Dear random thoughts,

Today's my first day of freshman year. Fun. I'm 15 now. And no. I did not have a shallow party to show off my now available virginity while wearing a giant poufy, glittery dress that cost over 1,000 dollars (for no freaking reason). Also known as, what you call, a Quinceañera. Those parties are just another excuse for Mexicans to get drunk and dance. No thank you.

I got a ride with my 21-year-old brother, Jasper. I told him to drop me off at the front of the school. "You sure you don't want me to walk you in? This was my school after all. I could show you around the place and-" "Nope. I'm good. Thanks." I interrupt him a bit ruder than I intended. "What. You embarrassed by your older brother dropping you off? You too cool for me now?" He laughs. I roll my eyes and smile. "I could never be too cool for my awesome big bro." He ruffles my hair. "Have a good day at school, my little monkey bean." I smirk. "Bye, Jassie." He glares at me as I step out of the car. I know he hates that name.

I enter the school building and within 5 seconds of being there, I get viciously attacked by my good friend, Angela Luna. "MAAAAAAAAAAAAX!!!" She screams as she engulfs me in a bear hug. "No hugs!!" I yell as I try to wiggle my way out of her grasp; yet the more I try, the tighter her grip gets. Once I finally feel the room going dark, she lets go at the sight of Bailey Delgadillo walking in the building. "Bailey! BAILEY!!!" I yell to her. She kind of just stares at me. "BURNT FRENCH FRY!" Angela yells. As soon as she hears that, Bailey realizes it's us and runs over to us. "I yelled Bailey!" I said, in disbelief that she couldn't recognize me. All of a sudden we hear a group of jocks yell, "FRESHMAN BAIT!" as they grab a trash can and dump it over Bailey's head. They then shoved her head first into the trash can. Angie and I couldn't help but laugh. We're terrible. Once I get Bailey out of the trash, Angela and I ask her, "Are you ok?", while still laughing. "No. I smell like rotten milk and fish sticks."
"Well I have an extra outfit if you want it," Angela says feeling bad for her. "No, no. It's fine. I'll just call my mom to bring me a new outfit." Bailey sighs. "I still can't believe you didn't recognize me!" Bailey laughs. "Well sorry, Ms. 'Went to a military school for 2 grades'!" I pout. "Hey! I get in one fight and I get sent to a Military school. How is that fair!?" Angie and Bailey look at me in disbelief. "YOU BROKE HIS NECK!" "PLUS YOU TRIED TO SHOOT HIM, TOO!" They both yell. "Hey. In my defense, he was hitting on Cara and then he threw the first punch. I just gave him what he deserved." I defended myself. "Whatever." Angela says. "I'm gonna call my mom now." Bailey says walking away. "Yea. I'm going to find some place to write my songs." Angela agrees. They both leave. They were gone and now for my real mission. To find Cara. I mean, I didn't expect her to wait for me while I was in Georgia for Military school, but it doesn't hurt to find her.

After 20 minutes of looking, I finally find her sitting alone outside. I approach her as she's reading a Lemon on her phone. "H-hey... Cara." She glances at me for second as she says hey then back at her phone. After a few seconds of realizing who I was, she stands up. "Machenzy!!" She jump-hugs me. "Hello to you too," I laugh. She wraps her arms around my neck and looks at me and smiles. "You're dumb. I'm so happy you're back!" I laugh. "So how have you be-" I get interrupted by Cara's lips crashing into mine. She lets go after a moment. I chuckle. "I think that was the best welcome back I've ever had." Cara blushes. I smile and kiss her cheek as the bell for first period rang. I grab her hand and we walk to first period. Unfortunately, I have AP Chemistry with my best friend since kindergarten, Isaiah Crimson while she has Math. AP Chem is pretty boring and basic on the first day so I'll just skip to 4th period. Free period.
