"Class! Please, settle down!" The teacher yells on top of her lungs. The sound of her voice bounces off the walls of the room and barely startles any of the rebellious students. 

I finally left my family back at home. It was not that quite hard to say goodbye to them. I think this is the time where I needed a break from them. Too much shit happens at home. This school could just be an escape from all the shit at home. 

It's approximately twenty minutes into class time and all i've learnt is how the teacher infuriates when students become ignorant. 

I sit at my desk, silently. While all the other students muck about. 

I sigh in frustration. 

When are they going to stop? 

Paper planes are flying everywhere, jocks tackling each other on desks and couples making out. 

Is this what it's like everyday?

It's only the first day and this is the first impression of the school? Okay, God help me. 

This is the last period of today. After this, i'm off to my dorm. I'm not really sure who my roommates are yet. Hopefully, they're not as bad as this. I can't stand this type of behaviour. It's a nuisance and nothing but disturbing. 

I watch the teacher walk back and forth, while vexation builds up and becomes noticable in her facial expressions. 

What should I do? Just sit here. 

I dont want to be involved into a fight on my first day, nor do I want to make any trouble. 

The people here are much more different than they are back home. I never wanted to move schools, though. I was forced to. 

There's a difference between wanting to and being forced to. 

Apparently, my mother was promoted a job. I know, a job almost on the other side of the world? But, my family is struggling, financially. It took us awhile to negotiate whether my mum should take the opportunity or not. But, it looked like a great idea - says my step-father. For me, not quite the best option but this, isn't about me. This is all about my family. 

I had to abondon my friendships. Probably the best friendships i'll ever make for the remainder of my life. I had three best friends at my previous school, they were all so nice and more comfortable to hang around with. They were like my three little rocks. I never thought we'd come to an end. So far,  it seems that I will struggle making any friendships here in 'Kingsley Secondary Education' . Everyone dresses fashionable in their own unique way. It's weird for me, i'm not quite used to it. But, it's probably like second nature to them.

The girls at this college, are also another reason why I shouldn't even be here. I'm so different than everyone else. It's petrifying. They're like sticks and i'm like... little miss chicken wings. 

The boys, nearly all of them are jocks or they play some time of sport. There is also a specific group, where varsity jackets are their 'thing'. You know those groups that throw footballs around and make retarded noises in class? Yeah those kind of groups. 

I'm not really a type of girl who'd fancy anyone, really, or even if it was the opposite. Wait, the oppositve would never happen. No guy would fancy me, not even a living creature would. I'm simply, ridiculously  pathetic.

I'm not complaining though. I understand why no one would fancy me. Like, I look at myself and then I look at the girls in my class. It's like comparing a rotten banana with a unicorn. I've got nothing on them.
