Not yours

New day

 Alexis! come on it's time to go! you have to leave for school!’ I roll out of bed not realizing how close to the edge I was and fall straight off. What a great way to start the day. Sighing I get up rubbing my head where I hit it. I'm so clumsy sometimes. Walking into my bathroom I look up to see my hair looking like a rats nest. Goodness can't i just wake up with it not being all over the place…

I hop in the shower doing my daily routine and washing my hair. Stepping out and wrapping a towel around myself. I walk over to my tiny closet and pull out and out a simple outfit. I sigh walking over to the mirror and brushing out my hair and letting it fall into loose waves, no make up I can't even put that stuff on right. I grab my backpack and my board and head down stairs putting on my Bennie.

‘Mornin ma’ I pass my mom putting my stuff by the door and heading to the kitchen to make some toast. ‘Morning hun, ready for your first day of school’ I roll my eyes at her cheeriness ‘Who is ever ready for their first day of school as a new student and to top it all off in the middle of the school year too’ she sighs ‘Come on, Alexis you said you would try and not make a big deal about this’ I look up at her ‘I know its just..’ ‘Just what?’ Right then to toaster pops, thank you food! ‘Never mind I gotta go, i'll see you when I get home.’ She smiles ‘Ok, have a good first day’ I put on my backpack grab my board and head to school.

Well if you didn't catch on my name is Alexis I'm 17 years old and a junior in high school.… I'm originally from California but moved to Washington -Not D.C. the state- just about two weeks ago. My life hasn't been too great for that past two months. My dad just died… I honestly don't know the whole story, I don't even think its the truth but my mom told me that he got into a car crash, not a little on either a really bad one. Died on impact….

After he died things went to hell…. My mom broke, couldn't even get up in the morning to go to work or pay the bills, so that left me to do everything. for about two months i was in charge of things, then my mom just snapped out of it and came back to me, and a week later we left California and now were here. I hate this place. Too many clouds, to many rainy days. I don't even know why she picked here.

I look up realizing i'm already at the school. I sigh, here we go. I kick up my board and head inside getting some whistles, stares and glares. oh well…. I walk into the office glad that I got that tour yesterday. I look at the front desk and see a men sitting there. Well that's new there's usually its girls who sit at the front desk.

I clear my throat and wait for the guy to notice me. He looks up and smiles ‘Hello how can I help you?’ ‘Umm, i'm new here and I need a schedule..’ He smiles bigger ‘Well then welcome to Jackson High! What's your first and last name?’ I give a small smile ‘Thanks and its Alexis Jacobs’ He turns back to his computer and types what I said in, then presses something and the printer starts going. Once its done he hands me a schedule. “Hope you have a good first day!’ I wave ‘Thank you and bye’ I walk out of the office and too locker 237, opening it to see its a great size to put my board in. I stuff in my board and some books. I shut my locker turning away and walking looking down at my schedule to see where my class is.

I'm not paying attention so when I run into someone I'm kinda surprised. ‘Hey! watch where the hell yo-’ I grab my binder before it falls ‘Sorry, but its not like I meant to, and you weren't paying attention either cause you ran into me also’ I scuff and roll my eyes pushing past him and on to my class still feeling his eyes on me.
