The rays of the sun woke me and I realised it was summer and I had to eat breakfast as soon as possible because it was a Monday morning and I had to get to school really early.
Sam, I heard my mum's call.
I got up from bed, took a quick shower and left the room.
Hey, I said to my mum.
Hola, she answered in Spanish.
Pancakes for breakfast? I yelled.
What? Don't you like it.
No,no, I spat. I didn't like the fact that I have to tell my mum that I didn't like pancakes. I mean she's my mum, she's meant to know.
Hola, mi amor. I heard my dad say from the back of the dining room where mum and I were eating.
Hola, I said back.
Uh, Sam, my dad started making me worry that he was about to say something that was going to freak me out but I tried to be brave and listened to whatever it was he had to say.
Look, I just got a new school here in Las Vegas and I'll want you to try it.
Oh, okay, I chuckled thinking about the new friends I was about to have and new teachers and every other thing like that that I liked to do.
What's the name? I asked without looking up.
Hmmmm, he said trying to remember.
You don't know the name?! I asked looking surprised.
Hamville Junior High. He bursted out laughing.
Hurry up, you have to get to school before 9:30am. My mum said. Do you wanna be late on your first day and give a wrong impression of yourself.
No, I won't want that to happen. I smiled.
Meet me in the car, dad said after his food.
Hey, here, you almost forgot your backpack. Mum said to me.
Thanks, I smiled running to the driveway.
[It was so intense that I didn't know what to say because I was bothered about me telling my dad that I needed a car but I broke the silence anyways.]
Uh, dad, there is something I've been wanting to tell you. I said with fear in my voice.
What is it? He asked raising his eyebrows.
Dad, I started. I need a car so that_ _ _ _.
What for? He cut in.
Damn, he didn't even allow me to finish. I whispered underneath my breath.
Dad, you don't have to worry about me . I know you don't have much money right now but I promise I'll use it well. Trust me. I winked.
Okay, I totally trust you. He said, convinced.
Thanks dad. I hugged him.
Uh, honey, we're in a car remember and I'm driving.
Sorry, I chuckled.
I wonder what school would be like dad, I'm very scared.
Don't worry honey, everything will be alright. I'm sure you'll like the school. It's your type, he winked.
Reaching a mansion with white paintings and a grey rooftop, immediately we drove into the school and there it was boldly written: HAMVILLE JUNIOR HIGH
Hello, my name is Beatrice and I'm the school counselor. Pleased to meet you. She said bringing out a handshake.
Hi, I'm Donald Williams and this is my daughter, Samantha Williams. Dad said, receiving the handshake.
Hello, how are you doing? She asked me with a smile on her face.
Fine, thank you. I said.
Are you the new girl that just got admitted into the school? She asked bringing out a form.
Yes ma. I said.
Okay then, you just have to sign these papers and I'll take you on an orientation programme.
Okay ma. I said, bringing out a pen from my bag.
Thank you sir, you can now take your leave,  I'll handle it from here. She said looking at my dad.
[After the orientation program by the school's counselor, Beatrice, she took me to the Trig. Class where I'll be having my classes.]
Did you enjoy the orientation? She asked.
Yes. Thank you so much for having me here. I said with a smile on my face.
So, do you like the school?
Oh, yes. I answered.
Glad you like it. Alright, you can go home now. She said. Bye.
Bye.
I was walking home when I saw a familiar face walking towards me but I couldn't really tell who it was or where I had seen the face before.
Sam, is that you? The person asked.
Wait a minute, Sean Beetles, right? OMG, it's been a long time since I saw you.
IKR, it's been two years now. Hasn't it?
Yes. I said.
What are you doing in Las Vegas? He asked folding his arms.
Dad got transferred here last month. I said.
Seriously, mum and dad are here? He asked looking so excited.
Yes they are.
Geez, it's 4:30pm in the afternoon. I said. Sean, I'll see you later. I gotta go. Bye, I said waving.
Bye, he said waving back.
Hello mum, I'm home.
Hey sweetie. How was your first day in school? She asked, kissing my cheek.
It was great. I love the school, mum.
I'm glad you love it.
Okay, now go take a shower. You're just coming from school. She said, smiling.
One more thing, mum. I said, looking at her.
What?
I saw Sean today on my way from school. I said turning to look at the expression on her face.
Seriously, Sean is in Las Vegas?
Yes, mum. I said,smiling.
I'll have to go greet his mum.
Mum, they are coming here tomorrow. You just have to make the perfect dinner. I said, smiling.
Wow, this is a miracle. I'm never leaving HAMVILLE, mum. I said. It's a blessing from God. I said, hugging my mum.
I love you, HAMVILLE. I said, screaming at the top of my voice.
