I woke up to my alarm blaring and smacked my hand on top of it, pressing snooze. I threw the sheets over my head not wanting the school day to start. I got up slowly from my bed, looking over at my alarm to see the time 6:00am. I quickly walked over to my closet picking out the first thing I find.
I hear my mom yell my name from downstairs saying, "SAPPHIRE, come done for breakfast"
As I walked down the stairs I see my mom standing in the kitchen, and the smell of delicious pancakes hits me. I walk over to her, taking a plate, and picking 3 directly out of the pan. My mom looks up at me as if I have 3 heads, then shaking her head and going back to what she was doing.
I quickly ate my breakfast, knowing that if I didn't hurry up I would be late to school. After I had finished I ran up the stairs and put my hair in a quick bun, not even bothering to take a shower. I then threw my clothes on and only bothered to put on mascara.
I ran down the stairs almost tripping over my feet, grabbing my backpack which was in the stairs on the way down. As I hurried out the door I waved to my mom and said goodbye.

Since I just turned 16 I didn't have my driver license yet, which meant I had to take the bus. It was so cold out I could see my breath in front  of me. As I stood there shivering, my friend Rose ran up to me waving frantically, I laughed hysterically and waved back, which received many dirty looks. How I hate this bus.
I knew today was going to be bad, just from the fact that I woke up late, but I tried to stay positive and talk to Rose.

When the bus pulled up in front of the school I saw Mia standing on the sidewalk and me and Rose ran over to her. Somebody passed us, waving at Mia, Rose, and me. They both waved back but all I did was just stand there. I wasn't really the social type, of course I would goof around with my friends and be social with them, but nobody else.

We walked into the school and my mood went to grumpy to mad, I honestly just want this day to be over, and it hasn't even started. As I walked to my first class I hear my name being called over the loud speaker, telling me to report to the office. My face turned bright red and everybody looked my way. Bad thoughts and questions started to fill my head thinking of what I could have possibly done, I've only been in school for 5 minutes.
When I got to the office I walked up to the secretary and told her my name. She looked up over her glasses as she pointed to Mrs. Mel's office, our principal's, door wide open. When I walked in I saw her at her desk, focusing on, what I am guessing was paper work. She heard me come up and looked up at me, smiling sweetly, which put me at ease, a little bit.
Mrs. Mel pointed her finger at the chair in front of her desk and said, "Sit please"
I sat down, fiddling with my fingers nervously as she looked at me, as if she was thinking of what to say.
Just as I was about to speak up she said, "so your probably wondering why I called you down here"
I mentally rolled my eyes as I responded saying, "yes"
She spoke calmly, "Don't worry you're not in trouble, we have 2 new students coming today and I was just making sure if you could show the two boys around?"
Boys? They? Their probably just as self centered and selfish as all the other boys here.
I hear the office doors open and my jaw drops when I see almost identical looking boys standing next to each other.
My eyes immediately go to the one standing to the right of me. He has hazel - brown eyes that anybody could get lost in. His hair is a darkish brown and he seems to be shorter than the other one.
I am barely able to speak, but somehow get out the words, "Hi, I'm Sapphire"
They both grin and I seem a little bit more uncomfortable.
The shorter one says "hi, I am Ethan, and this is Grayson," he says pointing to the left of him.
"Hey" I nervously squeak out, once again.
The principles voice makes me jump when she says, "Sapphire, I would like you to show them around and make them feel comfortable"
I give the principle a slight nod and turn my attention back to them.
I say, a little bit more confident than last time, "here, follow me"
We walk through the hallways, and I am glad that others have class, I really don't feel like explaining anything to anybody right now. The two follow behind me silently until I decide to break the silence.
I turn around abruptly and look at them and say,  "so... where did you guys move from?"
They glance at each nervously and then Ethan speaks, saying, "we wanted a fresh start"
I nod quickly and turn back around, taking a deep breath.
That was awkward.
