Life goes on

Sick girl

While writing I heard "Sick Boy" by The Chainsmokers. Fits this chapter perfectly. So hearing it while reading could be cool.
Enjoy!

I tremble to the bathroom, cleaning my face with ice cold water. All I need right now is a long mind clearing shower.

I set up the warm water and try to rub my bad dream off. When it occurs again in my head: Today is my first day at my new school! A load of aniexty goes over me and not even showering extra long can handle that.

My mind is always drifting away. The words are echoing in my head. Clara, pack your things. We're moving.We're moving. Moving. Moving. Moving. To New York. Moving to New York.

I still can't believe it. I lived my whole life in Kasney, little village, my little universe. Far away of big cities. Now I'm living in one. Heck I want to go back. I miss my friends. My life is in Kasney.

"Clara, darling, hurry up. Or do you want to be late at your first day?!", screams my mum.

Fast I finish showering and get some clothes on, grab my bag, ran to the door. "Let's go", I say breathlessly.

The car is driving through morning traffic. Everything gets blurry again. Please let everything be a dream. But no, it's real. Real life.

We stop before a big monument which should be my new school. Mum of course got me in the best in N.Y. but as a result there's a high chance everybody there is snobby.

I make my way out of the car and approach the school. I look upon my resignation: Baccalaureate School of Global Education. This is my new school.

If you would told myself that I go to BSGE one year ago I wouldn't believed you a word. This is so strange for me.

I breathe in big time and step in the school. I take a look at the hall where so many people chat and laugh.

I feel like I'm not part of these people. I'm not a N.Y. girl.

I stand there around three minutes when a girl bumps into me and groans:"You're in my way" Wow, how friendly of her. She pats her dress and goes away, nose even more higher.  If everybody here's like this, my life will be hell.

After a lot searching I reach my right classroom. Nervously I bust in and see everybody ignoring me.

I don't know if it would be better if they would've been quiet and stare at me. But this isn't comfortable for sure.

"Hey, are you new?", I hear the first friendly voice this day. I turn around to face a brunette tall girl smiling. And she doesn't look like she's joking with me.

"Yeah, this is my first day"

"I knew I never saw you here. Well, you could sit next to me this period."

Gratefully to not be lonely anymore I take the set next to the girl which name by the way was Garcy.

"This is so an unique and beautiful name", I mean.

And just like that we somehow clicked. You know the connection you get only after a few seconds? You don't really know the other but you are sure you'll be friends? Well I have this with her.

We even sit together at lunch time. And I must admit she's really nice and fun to be with. Also her friends are nice to me too, so that makes my first day a lot easier.

They got another subject here as I had back in Kasney. It was obliged to get a foreign language in N.Y. but I didn't had one before. So the teacher decided it was best for me to get a tutor which called me back on after the end of all my classes.

I wait in front of the classroom with the teacher for my new tutor. I don't know a fact about him or her. But we'll see soon.

I see a tall boy reaching us bit as I see him from a smaller distance I gasp.

It's the boy I dumped in the past day when I wanted to go in the elevator.

He looks even hotter than I remember. His hair still a little bit messy and wears a black shirt. He glances over to me as he starts to speak to the teacher.

"So I leave it to you two to handle everything. And as a return you could tutor him a little in maths, Clara"

I nod and the teacher says his goodbyes and leaves us two behind alone.

"So new girl. I'm just doing this to get a good reputation for college. 6pm at my place", he adds before he turns on his heels and wants to walk away.

"I don't have your address!"

"Just ask anybody in this school about Jayden"

And just like that he disappears. Outside the school I see that Garcy already went home so I couldn't ask her about that boy.

I still feel like the odd one out. The new one. I don't know anybody here and I have an awkard feeling around them.

Back in Kasney I was a pretty brave girl with my friends. Many even would claim me as the "popular girl". But still I had my best friends which were always there for me. I hope this doesn't change now.

Here I'm unknown and new. Nobody really knows me and I have nobody to share everything with. I'll probably never belong here. I'm the sick girl here.

I take all my courage and approach a random friendly looking girl.

"Hey"

"Oh, hey. Sorry do I know you?"

"No, I'm new. I just want to know the address of Jayden"

"Oh? Already fell for him?" She giggles.

"No, he's my tutor."

"Sure. But he lives in the squad building"

I don't know what this is. Probably his home. But I don't want to be a burden to the girl so I don't ask. I just nod and make my way home.

Thanks for reading!
