Chapter 4 - A new day

~Sandra

We finally  done with  moving our stuff in and I wasn't  even surprised  when my mom brought new decor pieces  and a couch.

And I would say my room doesn't look that bad even  though  that's   still some stuff  it needs  to make it complete , but that's  a problem for  another day.

I'm now siting on my bed ,doing the homework that I got.

Thank goodness  it's only just English Literature and AP Calculus

"Sandra,  Dinner !"  My mom yells downstairs 

"Coming mom !" I close my literature  book and my workbook and head downstairs.

I  could smell the delicious  scent of spaghetti and meatballs when I walk in the kitchen.

"Dinner is served" She places down  the bowl filled with spaghetti and  meatballs in front of me and gives me my fork

I smile and walk to the lounge  and  sit my butt on the soft new couch

"Ahh, now this is heaven"

I hear my mom chuckle as she enters the lounge and sits next to  me.

"So are you ready for your interview tomorrow ?" I ask after swallowing my spaghetti

My mom twirls  her fork  and sigh " I mean I did prepare and I'm sure ready , but  I'm  so nervous , what if I do bad and I don't get the job and I won't be able to afford everything , it's  really  a lot of  pressure"

"Then don't  think of the pressure,  you got this okay ?"

My mom smiles as she nods. I don't  even know why my mom is so worried  I know she is going to nail this.

"But enough about me , tell me how was your first day of school , did you  make any friends ? ,  how do you like your  classmates ?. Come on I want details"

"Mom , it was just a normal first day"

"So you're didn't  make any friends or bump into guy who was so kind that he picked up your fallen book" Mom says as she  puts  her bowl a on the coffee  table and faces me

"No mom that only happens in Rom coms  but I did bump into a guy" I say pushing back  my glasses

My mom squeals as if I was telling  her I'm getting married 

"Wait you bumped  into a guy , who does he look like , what's his name ?"

"Mom it's not what  you're thinking  I mean yes I bumped into a guy but he wasn't sweet  at all"

My mom's smile turns upside "Okay then what did he do that was bad ?"

As  I bumped  into him , He yelled at me and told me to look where I was going."

"Wow chivalry is really dead." Mom mumbles to herself  "So did you see how he looked like ?"

I shook my head "No I only saw that he was wearing a navy blue hoodie"

"Oh but don't worry maybe the second day will be  better then the first"  My mom wraps her arm around my shoulder and I rest my head on her shoulder

"I hope so mom" I sigh. I mean Reighton High is not a bad school , it's  just that I'm  gonna have to get used of my new surroundings and get used to new people

Plus I'm  gonna have to figure out how to make at least one friend  to make my mom happy since she sacrificed so much for me the least I could do is make her happy.
