embarrass me. Like she was going to scream at the top of her lungs about a bra size or something along those lines. But she didn't. We shopped together and I got to pick out a few new outfits and then we went out to dinner. It was a free day, but the second we got home I went back to being grounded.

Today is my first day at Saint Helen's Prep. Also known as the snob school. Okay, only to me it is.

"Emmie come on it's time for school." Aunt Milly said. I groaned and finished getting ready. I grabbed my new bag and made my way down the stairs. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a bowl before making some cereal. "Are you ready?"

"Yes." I said, stuffing my face with a spoonful of cereal.

"Do you have everything?" she asked.

"Yes." I asked with a mouthful of food.

"Don't do that at school please." she said. I just nodded. I finished my bowl and put it in the sink. "I have some stuff to do at the art studio so Kendall is taking you to school. You might want to hurry up. You wouldn't want to be late on your first day."

I stopped and looked at her. I haven't seen Kendall in five days. Not since that night he pulled me away from the porch and got me grounded. Aunt Milly wouldn't let him be around. If she needed a favor she couldn't do herself she asked Dustin or Kendall's older brother Kevin. I grabbed my bag and left the house.

"KENDALL!" I screamed when I saw him waiting outside the house leaning against his car. I ran up to him and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Hello to you too." Kendall said, laughing. "Someone missed me."

"I don't know what you're talking about." I said, taking my arms off his neck. He laughed again and we got into the car.

"Are you excited?" Kendall asked as he backed out of the driveway.

Well, I've never really been a new student before. Not since I started in kindergarten so I don't really know how to feel." I said. The rest of the car ride was silent. I was thinking about the positive side of this... there isn't one.
