    "Okay. Checklist."

I unwillingly opened my bag prepared for what was next.

"Binder?" She called out.

"Check." I held it up as evidence of it's existence.

"Ruler." She barked out. I skillfully thrusted the contraption out in the air as a mock weapon.

She nodded her head in approval.

"Nice, nice. How about a pen?" She barked out the words hitting me in the face. I shoved the ruler back in my bag.

"Mom this is the third time we've been through your checklist." I complained loudly.

"Jade I want you to be prepared with all your supplies. Now pen?" She started the checklist again.

I stared at her unblinkingly.

She turned to stare right back unamused.

"Pen?" She stressed out.

I jerked around in the passenger seat.

"Mom... just unlock the door so I can go obtain a education."

She pointed a finger at me.

"Pen."

"Mom."

"Pen."

I proceeded to unbuckle my seatbelt, grabbing my things, and quickly erasing myself from this conversation.

Rapidly walking to the school entrance, I was bombarded by a crowd of fellow students. My Mom slowly driving away all the while yelling pen.

I threw myself inside to get away.

But became an exhibit in a museum.

Stares, whispers, gasps, fingers being pointed is what I experienced on my first day in a new school.

Well, it was a first.

I shuffle my way to the main office to get my schedule. I walked up to the secretary, and watched her in amazement as her finger gliding expertly across the keyboard.

She looked up and awkwardly stared at me.

Raising an eyebrow in confusion I place a smile on my face.

"Excuse me but I'm new here and I need my schedule." After supplying this information the secretary quickly bust into action.

"What's your name sweetie?" She asked while leaning over a file cabinet.

"Jade Aiken." The secretary quickly runs her hands threw the papers before finally landing on one and pulling a piece of paper out.

"Here's your schedule. Enjoy your day." I grab the schedule and thank her in return. But for some reason she still stared at me.

Feeling uneasy I quick  left the office in search for my first class.

A.P Biology with Mrs.Finch.
