The Story of Dani

The New Girl

-Dani’s Room-

Hi my name is Danielle Hendricks, but people call me Dani for short. I am sixteen years old I guess that makes me a sophomore in high school I'm starting my first day at McKinley High today. I'm up in my room getting ready for the day I look at myself in my full length mirror I am wearing black skinny jeans, a Katy Perry shirt that says, "I kissed a girl" I walk to my closet and open it I look around and I finally find what I am looking for I smile and grab my black Converse these are like my favorite. I sit on my bed and put my socks on than my shoes. I get up and look at myself again in the mirror as I am checking myself out there is a knock on the door. (Actually it was more like a pound) I sigh and walk to the door and open it my older sister Gabby is standing there I look at her she is wearing a short skirt a pink tank top and a white jacket over it she has white heels on. She is only two years older than I am so you can guess her age.

Dani: What?

Gabby: I’m supposed to take you to school with me.

Dani: Why can’t mom take me?

Gabby: She had to go into work early.

Dani: Of course she did.

Gabby: So are you like ready or not?

Dani: I’m like ready.

Gabby rolls her eyes and walks off I walk back into my room and check myself out I look good. I go to my shelf and grab my perfume I spray a little onto myself and grab my bag that has drawings all over it. Yeah I know kind of childish to have a bag that has drawings on it, but my old friends back in Texas drew on it before I left so I didn’t have the heart to get a new one I guess this bag is special to me. I walk down the stairs I hear Gabby honking I roll my eyes and walk out the door locking it behind myself I get into the car where Gabby has hip-hop music blasting.

Gabby looks at me and I look at her. She always gives me weird looks when we are alone. Maybe it’s because I like girls and she hasn’t figured out how I could like “Vagina” and not “Penis.” We would get into arguments over it it’s like she is my second mom cause my mom doesn’t accept it either she doesn’t understand it. I always tell her that I was born this way and there is nothing that she could do to change it.

Dani: May I help you?

Gabby: No I was just looking at your outfit it’s cute.

I raise an eyebrow and turn in my seat.

Dani: You think that my outfit is cute?

Gabby: Yeah. Can’t I like your clothes?

Dani: I usually wouldn’t mind, but you never like my clothes or anything that I wear. Why the sudden change?

Gabby: Maybe I’ve had a change of heart.

Dani: Uh-huh sure.

I turn back around now I’m confused because Gabby is never this nice to me. We get to the school I look out the window and sigh I grab my bag and get out. I walk into the school and look around I find the office and walk in.

-The Office-

The lady at the front desk looks at me and smiles I smile back.

Lady at the front desk: How can I help you?

Dani: I’m new here.

Lady at the front desk: Oh you must be Danielle Hendricks.

Dani: That’s me.
