The First

    Looking in the mirror I feel nervous. First day of high school. I am a very pretty girl, some say too pretty. I have light brown eyes, soft sun kissed skin, and nice pouty lips with a perfect hourglass figure to pull it all together. I just have never felt confident in myself, even though many people would compliment my appearance. I finish putting on some mascara then toss it on to the bathroom counter. I don't feel like I look nice but I shrug my shoulders and I throw my long auburn hair up in to a high ponytail. I look in to the mirror, in silence. I feel dissatisfied. I think about all the pretty girls that I see on the high school based TV shows. Am I going to get bullied? Am I going to be accepted? Am I going to make new friends? Will people like me?      My head starts to spin then I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. I see its my boyfriend, Lukas, calling. Luke is a very attractive person, standing at almost six feet tall with the most beautiful and rich brown eyes. With his muscular build, tan skin, and jet black hair, hes enough to make any girl swoon Oh, and hes from Mexico and speaks Spanish, which drives me crazy, in a good way. I answer and my boyfriend says, "Hey baby. Just wanted to make sure you are still alive! Haha! Kidding babe, but for real. You good? I'm almost at your house." I was silent for a second. I always found it so weird how he knew how I felt, even if he wasn't with me. "Babe?" Luke says. I snap out of it again and say, "I'm sorry. I'm just nervous about today. What if...." Luke interrupts and says, "No 'what ifs' you will be great baby girl. If anyone gives that pretty ass of yours any s**t me n the guys got you. I will see you soon baby, Te amo."     I finish getting dressed  and went down to the living room. I sat on the couch to wait for Luke. Talking to him comforts me. Compared to before our phone call I feel a lot more calm. My mind drifts off, I think about the guys. Luke, Austyn, Jay, and Casey. My loyal friends. Austyn, one of my best friends is very kind. He is also tall like Luke. His brown eyes are difficult to look at for longer than 3 seconds without getting flustered. His rich brown hair, tan skin, and athletic build is enough to keep me secretly crushing on him since I met him a year ago. Unlike Luke, who is very athletic, Austyn is very creative and artistic. He loves music. He enjoys singing and dancing. Jay is the classic American boy. He is tall, but not as tall as Luke and Austyn but still has a decent height. He has intense green eyes, a bright smile, Dirty blonde hair, with an athletic build. Jay enjoys hiking, camping, fishing, and hunting. He loves the outdoors. Casey is quite the pretty boy type. He has a great sense of style, like the men out of magazines. He has blonde hair, blue eyes, perfect teeth, and nice sun kissed skin. Like the rest of the guys, he has an athletic build. He is very intelligent and smart, he doesn't look like it but he enjoys reading books, he is a little bookworm. He always says that he knows a lot about a lot. Whatever that means! These are my boys, my best friends. I wouldn't trade them for anything. Thinking about them more and knowing that we are all going to the same school provides me with a little more comfort and  confidence.     My very long train of thought comes to a screeching halt. My phone goes off again. It's a text from Austyn. "You ready for today? I'm excited but a little nervous." Before I could reply another text from Luke comes in. He's waiting in my driveway. I grab a Granola Bar and a can of soda and I head towards the door. I reach for the door handle but I stop for a second. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I tell myself out loud, "I'll be fine..." I open the door and see Luke standing by his black Mazda. He walks up to me and gives me a hug. He says, "Que pasa mami, I never knew leggings and a t-shirt could look THAT good. Dios mio!" He opens my door and we leave for the first day of high school. Here goes nothing........
