Chapter 1: New School

"Wake up Katie.

You are already late"

I can hear my mom screaming at top of her lungs while she was trying to clean my messy room by picking up things which were all around my room.

"Cmon , hurry up now. Its already 8 a.m"

Welcome to the morning of the first day of my new high school. I was still sleepy and in order to avoid what my mom was saying I burried my head in my pillow.

I was almost back in my dream world when I felt the chilly air went down my spinal cord and I suddenly sat up in my bed. My mom was standing beside my bed holding my blanket.

"Mom! Give back my blanket. Its really cold" I said while clunching myself together.

"No Katie. you arealready late for your school. Its your first day, you need to hurry up. "

My mom pushed me in bathroom and closed the door behind me.

"I will see you downstairs in 5 minutes for breakfast. "

She said while leaving my room. I hurried up and ran downstairs after exactly five minutes. Everybody was waiting for me. My younger brother and sister, Mike and Emily were already busy in eating their breakfast and my father had already left for his office. He is a punctual man and don't like to get late for anything.

I started my breakfast as it was already thirty minutes past eight and my school started at nine sharp. My new high school ofcourse. I jumped in my seat and ate my breakfast as quickly as I can. I heard the horn of my bus and I started panicking.

"Oh my God! I am late ... I am late. Mom, where is my bag? " I shouted as I ran to my room to find it. I opened my cupboard and started throwing my books on floor as I kept looking for my bag. "I can't find itanywhere. I toldyoumomnottoletEmilyorMikeinmyroom. " I growled.

"Katie, Your bag is downstairs in the living room" I heard my mother's voice from downstairs. I ran downstairs and found my mother holding my bag and her expressions told me that she wanted me to appologize for accusing my siblings for the disappearance of my bag. I was studying last night in the living room as my room's heater was not working and it was quiet cold. Perhaps I forgot my bag there in the living room. This was not the first time I did this. Whenever I am unable to find my things I always accused my siblings for that.

"Urrrr. . I am sorry Kids!" I said flatly as I left the house.

"Goodbye Mom."

I ran towards the bus and slipped dramatically on the floor. Uhh .. awesome ... It can't be worse than this. I was already overwhelmed by the thought of my first day at high school. I was nervous and excited as well at the same time but more than that I was grieved for loosing my friends who are still studying in my old school and here I am changing my school as we have to shift to the southern part of the city because of my father's transfer here. I found the only vacant seat in the last row of the bus. Everyboday was staring at me as if I were an alien and had wings or long ears. It was awkward encountering so many eyes looking at you. Somehow, I managed to avoid all the stares and sat down quietly. There was pin drop silence in the bus. I wondered why everyone was staring me. Did I looked so wierd or what? I was a little afraid as well and this constant gaze of people made me more nervous and frightened. I was about to burst in tears that I heard a soft voice "Relax ... calm down ... Its okay. I can understand your condition, maybe because I was in the same condition a month ago."

I turned to see who was that person and found a pretty little girl sitting right next to me. Her blond hair, blue eyes and twinkling dimples made me forget the gaze of people around me and a wide grin appeared at the corners of my lips.

"Hey! I am Jessica." She said raising her hand towards me. I shook her hand and said "Hello, I am Katie. "

"Its okay Katie .. You don't need to worry about the people, now when I am with you." She said with a wide grin. Her words consoled me and I felt much better.

I felt the bus was slowing down and finally it came to a halt. We reached our destination, which was my new high school ofcourse. As soon as the bus stopped, there began a great hustle bustle in the bus to get out first. I felt my head spinning and I watched the children pushing each other to get out of the bus. I tried to get up but was pushed by a little girl back to my seat. Jessica grabbed my hand and pulled me. Finally, Jessica and I were standing outside the bus. I smelled some fresh air which helped in reducing some tension.

I didn't like my new school at all. Everything here was wierd and not like that I was expecting it to be. I was really disappointed. The school bell rang and I went to my first class hoping that it will be good after a very bad start of the day.
