I woke up to my mom "Wake up Rosey! First day of school Hun. What do you want for breakfast?" I am glad my mom woke me up, but she said all of her words too fast this early in the morning.
"Uh..." I mumbled. "Oatmeal?"
"Okay." she sweetly replied. I looked around at my room. Every time I see it I wonder if this is all real. Is it really mine?
I get up slowly and open my drawers. I pick out my Marina Floral Bar Back Dress. (http://www.wetseal.com/mariana-floral-bar-back-dress-49384079.html?dwvar_49384079_color=6#start=4) Typical me. I hope there is no dress code at my new school. I grab a pair of blue jeans and a white crochet poncho just in case and stuff them in my backpack.
I get downstairs and find mom finishing up my oatmeal. I brush my hair and teeth in the downstairs bathroom. I get out see my homemade oatmeal and orange juice. I almost all of my oatmeal but I don't even think to drink the orange juice. Yuck! I wash my bowl out and grab a vitamin.
"You ready Rose?" My mom asks.
"Uh, yeah. I think so." I put on my black Vans and grab my backpack.
I get into our black mini-van and so does Mom.
"Are you excited?" Mom asks.
"No." I answer.
"Why?"
"Because Mother... being the new girl isn't fun." it's like she forgot how difficult being a high schooler is.
"Aw, sugarplum... you'll be great!" she said with a kind of sorry look but also enthusiastic at the same time. "Ooo! Here it is!" We pulled into a pretty large school.
I look at the clock. "6:30!?" I yell. What school starts at this time?
"Yeah. You have to get your schedule." Oh. I get out of my car and pull my dress down.
Finding the Main Office was really easy. Uh... the huge building right in the front.
I walk in and a nice looking woman greets me. "Hey darlin! Whats up?" She said spinning around in her chair.
"Uh, my name is Rosey- uh Rose Brighton." I kind of ask kind of say. "Im new here."
"Oh of course" she turns around and opens a large drawer full of files. She pulls a large stack out and hands them to me.
"Thanks." I whisper loudly.
"Also hun- if you need anything you can come here." she says. I really like her... who is she?
"Wait- whats your name?" I ask before leaving.
"Faye." she said. "And your Rose?"
I thought for a second. "Rosey."I smiled.
"Have a good first day Rosey!" She smiled back as I walked away.
I looked at my phone it read 6:30. What time does this school start anyway? The school is pretty crowded so it my be soon.
I checked my schedule. It was much simpler than at my old school. There was no A days or B days. Just a simple schedule.
P.1 - Algebra 2 | Mr. Warrington | Room 6C
Simple enough.I walked over to the classroom and saw some people were waiting. Misfits probably. I would NEVER do this at my old school but hey- what are the other choices?
"So, are you new?" I hear a lispy voice from behind me.
I turn around. "Oh. Uh, yeah." I tell her. She was a lot shorter than me... A LOT! She had brown hair and brown eyes
"Well then, welcome!" She said. Everyone here is so friendly. This girl seemed much younger than me, not by her face, but her height and voice I would assume she was still in elementary school.
"How old are you?" I ask. I see from her facial expression that is a weird first question.
"14. You?" Luckily it wasn't too weird.
"15." I said.
"And, your name?"
"Uhm, Rosey."
"Hi," she said very awkwardly. Oh great Rosey, you already got yourself screwed. "I'm Diane. I know it seems like an old lady name, but it's mine. Soo..."
"I like it." I smile. Diane smiles too.
The bell rings and a chubby old man who I am assuming is Mr. Warrington walks out to invite us in.
"You must be Rose Brighton?" He kind of asks kind of says.
"Mhm.." I would correct him by saying Rosey, but I like teachers to call me Rose. I don't know why. It just seems like Rosey is a name for people I... I don't know. It just seems weird.
"Here," Diane says. "you can sit over here. By me."
Before I can say anything back, I am inturrupted. "New girl!"
