If Only . . .

The beggining

Hello fellow readers, I hope you will read my story. Since this is my first story that I hope I will continue, sorry if there is any grammar issues. Created on 1/21/2017. Enjoy!

Mia's POV

I stared out the window, dismal that it was finally school. Summer was just too quick, if I do say so myself. I hated school. I know everyone does, but I have to wake up at 6:20 am every morning to get ready, and leave at 7:10 to go to this hell. Moreover I usually have to walk. Since it's the first day of school, my mom decided to drop me off. Only for today though. I sighed as I mumbled, "hello junior year". The car stopped at the gate of our school. I checked my watch. 7:35 am. I brang my paper towel, hand sanitizer, wet wipes, and a bunch of other stuff. My backpack was heavy from all the notebooks and other stuff for the first day of school. I know that most high schoolers don't bring paper towels and stuff on the first day, but I want to be a good student and do so.

"Bye Ariel, good luck in school. Bye Mia,"  my mother told to me and Ariel. I hopped off the car and so did Ariel. The car drove away, she was going to drop off my younger brother Danny. I walked to my home room and dropped off the stuff for the teachers. I placed down my back pack on a seat and checked my watch, 7:45 am. I decided to go to the library to get a book. I walked out of my home room and walked to the library, which was nearby. Inside the library was a blue carpet, 2 couches, some tables, beanbags, computer lab, and books, obviously. I walked over to a shelf, that was the R section. I looked at the book, Percy Jackson. I was recommended to read it. I picked out The Lightning Theif and borrowed it. *Rrrriiiiinnnng* I walked to home room and took a seat.

"Everyone take a seat. I need to take attendance. If I call your name say something," Said Mrs. Parsons.

"Joey Diams?"

"Here"

"Mike Sato?"

"Here"

Mrs. Parson went on and on until she reached the whole class. 

" We have to go to an assembly so everyone grab a waterbottle or something and head outside," Mrs. parson said.

I walked outside at the back of the line, hoping to be unnoticed. A boy . . . Mike? He was staring at me. I guess I should make a new friend. It'll be better that I have a friend in the same home room.

"Hey, I'm mike," said Mike. 

"Mia," I said. 

"Want to be friends? It'll be good, that we're in the same home room," he asked.

"Sure," I replied, cause why the hell not. We chatted as we made our way to the gym. We sat down.

"Hello student and teachers. I'm Mr. Brown your principal. Freshmen, welcome to our school, we hope you enjoy your time here and seniors, we will miss you guys. As you know, we are a place where everyone is like a big family. You guys will all gain freedom, but there will also be responsibilities," said Mr. Brown. Blah blah blah blah blah blah. After the speech ended, which was great, because sitting here on the bleachers, packed with other student without a fan on, stinks. Literally. It smells like sweat which I don't enjoy. We were all sent out to recess. I tried to find my friends who I haven't seen all day. I spotted then at a bench under a big tree. I have a big chain of friends. My friends would be Ashley and Hailey. They are friends with Macey, Kendra, Marisa, Jaz, Lotus, and Kacie.

"hey," I said as I walked up to them.

"Oh, hi! You cut your hair? " asked Ashley. Well duh! My hair used to be up to my butt and now it's a little past my shoulders! How obvious is that?

"Yeah," I replied. I have 2 friends, both have black hair. Ashley wears purple metal glasses and came from a family who is rich. Her hair is straight and ends at the middle of her back, she also has black eyes. My other friend, Hailey has long black hair which is usually tied in a pony tail and has bangs. She has black eyes and is a quiet girl too.

"So what did you do over the summer?" Asked Hailey.

"Play games, sleep in, be lazy," I replied. I knew they probably went out somewhere and didn't invite me again. But that didn't bother me, as long as I don't look like a loner. I guess I'm using them. 

"What did you guys do?" I asked.

"Nothing much. Go to the mall?" Replied Ashley.

"I went to Las Vegas. I bought everyone something. Here," said Hailey.

She handed out some chocolate (I love chocolate) and pens to my whole chain of friends.

"Thanks," I said.

"No problem," said Hailey. *rrrrrriiiiiinnngg*

"Bye, see you at lunch," I told them. 

"Bye," they replied together.

After my period with Mrs. Parson and Mr. Mac ended, I headed to lunch. After I got my lunch I headed to a table, which was packed with my chain of friends friends. I sat down at the edge next to Hailey. Ashley was sitting next to a new girl....

"Who are you?" I asked, trying not to sound rude.

"I'm Satomi," she replied.

After lunch ended Ashley went up to me.

"Ugh. Satomi is sooooo dramatic. She cried three times today!" Ashley whined.

"Why is she so dramatic?" I asked.

"Well she came from a school and she was bullied. She was pushed and stuff I think," Ashley said.

"Well how did you become friends with her?" I asked.

"I didn't. Kendra did," Ashley said. Kendra was Ashley and Hailey's friend. She was social and loves attention, at least from my pov. She waves and smiles to everyone, crushed on the most popular boy, and is both smart and athletic. She is like a teachers pet, in which all the teachers love her. She seems to have everything I don't have. She usually ignores me, and oh how I hate her. She has long wavy blonde hair with blue eyes.

"Well, that's too bad, I guess," I said nonchalantly.

After school ended I headed home. My living nightmare.
