Chapter 4: Chapter 2 (Highschool)
Mia POV:
Wake up sweetie!! You are going to be late. I heard my mum voice from downstairs. I groaned as I glance at my nightstand clock which was mocking me that it's 6:00a.m.
Why school is always this early? I thought while grunting.
I ambled towards the bathroom and did my morning routine, I then sauntered towards my closet and took out my today's outfit after contemplating for an half an hour, I decided to wear a white top with a blue jacket and a pant. I stripped my clothes and change into my outfit. I then walk in front of my vanity and untangled my brown curly hair, I applied pink colour gloss on my already pinkish plump lips. I also applied concealer on my face in order to hide the under eye bags which have been quite prominent since my father's death as I have been crying a lot. After completing my look, I grabbed my backpack and headed downstairs.
The smell of beacon, coffee and waffles hit my nose making my mood instantly pleasant.
"Good morning mum, I said as I saw her placing breakfast on the table."
"Good morning sweetie, she said as she turned and walk in my direction."
" You are looking beautiful. She complimented as she kissed me on the cheeks."
"Thanks mum.. I said while placing a kiss on her delicate cheeks."
"Have breakfast, it's ready." She said, pointing towards the table.
I ambled towards the table and sat across to my mum's chair.
"Here!! She said while placing the food in my plate." I happily dig in it, while she enjoyed her food.
"I have an interview in a company which is on the way of your school, so I will drop you off today." She said with a smile to which I nod smilingly.
After having our breakfast, we were on the roads towards my school.
God!! I can't imagine I am doing it. I am going to highschool. After being homeschooled half of my life, without making friends, without facing much people, now I am going to a school filled with them. What disaster will I do there? Will I be able to face the crowd there? God!! Will I be able to survive the day?
I am a nervous wreck at this point, thinking of all the questions my mind is bombarding me with.
"Mia Sweetie, Are you all right?!" My mum asked while looking at me, concerned filled in her blue eyes.
I am anything then being fine now but I can't say that to my mum sooner or later I have to built the courage in me to overcome my fears of seeing people and I think it's the time now to do it.
"Yeah.. I am fine, just a little nervous." I said.
"Well I can understand that as it is your first day, but don't worry you will do good sweetie." She said while caressing my cheeks with her fragile hands.
I nodded at her with a smile.
"Thanks mum." I said.
"Always." She said as she stopped the car with a jerk infront of a crowded place that is now my school.
"Here we are." She exclaimed looking at a big building in front of us.
"I have to go now." I said smiling towards her. Her words now have soothe me and I am no more feeling that nervousness.
"Wait sweetie, I have to guide you about a few things before you go in there." She said in a serious tone.
"What is it mum?" I asked curiously.
"Mia sweetie, it's your first time going in a place which is filled with many people. So please take care of yourself and don't stand or do anything that is wrong." She said politely while questioning me. "Do you understand?"
"Got it mum." I said smiling while embracing her in a warm hug.
"Best of luck for the interview mum." I whisper in her ear.
"You too." She said with a smile and I head out of the car, I waved at my mum and head towards the big building.
I ambled towards the big building and stood in front of the main iron gates, I observed the building on top of it was written the school name in beautiful calligraphic pattern it reads.
"Saint Martin Highschool Florida."
The building is consists of six floors. At the left and right of it was different departments with two to three floors. School starts at 8:00a.m and it is still 7:00 a.m making me early, which means I have an hour to get my schedule, to know my locker and to search my class.
I let out a sigh and entered in. Students are passing by me, some were standing at the corners and were busy in talking and laughing with their groups. Some were on their phones, some were snapping pictures guess what?! Everybody was busy in their own worlds but as I pass them they all stop and do one thing which I hate and that is they were all staring at me. Guess.. now they knew they have a new comer? I thought.
Some were whispering while looking at me, some eyes were stuck on me, some were glaring at me, while some were laughing on me in a mocking manner. I ignored them and ambled in the main department as I entered at a distance I saw a board saying admin office. I smiled to myself and went in the direction that the arrow on the board was pointing towards. I saw a few cabin offices that were small yet cosy. All of them have the board fixed on it. I ambled towards the one that I wanted to go to.
I opened the glass door and entered in. A young woman was sitting at the table, her hair was styled in a tight bun and on her nose was rested her specs.
"Hello dear, how can I help you?" She asked with a warm smile.
"Well ma'am, I am new here. So I needed my schedule and a school map." I said politely.
"Oh I see..name?" She asked.
"Mia Steward." I replied.
"OK dear.. let me check." She said as took out the black file which have a stack of papers in it from the drawer and started flipping it.
"Yeah here it is." She said as she took out the paper from the file and handed me.
"Thank you." I said while glancing at the schedule and the map.
"Welcome dear. Please come by the end of the classes, so that I can sign your paper and have your sign too." She said as she pointed towards the paper that I was holding.
"I will keep that in mind." I said.
"Great.. hope you enjoy your day here." She said.
"You too.." I replied and with that I left her office.
I viewed my schedule, I have Organic in first period. I glance at my watch which is ticking 7:20a.m. Great!! I have enough time to find my locker and the classroom. I thought and with that I take a look at the map and head towards the locker room.
After ambling for nearly 10 to 15 minutes, I finally reached towards the area with the lockers. A group of girls wearing short skirts and having full-blown make up on their faces were busy in doing something with the lockers. They were laughing talking about someone's reaction and how mad that person would be.
I guess.. they were going to pull prank on someone. One thing is sure that I am going to be as far away from them as possible.
I ignored them and ambled towards the lockers searching for mine.
"Hey!! What do you think you are doing?" A girl with a blonde hair asked as she soon as she saw me.
" I am searching for a locker." I said with a calm voice, controlling my nervousness.
"Oh so you are new here." Another girl with a green hair came forward.
"What is with their hair colours? Everyone of them has a different one, Did they all decided to try different colours? I thought.
"Hey girl we are asking from you. Are you deaf or did you just lost your tongue?" A girl with an orange hair said in a mocking tone to which all the other girl laughs.
"Well, I am neither deaf nor I lost my tongue and I think you can clearly see it unless you are blind or dumb yourself." I said with anger laced in my tone.
Well I don't talk in this way but when I get angry I kind of just say whatever comes in my mind without thinking about the consequences.
All of the sudden the girl with blond hair came towards me. She grabbed my arm while all the other girls surrounds me with angry look plastered on their faces.
I struggled in her grip to which she tighten her hold on my arm digging her long black nails into my skin. I hissed in pain.
"Leave me." I shouted.
"Oh not this soon.. first we will teach you a lesson then I will grant you your wish." She said mockingly. Her face was covered with heavy make up, she have black eyes that was looking deadly at my own emerald ones.
And before I knew it, she slapped me across the face, the loud sound can be heard in the silent corridors. My face sting and I heard the girls around me laughing. My senses became numb all of a sudden because this is the first, no not first it is the second time I am going to hit by a stranger, the first time.. well forget about that for now.
"You better watch out from us new girl. From now on, I will include you on my list to make your life in here a living hell." She said as she pushed me and I fall down hitting the floor hard. She then went away with her mates.
What just happened? I get hit, I get a warning even before my day starts. How am I suppose to survive here with all those fudge nuggets around me? And holy cow how can she just slapped me and walked out like that?
"You guys should watch out from me. I am not going to tolerate your crap." I found myself speaking.
