Callie Rose

Chapter 4

Callie's POV

I wake up feeling anxious, it's my first day of real school ever and I did not understand what to expect apart from the things Luna told me about what highschool was like I couldn't really do much but hope for the best, I only hoped the people were nice enough, I knew I was a bit awkward when it came to interacting with other people and I was hoping people didn't see right through me and label me as the weird girl so no one would want to be friends with me.

I didn't mind if no one wanted to be my friend, I couldn't force them too after all, if they didn't like me then I would understand, but it would be nice to have some friends I could talk to sometimes, I'd never had any close or real friends before so it would be nice to make some.

The night before I was so excited for my first day I set an alarm for exactly 6:00 a.m so I would have enough time to get ready, I even picked out my clothes and set it out so I wouldn't have to look for anything and make myself late.

After taking a quick shower and brushing my teeth, I slip on my clothes grab my backpack making my way downstairs to have a quick breakfast before I left for school.

I plop down the stairs checking to see if my parents were home, I was hoping to get to talk to them before I headed off to school, I could really use some encouragement and even a pep talk from them.

Just as I get to the last step of the stairs I peep my head around the wall, expecting both my parents to be seated and drinking a cup of coffee but I am met with an empty house, a frown graces my lips.

I was really hoping to see them before I left, my sadness quickly leaves me though, maybe they were busy, I couldn't expect them to be there for me 24/7 could I?

With that thought in mind I open up the fridge and find a banana, I wasn't really hungry and I decided I would maybe stop for a coffee on my way to school seeing it was still early and stuff.

I go outside; the weather was pretty nice today which I was grateful for because I really didn't feel like having to wear a jacket; I take a moment to just bask in the sunlight and admire the day, I still couldn't believe I was going to be going to school now I was beyond grateful to my parents and I didn't think I would ever stop.

"Are you ready to leave now Ms. Anderson?" The driver asks me looking at me expectantly.

"oh-uh yes sorry, I just got a bit carried away back there" my voice comes out apologetic as I grasp my bag closer to my body and strut to the car.

I decided against asking him to stop for a coffee, he already seemed a bit tense; I didn't want to stress him out more than he seemed and I wasn't really that hungry I could still hold out till lunch.

After a while we pull up to my school, I thank him and get out of the car, my shaky hands closing the door behind me, the driver zooms off after telling me he'll be back to pick me up soon and tells me to let him know in case I have to be back later than my original time.

I nervously stare at the students and teachers that are buzzing in and out of the building, I thought I was going to be really excited but now that I'm actually here I realize I was actually really nervous; I feel a vibrating sensation on my lap which startles me since I was so engrossed with staring at the people; I realize my phone was ringing, which was weird because the only contacts I had were my parents and I was sure they were busy.

I look at my the caller I.D and see that my mother is calling me, feeling excited I quickly swipe to the right, answering her call, for the first time in a long time I was really hoping to hear her voice. Maybe something she said would calm my nerves.
