Before Time

Start Of Highschool

Maggy woke up to her little brother, felix, pounding on her bedroom door. "Wake up mags!" He shouted as she covered her ears with her pillow "okay, okay!" She shouted back. After a few minutes of groaning, she stood up and got ready for her first day of senior year.

She pulled on a pair of skinny jeans and a white tanktop. She finished by putting on her gray hoodie that says "shut up, i haven't had my coffee yet"

She ran to the kitchen and gave her dad a kiss on the cheek "she's alive?" Her father joked as he sipped his orange juice. She rolled her eyes but smiled " Kenzie is going to give me a ride" she said as she sat at the table.

"Great, maggy, but i have a little surprise for you" he smiled and handed her a silver watch. She smiles and put it on "it was your grandmothers" he added as he smiled too.

She hugged him over the table "thanks dad, it beautiful" she sat back down and starred at her reflection reflecting off the silver.

"I want something!" Her brother whined, completely ruining the moment. A car horn honked outside and maggy stood up "thats for me... see you later guys" she patted felix on the head and walked out.

Kenzie honked the horn as she smiled at maggy "how are you, mags?" Kenzie said as she unlocked the passenger door. "A 2011 ford focus... not bad for her first car" maggy thought as she climbed in.

"Fine" maggy answerd as she smiled back at her bestie. Kenzie, her best friend since 4th grade, changed alot over summer. Kenzie's blond hair got longer and her skin cleared up, she also got taller and curvy. While maggy hair barely grew, (shes hasn't cut it for 3 years) she was always tall for her age and she was still lean.

Kenzie also traded in her glasses for contacts so her big brown eyes really pop. Maggy still has her glasses.

But even though her body changed, she was still the kenzie who got stuck in a baby swing and who dumped a plate of crab legs on her mom when her mom called maggy an awful person (for being poor 😑)

"Ready for the last year of our highschool lives?" Kenzie asked. "No" maggy answered truthfully. Maggy didn't want to grow up, she didn't want to leave her family and be responsible for her own life... she wasn't ready.

Kenzie laughed like what maggy said was a joke.

When they got to the highschool, maggy noticed everyone changed. They weren't little kids anymore.

When she said bye to kenzie and walked to her class she noticed new teachers talked in the halls and new freshmens were walking about.

When maggy walked into her first class, she looked at the students who she's been with since 6th grade. She sat dow and starting messing with her watch. "I wish kenzie was dumber" she thought to herself.

Kenzie was in advanced English and maggy was in just regular English. The bell screamed loudly and other kids filled the seats around her, next to their friends.

A few minutes later a middle aged woman walked with dyed blond hair walked in. "Hello class, I'm Mrs. Wallace" she put her bag down and looked at the class, smiling.

"To start off the day, we are going to rearrange seats" she said. Maggy could hear kids groan and whine but the teacher didnt listen. "You will have a partner, for most of the year too" she smiled like what she just said was clever

She picked up her clipboard, stood there for 10 minutes and then looked at the class

"April with gina"

Two girls smiled and hugged eachother "friends" maggy thought as she turned her attention to the teacher again.

"Hunter with jack"

"Lucy with romeo" (hehe)

"Margaret with toby"

Maggy's head jolted up as she heard her full name "u-um. Mrs. Wallace, its maggy" she corrected. No one called her Margaret except her mom... who ran away when maggy was little to "find herself"

Mrs. Wallace nodded and pointed to a boy with headphones in. "That is toby" she said as she started naming other kids.

Maggy nodded and sat in the chair next to the rebellious looking boy.
