The bright sunlight from outside bathed my bedroom. I rubbed my eyes and sat up. Reaching over to the nightstand beside my bed, I grabbed my black framed glasses. Every morning it's been the same, waking up, eating breakfast, watching television, work on drawings, and repeat. Today, it's different. I have school today. No, I'm not going to go on about how much I hate school, because I don't. I find school extremely interesting, to be honest. Learning about space, art and talk to friends in eight hours? Sounds perfect. One problem, the only friend I have is my neighbour, Ray Toro. A sweetheart, I tell you. He told me he would let me meet his friend at school, so I never saw them over the summer.
I jumped out of my bed and went downstairs to make myself breakfast. Dad would always be too hungover to help me do anything in the morning, making me do everything by myself. After mom died it's been hard on the family, dad especially. Night after night, he would get drunk, to the point of me and my brother shaking in a locked room. Fear, the only emotion we felt during that time.

'Nick and Mark are bringing me. By the way, I need to borrow your bike.' I nodded, grabbing cereal and pouring milk in as well. Taking a bite of my cereal, I looked at the time. '7:34'. Sighing, I quickly finished my food and threw the bowl and spoon into the sink. Running to my room, I picked out my clothes. Black skirt with overalls, white t-shirt, black beanie and pink converse. Profusely thinking about what Ray's friends will think about me. First impressions leave a big impact, you know? Walking out of the house, I began to go to Ray's house to see if he wants to walk to school with
“Chloe move it, you take up the space for both of our lockers.” Annie said pushing Chloe out of the way.
Soggy streets, bland houses, and terrified citizens fill Rivertown, Virginia. Dark, gloomy weather has been rampaging since the death of a freshman at Rivertown High School, six months ago. The leafy, emerald pines that make up the forests of this small city, have been dulled by the rain and lightning. These forests are now considered dangerous due to the mud, roots, and the hills that are scattered across the land. Disappearances of more high schoolers in the area have the whole state terrified.
I look out the window above the sink as my mom replies. "Ok, sounds fine, bring a swimsuit, and that light purple sweater for night time, and hiking boots and old sneakers, and LOTS of socks, and-" I listen to her as I search out the window for nothing in particular, until I see a movement in the window of Camden's house on the first floor. I stare at it as my mom drones on, and Camden emerges from behind the curtain and waves creepily.
I hate school, I mean everything is going wrong. Robbin has now got a boyfriend, his name is Jack and I personally think he is a jerk. He is one of those guys at high school that you would find surrounded by cheerleaders. Oh did I mention, he is the captain of the football team? what a jerk. Okay actually, Jack is a really nice guy, very popular as he is the captain of the football team, no wonder Robbin likes him. I mean look at me, I am the kid you would find in high school, oh wait I am the kid in highschool who you won't even notice. Right now as I am writing I can feel my veins popping out as my blood rushes through my face. Could this day get any worse?. Oh did I mention, Robbin is my best friend?. We have been best friends for a very
It wasn’t the first day of school, and it was no longer my new school. It was just an average day in high school. I went to my classes and took in depth notes, the only class I was looking forward to was AP English and it was cancelled for the day, due to Mr. Peters’ health. Even lunch was boring. Anna had band practice, so I found myself a seat in the cafeteria by myself. Even though English was cancelled I still expected to see Tanner around the school. Yesterday it seemed impossible not to run into the kid, but today he was just as good as being invisible as I was. Not one time did I even hear a mention of Tanner or Grace. It was if yesterday never happened and they had never
So school was a flop. I figured everybody would ignore me since I was the new kid. I guess this school likes picking on newbies. Worst first day ever. Figured if i’m going to live with Cora for a while might as well make the best of it. “Hey Cora. I don’t think I made a good first impression. Can I start over?” I asked.
"Sometimes you gotta let something bad happen, or else you wont know how to fix things when they go wrong later."
Mino has one of those mornings (today) where everything is just so wrong and it feels like it’s the worst day ever. Why is it among many other times, it should be this day, his first day of school in one of the most killer professor’s class.
Hansly soon followed her, but before he did he stare at Joshua with extreme disappointment. His dark brown eyes left Joshua stunned, as he never seen him so upset about anything. Joshua turned his face toward the window and starred at the atmosphere where he saw a gray clouds shrouding the blue and sunlit sky with a frigid air. As the bus stopped at Detroit Cristo Rey High School, Joshua then proceeded to go to his homeroom class where he would find his friends and try to apologize to them for his actions. As he enters the classroom he only found Rose, his father, and his teacher, Mr. Peter, conversing to each other.
Here I am. In a small town in the middle of Colorado at my new school. It’s my first day and I’m already sweating. I guess it makes sense, since I’m an elemental. The bell rings and I rush inside. Even though there are so many people I feel alone and excluded.
Ding Ding Ding. All the students were dismissed from their 7th- period class. Finally, I get to go home! After I packed up all my things to go home I walk out to go home. Then I see two 8th graders trying to steal stuff from a 6th grader. “These kids are crazy they do this to everybody. They have been through this before and they know how it feels to be bullied so why do they do this to other people." I walked past them quickly and quietly so they won’t bother me. I see my friend ahead and yell “Hi Alex”
How to Survive High School Rule 10: Beware the main hallway. It’s a lot like traffic. It will surely test your patience. Especially when there’s that one group walking slower than a snail. We all wanna scream, we know, we know.
“It most certainly is not,” retorted Phillie. “Freddie is that terrible man from those awful movies made years ago. The man who would attack children in their sleep.”
I’ve always been known as a nerd, a good girl, a teacher’s pet; but yesterday, that all changed.
"What?" I murmured. I opened my left eye slightly, only to see my best friend sitting beside me and the whole classroom looking at me with widened eyes.
