anything for you

Monday, March 9th,2020

I woke up to the sound of my alarm. It's 6:30 am. It's Monday and I just wanna sleep.

I grab a towel from the closet and make sure to take a short shower so I can be on time. I blow dry and straighten my hair because at the end of the day somehow it gets messy. I don't wear makeup to school, let alone at all. Homecoming back in Maryland I wore mascara but that's it.

I go back into my room and I got goosebumps,

Why tf is it so cold in here?

My dresser still isn't here yet, sadly, so I dig through my boxes for clothes. I don't want to dress nice for my first day because that's just not the person I am. I decided to wear my adidas joggers with a blue santa cruz shirt. I said fuck it and wore the red vans.
(I also wore this a few days ago)

I peeked my head into Julien's room and he was still asleep. It's 7am, I'm walking to school so he won't make me late but I say his name a few times to wake him up but he doesn't budge. I do the next best thing a little sister does and jump onto the bed on top of him.

"Dude what the-

I cut him off. No time for talking I gotta go
"Julien it's 7:30 get up" knowing it wasn't 7:30 I liked to do this

"WHAT"

He pushes me over and leaps out of bed. I hear the closet door open and the shower water turn on. I laugh to myself and tell him bye from outside the bathroom.

I walk downstairs and my parents are already gone. I grab water from the fridge and a granola bar from the cabinet. On the counter there's a sticky note

Have a good first day of school, i love you guys-mom

I loved my mom. She always made me laugh and we never really argued. I would come to her when dad would yell at me or when I just needed to talk to somebody. When she isn't home I tell Julien but he sometimes doesn't get it because he's a guy and doesn't deal with "girl drama"

I grab my house key and walk out the door and decide to check my phone.

7:05am

I don't care what Lauren said. I'm getting there before 7:30, I made that choice because I'm going to walk from class to class before school starts just so I can get a feeling of it.

I kept walking and heard all the traffic so I must be close. I heard loud music once again and looked to me left to the street and the same girls said

"HAVE A GOOD FIRST DAY, NEW GIRL"

I sighed and put my hands into my pockets, why do they care so much about me being new? There's 4,000 people in this school and they're only focusing on me?

I reach the building and walk into the school.
7:24am

Perfect. I thought, I walk fast so I'm glad I got here at this time otherwise if I walked with Julien I would get here at 7:30. I hate slow walkers.

I made my way upstairs where the W lockers were at because they're by last name. So hopefully J and I will have a locker next to each other to talk between our classes. I reach my locker and hang up my backpack.
I grab my computer out of my bag and I put my binders and notebooks in my locker on Friday so I didn't have to carry them in my backpack to make it heavy on the way here.

I look at my schedules and my first class is English. I have folders too but I decide on using a binder and a notebook because I figured I'll have more work in that class. I quickly grab a pencil and write,
