Secrets

Chapter 3 : First Day

Monday, September, 19th, 6:45 am. 

*beep beep beep* Ugh stupid alarm. 

First day of school. I didn't feel like doing anything today but I had to get up. I head to the bathroom to get ready. I went clothes shopping on Saturday, that was pretty fun. I showered the night before because I didn't want to get rushed in the morning. I was all ready, I had patched jeans with a white sweater and some Doc Martens. I headed downstairs for breakfast and Mom made me pancakes and fruit. 

"So, how are you feeling princess?" She asks in excitement. 

"A bit tired but otherwise I'm excited," I respond 

School usually starts on August 18th but because I just moved, I just go in as if nothing ever happened. I have 7 class periods. My first class of the day is English with Mrs.Clark. I finished breakfast and got some snacks for school. I grabbed my new backpack and headed to the car. It was 7:30 am. I started at 7:45 on Mondays. 

"Bye honey, have a great day, I love you!" Mom said as she drove by. 

Woah...this place is..huge. How am I gonna find my classes here? I could hear kids yelling from all over places. I tried not to embarrass myself like I always do. English 301, right in front of me was 204 so it might be upstairs. Just when my right foot touches the stair, I hear someone say my name. I turn around and see Ava. 

"Hey Sydney, I'm glad to see you again!" She exclaims. 

"Hey, I'm happy to see you as well!" I respond.

"Need help finding your class?" She asks.

"Mhm.." 

She shows me around 5 minutes before I have to go to class. 

"Here is Mrs. Clark's room, I'll be here at 8:45 to get you, I assume you have a 15-minute break?" 

"That would be great, thank you, and um yes I do have a break at 8:45!" 

All of a sudden I started feeling dizzy, I slowly approach the classroom door and gently open it. 

"Hello there, I assume you are Sydney, Sydney Baker!" Ms.Clark exclaimed.

"Uh yes, that's me !" I say in a nervous voice. 

"Class, this is Sydney, she's new to SunnySide Academy, Would you like to present yourself?" She said in a calm voice. 

"Oh yeah, sure..." I was about to faint, everyone was staring at me. There were about 12 students in the class. 

"My name is Sydney Baker, I'm new in town, I like painting and gaming, that's basically it," I said in an embarrassed voice. I was sweating. 

"Great, you can go sit by Dylan over there," she exclaimed.

Dylan waves at me, so I head his way and take a seat. I set my backpack on the ground and listen to whatever the teacher is saying.

"Today is a pretty chill day, I need you all to take out your laptops and open the document I sent. "Sydney, I will send you it on your new school email." She said. 

I got my laptop out of my bag and placed it on the table. I looked out the window beside me and then looked back at my laptop. 

"Hey, do you need help signing in?" Dylan asked.

He smelled like cherries and his hair looks so smooth. His smile was adorable. 

"Sure, it's kinda confusing me," I responded. 

"There you go, you're now signed in the school email and internet!" He exclaimed

"Perfect, thank you," I say

"You can get started by answering the questions on the doc." Ms.Clark added

Dylan and I talked all class, he helped me and I helped him. We exchanged snaps and I got his number. I mean, after all, he's cute, but I wouldn't date him. It was 8:30 when we had finished our work. So, we just talked and pretended like we were working. He was talking about the school and the teachers. We have English, Science and History class together so that's fun.

"We're done for today, don't forget to send me your work on email, you are dismissed!" Ms.Clark announced. The class started packing up and headed out the door. I waved at Dylan and walked out. The first thing I saw, was Ava standing next to the classroom door. 

"Oh hey, you actually came!" I cheered

"Yeah, of course!" She replied

"Let's go to the chilling area, it's a place for breaks or studying." 

"Sure, sounds fun!" I reply

While walking down the stairs, a group of girls stops to talk to Ava.

"Hey Ava, who's that you got with you," they said in a sarcastic voice.

"That's my friend, Sydney." She said

Did she just call me a friend? Oh my gosh...

"Hmm, she looks like some peasant, I've never seen her around here. 

"First of all, don't call her a peasant and she's new here, it's her first day." She replied furiously.

"Whatever, see you losers!" She said as she walked away.

"Oh my god, ignore them, those are the mean girls."

"Right..." 

"Have you met anyone yet?" She asked

"Oh yeah, a guy called Dylan, he's pretty sweet," I respond.

"Oh, that guy, yeah I know him." 

We arrived at the chilling area. It's amazing in here! There's a snack and drinks table, bean bags, desks, a tv, and so much more. We go sit at the bean bags, the sun was shining from the big windows. Ava and I chat for a little bit and then we exchange numbers so we can stay in contact.
