*beep* *beep* *beep*

The sound of my alarm kept going off in my ears. I groaned and did not want to wake up. It was my first day at a new school in stupid Florida. I was terrified.

"Alexis! Wake up or you'll be walking to school!" My mom shouted. I smacked my hand on my phone to make the noise stop, and I rolled over onto the floor and groaned some more.

After finally having the energy to get up, I stood on my feet and walked to the bathroom, looking at myself in the mirror. "Wow my hair is a mess" I whispered. When I'm finally done straightening my hair, I go back to my room and put on a pair of black high-waisted ripped skinny jeans, and a maroon colored sweater with a pair of Adidas. For makeup, I didn't do much, just some concealer, and mascara. Don't want to lead anybody on now do we?

My mom greets me downstairs and hands me a box. "I know it's a little early, but your father and I are going to be out of town for your birthday weekend due to work, so we've decided to celebrate today." I look at her with a smile and open the box. A brand new iPhone. "Thank you, mom! I can finally stalk everyone. I mean... talk to my old friends." We laugh and head to the kitchen for a quick breakfast.

I got out of my mom's car and stare at the giant school in front of me. "Have a good day sweetie!" My mom calls out before driving away. Everyone seems to be heading to the same area so I just start following them, and assume it's for our schedules and books.

My first class is math, which I assume will be pretty easy since I aced my previous classes. "Jenna!" The teacher announced. "Here!" She called out every students name before mine and finally said my name "Roxella?" I raise my hand and say "please call me Roxy" a few students snicker behind me. "Yeah, I don't do nicknames miss Roxella. But you're new so I would like you to stand and introduce yourself with a few facts" she says in a rude tone. I've never been the one to freak out when standing in from of the class but something was different here. "Um... I'm Roxella Johnson, I'm originally from California, I'm sixteen about to be seventeen in a few weeks, and I play tennis" I smile at the teacher and sit down. One of the girls behind me says "Maybe you should go to the gym too" she snickers along with some of the girls around her. "That's enough Clara"

The rest of the day was alright, apparently, people don't like me that much and I've been getting called a lot of negative things including; fatso, whale, Cali fatty, and many more. I never thought I was fat or ugly, but now that everyone has pointed it out to me, I guess I am a bit bigger than a lot of the girls here.

After getting home my mom asks me if I want pizza "um no thanks, I think I'm gonna go on a diet." My mom laughed a little and picked up the phone while I headed to my room to look up diets.
