Today I woke up early. Not because something was on my mind. This time it was actually the opposite; because of school. Today was the first day of high school, starting in 10th grade. I had butterflies banging on the sides of my stomach. I was nervous as hell especially because of what Roc told me; we have to sing infront of the class. I tried to ignore it as I got ready. I ended up wearing a blue blazer, american flag shorts with studs on the back pocket, white button up dress shirt, long necklaces, rings, and red/ white jordans. My makeup is mascara, little eyeliner, and red lips and my hair was in a middle part that was wavy. My bag was a long side bag that is medium brown leather. In it was: School supplies & hip hop dance clothes. I took one long hard look in the mirror, maybe like 15 minutes. I needed to get rid of the girl I knew 3 months ago. I had to look presentable; like I'm confident and assure of myself, but NOT an arrogant bitch.
Jacob: Come on Chanel! We have to go or we'll be late on the 1st day!
me: Ok coming.
I walked down the steps confident as ever and had my game face on. I could tell Jacob thought i looked really good because he had a big smile on his face.
Jacob: Woah!
me: What do you think?
Jacob: My sister is growing up! Come here!
me: Awww Jakee!
I went up to him and gave him areally tight hug and he picks me up and kisses my cheek.
Jacob: Now come on its *looks at phone* 6:54 and school starts at 7:40.
me: Do you hear yourself? You are most definitely not black.
Jacob: Well I wanna get starbucks then we gotta get our schedules and chill.
me: You are STILL most definitely not black.
Jacob: Whatever. *start walking out the door*
me: Wait! I needa say bye to mommi and daddi!
Jacob: Ok hurry up!
me: Shut up!
I walk back up stairs say my goodbyes and go back to Jacob and get into the car driving to my home away from home for the next 3 years....after we stopped at Starbucks. 10 minutes later we pulled up infront of a big school that has PAAHS on a marquee with 3 differnt flights of starts with velvet ropes as the railing and red carpet ontop of the stairs. I automatically knew this was going to be my favorite place to be. I waited as Chase opened the door for me and took a deep breath. I stepped out and put my game face on; lifted my head with confidence, shoulders back, then walked slowly and carefully as some people stared with good looks on thier faces. For once in my life, I walked up to a school and people actually gave me nice looks than snickers, points, and laughs. It felt so good. I was home.
Jacob and I walked side by side with each to the registersation booth.
Ms.Samuels: Hello welcome to PAAHS. Grade?
