I slammed my hand on the steering wheel in anger. “Shit! I’m going to be late!” I said aloud to myself. School began at 8:00. It was 7:59, and I was still far from it. I knew I wasn’t going to make it on time, and it really bothered me. Normally I’m very punctual, but I only fell asleep at 2 this morning, so I managed to sleep though my alarm. Oh well, might as well enjoy the ride.
Just then I hear my phone ring. Its my best friend Calvin calling, probably wanting to know where the hell I am. I answered it. “Hello?” “Lizzy, where are you?” he asked, in a frantic voice. “I’m in the car on my way to school. I managed to oversleep and now I’m stuck in traffic. I’m almost there though, see you in a few min.” “Okay well, they’ve already started assigning us to our classes so you’d better hurry!”
I finally arrived at school, I ran to the hall where they usually assign classes, and went to get mine. “Name and grade.” Asks the always less than friendly, Mrs. McLleod. “Uh, Elizabeth Grant, 11th Grade.” She hands me my new teacher list, timetable, and locker key. “Thanks ma’am.” I say, and start walking towards my new locker.
I spot Calvin in the hall and he looks back at me a split second after. I carry on walking towards my new locker and he runs after me. “Heeey Lizzy!” he says as he hugs me from behind. “How was your Christmas?” I turn around to give him a proper hug. “Ah it was okay actually, after you left I just watched a whole bunch of movies.”
My parents always went away over Christmas. I NEVER went with my parents on holiday. They were always working, and that’s all they would do when we went on a holiday together. So I’ve been spending holidays home alone since I was fourteen, I prefer it that way anyway. I get to do whatever I want, drink and smoke whenever I want without the fear of getting caught. This year they went to France.
Calvin came over on Christmas after lunch with his family, to keep me company. We just played video games and the usual, then he had to go visit his girlfriend Ellie and give her her present. “I’m glad you at least had a good Christmas! I’m always worried about you being alone in that big house, I don’t know how you enjoy it Liz.” “Haha, you know I’m used to being on my own. Hey, what classes do we have together?” I stole his timetable from his hands. “Ooooh that sucks. We only have English and Math together!” I said and gave him a pretend sad face. “I’m sure you’ll make some friends in the other classes Liz. Anyway, I’ve got to go. I need to talk to Ellie before-“ Riiiiiing! “Before the bell rings… See you at break!” he says and makes a dash for his next class. I start making my way towards my first class, Spanish. “This is going to be hell” I think, and give out a huge sigh.

So this is my first fic! :) I’ve never actually published anything I’ve written before, and I’m not sure if the chapter is too long/ short. Please comment on anything you think I can improve, I’m open to constructive criticism! :) Oh, and in America I’m not sure how the holidays and stuff work, but over here we have our long holiday over nov-jan and thereafter we move up a grade, so I’m so sorry if I got it wrong!
