Open Arms

(3) Blythe Academy

Unedited

I rolled over in my bed and looked at my clock to say 6:15 am! Oh no I slept all day yesterday and my mom still hadn't told me what school I was going to. All she had said was that it started tomorrow or today for that matter. I hurriedly got up and shot into the bathroom, but as I was walk-running through my closet I saw a black and blue uniform. It had a black and white plaid skirt and a blue sweater that said Blythe Academy on the top left corner of the sweater.

The was a note attached to it that read

Hey sorry, I didn't wake you, there's breakfast on the table and a car waiting for you to take you to school, there will be someone else in the car I hope you guys can get to know each other. School starts at 7:30. Talk to you later.

- Mom

Hhm that's weird I wonder who's she's talking about?

I take the uniform and quickly take a shower and brush my teeth. I go and put on the uniform and I'm surprised at how well it fit me. Skirts typically didn't look right on me and my mother must have a really good eye cause I don't remember telling her my size.

After I get dressed a leave my hair in its natural form. Slight beach waves and put on a little mascara.

I hurried down the stairs and got what my mom called breakfast- a carton of orange juice and bagels. I grabbed it and went downstairs and got in an all black SUV that was waiting for me. When I got in the car it pulled away from the curb and began driving to my new high school.

As soon as I got in the car saw a girl that looked a lot like James. She had dirty blonde hair that was pulled up into a really classy looking messy bun, that had pieces of hair that fell around here soft looking face in waves. She looked extremely innocent with greyish blue doe eyes and adorable facial features.

"Umm, hi, I'm Isabella Jones, but you can call me Issy," I stated while outstretching my hand towards hers.

All she did was look at my hand like I was crazy.

"Oh heyyyyyy," she said slowly looking me up and down as if I were an alien.

"You must be Annabell's daughter," she pauses looking at me funny again. "I've heard so much about you. I'm Victoria."

"Oh have you?" I've never heard of you before." i8 said very curiously as to how she knew my name and who I was and I had just met her.

"Oh of course," she mumbled so quietly I almost didn't hear. " My parents, our parents must have forgotten to tell you that I'm your step sister."

"You shouldn't be mad at my parents, I mean our parents," I said slowly adjusting to having a sibling. "I'm pretty sure that they were planning on telling me over dinner but the jet lag got the best of me, yeah so that's my fault for not knowing about you, or whatever," I said.

Just as Victoria opened her mouth to say something else the car came to a stop and the driver told us to get out.

We stepped out the car and this grand building that looks old but also had new aspects to it.

The academy had few of students wandering about the campus.

"Wow," I said looking around at the large campus in front of,  which was confusing since you'd think everything in New York was small. Seeing this campus made me think otherwise.

I was still looking around when I saw Victoria walking briskly towards the larger building on the campus. I had to run to catch up to her quick walk. Once I did we walked in the school and went to the office. We passed a couple boys but none of them caught my eye.
