The First Day
*BEEP* *BEEP*
"Ugh…" I moaned to myself.
"School…" I hissed under my breath. Nonetheless, I pulled myself out of bed and trotted downstairs. There was a note on the fridge from my mother,
Hey honey, have a lovely first day of school! I left you some lunch money on the counter and set out your favorite cereal. Hope you see your "boyfriend". I'm joking honey, so don't hate me when you read that. I'll be home by 6:30.
Real cute mom. Anyways, I grabbed a bowl of fruit loops and headed back upstairs. I changed into a strapless lace crop top and a pair of light blue jeans with some white shoes. I then went to the mirror and curled my hair a little to have some loose curls. I added some mascara to top it off. I looked decent for my first day… I guess…
I picked up my black backpack and walked out the door. My longboard was still packed away, so I was stuck with walking.
I walked through the doors and the whole school seemed like a disaster. Damn Jersey was rough, but this is just a disaster. In the background all I heard was the obscenities:
"You stupid Jew!"
"Fat ass!"
"Donkey Fucker!"
Literally all the insults ever imagined being flung around in a single hallway. I continued walking though, trying to find the principal's office. While walking, I heard somebody whistle at me. I continued walking, I was not the type of girl to be treated like a dog. I strolled into the principal's office and picked up my schedule:
Math – Mr. Garrison, Room 202
English – Mr. Mackey 123
Lunch
Gym – Mrs. Penscilla
History – Mr. Garrison, Room 232
Wow what a simple schedule, compared to New Jersey, this is completely different. I trotted out of the principal's office and wandered down the hallway. I managed to find my way to Room 202. I crossed the room and sat down in a seat in the front. My mom always told me, the front seat makes a good impression on the teacher. After sitting down, I heard somebody in the seat behind me drop their book. I turned around to pick it up for them and we accidentally touched hands. I shyly pulled mine away and looked up to meet eyes with a boy in an orange parka. He muffled something, but then loosened the parka to where I could understand him.
"Oh thank you, but don't worry about my book! I got it." He told me.
"Oh okay." I smiled back shyly. I turned back to the front but then felt a hand tap my shoulder. I turned around and looked him in the face. He had blue eyes and a dimple when he smirked.
"I'm Kenny McCormick" He told me shyly. Clearly he was as anxious as I was.
"Alaska Ursitti…" I added.
"Wow, Alaska? That's a really pretty name… But why Alaska?" He asked with innocent curiosity.
"Well, for one, thank you! And two, when translated it means, 'at which the sea breaks against', representing strength in being able to get back up once knocked down." I explained. He looked at me fascinated and said,
"I love that."
Before I could say anymore, Mr. Garrison burst through the door with a puppet…? The puppet's name was apparently Mr. Hat. Okay, he was pretty weird. Luckily I had Kenny whispering jokes in my ear all class, making it bearable. After class, as I was leaving, Kenny reached for my wrist and grabbed it lightly. This sent fear through my spine. Memories. No. Not now. I turned to Kenny and he could sense I was uneasy. He let go immediately and then delicately said,
"Hey, I just wanted to know if you wanted me to carry your bag and escort you to your next class."
"I don't want to inconvenience you though…" I replied shyly.
"It's… not an inconvenience to me…" He replied equally shy.
"Well… Okay…" I smiled lightly at him. He proceeded to grab my bag and walk with me down the hallway. He taught me about some of the people here. Such as Butters, Tweek, and Token.
"Alright well here we are!" He stated. He held my gaze for a little. Then shook his head and stated,
"Sorry for staring. I'm just not used to seeing someone so captivating." He shyly stated and blushed.
"I-I… I'm flattered…" I blushed. He handed me my bag and walked away shyly.
I walked into class and that class pretty much flew by. Just some notes and a lecture. Next was lunch. I walked to the lunch room and pulled out the money my mother had left for me. I walked up to the lunch line and waited in line patiently. When I reached the head of the line, an African American chef handed me my food and said,
"Well hello there little lady! Haven't see you around here. Ya new?" He asked.
"Why yes I am." I replied with a brief smile.
"Well, welcome to South Park." He greeted.
I left with a smile and scanned the lunch room for an empty seat. I found an empty table and decided to sit over there. I put my bag down and my lunch tray and began to eat my lunch. All of a sudden I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Damn, you are strong." The voice said. I recognized it to be Kyle. I turned around and met his eyes.
"Of course, you didn't think I was lying now did you." I stated semi-sternly and semi-giggling.
"Nah, never. But anyways, I didn't want you to be all alone at lunch. Come sit with me!" Before I could even respond he wrapped his hand around my arm, gently though, and tugged me along to his table. When I got there I saw Kenny from earlier. I also saw a kid with a brown jacket and a blue hat with a red pom-pom. Then beside him was a kid on the chubbier side of the spectrum with a red jacket and blue hat with a yellow pom-pom.
"Who the fuck is this Kyle?" The fat one asked.
"Hey, watch your mouth fat-ass. She's my friend. She just moved here and her name is Alaska." Kyle retorted. I just kind of stood there awkwardly not knowing what to say.
"Alaska? Like the fucking state Alaska? What did you parents run out of names? Got a sibling? What's their name? Montana?" He asked distastefully.
"We'll no, but I think I figured out why the rest of South Park is so skinny." I responded.
"DAMN!" I heard the boy in the brown jacket and blue hat say.
"Holy shit. She's a bitch…SHE'S GREAT." The fat one stated. I smile a little at this. I sat down next to Kyle.
"My name is Eric Cartman, but, just call me Cartman." The fat one told me.
"Alright nice to meet you E…" I started but was interrupted by his sudden burst of,
"I SAID CALL ME CARTMAN BITCH."
"Okay fine, nice to meet you Cartman bitch." I replied with a sarcastic smirk. He mumbled under his breath and stabbed into his meal.
"I'm Stan Marsh!" Stated the kid in the brown jacket.
"Nice to meet you Stan." I smiled. We proceeded to eat lunch and they told me about a bunch of their adventures and all they do in town. We all laughed and joked around. But then the bell rang which signaled for a change in class. I said goodbye to the boys and took off to the gym class.
I went to the girl's locker room and changed my clothes.
"Oh look, it's the new girl…" I heard a voice whisper behind. I ignored it but then I felt a hand on my back. I whipped around to see a girl with black hair and purple hat standing behind me with a girl with blonde hair.
"Hey I'm Wendy, and this is Bebe!" The girl with the black hair stated.
"Hi, I'm Alaska." I replied with a smile.
"Want to hang out with us in gym?" She asked.
"Sure." I answered. That gym class went by fast and the girls filled me in on gossip and all the cute boys.
"You're so nice Alaska!" Said Bebe
"Here guys, have my number." I replied. With that I handed them a paper with my phone number on it and turned to walk to my next class which was History. When I walked into class I noticed Cartman was there.
"Oh no, she's in this class." He moaned to himself. I've gotten used to him making fun of me. Back in Jersey my friends and I did this all the time.
"I know! Your favorite person is here." I stated sarcastically.
"Ha, you wish." He retorted. I sat right in front of him. And he groaned again.
"Do you have to sit there? Your hair is in my fucking face."
"Oh my hair is in your face?" I asked and with that flipped my hair backwards to hit him in the face.
"Hey watch it, I'll shave you bald." He mumbled. The class dragged on but Cartman and I joked back and forth some more making it much more enjoyable.
The bell rang and I walked out of class and started down the hallway. When I reached the outside I noticed it started to rain. SHIT. I didn't bring anything to cover myself with. I started walking fast, getting soaked by the rain. I was about a quarter of the way home when I heard somebody call out to me.
"Alaska wait!" The voice called. I turned to see Kenny racing towards me. I stopped and he caught up to me.
"You're crazy! You're walking home in the pouring rain without a coat or an umbrella." He exclaimed.
"I know… I wasn't thinking this morning." I replied embarrassed. Then he did something that surprised me. He took off his parka, underneath wearing a white t-shirt and a pair of shorts. He handed me the parka.
"Wear this please." He requested.
"Are you sure?" I asked shyly.
"Of course." He responded without hesitation. I put on his Parka and I instantly felt so much warmer.
"Thank you so much." I said gracefully.
"Not a problem." He replied. We walked and discussed the events of the day for a while until he turned to me and said,
"I kind of like the rain."
"Me too... It makes me feel like its washing away all the mistakes, and giving everything a new chance." I responded.
"Same… It also is really calming. It makes me feel like I'm not alone." His voice trailed off at the end and I decided not to push him. We made it to my house and before he could say anything else I asked,
"Do you want to come inside?"
