"Georgia! Honey, I'm home!" My mother calls out from the kitchen.
"Ok mum! I'll be down soon!" I call back. I stare at the mirror, one arm around my stomach and the other one stroking my new hair. She will freak, but in a good way. My stomach churns one more time and I wince before taking several deep breaths. I think those eggs are coming back to haunt me... I shake my head clear, and head down stairs.
My kitchen is quite small, smaller than many of the peers, I think. I have never actually been to anyone else's house since grade 3. I see my mum cooking macaroni and cheese. Yes,I think to myself. My mum makes the best mac and cheese ever. I stand in front of the kitchen, waiting for her to turn around and notice my hair. Several minutes past and she still has her back turned to me. I decide to cough once, then twice, then three times. Only when I cough four times and really loudly does she actually turn around. "Oh my! Have you got a cold - OH MY GOD, WHEN DID YOU GET YOUR HAIRCUT!" She squealed in glee.
"Umm, today." I say smiling. This is the happiest I have seen y mum in ages.
"Let me see closer. She comes right up close, scanning the ends, the colour and the style. She then scans my face, stopping at my eyes. "When... when were your eyes so blue?" She asks, sounding confused. I laugh at her,
"They have always been blue mum, but I got contacts today. Instead of glasses, I hope that's ok."
"Yes, its fine! As long as you know the rules of wearing them. But... didn't you have a phobia of them?"
"I never had a phobia, I was just a little nervous about getting them. Plus, they are a really pretty colour." I say. My mum nods in agreement.
"Go get the camera and I'll finish dinner. Take a couple photo's then lets eat." She instructs. I follow her orders. I grab our blue Sony camera, take a couple of selfies - some with quite unusual faces - and sit down to eat. I dig into my mac and cheese, holy cow its so good. I accidently forgot about my queasy stomach and took several big mouthfuls. When I say big, I mean big. Someone inside my body clicks and my back straightens abruptly. "Whaa-" my mum starts, before I bolt to the bathroom. I guess raw eggs don't like macaroni and cheese. But I don't think raw eggs like anything, or anything likes it. Kind of like Charlotte. I drop to my knees in front of the toilet and begin hurling up everything. I swear I lost like a kidney in there. My mum rushes up and holds my hair back. "Aw, sweetie. Go to bed, you don't have to go to school tomorrow." She says soothingly.
"But mum-" I begin my usual protest. I like going to school, and I hate missing classes. Its like, every time I miss a day, BOOM they learn the most important thing. Every time. But my brains puts 2 and 2 together, and I figure out that having a day off would really help me prepare. I mean, I will be home alone and what happens at home, stays at home...
I am tucked into my bed, my covers up to my chin. I feel absolutely fine now, I probably just had to get those eggs out of my system; but I'm not telling mum that. No, I need that day off. I stare at the ceiling. I have never said that before. I close my eyes and imagine myself at school. People staring, in both ways, and Charlotte, making a little put face that princesses do when they don't get their way. I am nearly asleep when my mind ticks onto a subject, that I want to let go, but can't. What if I get asked out? I'm not saying I'll look that good but still, there is always a possibility that I could. Would I say yes or no. Obviously I had to like them, didn't I? I think I did. You know what, I think to myself, I'll just wing it.
And with that thought...I feel asleep.

Ok! Done! I know it is short, please forgive me but the next chapter will be pretty eventful. I'm thinking of just doing her day tomorrow, but can you comment your opinions. Should I just do her day tomorrow, or should I do her first day at school? I'm really undecided, Please help!
