Somehow I knew that the day was sunny outside even before I opened my eyes that morning. My alarm clock chattered away, fulfilling its purpose in my life as I rose from bed and turned it off. I stretched, already nervous as I looked outside, at my new little block in the middle of a foreign country. I sighed, well, this is where my future was, at least, for now....
I stared into my mirror, as I dressed, well, not stared the whole time, but you know what I mean. I sat on my white butterfly chair as I pulled on a pair of purple socks, which I then slipped my black VANS over them. I was wearing black jeans with a black belt with those silver pyramid things all over it. I had on my white shirt that said, 'If you see me getting smaller, I'm leaving.' I don't know why today I decided to go so punk, but hey, first impressions last a life time, right? I want them to know that I'm not scared, even though I was shaking in my shoes as I walked down the stairs and sat down, starting to eat some breakfast.
I suppose I am luckier than most people that move here, I did have my family friend/pen pal, Marco Del Rossi, to help introduce me to everybody. He was here this morning, eating pancakes like a madman, like he had never had my dad's pancakes before, which, coincidently, happened every time he visited us.
"Morning." He said between mouthfuls. I smiled, Marco was awesome. I was very glad to have him be there with me my first day.
I headed out with Marco chattering away beside me, though I wasn't really listening, I had my eyes focused on the growing shape of Degrassi Community High in the distance. It seemed as if I was walking in slow motion, but everyone around me was only moving faster. They whirled by me, a mass of faces growing and growing as we got closer to the doors, which looked even more foreboding than ever. This wasn't just a new school; this was a new school in a new country! I seemed to go slower, my breath catching in my throat with each step I took. I saw someone, a boy, standing in front of me, but I seemed unable to stop my feet from their procession, and I slammed into him. That was when time got back to normal as I fell back from the impact, down four steps on my back and skidding to a halt on the sidewalk below. My back ached, the cement steps making their mark. Marco and the boy I had run into were down the steps in a flash and helping me up. I suppose my face was very red, because the boy had a smirk on his face. I felt more stupid than angry at his little smirk, but that was when he introduced himself.
"Better watch yourself. The name's Sean Cameron." And he turned away, like people bounced off him and fell down the stairs everyday. Butterflies rose inside me and I dusted myself off, almost dashing off without my very worried friend Marco.
"Are you alright? Geez, you plowed right into Sean like he wasn't even there! I mean, what exactly happ-..."
"I know, Marco, I just made a complete fool of myself on the first day and school hasn't even started!" The sky seemed to darken as I looked up, of course, rain clouds were moving in.
"Perfect..... just....prefect..." I said as I stepped inside the school. And there he was again, looking straight at me, before moving away again in between the insane amount of people.
"Kari Archer, welcome to Degrassi High!"
