(Tamia's P.O.V)
I looked in the mirror as I straighten my black skirt. I wasn't one for anything that doesn't cover my calves but I was trying to make a good impression, plus I'm not gonna lie, my legs look pretty great.
Looking over to my phone I saw that the time was 6:00 am , fuck it's early, way to early I'm stressing out, and having a mini panic attack.
I tugged on the collar of my yellow turtle neck attempting to give myself some room to breathe mentally and physically.
Come on Tamia put your big girl pants on it's not that bad. It's my first day at Riverdale High from moving. I wanted to become a big shot lawyer but now that I'm in the small town my big city girl dreams would have to wait.
"Tamia!"My dad called from downstairs
"Are you awake?"
I attempted to flatten my puffy hair, I tried to straighten it but that's a lost cause.I spent all night trying to fix the mop that was graciously given to me when I was born just so I had to struggle everyday of my life. Ew, look at me sounding like a classic millennial.
I slowly walked down the stairs being careful to not slip down the new dark slippery steps.
I heard he sound of the loud Tv and undeniable scent of freshly ground coffee. I looked around the unfamiliar room but then seeing my dads familiar face.His eyes looked like he had gone through war and back, probably stressed out about the big move we had to make because of his job. I really wish I could make him feel better. Even if it's something small. "Mornin' Dad" I hugged tightly him inhaling his familiar scent of coffee and distress.
"Hey sugar"he replied ruffing my hair"Your dressed early aren't ya?"he questioned me turning back to grab his delectable cup of coffee
I turned towards the fruit bowl grabbing the nicest apple I could find in the bowl, ooo Granny Smiths my favourites."Yup, I guess it's the adrenaline"
"Your mom had to leave early so she can't tell you good bye, but just know that'll be alright kiddo"He pats my back reassuringly followed by a good ole' ruffle of the hair. Oh boy I'm gonna have too fix that.

I pushed the big doors to the main entrance of the high school, kids were zipping left and right trying to catch up with everyone over the summer break.
But of course I knew absolutely no one, therefore I had to be a social human before I ended up being a loner.
I walked to my locker which I specifically knew was mine because of our "mini-school day" where we got to meet our teachers and socialize, I made a few friends but I don't know if they remember me.
But they probably do because it was Betty...I think? whom helped me get off my arse when I fell of the climbing wall in summer school gym class; man that sucked.
Struggling to get the stupid code to my locker right I hear someone scream my name from across the hall.
"TAMIA!!"she hurls herself at me
Oop never mind guess I made a big impact?Im pretty impressed with both me and Betty. I don't scare her off. And she wasn't scared to talk to me. Way to go team Tetty!
"Hi Betty, energetic are we?"I accept her hug, awkwardly patting her back.Betty seemed liked the type of girl who would make a great vampire; As dorky as that sounds it's totally true. She would seduce them with her charm and happiness but then suck their blood as they regretfully fall into her trap. Scary, eh?
"Yes!I am so excited to start school!Especially to fill up my art portfolio....and talk to my special friend." Yeah, she strikes me for the creative type. She was beaming obviously proud of her accomplishment
