Big eyes

Chapter 2

It's Wednesday morning and I am so exhausted. I shouldn't have watched the last episode of Mean girls. Damn it. I have to get up and go to school.

"Mom?"

No one replied.

"Mom? Are you in the kitchen? I'm really hungry." I shouted.

Still no reply. I took a quick shower to wake myself up. Then I dressed up and found a piece of paper sticked to my computer:

'I went to work earlier. Dad bought some oats and yogurt yesterday. Take it to school and have a nice day! xoxo'

Cool. I have to take a bus to school. I don't even know if I'll be there on time. I called my friend from primary school Angela.

"Hey Angela. I was wondering if your brother can drive me to school, because my mom is at work already." I explained.

"Ya, sure. I'll let him know. Be in front of your house at 7:30" she said.

"Ok. Thank you so much!"

"Your welcome, darling."

"See you later."

"Bye."

I chatted with Angie's brother for a while, because he attended the same school as I do.

"You will like it there. Some teachers are pretty strict, but it's not that difficult."

"Yes, I see. Some of them are also weird." I said quietly.

"Weird? I don't remember any weird teachers. Maybe there are new."

"Maybe."

"But there're two new teachers from your school that moved to our neighborhood."

"What are their names?"

"I don't remember. Sorry."

"That's ok, you can tell me later."

We arrived to school at 8:09 because of the traffic jam in the center of the town. I hope that my teacher won't be mad at me. The first lesson is Geography. Oh. Geography with Murphy. I took a deep breath and opened the door.

"I am really sorry for being late Mrs teacher, but we were stuck in the traffic." I apologized.

"That's ok. Sit down." she said calmly.

As I was walking to my chair she stopped me.

"Or you know what? You can introduce yourself since you are already standing in front of the class."

"Uhmm... Sure, I can." I was surprised.

"The previous lesson I told you something about myself and now it's your turn, so you can start."

She stood up and sat down on the chair in the fourth desk. Wow, her outfit looks so stylish. She was wearing black trousers with plain yellow blouse and nice black heels. I like her style. She nodded and gave me a sign to start.

"Good morning everybody. My name is Alexandra and I am from London." My voice was shaking a little bit, but I kept talking.
"I am 15 years old and I am an only child, I have one dog. My hobbies are cooking and listening to music.

"Who is your favorite singer?" she interrupted me, which was surprising to me, because she didn't seem to be interested in what I am talking about.

"I like James Blunt, but also Beyoncé or Lana Del Rey, but James Blunt is probably my favorite one."

"I really like him too. Tell us something about your first impression of this school." she smiled.

"Well, it is really hard to describe. Everyone and everything is new to me and I really don't know what shall I expect. These past days were more stressful than usual."

"Don't worry, you will get used to it."

"Thank you."

"Ok, so Alexa told us something about herself. The next person should give a similar short introduction." she said.

I sat down and tried to stop shaking nervously. My cheeks were on fire and my heart was beating loudly. Why I get stressed out so easily in Mrs Murphy's company? My eyes were watching every her move. She looks so sophisticated, however, mysterious in the same time. I really wanna get to know her. Just to find what is she like out of school. It would be nice to see her. I wonder if she wears outfit like this on daily bases... But it's still so pretty.

I was on my way home when it suddenly started to rain heavily. I was confused and didn't know what to do next. Of course I don't have an umbrella. It's too difficult to remember to always carry an umbrella in your back.

I was trying to find a way how to come home without getting completely wet. My house was about 30 minutes far. I just have to run. I sat on the path for a while and look at the rain drops falling down on the warm dark ground. Rain is so beautiful. All of the sudden, a car stopped in front of me.
