Hi everyone! This is my first story, and I would really appreciate all tips and feedback! c: This will probably be just a single POV story until I get used to writing in multiples. This is a BajanCanadianxOC story, by the way. Leave a review! Enjoy.
I sat in front of my mirror and rehearsed my introduction to myself. "My name is Lynette, but you can just call me Lyn. I'm from New York and I really like it up here in Montreal!" I said to myself, sounding confident. I laughed and my shoulders drooped. Who was I kidding? I'm only confident when I'm behind a computer, not when people are looking at me. Lynette Rogers, an eighteen year old who still has public speaking problems.. Oh, my goodness.
~~ Next Morning ~~
"Lyn! Get up! You'll be late for your first day at a new school!" My mom screamed from downstairs. I sighed and sat up, rubbing my eyes. I glanced over at my clock and my eyes widened. "Mom, really?! You couldn't have woken me up sooner? I only have 20 minutes to get ready!" I yelled back, rushing to my bathroom. I hurredly ran a brush through my long black hair, and threw on some blue jeans, and a cute sweater. I looked in my mirror and was actually pleased with how I looked. "Not too bad," I muttered. "Hopefully, this good luck thing can continue..". I walked down the stairs and scooped up my backpack, slinging it across my shoulder.
"Oh, honey, you look great! Let me finish up breakfast for your father and Lance and we'll be on our way! How do you feel? Nervous?" She asked, returning to her pan of eggs. I rubbed my face, the reality setting in that I was about to go to a new school where I knew literally no one. In New York, I had zero friends. Maybe a few people I said hi to, and talked to in class a little, but no one I could share stuff with. I mean, who wants to be friends with a minecraft-obsessed geek who is shy? When everyone found out I played minecraft and watched videos of people playing online, I was done. Like an arrow to the heart.
"Mom, where is my backpack? I can't find it in my room!" My little brother asked, busting into the kitchen. I rolled my eyes because he was only ten, and his room was an absolute wreck. It was covered with toys and whatever a ten year old boy likes. My mom sighed and went to help him find it, calling over her shoulder to go ahead to get in the car. Here we go...
I rushed into the front office, hoping they'd let me off the hook for being late. Vince hid his backpack to try and get out of school, making me late. On my first day. I walked up the lady behind the desk and she looked up. "Late on the first day, tsk tsk. Go check in over there, sweetie." She said, looking back at her computer screen. I glanced over to the desk she implied, and sighed. "I'm sorry," I said, blushing a little. "I'm a new student... My name is Lynette Rogers." She looked up, surprised. "Oh goodness! I am so sorry, hun. We rarely ever get a new student. Let me find a map for you and your schedule." She blurted, and walked over to a filing cabinet. She returned and held up a small folder. "Here you go! Enjoy your first day here!" She said, smiling. I thanked her and went to find my first class.
I stood in front of the door trying to calm down. My heart was beating so fast, and I was crazy nervous. Maybe... No. I will find a friend here. "Here goes nothing." I muttered, and opened the door.
Sorry! I figured a cliffhanger would be good. Thanks a ton for reading, and please leave a review with tips! Thank you c:
