"Now sweetie remember just be yourself." My mom tends to say this every time I'm worried about meeting someone or something. In this case it was because I am just getting out of the car and into the school I will be going to for hopefully the rest of my high school. (I really don't want to move again). It wasn't the biggest school like my last school. A small school, for a small town. I had no idea here I was going when I entered the building. I had to ask many people where the main office was but teachers obviously don't teach about details in this school. Most answers that I got were 'Over there, or 'down stairs'. All found out to be wrong. Plus I even got a couple of 'you're hot'. Which wasn't my idea of welcome to Roseville High! But whatever.
Then a guy with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes walked up to me, "Hey, I'm Josh. Looks like you need someone to show you to the main office." He said with a small smile at the end.
"Oh my god yes. That would be great." I said I was so desperate to get there I didn't want to be late. And plus he was cute.
He walked me to the office as he asked me about my old school. It brought back so many memories but at the same time I was glad to be getting a new experience.
"Well here we are." And he opened the door for me I stepped in.
"I could wait and show you to your classes?" He said.
"Nah that's ok I don't want you to miss your classes I'll be fine." And he left with that and I walk up to the desk.
"Uh hi I'm Cameron Morgan, the new student." I said and she dug threw a punch of papers that were in a neat and organized file.
"Ah yes from River View High School." And she grabbed some file work. "Just fill out some simple forms. You may sit in those chairs while you do it." She handed me a clipboard with papers on them and a pen. So I sat on down in a chair nearby the desk. While I was filling out some of it I couldn't help but over hear a conversation happening in front of me so I looked up and listened.
"Ah Zachary what was it this time?" The woman at the front desk said as a tall male teacher came up holding "Zachary's" arm.
"I caught him beating up some kid in the hall way outside my classroom." The teacher was really pissed.
"Is this like the 3rd time this month?" the kid didn't say anything, she just shook her head "ok go sit in that chair." And she pointed to the one next to me. Oh boy! The man went back outside probably to go teach and the woman probably went to thee principle. He on the other hand came and sat next to me.
After a half a minute (which felt like 10!) he finally said, "So River View..."
"Excuse me?" I said confused but why should I be he was right.
"On the form, you went to that River View High school." Well this is a little awkward. "So you lived in Nebraska."
"I did. I'm new here, my mom got a new job at the Stride ® gum factory."
"Oh so your moms Rachel Morgan?"
For the first time scince we've started talking I looked up, and when I did I looked in a sea of emerald right into his deep green eyes. And noticed his perfectly messy brown hair.
"You know my mom?" I was kind of confused how did he know my mom?
"Yeah she invented the flavor changing gum. Everyone knows her."
"I didn't think someone who invented a gum flavor could be that well known, but ok I guess."
"Everyone knows everything in this small town."
Then the principle walked in. "Zach what do we have to do to keep you out of trouble? I mean I would put you in another detention but you would probably sneak out. Again." She toke a look at me and said, "Oh I'm sorry how very rude of me. I'm Mrs. Johnston. And you must be Cameron the new student." We shock hands and she then turned back to Zach angry. "As for you. Detention, for two weeks."
"Whatever." Zach said and walked off back to class.
"Now Cameron." Mrs. Johnston said,
"Oh please call me Cammie." I said back, I did not like being called Cameron. At all.
"Ok Cammie. If you need any help finding your classes just ask someone. Here's a map for help and you schedule and locker combo. I hope you have fun here." And she toke my forms while replacing them with all my stuff.
I walked off to find my first class, which was biology because I had already missed homeroom. I hadn't really mad any friends in my morning classes. Well there was one girl in my reading class with me who talk to me very briefly. Her name was Bex and she seemed nice. Her hair was black and silky. And the Josh kid was in a couple classes of mine. Plus Zach from the office, yeah he was in almost every one of my classes in the morning. Eve5yone seemed to like him and think he was cool. I'm guessing he was really popular.
At lunch I got all my food, which today was a grille cheese sandwich and an apple. Ok so it wasn't the best food I've had, but it wasn't like how you would think of hot lunches. I didn't know where to sit and felt like some of the kids were staring at me or like examining me. You too would think it was kind of creepy if it was you. All of this felt weird, like a different world but the girl Bex, from reading, invited me to come and sit with her.
"Hey Cammie." I turned around and Bex was waving me to come to her. "You wanna sit with us?"
"Sure." I was kind of shy. Which was different because I've never been described to as shy.
"Cammie this is Liz, and Kristen and Megan, Lauren, and Bridgett."
"Hi. I'm Cammie."
"Guys Cammie moved here from Nebraska. And this is her first day."
"Oh cool Nebraska. What was it like?" the girl who I think name was Meg said. I explain to them how it was like, my school, and why I ended up moving.
After lunch Bex Started walking with me, it turns out we have the next couple of lasses together. "Hey Cammie, maybe after school today you would wanna come over to my house?"
"Yeah sure that sounds great Bex."
"Really? ok cool. Well my ride will take like 30mins so we can just wait in the bleachers by the football field for him." Then we went to all of our classes and I met Bex out in the Bleachers after school.
"Hey Cammie." Bex said as I sat down next to her.
"Hey. So whose are ride again?"
"My boyfriend, his name is Grant."
"Oh were is he?"
"On the field, he has football practice. Oh there he is now." Bex pointed to her boyfriend who was one with the football and running for the touchdown.
"So who else is on the team?" I asked to make simple conversation.
"Well that's Ricky, Lou, Tom, Mike, and Zach." She said pointing to each one as she said the name. "I think Zach is in our math class."
"Yeah and I saw him in the principle's office."
"Of yeah he's a really great guy, he really is. He's actually Grant's best friend, but his mom died when he was only a little kid, so he takes it out on others."
"Yeah he was in there because he was beating up some kid."
"That happens a lot but he has never gotten expelled. It's probably because he's the captain on the football team and coach would die if he couldn't play." Bex told a lot about the team and how good they are, "Oh and there in the bleachers across the field, that's the math team. My best friend Liz is over there."
"Liz in on the math team?" I said, she was really smart, but she looked like a little shy to be on the team.
"Nah she's showing them some tips and telling them the right way on how to like do some sort of formula or something? I don't but Liz is like such a big geek. Haha but I still love her!"
"Wow she seems really smart! Maybe she should tutor me!" We both laughed a little. I can't believe how smart Liz sounds.
Just then another one of Bex's friends came up. "Hey Bex."
"Macey, this is Cammie, she's new here." I turned and saw Macey McHenry. The senator's daughter! And I go to her school!
"Hey Cammie. I'm-"
"I know who you are, it's so nice to meet you Macey."
"Nice to meet you to Cammie. So is Grant almost done?" Macey asked taking a seat next to Bex.
"Yeah. And we're all going over to my house." Bex said.
"Who's we?" Macey said and pulled out her phone to text someone real fast.
"Us, Liz, Grant, Zach and Tina." She said with an annoying voice on Tina's name.
"Who's Tina?" I asked and Bex and Macey both looked at me like I was crazy.
"She's only the bitchiest person in the whole world." Macey said acting very annoyed.
"If she's so bitchy then why are you inviting her to your house?" I asked. Man y new friends were confusing.
"She's Zach's girlfriend. He invited her." Bex told me.
"Why would he date someone that mean?"
"Zach is a big believer in the whole 'tradition thing'." Bex told me making quote makes with her fingers.
"Tradition?"
"Yeah." Macey added, "He thinks that the Captain is supposed to date the head cheerleader. So since he is the quarter back and captain of the football team, and she's the head cheerleader they date."
Bex than added, "And I don't think she's, that bitchy around him. Oh there she is now with her squad. That there is Eva." She pointed to a girl with jet-black hair and a perfect body. "And next to Tina on her right is Anna. She's nothing like the rest of the squad. She's so nice. And smart to, she says she only hangs out with them cuz Tina isn't mean to her, and they've been friends for like ever!" Anna had dirty blonde hair, she was really small and right then she was talking to Eva.
"Hey Bex it looks like they're done with practice, let's go met them out front by his car." Macey said we grabbed our bags and headed for Grant's car. I thought for that moment, I had made so many friends for my first day. Maybe the year won't be so bad after all. But right then, I had no idea what was in store for me.
