The One That Got Away

New School

Next Morning

I slowly open my eyes, everything around me blurry for a second. I rub my eyes then look around me, immediately being overwhelmed by the new setting. All of the memories of the previous day comes to me, so I look at the clock next to my bed and it reads 6:00 am. "Why did I wake up so early" I mutter to myself just before my dad bursts into my room. "Good Morning sleepyhead!!" He all but shouts into my ear. "Morning" I grumble, not happy in the least. "Hey, cheer up." "why?" My voice is rough and ragged, my tone not making it any more pleasurable to listen to. "Because I said so."

I get up, groaning. I walk to my dresser and go through my clothes, looking for an outfit for the day. Out of the corner of my eye I notice my dad still standing in my doorway. "You start school today by the way." Immediately my stare turns into a death glare. "You littl-" "watch what you say." Groaning, I push him out of my room then go back to picking out my outfit. Sleepily, I make my way to the bathroom. I should probably take a shower. Turning on the water, my mind starts to swirl with questions. I get in the shower, ignoring all of the random questions traveling through my mind.

I get out of the shower, humming my favorite song. I brush my long hair, putting it in a high ponytail. I put on a cute grey crop top and match it with a pair of black skinny Jean's with rips on the knees. I put on white ankle socks. Walking out of the bathroom, I grab my phone, my headphones, and my miniature black backpack. I walk downstairs to the kitchen to see both Axel and my dad eating at the table. "Who are you trying to impress?" Axel smirks as I roll my eyes. "For your information, this is how I always dress." I quickly grab a piece of toast then head towards the front door to sit and put on my white vans. It is way to early for school right now. Once I'm finished putting on my shoes I stand up and lean against the wall, eating my piece of toast, waiting for my slow poke of a brother. "If you dont hurry up I'm gonna leave you!" I all but yell, annoyed at how slow hes being today. "Give me a break!" "Never" the door shuts behind me while I'm walking out. On my way to school I soon realize that I have no clue of where I'm going so I turn around and head back. Axel is waiting for me, leaned up against his car, smirking. "Keep your loud mouth shut Axel" "what would be the fun in that Lil sis" I can almost hear the smirk on his face. Jerking my head, my death stare piercing deep into his soul, causing him to immediately stop. "Get in the car" his tone is cold and serious. I get in the car, staying quiet and staring out the window, watching the trees pass by. Eventually we reach the school. Glancing out the window, not really caring, I get a good look at the school. "Is this a private school!?" Axel covers his ears. "Yes, now stop yelling" "sorry"
We get out of the car. "Wait, if this a private school then why dont we have uniforms like the rest of them" out of the corner I see Axel smirk. "Because we're new students you idiot. We're going to get them today" "oh" my face blushes a little from embarrassment, knowing how stupid I just sounded. "Well, let's not waste anymore time and go get our schedules" "Yea"
Slowly, we make our way to the principals office. My eyes travel all over the hallways, taking in the details of the walls and counting the endless trophies on the shelves. "Hey Axel?" "Yea?" "How did dad afford all of this?" Axel stops walking and looks at me with a surprised expression. "What?" "You mean you dont know?" "Know what?" He starts walking again. "Nevermind" I stare at his back thats gradually getting smaller. "You cant do that!" "Says who?" "Me!" I hear a chuckle from in front of me. My facial expression changed from one of seriousness to a one of question. "What's so funny Axel?" "Nothing, let's just go" "ok?"
We make it to the principals office and Axel knocks in the door. From the other side we hear a faint 'come in'. Axel opens the door and in the corner was a desk. The small petite woman looks up from her desk, turning her attention away from the paperwork she was concentrating on just moments before. "Hello. You 2 must be the new students." Being the shy person I am, I hid behind Axel and just stayed quiet. There was an awkward silence. Finally, after a while, Axel broke the silence. "Yes, we are. I'm Axel, and this is my younger sister, Bella" "it's nice to meet the both of you." I tried to make my presence as invisible as possible, but she just had to point me out. "Bella, dear, theres no need to be shy" (Lord I suck at writing) I slowly step out from behind Axel and stare at the ground, not wanting to look up at her. My thoughts are racing, and before I know it, me and Axel are heading out of the principals office. Of course, because Axel is older, hes in a higher grade then me so we went our separate ways. Only then did I realize that I have no clue where my classes are. My anxiety starts to get higher and higher before a tap on my shoulder makes me jump. I quickly turn around to see a girl there. "Hi!" She had a a shirt skirt with a crop top. She had a little bit of make up on, but not too much. "Um....h-h-hi" shit! I just had to studder! She smiles at me then looks at the schedule in my hand. "Oh! You must be the new girl!" I nod my head a little. "Do you need help finding your classes? I can help you" "Really?" "Of course!" "Thank you so much" she starts to walk, telling me to follow her. "Its no problem at all" we make small talk on the way to class. I found myself laughing a little bit here and there. "We're here" I look at the door then at my schedule. "Thank you" I knock on the door softly and within 3 seconds the teacher opens the door, angry, but once she notices me her expression softens. "New girl I presume?" I shyly nod my head. "Come in and introduce yourself" she leads me inside the classroom and I find myself standing in front of the class. Looking at everyone in front of me, my anxiety starts to climb. I look at the teacher for help. Luckily she understands. "What's your name hun?" "Bella" I spoke quiet enough to where only she could hear me. "Right" she turns to the class. "Everyone! This is Bella. Shes new here. Please give her a warm welcome" she turns to me. "You can sit behind Aaron" again she spoke to the class. "Aaron please raise your hand" the kid in the far back raises his hand so I walk to the desk behind him and sit down. I look at the front of the class and zone out.

After class, I look around, not knowing where to go. I turn my head to see that Aaron kid beside me. "Do you need help finding your next class?" "U-um....yea" "what do you have?" "Geography" "follow me" he walks towards my class.

At lunch, I look for Axel, then I notice him with a group of people who are they? I start to walk to the group of people and one of them notice me. "Who is the chick?" One of the guys ask. Axel turns around to look at me. "Oh. That's my sister. Bella" I wave shyly and they all wave back. One by one then introduce themselves. "I'm Alex" one guy with a grey hoodie and black grey Jean's said. I wave at him. The rest of them introduce themselves. (I'm so lazy XD) I noticed Aaron in the group and at next to him. I didnt listen to my of the conversations as I stared out the window we where sitting at. Can the day just be over already?

The last bell of the day rings and I bolt out of my seat, wanting to get out of he- I mean school. I go to my locker and grabbed all of my homework. Homework on the first day. Fun. I pack my back and walk to Axels car, putting my bag in the back seat, then I sit on the hood of th car, waiting for him.
He finally got to the car "took you lo g enough bro" "shut up" "never" "just get it the car" I get in the car and we drive home.
I wake up to Axel pushing my arm "wake up. We're home" I get out of the car, grab my bag, and go inside. I set my bag down and start doing my homework. Pretty soon I'm being called down for dinner. I go downstairs and sit at the table. "So how was school?" Both Axel and I reply at the same time. "It was ok"

After dinner I walk back up to my room and finish my homework. I look at the time and see that its 9:15 pm. I should get some sleep. I put on my pjs and head to sleep, mumbling to myself. "Today surely was an interesting day..." I fall into a deep, almost cold sleep.
