Dear diary,
The morning sunshine through my pink curtain really reflected into my eyes and I found out I was almost late for school and I woke up immediately.
Ding! Dong!! The doorbell rang and I went to open the door and then I knew that mom had gone out cause her car wasn't outside I opened the door and I saw Matilda already dressed in a blue jean trousers, ash top and ash all-stars shoe. "Good morning Matilda".
"Good morning, so you're not yet dressed?" Matilda asked being kind of disappointed. "Oh no, we will soon be late" Matilda said. "Matie" Like I always call her. "Yes?" she replied. "Please come into my room and help me out, please!" I told her politely. "Okay, let's make this quick as possible" Matilda said. We both ran in to my room. I rushed into the bathroom, brushed and bathed as fast as I could and came out only to see that Matilda had brought out the clothes I was going to wear. She brought out an Italian cold hand Lilac dress. I really loved it so I put it on as fast as I could. I then put on a light makeup. We both went to my kitchen to look for breakfast and then, I saw a letter from mom.
"Am sorry Gal, I was called early to come
To work as early as 6:30am. Am sorry that I am not
Going to see your friend. That will be tomorrow I promise.
Take good care of yourself and don't forget Lucky Bracelet!
-Mom-

I read it and showed it to Matilda to know that my mom is really sorry for inviting her in vain. "I really wish I have a mother like your" she said. When I heard that, the cornflakes in my mouth fell back into the plates "What did you say? "Please we will be late hurry up; it's a story for another day" I finished eating and ran inside to get the bracelet, locked the door and kept it under the carpet incase mom comes for lunch. And we ran to school.
We opened the door and got in and guess what we saw? We saw posters everywhere and it was my picture. Everyone popped from their hiding place and said "Happy stupidity" and they all laughed. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I know that the girl that took snap shot of me had gone to photocopy it. Matilda helped me get out of there and then we went to our class. The students were called to the assembly and we went. After all the announcement, Principal Mrs. Agnes said "Arianna, please stand up!" and the girl stood up and she was the girl that eyed me and Matilda yesterday.
"Arianna, I heard you made all those posters outside with your money just to humiliate and bully a new student named Bailey I'm I right? Principal questioned her. "Yes ma'am" She said. 'Alright, you know what? You have to remove all those posters and report to my office after now". "Okay ma'am" Arianna said without fear.
"Oh my God, what on earth did I do to the so called Arianna that I don't know? She just started bullying me and Matilda, me most especially our first day at school" I said to Matilda while we climbed the stairs. "Popular girls are just bullies. Never mind them" Matilda said to me.
"Hope you guys, I mean the new students have joined a sport team?" Our physical fitness teacher Mr. Allison asked looking at me and Matilda. Me and Matilda stood up the same time and said "Yes sir!" Mr. Allison smiled and said "That's good, standing up means that you have respect and a proper home training and also shows that you're matured" He complimented us. "Thanks sir" I and Matilda chorused. "So Bailey and Matilda, what sport team did you join?" Mr. Allison asked us "Soccer team sir" Matilda said "You?" He said pointing out to me. "I joined Basket ball sir!" I said. "Oh, nice and I hope you both know your group leader and you coach?" "No sir" we both chorused. "Okay, for basket ball, you leader is Arianna Leonard just for the girl group. And Zack Mitch for the boy's basket ball group. You know why? They were the basket ball champion for last year. You can also be the group leader if you become this year champion" He said to me with a smile "Sir is that possible??" I asked. "Yeah anything is possible" Mr. Allison gave another smile. Your coach is Mr. Anthony"
I was on my own corner saying that I was finished in my heart. How can Arianna be our team leader? Am in trouble then.
"Over to you Matilda, your team leader is Marinette Brian. Actually, she's not the soccer champion she was chosen to be the leader because she could play very well. The soccer team didn't win last year, both the boys and girls group but Jared remains the champion because he was the champions for last upper year. But I bet you'll make them win this year" Mr. Allison said. "And your coach is Mr. Mc-Gibson" he said to Matilda and at that moment, wished I was in her shoes. Because Marinette is one of the brilliant quiet girl and she was even our junior so she can't...what's the "can't" there? She can't even dream of doing silly stuffs like bullying who? Her seniors?.
Soon, school closed and the principal sent for me. I told Matilda to wait for me at outdoor. I entered her offices and I greeted her "Good day ma". "Good day Miss Jackson" Like she calls me most time "How has been your day?" she asked me. "It was awesome ma'am. Thanks for asking". I lifted up my eyes to see Arianna at the back of the door. "Please have your seat" She said "Oh thanks" I replied. "Miss Jackson Am sorry for the embarrassment and for what Arianna caused you" Principal said. "Oh, no problem ma'am!" I said to her "Thanks" she said to me now facing Arianna. "Arianna, will you apologize now before I rage my anger on you?" "Oh! No ma, please don't force her to do that because is not going to come from her heart... I dislike fake people" I said spitting everything I thought about her on the ground close to her. "I know people like Arianna; they are the type that goes back to their vomits. So there's no need for her to do that" I said in a young lady tone.
"OMG, you're really matured Bailey. I wish Arianna would learn from you and stop acting foolish and thinking that she's feeling good" Mrs. Agnes said. 'Thank you ma" I said and left.
"What happened?" Matilda asked me immediately I came out. Arianna came out and gave me a revengeful face, snapped at me and left. I laughed when I knew she had gone to avoid her troubles. I narrated the story to Matilda and we headed home.
I reached home and begged Matilda to come see my mom before she goes home. We went home and I introduced her to mom and mom liked her instantly.
