My new school
Ellen woke up to the shouting voice of her mother ". Wake up, Ellen! time to go to school. You don't want to be late for your first day at college, do you? Ellen groaned in frustration, stretched, and got up. She went to the bathroom room, did her business, and came out to dress. She opened her closet and took out a jumpsuit.
She didn't know what to wear on her first day so she wore it and applied just an eyeliner.
She didn't like using makeup because her mom always says she looked like an angel even without make-up.
But for the sake of her going to college, which is Harvard, one of the best Universities in the world. "Who knows what will happen on my first day, Ellen thought.
She pulled up her hair into a ponytail. Ellen was satisfied with how she looked when she looked in the mirror. She takes her backpack and goes downstairs for breakfast.
"Good morning Mom?" She greets.
"Well hello dear, you look so beautiful today I hope you are not tempted to steal other girls' boyfriends on your first day in college she said playfully ".
Sharon wants Ellen to get a boyfriend because she is now Eighteen years and needs a little romance in her life. "What am I going to do with a boyfriend, mom? All boys are annoying and I don't think I will be able to love even one of them. Perhaps I am destined to die alone", she says dramatically.
"Oh don't be silly Ellen, Sharon says. You haven't met the right boy that's why you are saying that. One day you will meet a boy who will make your heart accelerate just like I did when I met your father".
"Who knows maybe your dream guy is in your new school".
Ellen turns to her mother, not every man is Dad, Mom. Ellen's father is one in a million and every day she misses him. Ellen wishes that he was still alive. She and her mother wouldn't have moved from Mexico to the states if he was there. She wouldn't have left all her friends and previous life back home to a university in another country.
"I know Ellen, I love jack as much as you do but we had to move here to start a new life.
"Now hurry up and eat your breakfast. I don't want you to be truly late on your first day in school".
Ellen nod and went to have her breakfast. When she was finished, She took her bag and went outside with her Mom. Sharon locks the doors and went into her car. " Ellen got in her car because her mother insisted on dropping her at the University on her first day. "Mom, won't you be late for work? Ellen asks.
"No, not at all, I got plenty of time. Sharon says and drove Ellen to school. The car stopped at the school entrance. Ellen looked at the school nervously but She felt a hand holding hers warmly. Sharon smiled at her assuring her that everything was going to be okay.
"Don't worry Ellen everything is going to be okay, you will be fine, she said grinning". Ellen hopes so. She gets out. She went through the gate looked back and saw her mom waving at her. She also waves back and went inside the school.
She was very nervous so I kept her head down because she didn't want to draw any unwanted attention to her. She kept walking but unexpectedly, she hits a body and fell hard on her ass. She feels her butt burning but she swallows it and apologizes.
Sorry, She says to whoever she had bumped into.
She looks up a see a pair of blue eyes that belonged to an attractive girl. She wouldn't say attractive, in fact, she was very beautiful with long tanned legs, babyface, and a cute smile. She was gorgeous.
She looked over at Ellen. Ellen thought she was about to be a b***h because that's how most of the beautiful girls in school behaved because of their good looks.
She waited for the insults but nothing came. The girl smiled showing white perfect teeth. She extended her hand to help her up. Ellen didn't trust people easily and was debating whether to take her hand or not.
Who knew what if it was a payback plot for her bumping into her.
She doubtful took her hand and she pulls me up. "it's okay is my fault I wasn't looking ahead or a wouldn't bump into you like this, She apologized.
By the way, my name is Karen Jeffrey, nice to meet you".
Eeermm am Ellen Santiago. Am a new student here. " So you just came today, it's obvious, it's silly of me for asking ".
Am a new student myself but I'm two weeks old here. She says grinning. So, can we be friends? She asked.
Ellen is new in the school and she needed a good so she said yes. It's my first day and I could use a friend.
" Okay, I got to submit my assignment so goodbye ". See you Obviously, she says smiling.
Maybe this school isn't as bad as I thought. Ellen mutters to herself before making her way to the principal's office.
