The Australian Girl

Welcome To McKinley High

My name is Emma Reynolds I'm 15 and in year 10. I'm from Melbourne, Australia but my dad recently got a job offer here in Lima,Ohio and decided to bring the whole family including my Mum my older brother Luke who will be a junior and my little sister Annabelle who will be in the 7th grade.

I'm starting at McKinley High so I guess that means I'm a sophomore. Anyway enough about my life lets get started on my first day at an American high school.

I was dreaming peacefully when suddenly my moronic older brother Luke decided it would be funny if he tipped a bucket of water on my head. "Oh my god Luke what did you do that for?" I said. "I thought I'd wake you up Mum's been calling you for 15 minutes,besides you don't wanna be late on your first day do you"? said Luke. "No I guess" I said. We both smelled something familiar. It was Mum's special cinnamon pancakes. "Ooo I smell pancakes, race you down stairs Eminem" said Luke.

Eminem is a nickname Luke gave me for as long as I can remember, I think he copied the idea from the rapper he listens to. You see I have a different taste in music than my brother. He likes all the new age hip hop stuff. Where I on the other hand can spends hours listening to country,classical, and ballads.

I walked down stairs to see my Dad reading the newspaper and my Mum cooking her special cinnamon pancakes. "Morning Emma" said my parents in unison. I sat down at the table as Mum placed a plate of cinnamon pancakes in front of a Luke and I with lots of maple syrup. "Here you go sweetie" said Mum. "So Emma, Luke are you guys excited about your first day at high school?" Said Dad. "Hell yes I heard McKinley has a football team called the 'Titans' and I'm gonna join, I've always wanted to play American football" said Luke. "Emma are you okay? You haven't said much and you've barely touched your pancakes" said Mum. "I'm just a little nervous that's all" I said. "Emma you should join the cheerleading team you'd be perfect you used to do gymnastics all the time" said Luke "Yeah maybe I'm not really sure yet" I said.

Just then we heard a bus horn outside our house. "Mum are we taking the bus?" Asked Luke. "Yes because I have to take Annabelle to school and your father has to go to work and neither of you have your licence so until then, you're both riding the bus" said Mum. So we both waved to our parents and off we went on the bus. Luke decided to ditch me on the bus and not sit with me like we planned so I was a but unsure where to sit. I didn't really want to sit next to the nerds or jocks, but I found an empty spot next to a shy girl with long brown hair and a funky hat.

"Mind if I sit here?" I asked the girl. "No not at all, my name's Marley" she replied as she reached her hand out for me to shake it. " I'm Emma I'm a transfer student from Australia" I said. "Nice to meet you Emma I'm a sophomore I'm guessing you are too?" "Yes I am" I replied.

We talked all the way to school about everything It turns out we have a lot in common. I guess I've already made 1 new friend.
I hopped off the bus with Marley and looked around the school. It seemed like the students and staff are very friendly, or so I hoped. "William McKinley High School here I am" I said to myself. And that's where my American high school life began.
