Before Everything

Chapter 30

The new girl's Pov

So... skirt or my loose striped trousers? In other words, should I reveal my big thighs to the world immediately or try to make myself look a bit skinnier?

I decided to go with the striped pants and a black t-shirt. Black makes you look smaller so I'll try to wear it as much as possible. I put my hair up in a bun because it makes my face look more narrow. I went to our kitchen and my mom was making breakfast for us.

"Good morning, darling! I made some breakfast for us", she said and smiled.
"Umm, mom... not bacon again. You know what the doctor said. I have to lose some weight. You can't make me these greasy breakfasts anymore...", I said and went to the fridge to look for something else to eat.
"Uh honey, I know but little bacon doesn't kill anyone."
"Well, it will eventually kill me if I keep eating the same trash all the time. So I'll make a smoothie."
"Okay then, darling. Okay then", mom said and kept roasting those delicious slices of bacon.

I could really do this diet very well and actually make some changes if mom would believe the doctor. She makes this so hard. But I'm proud of myself, I have lost some weight and I exercise more than before.

"Honey, are you nervous about your first day here?"

Huh, am I? That's a stupid question. Of course, I am. The last time I was here I got bullied by... well everyone. Everyone called me fat and laughed at me all the time. That was the reason we moved away. But now we had to move back here because of my mom's work. And because I thought that no one could recognize me anymore since it's been so many years. But still, I am really nervous. All I could think about was will the bullying start again? Will everyone recognizes me? Will I have any friends?

I snapped out my thoughts when mom yelled me that I had blended my smoothie for five minutes. I quickly turned the blender off, poured it in a shaker and took it with me.

"Wish me good luck!" I said to mom and smiled.
"Good luck, honey! I'll make you your favorite food when you come back from school", she said and gave a hug to me.
"Mom, I'm not six anymore. You don't need to hug me..."
"Of course I have to. You're still my little girl!"

I noticed she started getting teary so I grabbed my car keys and went quickly to my car. I turned on the radio, drank my smoothie and drove quickly. I was already late.

I forgot to tell you my name. My name is Freya Skye. I actually like my name very much. I think it's unique and beautiful. My parents did a great job picking out the name for me.

I had parked the car and was walking towards the school. No one was paying attention to me. This is going super well. Nobody recognizes me, I thought.

I went inside and walked to the principal's office. Anyone wasn't saying anything about me yet. Although I walked to the office from the side door so no one actually saw me.

"Hello, darling. How can I help you?" the secretary asked and smiled at me and I could see her teeth full of lipstick. She had a massive beehive and a huge hairband. She looked like she was straight from the 70's.

"Well, I'm a new student here. And I have to see the principal."
"Oh, of course, darling! Could you tell me your name and I'll check you to our system?"
"Freya Skye."
"Oh, heaven's sake! That's a beauuutiful name!" she said and stopped typing.
"Thanks to my mom and dad", I said and smiled shyly.

"Indeed! Okay pumpkin, I checked you in. Go sit to that bench, Mr. Jackson will call you in", she smiled.

She really was the sweetest person ever. I sat on the bench for about five minutes when Mr. Jackson called me in.
