What a way to begin the first day. I wake up late and I'm rushing to do everything. Stiles had already left to go, which is completely understandable but he could of at least woke me up. I'm all packed and ready to sprint my way to the school. Not that I actually know where the school was or anything and Dad doesn't seem to be home. Perfect. Great way to make a first impression. Quickly dashing out of the house, almost completely forgetting to lock the door, I begin running a random way. I run past a couple of stores that were already open for business for all the elderly people who liked to get all their shopping done before all the 'young' people decide to do theirs. I can't believe I actually slept in... again. It feels like every time I need to start a new school my body doesn't want to and decides that the first impression needs to be a bad one. I remember for the first day of elementary school and middle school I was late, even the my first high school I was late. I almost gave up on finding the school until i found an empty parking lot where buses were meant to be hovering and cars were parked. 

I sighed with relief and ran inside, heading towards the administration office. Awkwardly introducing myself to the lady, she gets a man from one of the bigger offices  to greet me."Hello Miss Burkhardt, I'm am the principal of the school. May I say that you are a little bit late, I assume this doesn't always happen" Of course. The most obvious statement was about my lateness. Sometimes do teachers forget how it feels to be a teenager or were they all dramatically tortured as teenagers that they need to make sure that other teenagers feel even worse than they did? Or maybe he just like people to be on time. I apologised for my lateness and assure him that it won't happen again. He explains to me all of the classes I have and where most of the rooms are as well as explaining some of the expectations that the school has towards it's students. I got not even half of the information that came out of his mouth but i tried to keep up. One of the good things was he wasn't wesen. At least i don't think he is... because if so that would make a lot of things very difficult for me. Finally ending up at my destination of English, the principal had to make a formal announcement to everyone that my arrival was here. He introduced me to the class as 'Kassandra Burkhardt' which was probably one of the most embarrassing things that could of ever been done to me. I heard a few snickers and a lot of whispers. "Welcome to the class Kassandra, have a seat". The only seat avliable was the one right in front of the teacher's desk. My most hated subject along with the most hated spot. This probably couldn't get any worse. 

"Class, take out your novels and work books and summarise what chapter 3 was about"

Once again, I was wrong. I did not come prepared, the most of equipment I actually brought was a pen and I don't even think that it's a good one. I looked to the girl on the right hand side of me and asked if I could borrow some paper. She smiled and lent me some, I would of asked to have shared her book but I already asked for some of the paper and I think that was enough. I awkwardly throw my hand up to let this teacher know that because I am new I was not informed that we needed to have any sort of novel. The best part was she didn't even name the novel. "Oh I see, well you can share with Monique over here" She gestured to the girl on the left hand side. Shyly looking up she looked at me and gestured her book towards me. I shift my chair over to get closer to her. "Hey, I'm Kass"

"I know, now please just do your work" Monique snapped at me

Shocked by the rude attitude I just sat there. I didn't even put pen to paper to write on the nice girls lent paper for work, instead I doodled random images. Often I draw wesen that I like and some that I don't but most of the time I'm drawing the bad and scary ones because they're the ones that visit me in my sleep. I try not to get freaked out by them but sometimes you just do. It could never be as bad as when I first found out I was a Grimm though. It wasn't traumatic or a dangerous situation, it's just scary being told that you can see what most regular people can't and then you're expected to keep these creatures in control of what they do to humans. I was only nine when they told me that. I'm sixteen now and I still don't even know if I'm doing a good job or not. I have had a few encounters that did happen to require me to kill them but I always had my dad's help to dispose of the body and get rid of the evidence. The first wesen I killed was when I first started  out and it's my most hated one of all. A Spinnetod. It was the most scariest thing that I have had to in my life.

Looking over at the girl next to me, she had already written two pages of work just on one chapter. I was quite surprised and impressed at the same time. Getting to her half page she starts to slow down and then comes to a stop. Monique begins hitting her head. As if she is trying to get her idead out into the air. Frustration was filling up her face and soon enough she woge. Crap. I tried to look away as quick as possible but I couldn't. Our eyes had only met for just one moment and that was the moment that set it off, just like that she screams and freaks out. "GET AWAY FROM ME!" Monique yells 

I didn't know what to say. I couldn't tell her to not be afraid, people would question why she would be afraid of me. Instead I sat there and acted as if i had no idea what she was going on about. She then ran out of the classroom and instantly I was interviewed in what had happened. I told her that I was doing my work then all of sudden she had that outburst and I don't know why. The teacher seemed to believe, considering she told me that she does know that Monique puts unnecessary pressure on herself because she thinks that her work isn't good enough. This is what I had been worried about. I was never worried about the new school or anything like that. I was worried about introducing something that could possible distraught this town and the wesen that are here. The bell went for second period in which i didn't particularly want to go to.  Could this day be any worse?

Finally, lunch is here and the last three periods weren't too bad at all. Although I didn't really talk to anyone or did that much. I still tried to participate as much as I could for the new girl. I entered the cafeteria looking for Stiles and just my luck, I found him sitting with all of his friends that he was walking with Yesterday afternoon.  I stride over there and take a seat next to Stiles and the cute creepy guy. The creepy guy smiled at me. I shyly smiled back. "Alright, introduction time! Everyone this is Kass" 

I wave to them and they all greet me. The guy that was next to me was name Isaac, the girl next to him, her name was Lydia. Last of all the boy with the big brown eyes was named Scott. In those big brown eyes there was something there that I could see. Not an emotion or a disease but something that wouldn't usually be in a regular humans eye. I let go though. They were all eating and talking while i sat there listening. I didn't mind, I loved listening to people, it made me feel wanted. Moments later someone comes running to our table. Another girl, she was Japanese and gorgeous. She quickly filled in on something that happened first period. It just so happen to be the situation that I was caught up in. "Yeah, she said it had something to do with a new girl"

Instantly they all looked to me. Oh god. I didn't want them to hate me because some wesen lost her shit because I was Grimm. I told them exactly what I told the teacher, they seemed to believe me except for Scott. It was something about the way his eyes seem to be so bright and big. I know for sure that it's not nine in the afternoon. Soon the girl got introduced to me as Kira. She questioned if that really happened, due to the fact that Monique seemed a lot more shook up that what i made it to sound. "Well, that's what happened and I don't know why she reacted like that" I lied through my teeth. We continued on with lunch, trying not to talk about that situation. "Oh hey, sorry for leaving you this morning" Stiles apologised 

"That's alright, I found my way here" 

"Do you want a lift back home?" Stiles asked 

"Nah... I think I'll just walk, I need to know the area a bit more" 

"Well, you can't walk alone, I'll escort you" Isaac said kindly 

"Please stop hitting on the new girl, Instantly a new pretty girl and you want to be all over her" Lydia stepped in. I couldn't help but blush and laugh. I adored how Lydia was so open with her mind and what she thought. I was also flattered when she called me pretty considering that she is beautiful herself. I took up Isaac's offer of walking me home, only so I know where to go. Five more minutes left of lunch. I checked the last two subjects i had and asked Stiles where the room was. He told me he had a free period so he would take me there. We began walking to the room. Things were weird as we were walking. As if he suspected something. He probably still hasn't forgotten. I'm trying to but everything seems to keep reminding me. Once again Stiles asks me if I was sure that's what happened exactly. I couldn't express any more precisely, despise the fact that I was lying, but you learn to lie well as a Grimm. The bell went and i entered the classroom. Two more periods and I'm out, but I will have to relive it all again tomorrow.
