A Lovely Love Story

First Day at Collins High

Ding ding, ding ding, goes my alarm. I quickly turn on my bed at slap the snooze button. Then I close my eyes shut and pull my covers over my face. Ding ding, ding ding, it goes again. I turn off the alarm, and roll out of bed. Ow. I already know the first day is going to suck. Just great. Looking over at my desk chair I see a cute outfit hanging, a strapless teal tank, ripped jeans, and my sandals. Right away i get up and throw in the outfit, I look in the mirror. And hey, I actually look cute. With that a wave of relief rushed over me and I thought to myself. Maybe today will be okay.

Oops! I almost forgot to introduce my self. My name is Rachel May Olin, I'm 16 years old, and today I'm attending a new school. It's called Collins High and it has a HUGE campus. I'm excited but nervous, the only person I know there is my cousin Jonathan. And he likes to make fun of me, a bit of a jerk. So I'm more on the nervous side of things. I'm attending Collins High because after my mom passed away due to cancer. I had to move with my uncle Derek to Fresno, where my cousin Jonathan lives. I would live with my dad but, he abandoned me and my mom when I was 5.

Anyways I should probably get to school now, I'm still nervous but at least I have a cute outfit. So, I hop in my uncle Derek's car and he drives me and Jonathan to school. When we get there I am in awe of the big campus and all the high schoolers scattered around... everywhere! I hop out out the car wave to uncle Derek and I'm set. I automatically we're tones of cliques, cute and cool girls, jocks, geeks, casual kids, etc. I wander around and look for somewhere to sit, or hangout until class starts. That's when I hear Jonathan calling me over to his jock friend group. I try to ignore him but he has the audacity to walk up to me and slap my shoulder. "Hey Rachel, come meet my friends, one kinda likes you." I roll my eyes and turn around, all the sudden I smell sweat and axe mixed together. I see several boys covered in sweat with bright red cheeks. "I'm not interested in any of these sweaty jocks, sorry Jon." I say all sassy like. " Ok, ok, take a chill pill cousin. " he says with a wink. I roll my eyes again as I watch him walk away. That's when I hear the bell ring and I walk to my first class, English. As I'm walking to class I see people staring and giggling at me. It makes me uncomfortable, but I deal.

Finally it's my last class and school is almost out. I can be done with humiliation and stress now. Why are people such jerks ugh. Suddenly a girl with brown hair walks up to me. "Hey, you seem a little stressed, you okay?" she says smiling at me. " yeah I'm fine, just kinda lonely, I'm new here actually. " "Well, my name is Nelson, Nell for short." She says shaking my hand. " I'm Rachel nice to meet you. "

We had a long convo in class until the bell rang. She actually even showed me this boy named Anthony. He was so cute, and he couldn't stop staring at me! OMG!
