This was going to be a terrible year.

"BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP"

My annoying alarm ruins yet another wonderful dream. I rolled over and tap my phone, ending the sounds. I slide to the center of the bed and sigh, it was the first day of school, which was absolutely terrible. They say summer break, but they mean 40 days of stress about classes. I sit up in my bed, my hair was fluffed up, and going in every direction.

I rub my bloodshot eyes and slide over to the side of my bed facing the door. My feet slide into a pair of slippers. I stand up and almost fall, which wasn't the best thing to do. I open my door and walk down the stairs, trying to be as quiet as I can. I reach the kitchen and grab some cereal from a cabinet. I pour it into a green bowl and pour some milk into it.

I eat the cereal, while looking like an image of death. My phone vibrates on the counter, I reach towards it and see a text from Nicole, with the Penguin emoji's around her name, as they were her favorite animal. I unlocked my phone and read the text message.

NA- Want to walk to school with me, I have to set up my allergy stuff with the new nurse \

KP- Sure, I might be out I little late, I am a physical representation of death

NA- .________________.

KP- ^u^

I finished my cereal and went back upstairs, I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth, I look at my reflection, it was my pure tiredness, my eyes were bloodshot and eyes had bags. I spit out my toothpaste and take some water to rinse my mouth. I walk out of the bathroom and back into the bedroom. I look around my closet and dresser for an outfit to wear. I find a flannel shirt to wear, which was green, and absolutely comfortable, it was already getting cold and this winter was supposed to be extremely cold.

I get my clothes on and slyly walk downstairs, my dad was downstairs sipping on coffee, and my mom was reading The Economist. I filled up my water bottle and put it in the compartment in my messenger bag, which was decorated in various patches with the things I liked, things like the deathly hallows, the american flag, and other fandom things. I grab two to-go cups. I grab a green tea and lemon tea packet. I place them under the black Keurig coffee maker, to get some hot water.

Once they were filled up I put the desired sugar in them, and started to walk out the door, my dad yelled "Have a good day!" I opened the door and was met by Nicole Avery, my best friend she waved to me wearing her ice cream emoji sweater. She smiled at me and waved for me to get going and catch up to her. I handed her the tea she always likes.

"So, how was your summer?" She asked me, walking right next to me.

"Good, you?" I ask, already knowing the answer.

"Good," She had a green grid backpack with various shades. It was around a ten to fifteen minute walk to the school, which was a good time to talk. "I can't believe we have almost every class together!"

"I know, its awesome, best year yet" We turned a corner cautiously to not get hit by a car and end up as dead meat. We came upon the four way intersection, and obviously. I took a sip of the green tea, which was supposed to help you in many ways, I only really liked it for taste, so added bonus. We turned to the right and saw the small silhouette of the school, just on the horizon.

We entered the school. I walked Nicole to the nurse's office to drop off her allergy medicine. She exited and we went on our way. We both pulled out our schedules to navigate the maze of hallways, kids were listening to music and checking photos, screaming at their "BFFLZ" and the average stuff for the first day. Nicole and I walked up the stairs and were on the 2nd floor, we had Mrs. Devita, who was a nice teacher who taught Social Studies/History. We both entered our Homeroom, Mrs. Devita greets us, but as students, not knowing our names yet. We sat down in the middle row of desks.

I pulled out red binder, as the order of this years classes was organized as rainbow for me. I got everything ready, my binder, planner, homework folder, and then of course pencils and pens. Nicole had her stuff out. I looked around the class, there were likeable people here, like Skyler Wolfe, Meghan Sanwich, and other likeable characters. I pulled out my phone again and unlocked it. I checked social media one more time, seeing if anymore schedules were posted.

I then checked my Wattpad, one of my favorite apps. It was actually how Nicole and I met. We were sorta introverted kids who both had one, we befriended each other, and when we realized who we were, we sorta became best friends. I had a few notifications, but they were mostly books I didn't read that I forgot to get rid from my library or just haven't read. A few more kids entered the classroom while I wasn't paying attention. Mrs. Devita was organizing her desk.

The whole class was filled with Nicole and I's friends, I walk over to Skyler and Meghan.

"Can I see your schedule?" I ask them.

"Sure." They both answer. I scan the schedule, we had every class together, which was good, we were great friends. I hand them back their schedules before walking back to Nicole.

"We have like every class with skyler and Meghan!" I tell her. She looks up from her phone.

"Really?!" She says.

"Really." I tell her. She smiles and fist bumps me.

Maybe this year won't be so bad after all.
