Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 (Tobias Frost)

Brrring! Brrring!

I wake up to the sound of my alarm. "It's too early for this." It's the first day of school and I don't want to go. Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with learning new stuff. It's the people part that I don't like. A few days ago, we went to the school to get the extra stuff that we needed, such as:

School uniform

Class Schedule

PE clothes

In this school, you need to wear a pretty formal uniform, and I don't mind it. It means I don't have to wake up every morning and try to find clothes to wear for the day. Doing that for my other school was pretty bothersome. I get up from my bed and head downstairs to eat. I didn't eat much because I don't have a huge appetite in the morning. After I was done eating, I went to the bathroom and got washed up. I then put on my clothes and headed downstairs. I had a few more minutes left before I had to leave for school. My father already left for work. Since he teaches at the same school that I'm going to, he has to wake up earlier than me and head out earlier. I'd hate being a teacher, I don't get how he does it. He is a quiet and reserved person like me, he hates talking to people when he doesn't have to, so I don't know why he decided to become a teacher, it involves too much talking. But of course, adults are weird. After a few minutes, I go out the door and towards my bus stop. There weren't many people at this bus stop, with how many houses are around here I thought it would be a bit more, yes, the houses are spread far apart, but there are a lot of houses. I guess they didn't want to have people walking that far. Although, with how few people there were, it was still really loud. How come people are so energetic in the morning, I don't get it.

"Bro! Long time no see!" Some dude calls out to someone else. Everyone seems really close. I guess that's what happens if you live in the same neighborhood for a long time. You develop friends.

"How have you been?" A girl asked another girl.

"I've been good!" The other girl responded. I walked past everyone and went to a quieter space with fewer people. There were 2 other people standing, they appeared to be listening to music or listening to something. They both had headphones in and were leaning up against a wall. I joined in, leaning against the wall, and put my headphones on. The rest of the trip to the school was pretty quiet. For how loud they were outside, I thought it was going to be louder on the bus, but the people here have pretty good manners. The drive to the school was around 20 minutes since we had a few more stops to go to. The school was pretty big, it was 2 stories tall and really wide. Luckily there was only one campus and not 2. At my other school, there were 2, and it was a pain to go from one to the other with the 6-minute passing time we had. In this school, there's only a 5-minute passing time, but it's going to be easier to get to my classes. People tried to talk to me while in class, it was annoying not being able to have my personal space. All I did was brush them off, not pay attention to them, I don't know why they kept on trying. Although they stopped when I turned away from them.
