Chapter two The first day
I woke up screaming, trying to analyse my surroundings. I was in my room, in Janes house. I looked at the alarm. It was 4:30 in the morning. There was something weird about this dream. It was longer than the last one i had. I can't remember that i have seen the girl before. I felt a little scared. I hoped Jane didn't hear me. I guess not. If so she would come running to my room and she didn't. Because of the nightmare i didn't think i would fall asleep again. I noticed I was thirsty. I got up and walked to the kitchen. I got a glass out of the cabinet and filled it with water. I drank it up and went back to my room. I laid down on my bed again. Why does this keep happening to me? I sighed and pulled the covers over me. I stared at the wall for a long time. First day tomorrow. Hope it goes well and i don't make a fool out of myself. I was a little nervous about school, well a little. I was damn nervous. It is a private school and people who attended are very rich. I got in trough Jane. She lend the money to my mom because i kept whining about Yale. Now I wished that I just kept my mouth shut. I rolled over to the other side of the bed. I sighed again and decided to listen to music and play angry birds on my phone.
When it was time to get up I felt really tired. I didn't sleep much since the nightmares started. Sometimes I had dreamless sleep but that was rare. With a heavy feeling i got out of my bed. I wanted to decide what I was gonna wear before I would go to the kitchen to eat. I was starving as always. I was a big eater, I loved chocolate the most. I picked out a cute black summer dress with flats. I walked to the kitchen and found Jane already eating.
'Goodmorning' Jane said, sounding very happy.
'Morning. You sound happy' I said back
'Yes, i am. I probably will get promoted today' Jane anwsered smiling. Jane works for a company as a secretary. She loves her job and didn't miss one day of work. I didn't understand why. Sitting in an office was nothing for me.
'Wow Jane. That is awesome news! I am happy for you'
'Thank you. So do you want donuts for breakfast. One time thing!'
'Serious? You got donuts. Of course I want them.' I said taking a seat at the table. I opened a box filled with four chocolate donuts. 'Chocolate? You are an angel.'
'You nervous for the first day of school?' Jane asked curious.
'A little' I anwsered with my mouth full. 'This are so good.'
'Glad you like it. I know it is going to be okay.'
'I guess' I replied. I was done with eating after a few minutes. I got ready for school. My bag was already packed, so that was handy. I had to leave and said goodbye to Jane. When i was outside I walked over to the car. I started it and drove away.
It was a ten minutes ride and when I locked the car the feeling of being nervous came rushing back. I was expected in the principale office. I saw a few students standing outside. A girl with long blonde hair and green eyes, a boy with black, messy hair and icy blue eyes and another guy. He had sort of red hair I think and also blue eyes. When i walked past them to the door of the school they stared at me. I looked at them to but that made me nervous and I looked away very fast.
The nice lady at the reception showed me the way and said i should take a seat untill I was called in. It didn't take very long before a door openend. A saw an old man standing in the doorway. He had grey, curly hair and brown eyes. 'Come in' he said. I stood up and walked over to the office. It was very empty. The man sat down behind a desk and pointed at the chairs at the opposite from him.
'Your miss Hathaway, right?' he asked.
I nodded. 'It is nice to meet you. I am Mr. Smith, the princaple of this school' he said.
'It is nice to meet you to, Sir' I said very polite.
'So miss Hathaway, your grades are good but your behavior at your last school is not so good. If you want to make it at this school and Yale, you have to change your attitude. If you do that, I have a great confidence you can make it' Mr. Smith said. I stared at him speechless. How did he know this? I wasn't a easy student but I did get good grades. I guess he knew throught Jane. She was always so honest.
'I promise I will, Sir' I sort of vowed.
'Good, You can pick up your scheduele at the reception and then you can go to your class.'
'Okay, thank you Mr. Smith'
'Have a nice day, Miss hathaway' he said. And with that I got up and walked out of the office. The reception was nearby and so that was easy. I asked the same lady from before for my scheduele. She gave me directions to the first classroom and my locker. She explained the times of the periods, my combanation of my locker and at last the most important rules of the school.
With every step I took, heading to my first period, I got more nervous. I had Biology, in classroom 217 from Miss Ozera. The day for now was going fine. I didn't got into a fight. Yet. Maby there were nice classmates, so I could made a couple of friends. In my last school I hadn't any. And it sucked, I didn't wanted it this time. One of the students i saw outside, was standing for the classroom door waiting for Miss Ozera. At that time a woman from mid thirty was walking towards our class. She had black hair and blue eyes. She openend the door and I assumed it was Miss Ozera.
I grabbed my bag from the ground and saw that people were glaring at me. Of cours they were, I was the new kid. Very interesting fort hem. Luckly, this school hadn't any uniforms. I walked into the classroom and waited at the desk infront of the class.
'Miss Ozera?' I asked.
'Yes? O, hello. You are new aren't you? You are Rose, right?' she asked.
'Yes, i am.'
'Well, since you are new you must introduce yourself.' All of my new classmates were quiet and looking curios at me.
'Uh, okay.' I faced the crowd infront of me. 'Hello everyone, I am Rose Hathaway and I am seventeen years old. I just moved here and I came to this school because I want to apply for Yale. I guess that was it' I said to Miss Ozera.
'Good. You can sit with Mason in the back of the class.' I looked into the classroom and saw someone waving at me. One of the studens from the parkinglot. The one with the red hair. I walked to the back of the class. I sat down on a chair in the corner by the window.
'Hey, Rose. I am Mason. It's nice to meet you' Mason said.
'It is nice to meet you too' I said smiling back
'So where are you from?'
'I am from New York, I just moved here. Did you live here all your life?'
'That's cool. I always wanted to visit New York. No, I moved here because my father found a job here. So if we have to do projects, do you want to work with me?' he asked.
'Sure. I would love to. You know much of biology?'
'Awesome. A bit.'
I wanted to say something but Miss Ozera begon class, so I kept my mouth shot. I liked Mason. He was nice, I hoped more students were like him. Miss Ozera explained something about Atoms. The first chapter was about it.
Class was finished before I realized it. Miss Ozera didn't give any homework, so that was nice. She was a good teacher. I grabbed my books from my table and put them in my bag. Mason touched my shoulder. I turned to look at him.
'Would you like to have lunch with me and my friends during breake?' he asked. He sounded nervous.
'Of course. Thanks for asking. Aren't we in more classes together?'
'I think this afternoon. English the 7th period?'
'Yes, wanna sit next to each other again?'
'Sure, goodluck in the next periods. See you at lunch. Bye Rose.'
'Bye, Mason.'
I pulled my bag over my shoulder and walked to my next period: History. I didn't like it. Why would we need history for the present. But what do we about it? Nothing.
Before I knew it was lunch breake. First I wanted to put some books in my locker. I had number 557. It was near the cafeteria. I was starving as always and couldn't wait to eat. I felt someone tapping on my shoulder and saw it was Mason.
'Hey, I thought I would walk with you. Than you don't have to look for me' he said.
'Nice of you. I am almost done.' I closed my locker and walked with Mason to the cafeteria. It was big and a lot of tables. At each table there groupes of friends talking. When we were standing there people started staring at us.
'Lissa and Christian are over there.' He pointed a table where the blonde haired girl and blacked haired guy were sitting. We walked over to there table and Mason sat down on a chair. I hesitated but after a while I did the same as Mason. I grabbed my food and started eating.
'Guys, I want you to meet Rose. She's new and is in my biology and english class' Mason said introducing me.
'Hey, Rose. I am Lissa and this is Christian' she said. She looked very nice and kind. But Christian looked sarcastic. I was that too tough.
'Hey. Are you all friends?' I asked curious.
'Mason is a friend, yes. Christian is my boyfriend' Lissa replied.
'Since a year. So Rose do you have a boyfriend?' Christian asked. It was the first time he said something and why a personal question?
'No, not currently' I said.
'Why did you move here?' Christian asked.
'I don't want to talk about it' I said. I wasn't ready to talk about my mom. I just lost her and didn't want people to know about it. I hate when people felt sad for me of were being worried. I was a big girl, I can handle things for myself.
'Why? You have some big, dirty secret?' Christian asked grinning. I didn't like this guy very much. How could Mason handle him?
'Christian, enough!' Lissa said very angry. 'I am sorry. Sometimes he is a little lunatic.'
'It's okay I guess' I said waving her apology away.
'Rose, are you really okay?' Mason asked worried. Why are people always looking at me that way?
'Yes, I'm fine' I answered curtly. 'Just don't want to talk about it. I gotta go. Thanks for letting me sit here. And it was nice to meet you Lissa.' Christian cleared his throat. 'It was nice meeting you too' I said with a sarcastic tone in my voice. It made Lissa and Mason laugh. I was done eating and started to get up.
'Rose, wait' Lissa said. I sat back down and looked at her. 'Do you wanna shop tomorrow? I would like us to be friends. And if we are in periods together, do you want to sit together?' She asked
'Yes, I would like that. After school?'
'Yes, Just wait for me at your locker. See you tomorrow.'
'Bye all.' I said.
This day was going very well. Lissa and mason were very nice and we could be friends.I wasn't looking where I was walking when I bumped into someone and heard a girl scream. I fell on the ground on my but. I quickly got up and looked who it was I bumped into. It was a girl with blonde short hair.
'I am so so-' I tried to say before I got interrupted.
'Can't you just look where you walk you idiot!' she practicly screamed.
'I-'
'Who the hell are you even?' she said looking at me like I was a bug or something.
'That is none of your bussines. Now if you excuse me I am going.'
'Yeah, go run to your mommy.' She said. That hit me hard. No one talked about my mom. She didn't know it but this girl was a bitch anyway. I could see.
'I bet she has the same big ass as you do.' That was it. I lost my controle at that point. No one insults my mom. In turned around very fast and walked over to here. I punched her right on the nose. I heard a crack and she screamed in pain.
'STOP!'
I looked up from the girl right in the eyes of Miss Ozera. 'Enough! What the hell is going on here?!' she asked angry.
'I don't know her and she starts to punch me in the face' the girl said.
'That is not t-' I tried to say
'Go to the princaple, Rose.' Miss Ozera demanded.
'But..'
'NOW!'
I grabbed my bag and walked to the princaples office for the second time today. Only know I was in trouble. I saw people staring at me. Oh, boy. I was in really big trouble.
