I turn off my alarm clock as I lazily fall off my bed. I always like the sounds of morning, it's relaxing really. It's one of the few good things about living. However I woke up even earlier than I normally would. As today was a special day, well at least to Winter.. Today was my first day back to school. I haven't been to school in 3 years. It felt a little nostalgic waking up so early. Back then I would always wake up to the smell of mom's lovely pancakes. Every time I would sit at the table to eat them, mom would always give me a kiss on the cheek. And when I was finally going out the door she would always yell out " Have fun at school Angela ! I love you ! " . I didn't mind it at first, but then it would always get annoying to the point that I would yell at mom for it. Sometimes I feel guilty about it, but then again she's dead along with dad so it doesn't really matter.
But today was the last day of February. And I haven't seen Winter at all. But why would I care she's always been a pain in the ass. But now it was time to go. I took the bus to school and then the train. I live very far away from the nearest city so it took a while to get the train station. It wasn't very cramped or tight. I was surprised really. Usually it would always be tight. But then I looked at my watch.
Shit...
I was 2 hours late for school.. Well there's no turning back now. Once the train gets to my stop I run as fast I can to school ! At this point it might already be 2nd block ! I'm so screwed !! Now I kinda wish Winter would teleport me there ! But I end up getting to school, obviously late of course. But I get to class anyways. Well 2nd block class at least...
KNOCK-KNOCK
I enter the room.
Angela : " Um...Hi ? "
My heart beats so loudly that the teacher or my classmates might hear it beating.
Teacher : " Are you Angela Simmons ? "
Angela : " Y-yes ma'am. "
Im even more nervous and embarrassed. As all the students look at me in suprise and in curiosity.
Teacher : " Hello Angela. My name is Ms Jet. Will you introduce yourself to the class ? "
Now this was the moment I was scared for. What should I say ?! What should I do !? I don't want these pitiful children to think I'm weird !
Angela : " Um..Hello. My name is Angela Simmons and I live in the forest and- "
I pause when I hear a few giggles from some girls wearing a lot of make up and some other crap. I avoid giving them a glare.
Angela : " I live in the forest in a house and it's quite nice really, as I get to see some foxes, rabbits, sometimes mountain lions, and many more. "
Everyone but this boy in the back looks up at me with interest, as many of their hands raise up high into the air.
" Do you get to see wolves ? "
" Is the forest scary ? "
" How long have you been living in the forest ? "
I answer all the questions one by one until Ms Jet silences the class down.
Ms Jet : " All right class ! Angela needs to find a spot to sit down, and while I get her prepared for work, you all have an assignment due in 13 days so you all start finishing it ! "
Everyone starts writing on their papers, while Ms Jet finds a place for me to sit.
Ms Jet : " Angela how bout you sit next to Darek over there in the back. "
Its same boy that didn't look up at me while was talking earlier. He reminds me of this boy I used to know back then in middle school.
Angela : " Hello. "
Derek : ".....Hi.."
His voice is muffled that I can barely hear it.
Angela : " Um..sorry but..what did you say ? "
He stands up from his chair, with his sleeve covering his mouth.
