Night falls, as I enter my room. I quickly give my hand a wave, and the lights illuminate (Swag feature). I dress into PJs and plop into my bunk. I grab the mini basketball, take a shot, nail it, and then it's lights out for me. My last thought before I fall asleep is Mrs. Tootisky.
I wake up, but realize I've got an hour to sleep in. Crap! No use now, I'm wide awake. I launch myself up, out if my bunk and grab the doorknob. I dress, and clean myself up. And head downstairs. As i descend, I notice sunlight streaming through the windows. Another beautiful day. After devouring a hearty breakfast, I trap my pack, hug my parents, and venture outside. I glance at my watch. I still got 20 minutes. Why not shoot hoops. I lay my pack down and Sprint to the bucket. A grab a basketball and shoot around. I'm dead on baby, almost nailing every shot I commited. I notice the bus pull up, and as I board, I notice many youthful staring at me in awe. I raise my eyebrows. I know I do have swag! I sit myself down, and we continue our uneventful (that's why I'm not writing about it) bus ride.
As we arrive at Brookview, I manage to locate Kyle. As I unboard the bus, I find Kyle waving frantically at me. I beam back, but wince at the state of the mouth. I groan, it's painful. As we walk together up the steps I notice a few posters, posted to warn us about the upcoming Neon?! dance. Oh Lord, a dance when I have no one one to go with! I'm going to have to get someone by tommorrow. Geez! Stop hyperventilating! I tell myself. You're gonna be fine! Oh I take deep breaths. I'm going to need to talk to Kyle, he's been here a lot longer than I have. I then divert all attention to my morning studies, I'll have to talk to Kyle at lunch.
At lunch, we both converse about school (mainly the dance).
"Who are you going with to the dance?, " he asks, oh it's the dreaded question! I freak.
"Haven't figured out," I mumble. He nods.
"I'll find you someone," he says.
I nod, then knowing he is serious my eyes widen. He really is going to help me!
