The first day of school.
I throw on a skirt and tight top. I leave my wavy brown hair down and pin two strands together in the back. I slip on my black low top converse and walk down the old wooden stairs. The table isn't filled with food, like at home, but instead a small bagel wrapped in plastic sat alone.
"Morning." My mom says standing at the counter holding a cup of coffee.
"Good morning." I say softly.
"Excited?" I wish she would say the whole sentence.
"Yeah." I lie. school isn't my favorite place exactly.
"Nice, you sure you want to walk?" she says.
"Yeah thanks though." I grab my bagel even though I'm not hungry and pick up my backpack.
"Maggie." I hear her walk towards me. She looks at me and wraps her arms around my back. I hug her back, my face rests on her shoulder. I miss this, her, the way she holds me. we pull apart and she gives me a kiss on my head.
"I know you'll make friends." she smiles.
"I hope." i say walking out the front door.
I start to walk down the street. the cool September breeze fills me with hope that this school might be okay.
