Adopted By Taylor Swift

Chapter Eight - Welcome to high school

I wish all teenagers can filter through songs instead of turning to drugs and alcohol.
  - Taylor Swift

Evelyn's POV

Taylor wanted to send me off today because it is my very first day going to high school. Even if she galloped through the work but she still trying to spend a little bit time for me. As a daughter, I appreciate that.

"Are you ready?" She asks me firmly.

"Yes I am," I say calmly.

I took my bag and open the car door. Suddenly, she pulls my hand gently and look into my eyes. She kisses my forehead and says,"Have a nice day."

I look at her thoughtfully then says,"So are you." I get out of her car right away. I didn't expect that she has the attitude of a mother. She kissed my forehead and I have nothing to say. I was surprised.

She enrolled me to Hendersonville High School. She told me that she had studied here before. She actually did not graduate from high school or college with a degree. She started gaining notoriety towards the end of high school and decided she did not need the traditional school system education.

Never mind, she has succeeded and became a famous singer in the world. Now,this school is my future determinant. I take a deep breath and walk through the doors with my new vision. It is the morning of my very first day so I don't want to ruin it.

"Class, today we got a new friend," Mr Ethan introducing me to all the students in the class.

"Hi, I'm Evelyn Jane," I say with an appealing smile.

"You can take your seat," Mr Ethan says.

I sit next to a blonde named Sofia. She had just moved to Nashville two days ago. She is merely a new student here. Sofia is a friendly and cheerful person. She is a huge fan of Selena Gomez. She told me that Selena had to drink olive oil to keep her voice steady and catch people's attention when they heard her songs.

"Is that true?!" I ask her unbelievably.

"Yes." She said placidly.

Selena drinks olive oil? I need to ask Taylor.

"Please pay attention in class." Mr Ethan rebukes us. Even if he was known as a strict teacher, but he is good at getting the subject across to the students which is really important because Maths is one of the popular subject and full of tricky questions.

Recess Time

I tried to make friends with the students but they were all looking at me like a stranger and not even asking me if I was new here. I eat my meal with Sofia in the midst of the school canteen. Yes, just two of us. Suddenly, there's a guy approaching us. He take a seat next to me.

He smirks and say, "Hey beautiful, I never see you around before."

I give him the cold shoulder and make an eye contact with Sofia telling her, let's go. We quickly left the guy. High school is the place where students can get new knowledge about something and having a lot of friends. Nowadays, they can socialize through the internet instead of talking face to face. But when it comes to flirting, they will do unexpected things like 'that guy' just did.

On our way to the class, we accidentally bumped into a group of school cheerleaders. One of them is staring at me and smirk. Probably looking down on me. They think they were cool enough but the truth is they were the worst when it comes to education. They just care about appearance and gossiping about celebrities all day long.

Out of the blue, someone whispering to my ear and told me that Mr Ethan wanted to see me right away. I made my way to his office and left Sofia in confusion.

I knocked on the door slowly and say, "May I come in?"

"Yes, Evelyn." He says and ask me to take a seat.

"I've something to ask." He says and open a student file. Probably mine.

"Are you just get adopted?" He asks, frowned.

"Um, yes. A week ago." I say softly.

We talked about my family background and Mr Ethan is the first person in the school who knows that I was adopted by Taylor Swift. He advised me to be careful cause when people know about my mother they will disturb me with a lot of things and questions till I cannot get down on my studies perfectly.

After that, I left his office and make my way to the school lab in a hurry.

After school

I opened my locker and arrange all my books inside it and then I asked Sofia to accompany me to the library cause I want to lend a few revision books. Unfortunately, Sofia had to go home in a rush. So, I went to the library alone.

Ms Emily going to pick me up after school today cause Taylor got a work to settle down. Ms Emily will be here in about 5 minutes. After lending books, I quickly make my way to the school hall.

I saw Ms Emily waiting for me outside the school gate. She recognize me, and gave me a wave. I approached her slowly and we went to the car right away.

"How's school?" She asks.

"Good. Everything's fine." I say.

"You hungry?" She asks and I nodded my head. I was starving actually.

"I'm dying for a burger." I say with a smile.

"Really? Let's go to..McDonald's!" She says and I was grinning from ear to ear.

There are 15,494 McDonald's restaurants in North America. Of these, there are 14,027 McDonald's restaurants in the U.S. where the company was founded in 1940. In the past three quarters of a century, McDonald's has grown from one restaurant to more than 37 thousand establishments across the globe.

Did you know that Rachel McAdams worked at McDonald's for three years? How cool is that. And I cannot stop thinking if I stand a chance to work at a restaurant or anywhere. It must be fun to have a lot of money at the young age.

"Are you okay, Evelyn?" Ms Emily asked as I looked pensive.

"Yes, I'm fine." I say and turn the radio on to cheer the vibes up.
