"Aria!" I roll onto my stomach and cover my head with my pillow. Today is my first day at my new school. Hurray... I'll be a loner... I'll have no friends... I'll have to sit at lunch alone unless I meet someone... I groan into my pillow as I hear my mom call my name again. "Aria! It's time to wake up. You don't want to be late on your first day, do you?"

I uncover my head and slip out of bed. As I trudge out of my room to the kitchen, I trip over my rose print sweat pants and bump into a wall. Hey, its not my fault I can't really see through my turquoise bed head! I catch my balance and continue to walk to the kitchen.

"Hey, Mom. What's for breakfast?" I yawn and pull down my dark red tank top. I walk over the the pantry and grab a chocolate chip granola bar. I quickly take it out of its packaging and eat it. After I finish, I walk back to my room. I'm so happy my new school doesn't have a uniform unlike my last one.

As I walk towards my armoire, I trip over my cat Kupuru's toy. I fall towards the wall and stub my toe. "What a great way to start my day." I mumble to myself. I pull out a pair of ripped blue jeans and a dark grey hoodie. I quickly change then slump down onto my bed. I bury my head in my pillow and scream. I pick up my head as, out of the corner of my eye, I see Kupuru jump. I giggle to myself and stand up.

I start to make my way to the bathroom. How should I do my hair today? I sigh and grab my hair brush and straightener. After I brush my hair and straighten it, I pull my hair into a high ponytail. So what if I don't look that presentable on my first day?

Soon enough, it was time for me to leave for school. Luckily for me, my new school is literally across the street from my house. I hug my mom and grab my lunch then practically run out of the house.

After three minutes, I get to the gates of the school. I just stand there and watch the other students walk by. Few stop and give me a weird look.

Look at her hair. It looks so weird. Who has blue hair?

What is that outfit? Did she get it out of a garbage can?

I know people are going to judge her. I feel bad for her. I hope I can befriend her and defend her.

I saw the girl who thought that start to walk towards me. I look down to hide my faintly red face. I blush so easily. I hate it.

"Hey, are you new here? I don't recognize you. I'm Gemma. And you are?"

She smiles and I just can't help myself from smiling back.

"Aria"
