What's In Your Mind? (Krii7y) ✔️

Chapter 2

(John's pov)

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. It read 6:00 am. 'Why is it so early?' I thought. Then I remembered, today is my first day at my new school, so I wanted to be as prepared and awake as possible! I smiled to myself as I happily jumped out of bed and into the bathroom so I could take a soothing shower.

After I took a nice, long shower, I looked through my closet to find by best, but most casual outfit I can find. My mom said first impressions aren't baced on what you wear, but I think otherwise. Even though I know it's not the most polite to judge people by what they wear, that's what I've always done. It gives me an idea of what they're like.

'Aha!', I thought to myself as I found the perfect outfit. I picked my favorite Hawaiian button up and some cackie shorts. I then sat down to put on some close-toed white shoes. They weren't my favorite but they went well with my outfit. (Ima be honest, idk why I made that his outfit, welp, gotta live with it now.)

"John," I heard my mom call from the kitchen, "come get your breakfast, I made pancakes!"

"Ok I'll be there in a sec!" I yelled back. I pulled my phone off charge and slipped it in by bag before heading to the kitchen with everything I needed.

I walked into the kitchen and went to hug my mom. "Morning mom." I said with a smile.

"Good morning sweetheart, are you excited for your first day?" She replied while still cooking the pancakes.

"Sure am!" I stated. "I can't wait to see how different it is here than Texas!"

"Oh I don't think it will be that different," she said with a chuckle, "But I guess you can always hope."

She then handed me a plate with 2 pancakes and a fruit parfeit and it looked delicious. I sat down at the dining room table and started eating.

"This tastes great!" I said with food in my mouth.

My mom let out a small laugh, "Don't talk with your mouth full silly."

As I continued eating, I pulled my phone out of my bag and went to see if i had any messages.

One notification:
Jiggly: how's it going in LA? Miss me yet?

I laughed a little before I unlocked my phone to reply.

VapePlate: it's going great so far, and yea, I'll admit I'm already missing you and everyone else but I think I'll like it here.

Jiggly: aww man, well don't have too much fun

VapePlate: don't worry, things won't be the same without you

VapePlate: anyways, talk later I gotta finish breakfast so I can get going

Jiggly: ok man, good luck

I put my phone back in my bag and ate my last bite of pancake.

"Thanks mom," I complimented, "it was really good."

"Well I'm glad you liked it," she said with a smile, "now give me your plate and head outside so you can catch the bus."

I nodded and walked up to her, giving her a peck on the cheek. "Alright, love you mom, see you after school."

As I headed toward the door, she replied, "love you too, be safe!"

I gotta admit, I think I have the best mom in the world. She's always been there for me, and never showed me any less love than I show her, even after dad died. What makes her the best mom, though, is that even when the love of her life passed away, she still had the energy and motivation to take care of me. I've gotta be the luckiest teen ever to have a mom like her.

I sat on out on our front doorstep while I waited for the bus to show up. When it finally showed up, I hurried on board and tried to find a seat. Most of the seats were full but as I walked further and further toward the back of the bus, there was one seat open. The man sitting on one side of it had glasses and short hair, bleached on the top.

I walked over to him, "Is this seat taken?" I ask politely.

He looks up at me and gives me a smile before saying, "No you can sit here." He seems nice.

"I haven't seen you before, are you new?" He asks when I sit down beside him.

"Yea," I reply, "I moved here about a week ago from Texas."

"Oh that's cool." He says, seeming interested. "Well anyways, my name is Craig, or Mini, which is my nickname, what's yours?"

I was thinking of asking him about why his nickname is Mini, but I already had an idea in my head, and I wanted to forget it. "John." I reply to him.

"Well John, since you're new, when we get to the school, I think I'm going to show you around, you know, as an act of kindness for not asking about my nickname." He laughs.

"That'd be great, do you think you could also, maybe introduce me to people and help me get the idea of who to avoid?" I asked.

He smiles, "Of course bud, I think you'll fit in with my friends and I."

"Thank you so much, I've just met you but I think I've already began to trust you." I say while he chuckles.

"A lot of people say that about me, I guess I'm just a really trustworthy guy." He says a as he adjusts his invisible tie (don't ask).

The bus stops and I follow Craig around the school until he's shown me all the important things. After we say out goodbyes, I head to the front office to get my schedule.

"Hi," i say to the lady behind the desk as she looks up at me, "my name is Jonathan Keys and I'm new here."

She smiles and replies, "I see, I assume you would like your schedule, right?"

"Yes ma'am" I say.

She leaves the room and a few minutes later, she comes back with a small piece of paper.

"Here you go mister." She says as she hands me the paper. "I hope you enjoy it here."

"Thanks,"I reply, "and I will."

'This year is going to be great.' I think to myself as I look for my first class of the day.

A/N- Hello people! (I'm probobly taking to nobody but eh who cares) This chapter is a bit longer than the last one but I couldn't stop meh fingers from typing so oops I got carried away. The motivation I've got t write this story is unreal, I made this book like 3 hours ago and I already have like, 2 chapters done. I might publish another today but that depends on how long it will take me to do other things like shower and stuff. Also, for those of you who happen to be reading this right now (once again, probobly nobody), it would be great if you guys could comment a little bit, it helps motivate me knowing people are actually reading this. Toodles now! (I will never say that ever again)
