I felt a gentle tug on my blanket. "Miss Fothea, the head mistress has asked for you at the dining hall."
I turned around and slept on my back, trying to wake up from a strange dream. I couldn't recall what happened. "Nana, how many times have I told you not to address me as 'miss'.", I said half asleep. "Pardon my speech dearie, but you can't free an old woman from her customs.", she giggled and stripped me off my comfortable, warm sheets. "What does mom want?!", I said annoyed by the streaks of daylight blinding my eyes as Nana unfurled the curtains. "Your mother has asked you to dress up and report downstairs asap." , said a voice near the door. It was Nadia, Nana's daughter, my best friend. "Ah! I get one day off and this happens!" , I groaned. "Get used to it Froth! We have school! Chop chop!", Nadia said nudging me off of the bed.
School?... OH Wait! I GO TO SCHOOL NOW! FRICKIN HELL! ITS MY FIRST DAY BETTER NOT BE LATE!!
my mind was having a seizure. I could feel my head throbbing from pressure and my hands wobbling from my fast motions. I put on the uniform and ran downstairs with my bag and a toast of bread in my mouth. "Bye Mom!", I said nonchalantly. "Have a nice day at school Fothea." , she said emotionlessly. I ran out the mansion gates and saw Nadia waiting for me staring at her phone and chewing gum. "Took you long enough.", she chuckled. We took our bicycles to school. The school was big not gonna lie, but it was a little too fancy for a public school. Before we entered I warned Nadia to keep my identity a secret, I wasn't keen on revealing myself to get fake friends. "Girl you sure are lucky to be wearing that hoodie over the uniform. If the dudes here see your figure they about to drop dead.", she teased. "But your face is enough to gain attention really... you don't realize how pretty you are, they will find out who you are one day though." , she continued. As we entered I could see faces from all directions staring at me. Nadia shook her head in dismay. "I'm gonna have to leave you here. I have to meet up with a friend for a project. Princy's office is right around the first left. It has been engraved in gold on the door so it won't be that hard to find.", she smiled and said. "Sure thing, see ya Nads!", I called out to her as she left. Everyone whispered and giggled around me. Schools are some weird shit... take it from me kids. Just as I was about to move forward I realized... I was in my flip flops! I forgot to put on shoes! AARGH!
