Under The Hood

You all have probably have heard of Little Red Hiding Hood. Well my story is kinda like that, but my is not like the little kid/ fariytale one. This story is about a girl who lives in our century. She is 14 years old. Her name is Carmen. She has never been to school, because, well, because she is not a normal teenager. And what I mean by that well you will find out.

"Carmen guess what?" My mom said as she walked into my bedroom.

"What is so important that you had to wake me up at 5:00 in the morning?!?" I answered back a little angry.

"Well, Ms. Moody Pants, you should get up start getting ready." My mom stated.

"Why the heck do I need to get up and get ready this early in the morning?" I asked confused.

"Don't you remember what we talked about last night?" My mom asked.

"No........" I replied.

"Well, your going to school today." My mom said with a smile on her face.

"WHAT?!?" I yelled.

"Clam down, I got everything set up. You are starting today." My mom responded.

"What about.... you know........ that thing?" I asked.

"You can wear a hood. I asked your teachers if it would be okay if you wore a hood because it is part of our culture. So just keep your hood on all the time." My mom said.

"Our culture?" I laughed. "Mom your the best. I'm a little scared, this is the first time I have gone to school. How about if someone finds out my secret?" I asked

"How can they? As long as you keep your hood on and not go wild and be normal. You should be fine." My mom answered back.

"Okay." I said.

"Now get dressed and get ready." My mom said as she walked out the door.

What am I going to wear today. Well something nice but something with a hood.I decided that I'm going to wear jeggings, red sweatshirt, and my red Nike high-tops. 

After I get dressed I run down the stairs and quickly eat my breakfast. I finsh just in time, just as I put the bowl in the sink the bus honks outside. I grab my backpack and run out the door. When I get on the bus I look around to see where I'm going to sit. There was only one seat for room for one more person, it was a girl. She was wearing a tie-dye sweatshirt, sky blue jeans and black flats. She had blonde hair that was up in a bun. She was listening to music. She turned her head.

"Hi!!!", the girl said with a huge grin on her face.

"Are you talking to me? Hi." I answered back nervously. 

"Sit down, sit down. Are you new here I have never seen you around?" She said and asked.

"Well I have lived in this town for 14 years, but I have been hone schooled. Today is the first day at a school." I said back.

"My name is Mackenzie. But you can call me Mac. Classify me your new best friend. What's your name?" She asked.

"My name is Carmen." I replied.

"Well Carmen, what type of music do you like?" She asked.

"I like Portugal. The Man. But no one knows who they are." I said with a little giggle. "I like dubstep and pop, but I like a little bit of everything." I answered.

"Oh, cool. I'm listening to She Looks So Perfect, by 5SOS. Do you want to listen?" She asked.

"Sure. I like that song" I replied. The next thing I know, is that were at this huge brick buliding. Which I am guessing is the school. It was huge.
