Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors, Oh My!

"Good morning sleepyhead, it's time for school." Said my mother at 6:20 AM, in the morning. "Just five more minutes.' The classic phrase i mumbled to my mother. I crawled from my bed to the bathroom where the lights blinded me so badly, I had to close my eyes and flail my arms around to find where I was going. I freshened up and grabbed some very stylish clothes that I picked out from the night before. It took me a long time to put clothes on because, I would put on my shirt then lie on the ground to rest, as if i had just run six miles and needed a break. I ate a tasty breakfast and grabbed my bag, the i realized- Oh my gosh I'm going to high school, and my life is never going to be the same!
I was so nervous in the maroon Flex on the way to Stevenson High School that it made me have to go to the bathroom really badly. So many random questions popped into my head like popcorn popping in the microwave. Where's my first class? Are my teachers going to be nice? Is my breath fresh? These were just some of the many questions that i came up with on that never ending drive to school.

I kept hoping that maybe the school burnt down and that I could go home, and go back to sleep in my warm cozy bed... But no it was there, just sitting like a giant English castle in the Middle Ages. " Time to get out pumpkin." My mother said in her comforting voice. "Oh yeah." I replied knowing that from this point on, my life was going to be completely different in ways i did not know. I got out of the car, crossed the street, and headed straight towords those blue, steel, and scary doors- and pulled them open!
Ahhhhh it's high school noooo! I screamed inside. The first thing i saw was Kelly Glynn. I ran up to her, I was so relived to see someone i knew.
" Wow i can't believe we're in high school."
" Oh my gosh, I know it's so weird."

We exchanged very little words since we knew we had to get to class, and we didn't want to get lost on the first day of school. I mean how embarrassing would it be wandering the halls, looking like a little child trying to find its mother in a crowded shopping mall. My locker was all the down B hall right next to Mr. Fielder's class, and according to every person B hall is the most crowded hall. At my locker, i devised up a plan to navigate to my classes. I felt like a spy on a secret mission coming up with some crazy plan on how to get the prized jewel, and like i was under a time restriction- which i was.

I walked to my first class, biology and somehow, without my knowing, the nervousness had lifted away like a feather in the wind. I felt so empowered just because i was in high school. I felt like nothing could touch me, like i was invincible. I was confident when i sat down next to Courtney Marschner and from that point on i knew, this is going to be a piece of cake.
