I wake up to the sound of my alarm, I roll over and turn it off when it hits me this is the first day of my last year of school. I throw my legs off the side of my bed and reach for my clothes where I slip back under my duvet and slide them on, trying to maximise the amount of time I get in bed. I have chosen the choice of trousers and a black jumper and put my greasy hair into a bun, curl my lashes and head downstairs.
There is a knock at the door and I know it's Giselle, she is the only person I have right now the only person that will help me get this day and this year. I open the door "Hey girl" she says while pulling me into a bone crushing hug "Are you ready to act as if everything is ok?" She asks. "I was born ready" I reply trying to lighten the mood, not being able to stand the pity look any longer after all that's all have had for a month. We run to the bus stop and get on the bus just in time. We arrive at school and walk into the common room which is noisy as per usual, filled with gossip and laughter it's good to know some things never change. Everyone begins to greet us and ask us how our holidays were and I am so grateful for Giselle as she takes the reins answering everyone's questions and diverting them away from me. I walk round to the attendance office with Giselle on my heel muttering about how much she disliked Amber making my giggle on the way round to sign in. " Is that a giggle I just heard?" She asks I look towards her and nod "It's nice to hear that awful sound again she says creating a shove from me. We wait in the queue to sign in when about to get to the front and two backs are shoved in my face. Now if you know me you know my biggest pet peeve is pushing in. I tap the back of this tall boy that I have never seen round here before and yes I knew from the back no one in this school reaches over 5'11 and this guy has to be 6'3. Giselle is looking at me with pleading eyes as I know how much she hates confrontation but I have so much anger inside of me I will use the tiniest excuse to get some of it out. The stranger turns around along with the one behind me and I am pretty sure me and Giselle stopping breathing at the same time they were gorgeous. Now fuck that they were not earthly beings. I was shortly snapped back into reality by the cough of the girl waiting behind us when I finally did what I set out to to do. "Excuse me can you not see there is a queue here, so I would really appreciate if you would go to the back". Only one of them replied as the other one was too busy eye fucking Giselle. He replied in a smug voice "oh sorry were new here so you know we didn't know how it worked."
"Oh so you've never seen a queue before" he looked very taken a back by this
"I assumed by that reaction you do know how queues work so make your way to the back"
Bitchy I know but I felt as though it was needed.
The next thing I knew his friend was dragging him by the arm and to the back of the queue. I was satisfied.
I finished signing my name and walked back to the common room while rude boy sent me his filthiest look making me giggle.
Giselle next to me was giddy mess saying things like "Did you see the way that guy looked at me? Ohhhhh he is so fit"
I just laughed and headed off to my first lesson.
