"First day of school! Wake up, Kellie!" Ugh, it was 4am on Monday. And I was dreading going back to school. I slowly slipped out of my bed and sluggishly walked to my closet. I put on my Bright Lights Michael Buble hoodie, skinny jeans, and my black converse. No one to impress, all the guys in my school are weird. I brushed my teeth, combed my hair and went downstairs to see my little sister Kacey sitting on the sofa watching Hannah Montana. I grabbed a bowl of Fruit Loops and sat next to her. After about what seemed like an hour, my mom walked in from the front door. "Kellie, can you help me carry these boxes to the car?" I sighed then got up, walking to the kitchen placing my bowl on the counter. I picked up a box and walked out to our blue Honda CR-V. I turned to walk back to the house when something caught my eye. The next door For Sale sign read Sold. I turned to my mom. "Who bought the house?" With her being a Real Estate Agent, she had to know these things. "The Flanagans" Flanagan? "It sounds like some kind of disease..." My mom gave me one of those 'Clean Up Your Act Young Lady' kind of looks. I wasn't the perfect child. I actually was opposite of what everyone in this town is like. Everyone is so...perfect. Perfect clothes, perfect house, perfect life. But me, I prefer converse over high heels. Also, everyone loves those annoying artists like Kesha and Bruno Mars. But I love jazz and broadway music. "Hello?" My mom looked at me with a worried face. "You okay?" I hadn't realized I zoned out for about 5 minutes now. "Yeah, just thinking." My mom finished packing the boxes in the car, closed the back car door, and turned to me. "Now Kellie, the new neighbors are moving in today while you're at school. They have a son in your grade and I told them that you could walk with him to school tomorrow and help him with his first day." Great... a new kid... "Fine." My mom got out her keys and got in the car. "You'd better start getting ready. You don't want to be late on your first day. And when you get home, tell Kacey to walk Lola." She looked at her watch. "Damn, i'm late. Love you, sweetie! Have a great first day!" I nodded and waved goodbye as she drove off. I walked up the walkway and grabbed my bookbag. "Kacey, it's time to go."
We were almost at the school. We walked through the soccer field and finally we were at the Elementary School. "Bye Kellie!" She hugged me and skipped off. Wow, I miss being in 1st grade. Then, I walked to the high school. Walking in the parking lot is a challenge with the swirving idiot drivers. I walked in the school and up to the second floor to my assigned homeroom. The teacher passed out the Emergency Contact Cards and Lunch Menu. The normal papers. Then we got our locker combination and I walked out to my locker. I was locker number 8527. I had Adam Kerban on my right...but no one on my left. I asked my teacher if anyone was assigned on my left. He looked at his list flipping through pages. "Well, it looks like it will be...Rory Flanagan." The new kid. I went to my first class. Pre-Algebra. The class had only 3 students. Me, Erin Lader, Lillian Paril, and Jack Harper. This was because we were what the teachers call, the 'extras' class. We are the people that weren't able to be in the other classes because the other classes were full. We started off by introducing ourselfs which was boring because these people have been here since Elementary School. After 7 more classes, I got Kacey at the Elementary School and we started walking home. "Kellie! Guess what I made in school today!" She pulled a picture of a stamped handprint out of her bookbag and handed it to me. "Wow Kace, that's amazing! We'll hang it up on the fridge when we get home!" We finally arrived at the house. A big U-Haul truck parked next door. A lady and a man were carrying a table into the house. I looked on the porch and saw someone reading a book. I couldn't see their face due to them holding the book in front of them. I recognized the book right away. "Michael Buble: The Biography" I loved the book and read it about 20 times. I shrugged, walked into the house and went up to my room and put my bookbag on my bed. I got my ipod, put in my headphones, and fell asleep.
