#2: New School, New Life. 🏫

"Morning! Morning!!" My brother barged into my room sounding like a rooster. I was shocked and irritated on the fact that he barged into my room and woke me up by scaring me.

" What's up with you! You scared the hell--" I sat up as my eyes were still closed shut.

" Okay, okay. I'm sorry, I was just feeling positive today since its our first day to school. A new start too." he apologized, " C'mere let's get up. We have 30 minutes to get ready, and I clearly know how long you shower everyday. " he gave me a hand and pulled me up from my bed.

I opened my eyes, adjusting to the brightness of the bedroom and then was carefully pushed to the bathroom.

" Hurry, we need to eat breakfast too."

-

While I showered, shower thoughts ran through my mind about what my brother talked to me about yesterday. He told me not to get into trouble anymore, because in my past school, I was suspended for a month for breaking the school rules.

I was that kind of girl. The one who gets into trouble all the time, and was rude to almost everyone. Ever since my parents left, I guess I tried to change myself because that was a wish from them to me.

Since it's a new start, I will have to turn over a new leaf, a new side of me, knowing that I probably won't make it to be a 'good girl.' But it's worth a try anyway.

-

I rushed out of the bathroom to get into my school uniform for the day. I combed my hair and adjusted my uniform, feeling a sudden change of the temperature of my body get warmer.

The thick layered uniform just frustrates me.

--

" Hurry, we have 5 minutes to eat. Let's use that time wisely..!" My brother knocked the door and left.

" OK! " I quickly took my neatly-packed school bag and rushed to the dining table, where food was served.

We weren't actually late but, we had to leave the house in 5 minutes in order to get in time.

--

My brother and I walked to school slowly and nervously, checking time-to-time if we were late. When we were walking our way to school, we expected to see students walking to school too. In this case, we were the only students out there.

" You think we're late? Do you wanna walk a bit faster, maybe? " I suggested.

" Hahaha.. I think we should, sis."

We quickened our walking pace to school that was just a few steps away, when we heard a bell, signalling that we were exactly on time.

We stepped into the school and walked our way through the hall, that was filled with people.

" Well at least we're on time."

" You know where your class is, right? I'm in the senior year so I'll have to get to class on the third floor. Ask around on where your class is, I'm sure you can. I'll go off to class first. Take care and make some wonderful friends. " My brother waved at me and smiled, heading to the nearest staircase.

Oh such a wonderful brother he is. I have never been thankful in my life.

I stopped and realised that the hallway was almost, about to be empty, so I quickly headed to class.

--

" Class, this is the new student I was speaking of a week ago! If any of you would like to know her better , please do come and talk to her, but not during my lessons, yeah? " the teacher introduced me to the class.

I headed back to a random seat, sitting next to a boy that seemed like a nerd to me. I looked at him, while everyone laughed loudly, some even called him names.

this scene seems..familiar, but this time, I wasn't the nerd, nor the new me. I was the mean one.

--

I left the classroom and headed to the canteen. It was break and I knew that my brother maybe made some new friends, so I'll just leave him be for now.

I headed straight to my locker to place my books neatly so that I wouldn't need to suffer from back pain.  After I closed the locker, I felt a strong tight grip on my arm, that screams 'ouch.' I couldn't really see who it was since the hallway was as crowded as usual.

His uniform was untucked and his hair was messy and his socks were up till his ankle.

Not only I thought it was weird of him pulling me away, I thought that this was also a familiar scene.
