Okay... the first day.

"You can do this Gaby, just do you and rock your look and you should be fine." I say to my reflection.

I'm currently wearing a plain flimsy white long-sleeved button-up with my favorite red plaid skirt, paired with light brown knee gallate sandals (you know, those Greek-like sandals with the straps and all that).

"Damn girl, it's just high school." she says and laughs at her own joke and I just roll my eyes.

"I wasn't even trying." I say with a mock confident hair flip. I decide to just leave my hair down.

Lena is currently rocking a red halter neck paired with black palazzo and a pair of cute black slippers. She obviously wasn't in the mood for her Louboutins today.

"And you're sure I'm the one who needs to be reminded it's just high school?" I tease with a raised brow after checking out her outfit.

"Hey! I sacrificed my Louboutins for this." she turns her face away trying to look offended but ends up laughing and I join her as we walk out of my room.

We decide to just take my car instead of two separate cars. I'll never understand why people do that, waste of gas or waste of gas? We get to the parking lot about fifteen minutes before the bell would ring and quickly get out the car and head for the double doors of the school.

The most embarrassing thing that can happen to you on your first day at a new school is being introduced as the new kid. I've always felt it gives everyone a reason to just have to judge you, but do you know what's worse? Being introduced as the new kid just because you were late and trust me, you'll ALWAYS look a mess in that situation.

We quickly get our schedules for the school year and luckily for us, we share the first class so it js sort of easier to find our way around the school and eventually locate our class but sadly it is AP mathematics. Isn't exactly the class I'd want to start with on a beautiful morning like this.

"I'd like you all to welcome our two new transfer students. Miss Gabriella. Miss Selena, please can you both introduce yourselves?" I swear I could slap this guy upside the head, just when I thought we escaped that part for this class. Who brings up the new student issue at the end of a class anyway?

"Hi, I'm Selena Calloway, obvious fact, I'm new here but no, I don't want all that 'oh she's new here, let's pick on her nonsense. No, none of that. I'd say the rest but I don't think we have the time for that." Selena always the open and outgoing one says in the most authoritative voice she could muster. I chuckle and stand up to introduce myself and I feel all the eyes in the class transferring to me already.

"Hey y'all, I'm Gabriella, I'd say more but I don't think anything else should be public knowledge, so yah, let's skip all that. Thank you." I finish with the sweetest smile I can muster and take my seat.

The teacher rambles on some more about stuff we wouldn't even need in the real world before the bell for the next class goes off and we run to the door without realizing that we're the only ones heading for the door. Oops?

"Miss Selena, miss Gabriella, where do you both think you are heading?" He asked in a stern voice that would've probably made me scared if I wasn't so sure I was right at this moment.

"Em..... outside?" I offer still not understanding why the other students were still seated and Lena nods in agreement.

"Em... Did you check your schedule before entering this class?" he responded with the most mocking tone I've ever heard. The class burst out in laughter and at this very moment, I realize that this is definitely worse than being introduced as the new kid for being late.

"It's a double period Gab," she whispers in the softest voice and I feel like facepalming myself. Of all days I choose to defend myself before a teacher, I just had to pick today.

"Oh" was all I could offer before Lena and I walk back to our seats and these dumbasses keep chuckling. I can still hear you, assholes!

So the rest of the day was pretty much uneventful, just classes, lunch. Yeah, I know, we got a table? Yup. Lena worked her magic with some girls and I'm not exactly the anti-social type either, so yeah, they let me sit too. I'm not a people person, at all. But I'm not anti-social either. Let's just say I'm in between worlds.

Oh and I'm so sorry I've not been able to update these past weeks, I was going through a rough patch and I didn't want to rush the writing process 'cause I want you guys to be able to connect with the character on almost the same level as myself. FORGIVE MEEE!!!!
