Bridgette point of view- new beginning
Today was my first day at summer bay high. Was I excited, no way. I was very happy at my old school. I had my friends; I was popular and I had all the boys wanting me. As I walked past the gates, the bell went. Which meant I was late, as per usual, and properly not a good way to start my first day. As I walked down the corridor there was no one to be found besides the school principal, which was looking at me. "You're late Bridgette, not a good start to your summer bay high schooling" Mrs Palmer said. "Sorry" I mumbled. After listening to her boring lecture about school rules she directed me to my class. As I walked to the door I thought to myself here goes nothing. I walked in and the teacher said you must be the new girl Bridgette welcome and take a seat. He pointed at this desk with a girl who looked like she was teacher's pet. I'm Mr Mathers by the way. As I took a seat, the girl next to me said hey I'm Amanda. I took no notice of her. Mr Mathers went on about Shakespeare which was boring the hell out of me. So I got my phone out and starting texting my friends from my old school. 'Miss Bridgette'. I looked up. 'I don't know what the rules were like at your old school but here phones aren't allowed in my class'. 'Put your phone on my desk now and you can see me after class'. I put my phone on his desk and thought great I am already in trouble on my first day. The bell rang, and so while everyone was leaving I went to the teacher's desk. He said 'you're not making a good first impression on your first day'. 'I know' I told him. Well come with me. As we were walking he said you obviously don't want to be here. I just rolled my eyes. We walked into some office and Mr Mathers handed my phone over to this other female teacher. She told me to take a seat. Hi I'm Natalie or Miss Davidson. And your name. I'm Bridgette I told her. So Bridgette how has your first day been. Great, I'm already in trouble on my first day so It's been good. Well tell me about yourself. I thought it's going to be one of those talks. Well I said I'm from mangrove river. I have three brother all older then me. Whats that like? Annoying sometimes but good because they practically raised me. What about your parents. Well my mum never really given a shit about me. She spends all her time at the pokies and dad well I stopped asking about him ages ago. What made you move to summer bay. My brother got kicked out of school and things weren't working out at home. So what do you do in your spare time. well I surf a lot. You must love summer bay then. Yea I haven't got the chance to try the surf out yet. She smiled at me. I wondered why I was telling a stranger my whole life story and my problems. Can I leave because I if I don't get home my brother will kill me Sure she said. I was about to leave when she called me and said "hey don't forget your phone" thanks I said.
