*alarm goes off*

"Turn off your alarm" you mumble still half asleep.

"Why don't you do it?" mumbles your older sister, Samantha from across the room.

"Ughhhh" you groan as you get up out of your bed over to the annoying clock & turn it off.

You walk into your bathroom & do your regular morning routine. Before I go on, let me introduce myself, my name is Katherine but you can call me "Kath", I'm 17 years old & I recently moved to Miami with my family because yolo, lol I'm kidding. I really don't know why we moved, I came home from school one day & found out that we were moving. It really didn't affect me because I'm usually that quiet girl in the back of the class that doesn't have much friends. Anyways, today is going to be my first day at my new school. I'm terrified because this year I won't have my sister by my side due to the fact that she graduated 2 years ago. I'm in my 1st semester of senior year & my parents decide to move. Great. Okay back to me in the bathroom, I plug in my straightener & while I wait for it to heat up, I log onto twitta. I scroll past my timeline & do the usual; retweet tweets & tweet good morning to my amazing followers. After a while I started getting bored so I logged off & went on Pandora & of course the first song that popped up was "Emotions" by Mariah Carey aka my jam. I started singing my precious heart out while I was curling my tips.

I feel good

I feel nice

I've never felt so

Satisfied

I'm in love

I'm alive

Intoxicated

Flying high

It feels like a dream

When you touch me tenderly

I don't know if it's real

But I like the way I feel

Inside

Not to brag but I hit that last note perfectly. But then all of a sudden I heard someone banging on my door. I opened it & it revealed an angry Samantha.

"Kath can you please shut up!? It's 7 in the morning & I have a job interview at 10 so can you please shut your mouth?" she yelled.

"I'm sorry, I just got so into the music." I responded back. "Im sorry. You can go back to sleep Sammers."

And with that she closed the door & went back to bed. I played my music, but turned it lower this time. After I finished doing my hair which turned out perfect, I did my makeup. I'm not that type of girl that like cakes her face with makeup. All I do is apply foundation, mascara to my already curly eyelashes, a tad bit of blush, & apply Chapstick. After that I hurry to my closet to pick out an outfit. I looked through my unpacked bags & my closet but I still couldn't find anything to wear. I looked through one more bag until I found my perfect outfit. It was a turquoise spaghetti strap shirt that revealed your belly, a pair of white shorts, a black beanie, & my galaxy vans after that I applied some jewelry to complete my outfit & once I was done, I looked surprisingly good. Of course being the girl that I am, I posted a selfie on Instagram with the caption, "ready for new school. #confident" & with that I grabbed my book bag and headed downstairs. I checked the time on my phone & it read 7:56am, I was right on time because school starts at 8:30 & I wanted to pass by Starbucks. & of course being that early, nobody was awake so being the adventurous person that I am, I decided to walk to school. I left a note on the counter saying that i was going to walk to school. I headed out my door and boy let me tell you it was HOT outside, I'm glad I wore shorts today. I had no idea which way Starbucks or my school was at so I just roamed around the streets & somehow I ended up in front of Starbucks (it's my inner white girl senses). I walked in & ordered what I usually get, which is a Strawberry Smoothie. Omg let me tell you someone thing, those are literally the BOMB.com, like if I could, I would drink those 24/7. I paid the cashier & I was on my way to find my school. As I was walking on my way to school, I got a text from my mom:

Text:

Good luck today at school baby. Make friends! Love you.

-Mom & Dad xo

As I was about to reply, I bumped into someone & dropped my phone.

"I'm so sorry, are you okay?" He said as he bent over and picked up my phone.

"Yeah I'm fine, sorry about that, I should have been paying attention." I told him.

"No worries, oh here's your phone, I'm surprised it didn't break"

"This phone is a warrior." I joked.

"I bet." He chuckled.

As he laughed, I studied his face, he had a SnapBack & sunglasses on which were covering his face. He looked & sounded familiar but I couldn't remember where I've seen him.

"Well I'm still sorry, um well I gotta get to school. I'll see you around? I'm Katherine by the way" I told him while i stretched my hand out to shake his. He looked hesitant at first but he shook my hand.

"Carter. My names Carter."

"Well Carter I'll see ya around." & with that I started walking to school.
