My alarm clock went off at exactly 5:45am causing me to grown in frustration.
The only highlight of waking up was knowing I was welcomed. Mr. and Mrs. Albertson were without a doubt the best foster parents I've ever had. They were such a fresh breath of air, this finally felt like a new positive start.
School started at 7:10 so I had to move fast seeing as I already spent 15 minutes doing nothing. Great a new school, hopefully I wouldn't be a freak show. I'm no victoria secrets model but after my 15th birthday I started changing physically leaving acne behind. I'm 5'2 with a light tan skin color, dark brown wavy hair that's up to my hips and dark brown eyes that turn light brown in the sun.
After my quick shower and regular routine I exited my room wearing skinny jeans, a pink see through with a white undershirt and matching pink vans.

As Mr. Albertson and I pulled up to the high school reading Trailblazer High the breakfast Mrs. Albertson had cooked was turning in my stomach. I wasn't afraid just a bit nervous. I walked into the building searching for the main office when a 5'0 brunette crashed into me. "Sorry, didn't see ya. You look lost." I couldn't help but get a little red at her comment. "Uhh yea, I'm looking for the main office." "Ahh, newbie. Don't worry I'll walk you, I'm Gracy by the way." Her smile was warm and contagious. "Aly, nice to meet you."
Once I got my schedule I sat patiently waiting for my buddy. Apparently Trailblazer High had a system where new students were assigned to a buddy or friend who showed you around to your first day.
"Miss. Gomez meet Miss. Haugen." "Hi I'm Mary." Answered my new buddy. She had blonde hair in a pixie cut with colored eyes. "Hi I'm Aly." I quickly responded matching Mary's smile. "Let's go wile wouldn't want to be late." "Ok." was all I could respond.
"Umm my class is in room E265." I said a bit confused as to why we were in front of room C112. "Oh no, your right but you won't follow that schedule until tomorrow. Today you'll be following me to everyone of me classes. To get used to the periods amd meet some teachers or whatever" She commented back with a smile that had a hint of annoyance. I ignored the small amount of attitude and responded with a blunt "Oh, ok."

Mary had a CSI,which stands for Crime Scene Investigation, class for first period. I thought it would be fun but they reviewed different types of fires. I wanted to be a physiologist, I don't need expertise on fire for that career. Finally when the bell rang Mary said she had to stop at her locker so we were doing just that.
When Mary finally got the right binder she announced she needed to pee so we went to the bathroom. Just before we entered I saw this gorgeous 5'10 guy, goddess, gosh he seemed so perfect with his light brown hair, brown eyes, and cheesy smile. His tight varsity jacket made him a hundred times cuter, blue was definitely his color. I didn't realize I was starring until we made eye contact and he winked, not a jerk kind of wink but a sweet one. My moment slowly ended when I was pulls inside the bathroom. Thankfully Mary didn't notice my encounter with the cutie.

It was lunch time and honestly I was starving... Mrs. Albertson has my stomach used to 3 meals a day with various snacks in between and honestly I missed my pop-tarts.
I was having a mental conversation with myself until I bumped into a guy at the end of the lunch line. "Sorry" I quickly said reaching for the apple that had rolled off my tray in the moment of impact, but the guy beat me to it as he handed me my slightly bruised apple. "No problem." Said the guy but not just any guy, the guy, the one with flawless light brown hair and a cheesy smile, only this time it wasn't cheesy it was comforting. "I'm Andrew, your new right, I pretty sure I would have remember your pretty face if we'd met before. " That last part made me blush. "Yea I just moved here with my, well parents, I'm Aly, nice to meet you Andrew." "Haha, the pleasure is all mine well I'll see you around Aly." And with that he sent me a flawless smile and left. My heart was fluttering but I tried not to show any over dramatic emotion.
"Aly! Over here." And with that I was snapped out of my thoughts. Focusing in the direction I heard my name being called I saw Mary waving. I quickly stepped over to her table, not wanting any more attention. "Girls this is Aly my buddy, Aly this is Lola, Hanna, Krystal, Mike, Jeremy, and Grace." I quickly remembered Grace from this morning and responded a warming "Hello." With that I sat down and began to eat. It wasn't until Hannah spoke up and asked me where I came from that I realized this was a fairytale, but was it my fairytale coming true. "Well uhh, I, umm." "Don't worry we don't bite." Commented Lola, I couldn't help but blush in embarrassment. "I just moved to a new foster home about 15 minutes away from here." "Oh your an orphan." Said Jeremy as fast as Grace punched him. "Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude about it I think it's pretty cool, new opportunities right" he quickly added, I knew he was only to be nice. "Yea, I guess your right." With that the conversation soon ended falling into a awkward silence. Thankfully the warning bell rang and I shot everyone a cheesy smile before getting up alongside Mary.
