Born again

Hurry up or you’re gonna be late. My mother called to me from down stairs. I’m coming. I yell back as I start to brush my silky black hair. I look at myself in the mirror. I thought about changing my blue crop top sweater to a black one. In the end I kept the blue one because it went best with the black ripped jeans. I hurry up and put some black winged eyeliner and some lip gloss on before running downstairs. As I get down stairs I meet my mother trying to get my brother out of the house and on the bus. My brother is older than me he is 17 and I’m only 15. His name is Charlie Van Horn. Charlie has dirty blonde curly hair and dark brown eyes. As for me I have black long straight hair and dark blue eyes. My brother and I don’t look like siblings but we do act like siblings. As my mother was going through the checklist of the things I needed for my first day of sophomore year. Do you have everything you need sweetie? My mother asked brushing a strand of curly hair away from her face. My mother is 5’5 with curly black hair. She has dark brown eyes. Yes mom I have everything. I say as my father walks in giving my mother a kiss on the cheek. I’m just making sure sweetie. She’s said putting my lunch in a brown paper bag. Good morning baby. My father said as he walked over and hugged me. Good morning dad. I say hugging him back. My mother looked at me with a concerned look in her eyes. Sweetie are you sure you don’t want to be homeschooled? I can arrange it. She said hoping I would reconsider going to school. Sweetheart she will be fine. She is 15 she needs to go to school and make friends. My father said reassuring her I will be fine. He’s right mom I didn’t go to school last year which means this is my first time in an actual high school. I say hoping she would change the subject. My alarm goes off telling me I need to go to school. Dad can you drive me to school? I ask grabbing my lunch. Yes of course sweetie. He says grabbing the keys. Me and my father walk to the car and leave. We pull up to the school and I give my dad a kiss on the cheek. Bye sweetheart have a good day at school. He said before I left the car. Bye. I call back at him. I walk up the stairs to the entrance door and walk in. The school is huge and is crowded full of people. I start walking through the crowd of loud kids talking. I mange to find the principle’s office. Uhm hi, I’m new here and I need my locker number and schedule. I ask very nervously. Oh of course here you go. If you ever need anything just come up here and ask. The principal say’s politely while handing me my locker combination and my schedule. Yes ma’am. I say turning around to walk out of the office. I continue walking down the hall trying to find my locker. A girl walks up to me. Hey are you new here? I’ve like never seen you here before? The girl asks. Oh yes please. I’m looking for locker 247. I say hoping she knows where it is. Oh yeah follow me also welcome to Summerville HS. She says taking my hand. She leads me to the locker. Thank you Ms? I ask in a question sorta way. I’m Jenna Horton. Jenna says pulling some of her long blonde hair behind her ear. Cool I’m Victoria or Vic for short. I smile while saying it. So since you’re new you wanna be friends? Jenna blurted out. Oh yeah of course I would love that. I say laughing and smiling a little. Jenna was the first friend I’ve made in a while. She has long blonde hair and bright blue eyes. Jenna and I start walking to our first class that we had together. So our first class is History and the teacher is a pain, but don’t worry he’s not hard to pass. Jenna says assuring me that he isn’t hard to work for. As we walk into the class the teacher greats us. Hello everyone my name is Mr Simpson and it’s nice to meet all of y’all. I will be giving y’all the class to meet everyone so have fun. He says gesturing his hand around. Everyone starts talking to everyone. Jenna turns around and we start talking. So Victoria what do you enjoy doing? She asks curiously. Oh I like painting and writing. I sometimes go to the park and read. I say happy that I have finally made a friend. Oh okay that’s fun. I like drawing and going shopping. Jenna says. We talk until the class is over. The bell rings and we all get up and go to our next class. Hey so what’s your next class Victoria? Jenna asks getting up with her stuff heading towards the door. Oh I have English. I say following her. Oh okay well I will see you at lunch then. I have math. Jenna says groaning in disappointment. I laugh a little. Bye Jenna. I call out. Bye Victoria. She calls back out. I start walking trying to find my English class. I accidentally bump into somebody dropping my books. Oh my god I’m so sorry. I say rambling about how sorry I was. As I look up I see a tall mysterious man. This man had curly short dark brown hair that covers his forehead. He had dark brown eyes that matched his eyes. He wore a plain black shirt that fit him perfectly. Along with that he wore black shaggy jeans with converse. It’s okay pretty lady. He says helping me pick up my books. As he helped me pick up my books we stare into each other’s eyes for a a moment longer than necessary. We stand up and he hands me the books that I dropped. Thank you. I say breaking eye contact. Anytime pretty lady. He says trying to be charming. I have to go to class but I’ll see you around. I say starting to walk past time. Hopefully pretty lady. He call out to me. When he called after me i smiled until i got to English. As I get into class the teacher introduced himself. Hello everyone I am Mr Horst. I hope we all have a good year. We are gonna start with a small project. This project will be about yourself and the things you like to do. Mr Horst says grabbing project paper and handing it out. Everyone can get started. He added after he handed all the supplies out. I start on my project until the bell rings for lunch. I walk until I find the cafeteria. I spot Jenna with some friends. I walk over there and tap her shoulder. Hey Jenna. I say with a sigh of relief I actually found her. Hey Victoria! She said with a little higher volume as if she was happy to see me. She pulled me into a hug covering me with her beautiful rose scent. So what’s for lunch I’m starving. I say complaining. She chuckles. Nothing good just stupid pizza and cheeseburgers. She says with a disgusted look on her face. You don’t like pizza? I ask surprised. No I don’t but I do like cheeseburgers so I’m fine with today’s lunch. Jenna said reluctantly. Me personally I love pizza! I say with a dramatic effect.
