KATHERINE WELTS

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
The annoying sound of my alarm clock fills my ears and I groan in annoyance, then turn to check the time; 6:45 a.m. ugh ! It's too early for this. But, sadly, I need to get up, I can't be late for my first day at LeCaron public high school.
After hitting snooze for the 7th time and staying in bed for 5 more minutes after that, I finally get up and head towards my bedrooms bathroom to shower. I strip out of my batman pyjamas then turn on the hot water and hop in. As I let the soothing water hit my body, I put my chocolate orange scented shampoo and conditioned in my hair. After I shave my legs and wash the rest of my face and body, I turn off the water, hop out of the shower, and wrap a towel around my hair and body.
I prance in to my walk in closet and turn on some music while I'm at it. The song: recking ball, by Miley Cyrus starts to play and I sing at the top of my lungs.

"I CAME IN LIKE A RECKING BALL!!!" I sing completely on key.
Now to find what to wear.
Dress?
No.
Skirt?
No.
Blouse?
No.
I finally decide on some black skinny jeans, my MARVLE sweatshirt and black high tops. It is currently fall so I'm dressed in cold weather clothes.
I walk out of my closet to go do my hair and makeup. I decide to curl my hair in to little ringlets and put some white eye shadow and a little mascara. I like to keep it natural.
Now I bet you're all wondering who I am. Right? Well let me tell you...
The name is Katherine Destiny Welts. But people usually give me nicknames like kitty for example. I have red hair that goes down to mid torso, and vibrant green eyes. I'm very short. I'm only 5'1". I live with my mother, Andréa Welts and my older brother, David Welts. My father died in the army, or so we've been told. we never got to see a body because his troop never found one. We just assume he's dead. It's been a year and a half since he's gone. Ok. Ok. I'm going to keep the subject on my living family members. My fathers death brings up too many emotions that I would like to keep hidden. So on to my brother. My brother has blonde hair and blue eyes and he's very over protective of me. He looks a lot like my mother. They look identical, except for the fact that he's tall and she's short. He is 6 foot tall and can get any girl with the snap of his fingers. It's disgusting. But what can I do? I live with the guy. So now here's my moms information. My mother is a little taller then me. She's about 5'4". She has blonde hair and blue eyes like David and she's a hard working mother. Me, well I resemble my father except for the fact that I'm short. I'm what some people call a nerd. I'm obedient, get straight A's and I stay out of trouble. I had never had a boyfriend and I love to write, read, dance and sing. at my old school in Quebec City I used to get bullied. There's no doubt that it's going to happen here too.
We decide to move here, in Ontario, because my mom got a job offer and took the job, making me leave the only friend I had. His name was Lucas Brown and he was my ultimate best friend and secret crush. I'm still mad at mom for that .

After I'm done getting ready, I wait for David downstairs to drive us to school. David's in his last year of high school and I'm in my before last year, making him 1 year older then me.
" David! What's taking you so long!? We're going to be late for our first day!" I shout at him impatiently.
"I'm coming, I'm coming! Sheesh. it takes time to look this good!" He shouts while running down the stairs and shooting me a teasing wink. I take I. His appearance. His shirt is a v neck and is grey, and he is wearing his dark jeans with black and red converse shoes.
"Let's go." I say while rolling my eyes . What a loser.
I start walking towards his blue mustang that he got for his birthday this year. Lucky kid. He doesn't even let me drive it. Plus, I didn't even get a car for my birthday .

As we drive in to the school parking lot I can't help but notice how much bigger this school is compared to our old one.

It's huge!!! (A.N that's what she said...)

"Whoa!" David and I whisper at the same time while getting out of the car. David comes to my side and kisses me on the forehead in a brotherly manner.
"See you later shrimp." he says before going his separate ways.
"Hey! I'm not short! I'm fun-sized!" I shout at the walking figure. Then I turn towards the school.
To say I'm nervous would be an understatement. I am truly horrified. There are students everywhere. There is practically no room to breath. Ok I might be a little over exaggerating but I'm panicking to say the least.
I walk with my head down as I hear the whispers and gossip about me erupt throughout the school. and it wasn't even good gossip either. They were talking about how nerdy I look or how 'fat' I am when I'm not even fat. I weigh 100 pounds people! I mean come on!
I make my way to the front office to get my schedule, when I notice a boy with brown hair and blue eyes with an ice pack to one if his eyes sitting in one of the office chairs. I ignore him and go to the secretary.
"Hi! May I help you, young lady?" The secretary asks with a smile that could brighten a room.
"Um.... yes you could. I'm new here and I need my uh, my, uh, sc- schedule. My name is uh, Katherine Welts." I stutter. I feel my cheeks turn red from embarrassment. Damn stuttering.
"Oh yes! Here it is! Have a good day sweetie!" She said handing me the paper then turning her back to me. I mumble a thanks then start to walk towards the guy with the ice pack.
"What um, happened to you? If you don't mind me asking." I ask the boy.
"I got into a fight with the schools 'bad boy' , Damon Fallon. Here's a tip. Don't get on his bad side. In fact, just stay away from him." He grumbled while putting quotation marks with his fingers around the word bad boy.
