Her First Day
My name is Mercedes, I am a teen Minnesotan girl. I'm a little shy, a little sassy, funny, friendly, kind and loyal. I have been told that I am very beautiful and attractive, but I usually feel shy or embarrassed when I get complimented on my appearance. My eyes are a very pretty shade of a light honey brown with a touch of Amber. My skin is on the lighter side with a little bit of a tanned tone. I have nice, full and pouty shaped lips. My freckled face is framed by curly, long brownish-auburn colored hair. I am not super tall, maybe 5'04? I have a perfect hourglass figure to pull this all together. I kind of admire my curves and... assets.
Looking in the mirror, I feel a little nervous. Oh my gosh... my first day of high school... and it's a public school. There are a lot of students. This is going to be a change from the small private school I attended last year. Did I mention that I'm nervous? I take a deep breath and exhale slowly to try to settle my nerves. I grab the tube of mascara from my makeup drawer. I have long eyelashes so I usually just need to put on one or two coats of mascara and I look pretty good. Sometimes I will straighten my hair but today I don't feel like putting much effort into it, so I put my long wavy hair into a high ponytail.
I am done getting ready but I find myself staring into the mirror in front of me. I let my mind wander... A wave of anxiety comes over me, I think I have watched too many movies and TV shows about life in high school over the summer. Are people going to like me? Is there going to be bullies? Snobby and entitled girls? Am I going to get picked on? My head is spinning.
I snap out of it when I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. It's my boyfriend, Lukas. Luke is so hot. He is probably 6 feet tall. He is italian and hispanic. We met when I was 5 years old. He was my neighbor. He has the most intense chocolate brown eyes. His jet black hair is always perfect, I don't know what his secret is but he definitely knows how to style it. He has a very sexy and muscular build. There is definitely no lack of female attention towards him. Sometimes it makes me jealous but he always reminds me about how attractive I am and how much he loves me. He says he only has eyes for me. He's so sweet. I answer my phone. Luke says, "Hey Baby. Just making sure you're still alive. Haha just kidding. I'm almost at your house. Are you okay?" I remained silent for a second. He always seems to be so intuned with my emotions and how i'm feeling, even if he wasn't physically with me. I realized that I didn't respond when Luke spoke again, "Baby? You good?" I smiled, "Yeah Babe. I'm just nervous about school." I hear a small laugh on the phone. With a playful yet reassuring tone Luke says, "You watch too much TV my love. You will be amazing because you are amazing. If anyone gives that pretty ass of yours any issues you know me and the guys got you. This will be great. I'm excited for this. Besides, Coach already has interest in me being the quarterback for the football team. You'll be the quarterback's girl. That's a good thing... right? I promise, I got you. I will be there in like 5 minutes. Te Amo." Uhhh... See what I mean? He is so sweet. I let out a small sigh of relief, "Thanks Babe. See you soon." I finished getting dressed, grab my backpack and head downstairs. Here we go...
I sit on the couch and mess around on my phone waiting for Luke. He is right.I'm going into high school with an amazing boyfriend and great friends. I think about my friends... Austyn, Casey, and Jay. They were friends with Luke but since Luke and I have history they became my friends too. Austyn is one of my best friends. He is tall and muscular like Luke. His rich brown eyes are hard to look at for longer than three seconds without me feeling flustered and looking away, but I think he has that effect on all girls. He has chestnut brown hair that always looks effortlessly perfect. He is athletic like Luke but also creative. He likes music, singing, and dancing. I met him a year ago but I was instantly drawn to him. He's great. Jay is your classic american boy. He is also tall but not as tall as Luke and Austyn. He has green eyes, Dirty blonde hair, and an athletic build. He loves camping, fishing, hunting, and hiking. He just loves the outdoors. Casey is definitely the pretty boy type. He has an amazing sense of style. He looks like one of the guys out of a Hollister ad. He has blonde hair, blue eyes, and perfect teeth. Like the other guys he is tall with an athletic build. He is extremely intelligent. He doesn't look like it but he loves reading books, he is a little book worm. He always tells everybody that he knows a lot about a lot. These are my boys, My friends. I wouldn't trade them for anything. Knowing that we are all going to the same school helps me feel a little more relaxed. I won't be alone and surrounded by strangers in a new, big school.
My train of thought comes to a halt as I feel my phone vibrate again. It's a text from Austyn, 'Hey. How you feeling short stack? You ready for today. Gotta admit, I am a lil nervous but also excited." Before I can reply I get another text. Luke is here. I grab a quick snack and a can of Soda and head towards the door. I stop as I unlock the door. You got this girl... I take a deep breath and leave the house.
Luke is in the driveway standing by his black Mazda. He is standing by the passenger door. He looks up from his phone and looks at me with a huge smile as he says, "Damn, Yoga pants, my hoodie, your body.... fuckin perfection." He wraps his arms around me and sweetly kisses my forehead and the tip of my nose. I scrunch my nose a little. He smiles at me and opens the car door for me. He gets in his car and we pull out of the driveway... We leave for our first day of High school. Yikes, here goes nothing...
