Chapter 3: Acting Suspicious
The next day Cici woke up and found herself lying on the floor.
Must've fell, she thought.
Cici got up slowly and groggily, and shuffled to the bathroom. To wake herself up a bit more, she got a handful of cold water and splashed it on her face.
Better.
She undressed and got into the shower. She would normally sing happily, but today she was silent.
Well, silent physically. But she was having a lot of shower thoughts.
What if they don't like me at my new school? Would I get bullied? I wonder if I have a nice teacher. Oh god, what if I have to sit by myself at lunch? That would be so embarrassing! Cici thought, before she stopped the shower water and got out, reprimanding herself.
Calm down Cici! You're friends will help you out.
Cici covered herself in a towel and rushed to her room, where she dressed in a yellow polo shirt and black pleated skirt, their school uniform. She sat on her bed and reached for her iPad, opening up Messages and going onto their group chat.
BFF'S 💛💜

Adelaide 8:35am
Since Evie and Brianna have ditched, meet me in front of your house in five and I'll walk to school with u.
Cici 8:35am
Thanks Ady. Cya soon.
That was strange. Brianna and Evie were never in a hurry to get to school, and they would most definitely ask questions about her moving. She would talk to them at school, but for now, she had to worry about eating breakfast and getting her bag packed in five minutes.
Cici put her iPad down on the bedside table and put her white socks and blue sneakers on, before rushing out to the kitchen to get an apple and some orange juice. Once she gulped everything down she moved to her small backpack, putting some random leftover lasagna in for lunch and for recess a packet of chips.
What am I forgetting? Oh right! Need to brush my teeth, duh! Cici rushed to the bathroom and brushed her teeth, before brushing her hair and pulling it into a high ponytail. No, how about a braid? Better.
Cici lifted her face and studied her features in the bathroom mirror. She was a fairly pretty girl, with pale skin and freckles all over. She had thick, shoulder length brown hair that cascaded down in perfect waves. Her fringe was short, and frizzy. She had a small button nose and full lips that fit her face perfectly. Her emerald irises glowed in the light, seated inside her bold eyes.
"I'm walking to school with Adelaide mum!" Cici called out.
"Have fun darl, enjoy your last day okay?" Amy replied. Cici replied okay and slung her backpack over her shoulder then walked out the front door to wait for Adelaide.
This is my last day Cici, she thought, make it count.
