Young Love - A Zalfie Story

The First Day

Zoe's POV:

*BRINGGGGG* I was woken up at 7:00am by my alarm. Urgh. Not school, AGAIN!! It's the first day of school, let's make it better than all of the rest. The first thing I did was check my phone for any messages or emails but nothing. I struggled to get out of bed but eventually I did and slipped into my bunny slippers. Mmmm... So comfy. I walk to the bathroom and look at the mirror. I take a deep breath and say to myself,

"There is nothing to worry about. It's just a normal day at school. Nothing too big,"

Except that I am starting Year 10 today and in a few years, I'll be at university and have to live by myself.

"Okay, calm down Zoe, nothing to worry about."

I quickly washed my face with some cold water and went downstairs for some breakfast. My mum and dad were already downstairs in the kitchen. I grabbed a piece of toast from a plate on the table and spread some butter on it and took a seat. My mum gave me a cup of juice.

"So, are you nervous?" she asked me, looking very concerned.

I answered back with a "Mmm-hmm," with my mouth closed as I was still eating my toast, "Yeah, sure." I said without staring at her.

Joe came down and he can barely keep his eyes open. Incase you're wondering, Joe is my younger brother, short for Joseph. "Morning." Joe yawned and sat down next to me, waiting for his breakfast. He's starting Year 9 today and he doesn't even care, it's just a normal school day for him. I wish that I had that kind of attitude.

I check the time and it's already 7:15. I start school at 8:30am so I don't mind. I quickly finish my breakfast and go back to my room and pick out my outfit. We have to wear a uniform at my school so I get my grey skirt, my matching blazer, plain black tights, a plain white collared shirt, tank top and tie out of my wardrobe. I lay them out on my bed and go to the bathroom to take a shower and brush my teeth. I come back into my room and put on my uniform. I tie my hair up into a simple high ponytail. I check my messages and emails again but nope, nothing again. I decide to write a blog post since I'm ready.

Hello World!

It's me again. I just thought that I would post something today since it's the first day of school. I'm so nervous because today I'm starting Year 10. I decided to write How To Survive The First Day Of School so if any of you guys are starting school today then I hope that this helps...

1. Pretend that it is just another day of school
2. Get ready the night before
3. Have a good breakfast
4. Smile
5. Do not complain
6. Try to make a good first impression on new teachers or new friends
7. Don't judge your new teachers too harshly
8. Make sure to have some money with you incase you need it
9. Try not to get lost when you are going to a new class
10. Try to make some new friends if you're going to a new school

I hope that I have nothing to worry about. If any of you guys are starting school today then I hope that you have a great time. Sorry for a short blog post but I have to leave soon.
Love, Zoella Xx

I press 'publish' and then I close my laptop lid. I put it away into my laptop case and slip it under my pillow. I grab my bag and everything I need for the day and rush downstairs. I say goodbye to my mum and dad. Joe is probably still getting ready so I leave without him. I open the front door and walk outside. Let's make this day a good one.
