~Stay positive,work hard, and make it happen.~

Now since I'm brand new I'm not sure whose parking is whose. Today is day one here,like I'm not wanting to make any enemies. You know?

So I'm trying to distract myself by trying to help my mom look for parking. Whilst doing that I'm reassuring her that I can go inside alone.

You see,this is me trying to be positive. Me trying to do what Milea would not usually do. Putting up this façayde is honestly so tiring.

To be honest,I'm freaking out. I'm stressing. I'm losing mind and-ooooh we found a parking!

Chuffed with myself I then kissed my mom on the cheek and got out the car,checked that my skirt was down and then grabbed my bags.

I then walked as quickly and as naturally as possible. Trying my best to avoid the stares that I was getting.

As soon as I arrived I headed to the secretary. She glanced up at me and smiled. "How may I help you?" I smiled, "I'm Milea Jordans." She got out of her chair and welcomed me inside her office.

After doing some admin,receiving my time table and getting introduced to multiple staff members,I got introduced to Ava Matthews.

She's so pretty. She has long ginger hair that is tied up into a messy poinytail. She has beautiful olive skin and wears Prada glasses. She had Chemistry,Phyiscs and Math books with her.

Is it just me feeling insecure right now? She stretched out her hand, (well technically she first set her books down on the table) and smiled, "Hi I'm Ava Matthews. Nice to meet you." I smiled and took her hand,"I'm Milea Jordans and likewise." She nodded and helped me with my things.

She scanned through my planner, "Oh your locker is next to Liam's." I furrowed my eyebrows. "Whose Liam?" She glanced at me, smiled and shook her head. "You'll find out,sooner or later." I chuckled. "Okay then."

She stared at me as I placed my books in my locker. "So what's your story?" I closed my locker and glanced at her. "I moved from South Africa,Cape Town and I love music. How about you?" Ava took a moment, "Well I've lived here all my life. In my group of friends I'm the nerdy one. Also we have the first three periods together." I nod.

We talk and to my surprise we have a lot of things in common. Ava is really nice and she even invited me to sit with her at lunch.

As soon as we got to Math class I got dragged with Ava to a seat. She then introduced me to her bestfriend.

Bella Parks, she's the sporty one in the friendship circle. She plays netball and she's well known throughout the country. She is currently in a relationship with Connor Hudson. She is also so pretty. She is really tall and she has dark bruntte hair which is thrown into a messy bun. She has  beautiful olive skin.

You see, I am surrounded by stunning,fit people. She's all sporty whereas I cannot even run for two minutes without hyperventilating like a whale.

Bella smiled, "Hey pretty girl, your new right?" I smiled and nodded. "Hi I'm Milea Jordans." Bella nodded, "Cool, I'm Bellamia Parks. But I go as Bella." I nodded. Just then the bell rang signaling that it's offically first period.

A male teacher walks in. He scans the classroom and his eyes land on me. He grins, "Silence please. Welcome back students. This year there is no time for jokes and games. You need to be ready as everyday the work will get tougher. I see we have a new student."

I stare at my books. No this cannot be happening. Oh my gosh if I need to stand up I hope my skirt is covering everything. Oh my gosh, I really don't want to stand up.

"Well I am Mr Hamilton, may you please stand and introduce yourself."

Shoot.

I get up and casually smoothen out my skirt. "Hi, I'm Milea Jordans." He isn't staring at me, his staring at the paper in his hands. He glances up at me "Nice to meet you Miss Jordans. I see you excel very well academically."

For real, why do teachers do this? They try and look you up or try and get as much information about you as possible.

I smile and nod. "Alright Miss Jordans,you may take your seat." I sit down and glance at Bella and Ava who give me a reassuring smile.

Mr Hamilton continued with the lesson. I was so focused as to what he was saying that I didn't hear the bell ring.

Ava stood up infront of me, "Milea! Earth to Milea, the bell has rung. It's third period now and if you don't hurry up you're gonna be late to your next class."

I frantically pack up my stuff and head to AP English.
