Chapter 2

The next morning I woke up feeling really good and happy. I went downstairs after doing my morning routines. I saw a note on the dining table from my parents. It said they had to go somewhere out of town and would come back late so I should have fun and relax. Yeah so typical of them. I mean seriously, on a Sunday, like come on its family day. Oh well. Did I mention we're not really close anymore?
       I ate breakfast and looked for something to do. I tried watching TV but i had no interest in any of the shows. I went to clean the house. After that I was back to being bored. I remembered the look on my parents face when we moved in two days ago. It was weird as if they were attached to the house somehow. And also, since  we moved in, I've been feeling this kind of small emptiness. I don't understand but it feels.................. strange.
      I took a walk outside and wow this is a really really reeeaaaally nice neighborhood. I went to an eatery not so far and ordered some desserts. I ate some there and asked for the rest to be packed. I started going back home. I was admiring some flowers on the porch of a house three blocks away from mine and saw someone looking at me. The person smiled. It was a guy around my age or a year older, I don't know, I'm not so good at telling people's ages. So as I was saying this guy was staring at me. I smiled back and left. I walked further than usual and passed my house just in case, you know, he was following me or something. When I was sure I wasn't being followed, I went back home.
         I suddenly remembered I was starting school tomorrow. Ahhhhhh seriously. I went to my room to get things ready. I waited for my parents to come back. They returned around 6pm. I greeted them. We made dinner and retired to our beds. I woke up the next morning. I wasn't so scared but I was tensed somehow. I prayed, got dressed and went downstairs. I greeted my mum and dad. We had breakfast and they said they were dropping me at school. When we got there, like wow, there were so many people.  The school was about a 17 minutes walk from my house. I told my parents goodbye. They gave me few advises and I thanked them and bid them goodbye.
      I asked some students where the admin office was and thankfully they were nice enough to show me. I got my time table, locker and other stuff. The admin officer asked a student to show me the way to my locker which I was grateful for. The girl seemed nice. She said her name was Ellie, I told her my name and we kept on walking and talking. When we got there I found out her locker was just 2 lockers away from mine. She asked what I had first period and I said maths. She said she had same. Everyone looked pretty familiar with the school and I was like the only new one. I didn't want any attention so I just rolled with the flow.
          We had a general assembly in the gym. Everyone went. Some people were chatting, some were pressing their phones and stuff. The principal came to welcome us all to a new session. Then she said this " So students I have news for you. We have in our midst a new student all the way from Provo, Miss Estafania Sandoval. Please come up Estafania". I stood there with my mouth hung a bit open. Well so much for not wanting any attention. I walked up to the stage and was given the microphone. Then I said " Good Morning everyone, I'm Estafania Sandoval. I just moved here from Mexico and its nice to meet you all". Some students including Ellie clapped, some kept on chatting, some rolled their eyes and I was like " well better than I expected ". Not to the microphone though.
      After the assembly, I went to my locker with Ellie. Well she came to walk with me so what could I say? We grabbed our maths book and she led the way to the class. All the classes went pretty smoothly. About three periods later, we had lunch. I brought my food from home cause I don't really trust cafeteria food. I sat on an empty table and ate quietly while pressing my phone. I know its bad manners but I was bored. Few minutes later Ellie came with a girl who she introduced as Alicia. The girl, well Alicia, greeted me and I greeted her back and told her my name is Estafania but she could call me Stefy for short. We all talked and stuff then before we knew it the lunch break was over. I had biology next so we said our farewells. I went to my locker to get my biology note and textbook. As I was going someone ran into me. He was like "Hey there newbie, watch where you're going" and I was like " Excuse me?".
