I can't believe this. First day of my new school in beacon hills and I wake up late.
I jumped out of bed so fast my head started to spin. I brushed out my hair looking at myself in the mirror. My straight light brown hair fell down past my shoulders, my hazel eyes were heavy because I just awakened. I put on eyeliner and mascara and ran to get dressed. I slipped into my jeans and put on my purple flowered sweater that said "Forever Yours."
"My necklace…" I whispered. I ran back into my bathroom and picked it up off the side of the sink. It was my grandmother's necklace. She had this thing with little bee pins. Mine was silver with crystals decorating it. I put it around my neck and look at myself in the mirror.
"Happy thoughts" I told myself.
I brushed my teeth applied lip gloss and ran downstairs grabbing my keys off the counter before being stopped by my mom.
"Oh, no, no, no, Adria. It's your first day and I dragged you all the way across the country at the beginning of junior year at least let me drive you to school."
"Seriously? I can drive myself. I'm already late." I said about to walk past her but she moved to the side. She held out her hand with that look like struggling-is-pointless. I sighed and hander her the keys. She smiled. I pulled on my pair of light purple vans. My mother hummed as I followed her out the door.
We sat in silence for a while. I listened to the hum of the engine and my mind wondered places. My mom broke my train of thought when she said "I'm sorry."
"For what?" I asked back turning my head towards my mom. She was gripping the wheel so tight her knuckles turned white."
"I'm sorry for dragging you half way across the country. Away from your friends. When you're just starting your junior year. We just…We couldn't stay there any longer. Not w-"
"Mom I get it…Its fine." I told her putting my hand on her shoulder. She looked at my. Her blue eyes scanning my face. I faked a smile for her benefit. She smiled back turning her head back toward the road loosening her grip on the wheel.
We pulled in front of the school luckily because I didn't want to stay in that car any longer. "Love you." I said before grabbing my bag and climbing out of the car.
"Love you too!" She called after me.
I walked swiftly into the school and was about to turn into the bathroom before I cried my eyes out but of course I ran into someone. I walked back a few steps "sorry" I mumbled. Looking up I saw a handsome pale boy with big brown eyes. His hair was nicely. These cute little moles freckled his cheeks.
"No my bad." He said. "Are uh…are you new here?" I nodded, pulling my head down again. "Welcome to Beacon Hills." He said right before he walked off.
I rushed into the bathroom looking into the mirror. Suddenly I didn't feel like crying. Maybe beacon hills isn't that bad.
