Maya's P.O.V.
Today is the first day of school. I woke up even before my alarm rang. I haven't been so excited for school for years! I got out of bed, and straightened the sheets. I went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. After that, I went to the vanity and did my hair. I got out my hair curler to curl my hair to a natural wave. I then changed out of my pajamas and into comfortable clothes with a leather jacket. I got out my backpack and organized my stuff. I put on my shoes and went out the door.
I went to Riley's house as usual every morning. I have breakfast there with the Matthews family. They made me feel like a part of the family. I went into Riley's room without a knock. Riley is nowhere to be seen, but she is actually covered in sheets. It is also obvious that Riley was still in bed. I didn't bothered to wake Riley up today. I hope she set her alarm. RING! Riley alarm rang. It was 6:45.
"Wow! Maya. You woke up even before I did. How is that possible? Your usually have me to wake you up and sometimes you still wouldn't budge," Riley said.
"I am trying to completely reinventing myself. During the summer, I made a vow that I will have to become a new me by the time that I enter high school. And I did!" I said excitedly. Riley nodded, and walked into her closet to change out of her pajamas.
"Maya come with me to pick out my outfit?" Riley said, pulling my hand and leading her to the closet. "Do you think I should dress quirky, or more like an adult?" Riley asked, picking up the two outfits.
"Definitely the adult one. You don't want to be the same as middle school," I said. Riley smiling and went into the dressing room to change her clothes.
"How do I look?" Riley said, wearing a mini skirt with a gorgeous top. She was wearing a charm bracelet and wedgies.
"Awesome! You and I are gonna wow everyone with our new look," I said, "oh no, it is already 7:00! We are gonna be late for school! Hurry!" This time, Maya grabbed Riley's hand as they grab their backpacks and shoes. They went out the door after they have a quick breakfast.
Riley and I were arriving at the subway station. I put my metro card in the slot and went into the station. We waited about three minutes for the train to arrive because the last one left when we came. "Riles. Do you think kind of nervous first day?" Maya asked.
"Yeah, that always happens on the first day. We are gonna be at school in 4 minutes. High school is way closer than JQA," Riley said. I nodded. When they got to the station, the got out of the subway and walked out. I can't wait anymore but to have my amazing high school experience to start. I already know that it is going to be my best four years of my life with the support of my best friends.
