Chapter one
Today's the day! Today's the day! oh my gosh I'm so excited! my first day at my new school. but what should I wear? I take out a black skirt with a pink fancy shirt with my black flats. Well this will have to do.
"Katie, come on, I'm gonna have to get to work soon."
"okay mom, dang" I say as I grab my bag.
what will this school be like? beautiful, with tall walls made of beautiful brick, and colorful pictures covering all the walls. that would be a dream. but what if it's not? what if it's trashed, with the walls spray painted, saying who knows what. oh, I would hate that, I would probably make my mom move and change schools. what am I thinking, mom would never do that, she's umm.. her.
"Katie?"
I look up quickly, I didn't even know I was still walking to the kitchen.
"sorry" I say calmly.
"are you excited for your first day of school?" my mom says as she grabs the milk out of the fridge.
"umm.. I guess, I just hope I like it here" I say as I play with my eggs and hash browns.
"honey, if you don't want to eat your food, just tell me. and since you don't want to eat, why don't you get your things and meet me in the car."
"okay, sorry" I get up and push in my chair, grab my bag and head out the door.
when I get in the front seat I start thinking again, what if I can't find friends? what if I get bullied? what if I don't fit in? what if I get teased for not having a car in the 11th grade because me nor my mom has money. and since my dad works basically 24/7 and I only see him like once a year.
I get out of my thoughts to the sound of an engine starting.
"you thinking hard there?" my mom says in a sarcastic tone.
" kinda"
"well it's only about five minutes till we get there, so, are you gonna make some new friends?" she says while her eyes are focused on the road.
"if I can" I say while looking at the beautiful fields.
"well here we are"
it takes me a minute to get back to reality.
"wow, it's so..umm..beautiful!" I say my eyes not leaving the school.
" I know right, I have a feeling you will love it"
" I hope so" I get out of the car and wave to my mom as she pulls out of the driveway.
well, here I go, the first day at my new school with new people and a new year. and here it all starts. I open the doors
and walk in.
