As soon as we get to the school we all go to the office to give them our paperwork and get our class lists and locker information. Then we are each paired with a senior student to show us around for the day.
I guess they don't have any female school escorts because we all got boys. I will admit the guy I was paired with is cute. I know I am staring at him, but I can't help it. Every time I try to turn away he calls my attention back to him. He tells me his name is Byron. Then I introduce myself. I don't know why but he smiles at me when I tell him my name is Makayla. I shrug it off and we start walking down the hall. First he shows me to my locker, there we test it out to make sure we have the right combo. It works so we are all good there. Then he takes me around the school. He shows me the cafeteria, he points me toward the attendance office. He even shows me where the nurses office is. Next he takes a closer look at my class schedule. Then he tells me the oh so good news. It seems we have all the same classes. The only difference is I have choir while he has p.e. and he has choir while I have p.e. I'm not sure if this makes me happy or sad. So he shows me to our first class. We have Spanish class. We have a few minutes before class starts so he introduces me to the teacher then she signs my paper and points me to a two person desk with an empty chair in the back of the room. I go sit down and wait for him to sit as well. It turns out he sits in the middle of the room. As we wait for the bell to ring I get out my notebook and pen.
When the bell rings people start filing in. As I watch the kids file in a see a tall, thin brunette stop at Byron's desk. I don't know why but it upsets me to think he has a girlfriend. After they finished talking she comes over and sits next to me. I think to myself" great this can't end well."
Once everyone is seated the teacher takes roll. Then she has me stand up and introduces me to the class. Then she asks me to tell the class a little about myself.
"Hello my name is Makayla. We just moved here last week. My mom is the new head doctor. My dad works at the post office. I have three older brothers. This is my junior year. I have a dog and a cat. I love to swim. I write as a hobby. Other than that I'm not that exciting."
"Well we will try to give you something exciting to do."
Then the kids start laughing and we start class.
I notice Byron watching me but I don't want to look at him full on since I'm sitting with his girlfriend. I really don't want to deal with that drama. I learned during roll her name is Ariana. Since I came in mid quarter Ariana is helping me get caught up with the rest of the class. She shares her book with me. I run through the phrases I know and she does the same. We introduce ourselves in Spanish and that's when I learn she is not his girlfriend but his twin. They are seventeen years old. They just had their birthday last week. They have lived here all their lives. She works at the little store in town. After that we start going over our classes. It seems we do share all the same classes. All in all I find that she is a really sweet girl and I can't wait for us to become friends.
Finally the bell rings and we head to the next class. Both Byron and Ariana walk with me. We pass each one of my brothers. I point them all out to the twins. After seeing each one of my brothers they give each other a strange look then we head to math class. Once again I have to introduce myself and get my paper signed and I get to sit with Ariana again. This makes me happy. We talk more and get to know each other better. We do great till we get to fourth period p.e. Here it is just me and Ariana. I hate p.e. Luckily I don't have to dress out since its my first day. I had the teacher sign my paper like every class then went and sat down. The teacher talks to us about going out for sports and what teams we can try out for. Then he breaks us into groups telling us we can choose an activity to do for the period. Me and Ariana walk the track, and that's where the issues start.
A group of five girls come up behind us. The leader a girl named Kindra starts making fun of me. I'm used to this kind of thing but Ariana doesn't like it and gets pissy with her. I'm not sure what Ariana did but the five girls turned and ran the other way. I laughed and told her thank you. Then she tells me she will be my body guard. I laugh but agree and we walk on.
After that we go to lunch. Both of the twins sit with me and some of their friends join us. After lunch we have choir, English, and history. They were quiet classes. I got my paper signed and either sat with Ariana or both twins depending on the class. Then when class was over I turned in my papers At the office and then waited for my brother's to show up. When my brother's finally caught up with me, I introduced Ariana and Byron to everyone, they we headed our own separate ways. On the walk home my brothers ignored me and talked to each other about their classes.
Once we got to the house we did our homework then I made dinner. Shortly before I finished mom and dad came home and we all talked about our day.
