We finally got to the school compound and must I say it was a massive one, occupying about an hectare of land, with ornament gracing the school surroundings, different paintings lined up the environment. Dad finally got a place to safely park, among varieties of vehicles in the parking lot.
It was when dad spoke up, saying we should get out of the car to get enrolled that reality hit me that I was actually going to start school here, new experiences in a new town and hell was I nervous.
Joe and I got down from the car, following our dad into the school that I saw the name of the school in bold prints "RIVERDALE HIGH SCHOOL". The nervousness hit again and as if Joe sensed it, held my hand as we climbed the stairs to enter the school hallway and I couldn't help but see how large the hallway was, adorned with beautiful paintings and artwork, I couldn't help but secretly marvel in awe, my thoughts were cut short when I noticed people staring at us like we had ten heads, unconsciously the nervousness set in again and I couldn't help but squeeze Joe's hand tighter like my life depended on it.
We finally got to the principal's office and I couldn't help but be relieved we were put of the preying eyes of the students.
"Morning Mr Badmus, I've been expecting you",the principal said offering my dad a handshake.
All through the conversation they both had, I couldn't help but examine the features of the principal, he was about average in height, still had full hair, probably still in his late thirties, he looked quite young to be the principal, compared to my old principal back in Chicago who was old with a fat belly and a glass always hanging on the tip of his nose. I noticed joe had s small smile on his face and I couldn't help but wonder if he was thinking the same thing I was, sometimes I wonder if we had psychic powers.
"Thank you for choosing RIVERDALE HIGH, I can promise you sure won't regret the decision", I finally hear the principal say to my after a lengthy conversation they both had.
"Here are your schedules guys, there's a mini map on it Incase you get lost, if you ever need help, you can ask any student around or come straight to my office and we'll be most happy to help you as much as we can", he says with a smile, handing Joe and I individual schedule, then I realized I had English for 3 periods straight.
"It's not that bad I guess", I mentally say to myself
"Thank you sir", Joe and I say
"Oh, it's fine and you can call me Mr Harper".
"Thank you so much for your time and help", dad says standing up and sealing the conversation with a handshake
"It's my utmost pleasure"
"Come on guys, you don't want to ve late to class", dad says and we stand up, leaving Mr Harper's office
"Have a good day", we hear Mr Harper say after us
"Alright guys, I have to get to work now but I hope you guys have a great day today, try and be positive, all right?. Who knows you guys can make new friends this first week", dad says the last part with a smile and I can't help but wonder if the last part was directed at me but whatever.
"Alright bye dad, have a great day at work too", Joe says
" Bye dad",I say giving him a warm hug
" Bye princess, be good all right! ", He says giving me a warm peck on my forehead before going outside the school hallway to the direction of his car.
"What do you have now?", Joe asks
"English, what about you?".
"Accounting".
"Alright, come on, let's find you your class first", he says taking my hand and my schedule looking at the mini map to try and find my class through the swarm of students before the warning bell rings.
