(Changed patty's name to Vanessa)
Photos: left to right- Vanessa, Jenny, Leona
Moving to a new school in the middle of the year is hard but kinda fun. I get to meet new people and make new friends. Plus I get to see my cousin Jenny again.
I haven't seen her since I was a little girl and I've missed her. We were really close back then and I hope she hasn't changed too much. Like me. That move really changed me. I've got big blue gauges and bar pierces on both ears. I have a lower lip piercing and eyebrow piercing. At least my hair is the same curly mess as a kid. That's about the only thing that was the same about me. Anyways, I hope Jenny's the same colorful girl I left behind.
When we were younger, she was happy and always so cheerful. She always knew what to do to get my hopes up. And I could really use it. With the sudden move and my dad getting a new job, life's been a little crazy. Hopefully Jenny can change that.
"FANNY VANNY!"
I crumbled my schedule in my hand as I jumped.
Or make it worse.
I felt two large arms wrap around me,"Hello lil cuz! It's been so long! Woah you've gotten big! But so have I. Anyway how's Big Bob? And more importantly, how are you? Are you holding in all right?"
"Jen-"
"Well doesn't matter cuz I'm here to help you through it all! Just like when we were kids. Those were the good ole days."
"Jen-"
"I miss those days don't you? Oh you're gonna love it here. Wait till you meet my friends and-"
"Jenny!"
Did I mention she's a chatter box?
"Yes cuz," she finally stopped.
"You've asked me so many questions that I haven't even gotten through the front door. And the bells rung and we're late."
"Oh fiddle sticks!" She checked time,"Don't worry, I got a friend that can give us a hall pass."
She still looked the same, well without the pigtails and missing teeth. With her long jet black hair, that I was always jealous off, and rosy cheeks. Her smile still bright. Oh cousin Jenny hasn't changed a bit. She still skips when she walks and has a pep in her step.
We walked up the giant stairs into the even bigger doors,"This place is huge," I said as I looked around. Their halls were full of pictures of past classes and teachers. Students arts and academic achievements plastered on the walls. Trophy shelves full of gold and silver, not a peck bronze in sight.
"Follow me and shut your mouth," she picked up the pace,"Just cuz this place looks clean, doesn't mean it is."
I didn't listen and a fly flew in my mouth.
"Told you."
She stopped near the girl's restroom,"Hey, its Moana!"
"I wish, she's like my favorite princess," the girl flipped her curly hair,"What's up Jen?
Jenny introduced me,"Yo Leona, this is my cuz Vanessa."
I shook her hand and she smiled,"Hey."
"Can I get a hall pass for me and my cousin?" Jenny asked.
"You just missed the mob of plastics that took all the passes except for one."
"Great." Jenny gave me a sad look and took the pass,"I need it more than you lil cuz. You're new so they'll probably let you off with a warning."
"Oh course."
Leona glanced in my direction,"So...Cousins?"
"Yep, she just moved back and I'm so glad, now we can hang out like old times and do each other's nails and-"
"Jenny, class," Leona pointed down the hall,"You're like 7 minutes late!"
"Cheese and Crackers!," she ran off,"See ya later lil cuz!"
Leona snatched my schedule,"Mrs. Brown's class is all the way down D hall, last door no the right."
"Thanks," I grabbed the paper and began walking.

I walked in and began to find a seat to sit in when the teacher said,"You're late again!"
"Oh, no, no," I held my hands up in defense,"I'm new here and-"
"Yes I am. Nice observation,"a girl sneered as she moved my bag and sat down in the seat,"New girl, huh? Well this is my seat."
The teacher rolled her eyes and went back to the board.
"Oh. Well I can seat next to you then."
A guy from behind me tapped my shoulder,"I wouldn't sit next to her unless I wanted to get some head, but listen, she might give you some std."
"Shut up, Jason!" The girl shouted.
The boy got up from his seat,"You know it's true, you slut!"
"Jason, do I need to call your father!"
The boy sat down and grumbled,"No ma'am."
"Amaya, do I need to call your father?"
Amaya...pretty name.
"Whatever," she mumbled and put her feet up on the desk,"Not like he gives a fuck."
"Alright," the teacher went back to the white board,"Lets begin."
The guy tapped on my shoulder again,"You don't have to sit next to her, why not sit next to me pretty lady." He wiggles his eyebrows.
I just sit next to him and stared at the girl in front of me. She was light skinned with green eyes. She had pink tips and black hair. Her face heavy with black makeup. She had two piercings in her cheeks, four piercings on one ear, two on the other and a nose ring. She had a scar on the left side of her face. I like her style. Maybe we could be friends.
I didn't notice when she gave me a stink face,"What?"
"Nothing.." I said as I quickly avoided my eyes.
Or not.
And so begins my prison sentence.
