New beginnings
Ava stood outside the imposing high school building, her stomach doing flips. She had always dreamed of this moment, but now that it was finally here, she felt like a tiny boat adrift in a stormy sea. Her mom gave her a reasoning smile and a gentle push forward.
"Go get 'em, kiddo! "her mom said
Ava took a deep breath and stepped into the unknown.
As she walked through the crowded hallways, Ava's eyes scanned the sea of unfamiliar faces, she spotted a group of seniors laughing and joking, their confidence and camaraderie making her feel even more like an outsider.
Ava's phone buzzed with a text from her best friend, Mia : "Hey girl ! Good luck on your first day ! Meet me at lunch?"
Ava smiled, feeling a surge of relief. At least she had Mia to navigate this new world with.
The bell rang, signaling the start of her first class. Ava took another deep breath and pushed open the door to her new life.
The class teacher quickly led her to her seat. "shushhh, students."
Ava, please introduce yourself, "the teacher said!
Hi! my name is Ava Ace. she said with a tremendous voice.
Decorum, please, "she shouted.
Ava took a deep breath and carefully caressed her skirt, as she sat down.
Ava pulled out her notebook from her luxurious school bag.
Oops, she sighed. As she searched for her pen.
