Trusting You

Hi, I'm Rue

It's Saturday. The day I dreaded the most since last Saturday. "Rue, hurry up! Their gates close by 4!!" "Coming Mom!!!" I surveyed my room to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything. Toothbrush? Check. Mojo? Check. Done. Mojo was my stuffed monkey. I've had for like 3 years now? Now I can't imagine sleeping without it.
I stormed downstairs before my mum could yell my name again. "Well it's about time" "Piss off Jordan" "Language, Rue" "Whatever Mom". Jordan is my younger brother my mom's decided to "bless" me with two years after I was born. Here are 3 things you need about Jordan:
1. He's a pain in the ass

2. He's really a pain in the ass

3. He's generally just a pain in the ass

How I've survived with him for 15 years of my life? I do not know.
"Is Bri here yet?" Jordan pushed past me. "Yh she's been waiting outside for hours since you decided to take your sweet time upstairs". I opened the door to see Bri helping my mum put the luggage in the boot. "Don't mind him it's just like 10 minutes" I chuckled and ran down the stairs to hug my bestfriend. Bri has been my bestfriend since freshman year.

I was really nervous on my first day. I walked into my classroom as quickly as my feet could take me. My first instinct was to sit on any seat available so I didn't have to look at anybody. I ended up in the middle seat in front. I was arranging my books when a cute pair of sandals stood in front of me. I looked up to see a girl about my height looking down at me. I cleared my throat about to speak when... "Get up" "What?" I blinked once. "Do you have trouble hearing? I said get up. I want to sit here." I blinked twice. "But I'm already sitting here". I spoke quietly. "Yh well I want this seat so you get up." People were already starting to look at us and that's the last thing I needed right now. I started packing my books when a voice spoke up. "Why don't you just find another seat? It's clear that this seat is taken." Was that me?! Wait, no that couldn't be me. I turned back to where I guessed the sound came from. A girl sat behind me starring hard at the other girl. "Are you talking to me?" "No, I'm speaking to your cute sandals". Some kids burst into laughter. I couldn't help but laugh. Miss. Rude stormed off muttering something within the lines of Princess and respect and blah blah. I turned towards Nice girl. "Thanks" "You're welcome. I'm Britney but you can call me Bri. Wanna hear a story?" She shone her white set of teeth at me. And there, ladies and gentlemen is how I got the best bestest friend ever.

"Rue!! I'm going to miss you so damn much. I'll make sure to text everyday, probably after every period. You must tell me about everything when you get there. Don't leave me hanging, okay?" "How dare I?" I feigned hurt before we both burst into laughter. I was at the brink of crying but I wasn't gotta let Jordan call me a crybaby. I hugged her tighter before letting go. I put my little box in the boot before shutting it close. "You heard from Noah yet?" " Yh he texted me that he had an impromptu practice so he couldn't come" "Boyssss!!!" She groaned. "Always picking ball over bae. I'm done with them" I laughed at my bestfriend's words.
My mom came out from the house. "Hey Bri. Honey we have to start going if you want to get there on time". I rolled my eyes. "I don't even want to go so why would I want to get there early?." Now, it was my mum's turn to roll her eyes. "Just get in the car. Bye Bri. Greet your mom for me" "Sure Mrs. Evans. I will." I gave my best friend one last hug before entering the car. As we drove off, I glanced at the mirror to see Bri waving at the car. I smiled and waved back. " So now let's go through our list of acceptable behaviour when faraway from home" I groaned. This is going to be a long ride.

"We're here". I took a deep breath. Okay Rue you can do this. I got down to join my mum who was already pulling my luggage out of the car. Excited much. We located my dorm in less than 20 minutes. I opened the door to a neatly furnished room. There were 4 beds, 3 neatly laid. The room was well ventilated. There were 4 study tables. Four nice wardrobes laid side by side. I think I just saw a roach come out of the empty one. Shriek! This is what I get for resuming in the middle of the year. I dropped my stuff and turned back to see my mom surveying the room. She looked at me with teary eyes. Really? She's crying? She's the reason I'm here!. She stepped forward to hug me. "Be a good girl okay. Mummy loves you". I hugged her back. I mean it's not like I had any choice. "Love you too mom". We went downstairs to the car. As she drove off, she blew one last kiss to me and I smiled widely.

I was a little bummed on my way back to my room. Where was I even going to start from?. I opened the door to see a girl arranging her books on one of the study tables. She turned at the sound of the door and smiled at me. " Hi, you must be the new girl. I'm Jess". Then I smiled wider. "Hi, I'm Rue"...
