The Tea Party

Chapter 2

Sydney ran down the house with tears in her eyes. She didn't know what to tell her friends. She decided that she wouldn't tell them and pretend to be sick. Sydney's pocket buzzed and she looked at her phone. Someone had liked her photo on Instagram from this morning. She didn't post a photo that morning and she was really confused. She looked at the photo. It was a photo of her mom. Sydney looked st the caption and it said, 'Our family is moving to Texas for 3 years. My father is a trucker and that's why we're moving. We will miss everyone and I love you all. Sorry:(' Sydney eyes got 10x bigger and she immediately deleted the photo immediately. She knew right away that her mother had posted the photo. That's why her phone had been buzzing so much that morning. Then, Sydney remembered that the picture had 763 likes. Sydney knew that today was NOT her lucky day already.

        When she ran down the street she took down her bun. She wanted to look at good as possible before she was totally embarrassed and gets posted all over twitter and Facebook. She took out her phone to check the time and to see herself in the mirror of her phone. The time was 7:04 and Sydney knew she had to run to school. She ran looking at her phone in the camera app to look at her hair. She saw was a big blop of brown wavy hair. Sydney was astonished and brushed her hair through with her fingers. "Great! I just had to take my hair down, I don't even have a brush...", said Sydney.

She decided that she was just going to leave it this way and when she got to school she would ask her friend Alaina for a hairbrush. Alaina was the queen of hair. She knew that if she couldn 't get her hair perfect, Alaina could.

When Sydney got to school she was afraid to go inside. She doesn't know what would happen. She stood outside the school. It was 7:17 but Sydney didn't care. All she wanted to do was go home. Sydney looked around at her school wondering if anyone saw her just staring at the door. Sydney went to Heratagge High. She called it H High. H High was a very ugly place. Dead flowers everywhere with mulch that hadn't been replaced in three years. None of the windows were washed and on the inside, you wouldn't even know it's a school. There's trash everywhere with grey and hot pink wallpaper. All the doors are light green and the lockers are dark red and blue. The floor was black tile which also looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a long time. The bathrooms has 2 stalls which everything in the bathroom, was orange. The cafeteria was 6 tables up against a wall with trash cans in the middle. Everyone was mean to the janitor so he and his crew quit. Sydney hated her school but her family doesn't have enough money to go to a nice school.

Sydney finally stoped looking around and thinking and started to get the courage to step in the door. By his time it was 7:29 and she was late but she didn't care. She was going to be away from the school for 3 years. Sydney opened the light green door and stepped in.
