I am kind of new at this and I hope you like it! Please review and tell me if I should continue or not. :)

So the past few years have been hard. And in a few days, I am starting a new school in a completely new state. I grew up in Chicago, and that's where I had my first year of high school and where all of my friends are. But this move will be good for me. I guess I needed a fresh start. The only thing is, I don't know anybody at my new school. It is a rich area and I have heard that the students can be snobby. I heard from someone else that the school was nick-named "Heroine High". One the other hand though, I am happy to be starting school and meeting people. The past two months here have been pretty boring without people my own age to hang out with. Mooresville, North Carolina isn't that small of a town, and where I live, nothing is within walking distance, well that is if you don't want to get sweaty.

I am hoping that I will find a boyfriend here. I have been boy crazy since- well since preschool I guess. It is hopeless I know, but I keep wishing that my new life is like a movie where everybody is intrigued with the new city girl. But seeing as how that's not gonna happen, I will just have to wow them with my amazing new wardrobe and charming personality! Haha just kidding about that last part.

I was laying in my bed listening to music in my room, I will never get used to saying my room, when my phone started vibrating. I picked it up and it said mom. I groaned but answered anyway. For ten minutes, because that's all the time they're allowed on the phone, I listened to my mom ramble on about her troubles and gave up trying to get a word in.

"I love you." She said to me.

I hated to say it and not know if I meant it or not but I replied, "I love you too." I know what you're thinking, how could I not know. Well she did some things, things that I don't know if I can forgive her for. I started to reach for the bag of m&ms I had in my room, but then I reassured myself I didn't need them.

"ALLY CAT! DINNER IS ON THE TABLE!" My man child of an uncle called.

Not a minute later, my grandma called me to the table again. "ALRIGHT I'M COMING!" I yelled back a little too forcefully, regretting it immediately. When everybody sat down, we started praying, something I still feel weird about. But if it makes my aunt Liz happy then I will do it.

School starts today! I had had my first day outfit all picked out, then I remembered the new white and teal green dress I got and decided to go with that instead. I flat ironed my ombre hair and decided to go with a smokey eye shadow look with red lipstick, which people seem to like best on me. I had always figured since I had tan-ish skin, I should go with light colored lipstick, but hey whatever works. I grabbed my pretty new pink backpack and shoved all my makeup in there in case I needed to touch up during the day. I went into my uncle's office to say goodbye to him. "Good luck on the giant yellow snot wagon!" he yelled after me. Liz gave me a bear hug and wished me luck. "You look beautiful! Hold on! Let me take a picture to send to your mother!" I subtly rolled my eyes while she got the camera. We went outside to get the best lighting and she snapped a quick picture. I heard the bus coming so I waved good bye and started my descent down our steep driveway. I didn't want to bother waking my grandma up to say goodbye so I just figured I would be bombarded with questions when I got home.

I sighed as the bus pulled up in front of me. This was my first time riding the "giant yellow snot wagon" to school and I was kind of nervous. Well, on the bright side, there wouldn't be any little kids! I found a seat near the back, surprised nobody has paid me any special attention, or given me strange looks yet. I guess I must have zoned out, because the next thing I know, an extremely cute blond boy was tapping me on the shoulder. "I said is that seat taken?" he repeated.
