What he didn't know killed me.

New girl

Lizzy's POV

Beep! Beep! Beep!
My eyes opened instantly to the sound of my chirping alarm. I pulled my phone up to my eyes as I brushed aside a few strands of hair away from my face. 21 January, 6:30, was what my screen showed me. It definitely was no more a dream. The dreaded day had finally arrived as my heart pounded in my chest reminding me that not matter how hard I tried I could not get out of this situation so easily.

Unlike any other normal teenager who would have lunged out of bed eagerly awaiting the first day of school I reluctantly made my way to the new bathroom. Today was the first day of school, the first day of my new high school.

We moved to California shortly after my dad got a new job. It was better pay and less hours in comparison to the lengthy hard worked hours that took way not only his time but also took him away from us. I felt sorry for my dad, ever since our mom got remarried it seemed that he did so too but to something that could never hurt him again, his work. I shook the thought of my mom out of my mind as I realized that my fists had tightened at the thought of her. I let out a breath of air and took in a fresh one. Nothing was going to get the better of me today....not even my mom.

I put on a pair of jeans and a salmon pink tank top along with my favorite black leather jacket. I let my hair fall down into loose curls that framed my face perfectly. I took a look in the mirror and was happy with what I saw.

I made my way down stairs to the table were my dad had cooked up a delicious breakfast for us. The things he had to learn because of her.

"Morning dad." I rushed to my father giving him a hug as I placed a kiss on his cheek. "Good morning pumpkin." He said kissing my forehead. "Ready for school?" His eyes full of concern. "Ready as I'll ever be." I started with a shrug.

I sat down to a tasty breakfast of bacon, eggs,toast and my special favorite that my dad always made just for me, onion rings. Just as I took a bite of my toast I was greeted by a very messy-haired teenager my age. "Morning Liz", my brothers eyes sparkled as he took in the different aromas around him. "Morning Miguel" I said messing up his already messy hair. "Ugh, WHAT ARE YOU DOING CRAZY LADY!!!" He shrieked are his slapped my hands away from his hair and tried to comb it back into place with his hands making his hair look worse.

I went into a fit of giggles as I watched my brother try and calm the huge mess on his head, giving me glares are he ran his hands through his hair. "Your hair was already so untidy, what are you complaining about." My laughter slowly dying down. " it is the look that gets the girls," he said with a smirk "but now you have just ruined it."

"With that hair style you won't even get a monkey to look at you." My laughter returning. " come on we're going to be late for school."

************************

All the nervousness that had disappeared during breakfast had slowly returned are it has hit me that I was in the principals office, waiting to meet him. The office had old furniture yet it was well kept. A long desk sat in the middle and filing cupboards in the two corners , on either side of the window. The office was one that looked like it came straight out of those high school movies where the principal was strict,old and cranky.

My train of thought was soon interrupted when I was greeted by a middle aged man with big round spectacles that covered not only his eyes but eyebrows too. He gave me a warm smile and stuck out his right hand towards me.

"Miss Rodgers I presume?"

To afraid to speak and make a fool of myself I stuck out my hand and shook his, smiling as I nodded. My hands were sweating and once he had let go of my hand he rubbed his on the bottom of his formal pants trying not to make it to obvious as he did this.

Good going Lizzy,good going.

"I am Mr Thompson the principal of Yellow Wood High." His face beaming with pride. "Your home room is number 60, here is your timetable, I hope you enjoy your time at this school."

With that I was out of the office and started to walk down the hallway. I looking down at my timetable as I walked.
