Chapter 1
The First Morning
"Kay, come on get up for your first day at school!" Her mother yelled up to her. She was already awake, but she rolled off the bed and stood up, grabbing a towel and her clothes for the first day of school. "And what if I don't feel like getting up?" She groaned. "You have to." Her mother laughed. "I know, I know, but don't expect me coming home all cheery or something, I'm never going to fit in." She sighed. She picked up her light pink tank top and her ripped faded jeans and walked into the bathroom. She put her clothes on the toilet and started to brush her teeth. "And how come you think you aren't going to fit in?" She asked. "Because mom, I don't know about the west coast at all! All I know is that they are crawling with blonde haired blue eyed Barbies wearing expensive clothing, with nice cars, and here I am brown haired, brown-eyed girl, with a pink tank top and Abercrombie jeans. Besides the weather, nothing will be fine!" She raved. "Honey calm down, so you may be a Jersey girl, and you may not have the right clothes, but you are pretty." Her mother said. "You have to say that, you're my mother, but you have to understand I won't fit in, I'm not like them." She replied. "Well fine keep on thinking that, but maybe, just maybe you'll make a friend that isn't from around here either. Maybe where you are from." She smiled. "I know you'll make new friends, I want you to be happy, but I also want you to keep your grades up." She walked out of the room. Kayla hopped in the shower. Then when she was done she dried her hair. She didn't put it up; she just took a hair tie just in case. She grabbed her backpack and went downstairs. "Here is your breakfast." Her mom said handing her a hot pocket. "Thanks but I'm not hungry, and it isn't because I'm mad, I'm never hungry in the mornings. But I'll take a pop-tart for the way there if it will make you happy." She smiled. "Ok have a great day! And the school is only like a minute from here so it's not a long walk." Her mother yelled as she walked out the door. "Thanks mom." She rolled her eyes and started walking.
