The ups and downs

The push

*pov of Daisy*
High school. It both scared me and gave me excitement. I moved from California to a small town in New Hampshire, here everything would be different. I would make friends and maybe get a boyfriend. In my old school everyone would make fun of me, so we had to move. Well that and my abusive asshole of a father. But this is a new beginning for me and my mother.
------the first day of school-------
"WAKE UP DAISY YOU DONT WANT TO BE LATE!" My mother shouted shaking me from my sleep. I woke up groggy but a bit of excitement arose in me as I realized it was time to start my new high school. I looked over and the clock read 7:00."shit" I mumbled and jumped out of the bed to get in the shower. I threw on clothes and put on some makeup, nothing too much just some eyeliner and mascara with a bit of foundation. I sprinted down the stairs "Have some toast honey you don't want to be hungry during the day. Also do you have lunch money?" My mother said reaching into her wallet and pushing a piece of slightly burnt toast my way. "I'm not hungry but I do need some money, thanks mom." I said flashing a quick smile and went out the door. We only lived about a 15 minute walk from the school which was helpful. I threw in my earbuds putting on a bring me the horizon song and took a deep breath. I will be okay. No one is ever mean to the new girl. I tried to convince myself I will be fine but the nerves gnawed at me.

Once I got inside I took off my earbuds and looked for the office. After finding it I looked at the receptionist," Hi I'm new here and I, um, don't know where to go." I smiled and she said "Oh! You must be Daisy! Yes we have a student who will show you around, her name is Mary and she is one of our best students." Suddenly a girl who looked my height with long brown curly hair appeared," Hey Daisy we are excited to have you here!" Mary said with a kind smile. I smiled back. We walked out and she asked "Which class do you have first?" "Um chorus." "Me too! Perfect Miss. Baxter is so nice and her class is an easy A." She said enthusiastically. "Oh that's good." I spit out, we walked the rest of the way in silence. Once arriving Mary went to her friends and I was left there to stand in the front awkwardly. A kind blonde boy smiled at me and approached me, "Hey I'm Andrew" "I'm Daisy, nice to meet you" the bell to signal first period rung. He looked at me and frowned "Well I guess I'll see you around" and he walked to his seat. The teacher came in and scurried over to me" Hello Daisy!" She looked around the class"Hello class, this is Daisy and she's new here so be nice!" She giggled. " Daisy I'm going to put next to Mary and Chris, they are both nice and will help you out, okay?" I looked over to the empty seat "Okay." I murmured and walked to the seat and sat down. "Okay class as you all know auditions for the duet are at the end of the week and I expect everyone to try out, even you Daisy." She said winking at me. What an audition? She expects me to do? What was the lady thinking? "You get to sing any song to audition that you want, just keep it appropriate boys." The class chuckled. "Um Miss. Baxter can I do Candy Shop?" Asked a boy with dark brown hair and innocent looking brown eyes. "No Oliver!" She half yelled rolling her eyes, all the boys laughed. This was going to be interesting.
-----skip to lunch-----
I walked to the cafeteria, so far everyone was nice to me in school. But I have no one to sit with at lunch. I walked to the lunch line and scanned the cafeteria for a friend I made, like Mary or a girl I met in Biology named Grace. But there was no one. I looked at what there was and everything had meat in it, i guess In the east coast there wasn't as many vegetarians or vegans. I saw a salad bar which brightened my mood, but all it had was lettuce and tomatoes. This'll do I guess. I filled my plate with lettuce and tomatoes and grabbed some grapes. As I started to look for a table to sit at the Oliver boy from chorus waved me over to his table "Hey flower girl join us!" He exclaimed and smirked at me. I walked over and sat down, "It's Daisy." I said blushing, "I know but I like flower girl better" he said smiling and taking a bite out of his sandwich. I smirked and shook my head. "By the way this is Mark," a boy I recognized from Math who had the amazing blue eyes," Chris, Elizabeth, they are dating btw, and this is Melanie." Melanie had on a bring me the horizon shirt and I couldn't help but say " Oh I love bring me the horizon." Melanie smiled and said "What's your favorite song?" I thought about it and said "At the moment it has to be Deathbeds." She looked giddy " That's mine too!! But I also love Don't go, even though it's like extremely sad." "I like that song too, but I honestly like all of there songs." We both laughed. Oliver rolled his eyes, "Calm down ladies it's just a band, i expected better from you flower girl" he joked shaking his head. Melanie and I roared In laughter. "Sorry to ruin your expectations Oliver. But did you know the lead singer is named Oliver too?" I said smiling. "Dang I guess you blew my cover, I'm Oliver Sykes from Bring me the horizon guys" he then attempted to sing and Mark exclaimed"Oh God not this again!" Everyone laughed at the table. A boy who appeared to be six feet tall joined us at the table, he had messy dark brown hair and brown eyes one could stare into for ages. He spoke, "Who is she?" Oliver put his arm around me "This here is flower girl." I elbowed him "But she prefers Daisy." He rolled his eyes. The brown eyed boy spoke "Hey Daisy, I'm Matthew." He put his hand out and I shook it. I felt butterflies when he said my name. I don't know what was happening. But I think, I like this Matthew. Oh no.
----skip to last period----
I walked In to Spanish class and saw Chris who gave a wave, to which I smiled back at. I wondered to the teacher's desk, "Hi I'm" "Daisy!" She interrupted me. "I'm Señora Romero. Welcome to my class, now where do I put you." She scanned the room. "Ah I'll put you next to Ariel and James." She pointed and I walked over and sat down between the two. Ariel smiled but James just stared at me blankly with some anger. As the lesson began James continued to stare it creeped me out but I just mumbled "Hey?" He scoffed at me "You're disgusting." I felt the color draining from my face. "T-that's not nice to say." I stuttered. He snorted. With that the bell rang. I grabbed my things and suddenly James shoved me into the desk causing me to drop all of my things. I looked up at him and he smiled and left the room. "Fuck you too then." I whispered.
