Sinful Graditude

First Day

My alarm went off, it was 7:30. I had to be at school at 8:50. "Fuck I'm going to be late" I said getting out of bed and rubbed my eyes. After that I did the essentials, I brushed my teeth put some fresh new clothes on and did my hair. I skipped breakfast to pack my bag and texted my parents. They wished me a great day and wanted to know if everything was okay. I headed out quickly and hoped I was going to be on time anyways because I didn't need a car. The school was near and a bus would take me there even quicker, I hopped on the bus and looked at the map, the location in which I was staying was huge so I needed to be careful in not trying to get lost. Stop after stop people came on and off and I found myself a seat. I grew nervous thinking so hard as each stop went by, I had no friends or family here. It just me, I shook this feeling off and decided not to risk sleeping on the bus in case my stop came. I finally arrived and looked up, the campus was huge I found myself looking up for the longest time. I saw a lot of students together, laughing or talking or studying on the staircase towards the entrance of the school. This again made me homesick; I didn't understand why because I had no friends in Arizona neither did I expect to have friends here. I found myself looking around the campus this time "Are you lost"? I heard someone say as they tapped my back. "No I'm just walking around" I said still looking around having my back turned to the stanger talking to me. "Well you might want to head to class its 8:40" the voice said and made his way passed me before I could respond. "Oh shit" I said looking at my watch and making my way to the main entrance. As I ran I realized the conversation I just had with a stranger and not even getting their name or knowing who it was. All I knew was it was a man who had an extremely deep voice and heavy scented cologne. I never even got to see what they were wearing "Ugh how could I ignore someone that quick and not even try to get their name at least" I thought as I ran, I looked at my schedule and ran into the classroom. All eyes were on me as I walked inside to find a seat; even the professor was quiet as I entered. I looked around "First day and I'm the typical girl who comes into class with eyes on me" I thought and covered my face  with my hair. I shyly walked and found a seat in the back because of how usual it was for first time students to sit in the front. Even though the class room was huge being in the front was a way to get the teacher's attention which was hard in college "As I was saying" said the professor, "I am Mr. Addams I will be your English teacher for this semester, Some of you complained about the rearrangements of your schedules so if your schedule was changed then please see me after class, The worksheets I will pass out will be collected at the end of class" he passed the worksheets out and stopped at my desk and whispered to me "8:50 sharp next time okay"? He grinned then made his way to the next students. I thought for a moment and realized he was the man I was talking too before.
