I sighed and looked at the huge building in front of me. This is going to be fun, I thought sarcastically as I entered the school. I looked at my papers and walked to the gym where the orientation was going to be held, I had basically only 30 minutes to get there.
I could say that I found my way pretty well but, that would be a lie. Sadly, I had to use the map on the school website while trying not to make any eye contact with anyone. Now, right now you might see some flaws in this plan like, why would you do that? That's unfriendly? Or hey, that would look pretty strange. Or even, how could you see where you're looking then? Well, if you're thinking the third option, then you're the lucky winner! After about three minutes of walking, I had bumped into something which isn't unusual since I'm basically the queen of bumping into things and tripping over air.
I didn't really think much of it until the thing talked. Originally, I just figured it was a trash can, a tall soft trash can but, I was wrong. It was a person, and it wasn't just one person, it was two people, a couple, in the middle of kissing.
The girl looked at me with utter disgust. "Eww, watch where you're going... Newbie,"
   I nodded not really caring about anything she said and continued to try to figure out where the gym was. This shouldn't be that hard, was my original thoughts, but that was before five minutes of searching basically the whole building. How could I not find it? It's the second largest room in the school, basically. I sighed checking the map again when I realized I was looking at the second floor, the whole stinking time. Maybe if I asked someone... Nope, not doing that, especially since I'm a socially awkward couch potato. I would probably somehow figure out a way to embarrass myself. No matter what situation or person I'm talking to, I always end up messing up. Even for that job interview I had at McDonalds. Luckily it didn't really matter since the only reason I did that was because my mom kept talking about how I should get a job and how all I do anyway is go on electronics and watch YouTube. Meanwhile, my dad was pressuring me about how our family is running low on money and I should put an effort to help. I still don't have a job... I'll get one though... One day.
I continued trying to figure out how to get to the gym. "Okay," I muttered quietly. "If that's the cafeteria then-"
Some kid next to me snorted. "Are you talking to yourself? What a weirdo,"
I tried to think of some awesome comeback but could think of nothing. Plus, I was worried a teacher would hear me and send me to detention. I've never been there... And don't want to... Ever. That's when I realized the kid was still staring at me expecting for a response or something. "Are you usually this quiet or are you just speechless because of my awesomeness? OH! BURN!" He said
"Ugh," I groaned. I hated when people did that. "Well... Well... Umm..."
I couldn't think of anything so I decided to just walk away. Eventually, I found the gym! I quickly got my ID and my stuff then sighed. I had to go onto another quest to find the auditorium, great.
After about two *cough* ten minutes of searching, I found it and quickly sat down at the end of a row of chairs, continuing to try to think of comebacks to say.
I didn't ask you, you filthy mudblood
Well you're a weirdo too, stalker
Why are you even listening in? Can't resist my voice?
Ugh, why didn't I say anything?
The auditorium seats quickly started filling up and that's when someone decided to sit down next to me. Please don't talk to me, please don't talk to me. "Hi," it said
"Umm... Hi..." I said
"Are you new? My name's Valentina, I know, it's a long name, what's yours?"
"Umm... My name's Emma..."
   "Eww, that name sucks," that same kid who had made fun of me said.
"Well, Emma is also the name of the savior," Valentina said
The kid scoffed. "Nerd,"
"I am not a nerd, a nerd is a highly smart intelligent person which I am not that smart enough to be qualified, I am a fangirl, get your facts right,"
"Loser..."
The kid walked away. "Thanks..." I mumbled.
"No problem, Josh could be really annoying sometimes,"
"Yeah."
Even though the day basically just started, I was already tired. Actually, I was tired the moment I woke up. I really shouldn't of stayed up late watching those videos...
"Hello students," the principal finally said as the lights dimmed.

Okay, so, I know that those comebacks were pretty bad and that this whole chapter is really cringy but, oh well. As I said, I'm not that good of a writer but, anyway, have a nice day. Bye!
