I'll find you

|Going to School in disguise|

September 7, 2019

     It was the day. School. had woken up a 6:00 AM. School started at 8:00. I had two hours to pack up, dress up, do my hair, and eat breakfast. I made eggs and bacon with orange juice.. "Delicious!" 

I put all my school supplies into my backpack... then I packed up my lunch. 

I made my way to the bathroom.. and I brushed my hair and bangs a little. 

I made my way to the bus stop.. looking at my watch I saw that it was 7:30 AM.. "perfect timing".. I thought to myself. The bus arrived and I entered it.. slowly.. my head down.. I was kinda shy. I sat  by myself, for all the kids in the other seats seemed older than me.. "seniors? maybe" I thought to myself. 

We arrived at school.

I slowly walked into the school, then I went to my locker. "Number.. 252. ok." 

All of a sudden a girl came up to me. I was curious as to why though.

"Hi! My name's Mia. Are you Elaine?"

I was a little shy to answer but.. "Y-Yes."

"No need to be nervous. I'm sure everyone will like you.. here at Ridgemont Academy!" "Okay Elaine.. I will help you with your locker and lead you to class.." 

She whispered in my ear, "We're in the same class."

"O-Okay I said." 

"Okay so put your lunch box on any shelf in your locker that you want to, and take out all your stuff from your backpack and just put necessary things in your backpack. Put the rest in your locker." So Mia lead me to class.. she seemed like a person filled with energy.. she was skipping.. not walking... maybe just maybe she could be my friend. While thinking about that.. it's like she read my mind.. she asked, "Hey wanna be friends?" 

"Oh sure!" I said happily. 

We entered the classroom. Someone was standing at the front of the class. "Oh hello Mia.. and you must be Elaine the new girl." Mia nudged me in the shoulder and whispered, "she's the teacher Mrs. Rodrigo." 

"Okay.." I said slowly. 

"Elaine why don't you introduce yourself..?"

"Okay Mrs. Rodrigo.. I will."

I walked to the front of the room..

"Hi. My name's Elaine and I'm 16. I like playing soccer."

"Thank you Elaine.. now sit down next to.. Mia."

I walked over the where Mia was sitting and I sat down. Somehow.. I had a feeling.. there was another.. demon. I don't know how but.. I just felt it. 

Mrs. Rodrigo opened her mouth, "Okay so do any of you know a different language fluently?"

I was shocked, when all the students raised their hands..

I knew a bit of french so I raised my hand as well.

Most kids could speak German or Spanish fluently.. then their was me.. I didn't know french.. fluently. 

The teacher opened her mouth again, "Ok so write a paragraph about you in a language other than English. Write about your name, age and birthday."

I sighed in relief, I knew how to do that.. at least. 

 I started writing on my paper..

Bonjour, je m'appelle Elaine et j'ai 16 ans. J'aime la couleur rouge. Mon anniversaire est le 14 décembre. 

I thought for a while and continued my paragraph, and wrote..

Bonjour, je m'appelle Elaine et j'ai 16 ans. J'aime la couleur rouge. Mon anniversaire est le 14 décembre. Je parle un peu le français et je parle couramment l'anglais.

I was done and so were many others.

A few minutes later the bell wrung and we had to go to Math.

Math was pretty straight forward and easy for me.. it is my best subject.

At lunch Mia started asking a lot of questions..

"So Elaine.. do you like school so far?"

I said, "Yeah! I love it."

"Well that's good.. now Elaine what do you have for Lunch?"

"Oh I have.. a p & j sandwich."

"Oh me too!" Mia said Joyously

I ate my lunch and took out my water bottle. I was thirsty. I drank around half of my water. 

Mia and I walked back to our lockers and got our History books.

During history I tried to pay attention but it was way too boring.. I doodled in my notebook. 

The teacher kept explaining how World War I began..

I wasn't to interested

I drew pictures of random kawaii things 

At the End of class, the history teacher said, "Okay so now I will check your notebooks to make sure you took notes."

I was doomed. I hadn't taken any notes at all. 

It came to the point where she was checking the row in front of me.

...She came to my row

Everyone in my row had it.. but me

She looked at my notebook and sneered at me, "Your going to detention for doodling instead of taking notes."

I was disappointed. I mean like.. I know I'll go to detention because I like never focus.. but now I have to go to Detention on the first day.  

I packed up all my belongings.

 I was walking at a slow pace. I got out of the classroom and walked against the lockers. I saw the door to detention and slowed down even more..
