"Ellie!" my mom called from downstairs.

I was in the middle of putting posters on my wall since we just moved here and all.

"What?" I yell back slipping a little and almost falling off the chair.

Why must I be so clumsy?

"Dinners ready! I made your favorite!" she yelled back.

"Ooo!" I squeal quietly to myself as I run down the stairs.

As I got to the bottom of the stairs I could already smell the Waffles.

Yes, I know, waffles. Breakfast for dinner is my favorite!

I sit down at the kitchen table and my mom gives me my plate. A waffle with powdered sugar, syrup, topped off with sliced bananas and whipped cream.

As I dig in, my mom starts talking to me about tomorrow. It's the first day of junior year here in this new place. We had just moved to a tiny little town, called Millburry, in Nevada not to far from Clark county which is neighboring las Vegas so I was really excited but really nervous about making new friends here. I have social anxiety and am very shy. People just seem to like to pick on me.

After all, I am the redhead girl with the scarred up legs, freckled face, frizzy haired, just plain ugly, shy girl. Never had a boyfriend, or even a first a kiss, for that matter.

"Are you excited?" my mom asked eagerly.

"Um, kind of, yeah. But I'm also really nervous." I say looking at the floor.

We talked for a little while longer about who my teachers are and what electives I chose to take.

Hey everyone! I'm new at this so bear with me. I know I'm a pretty bad writer, I just do it for fun.

I just wanted to let you guys get to know Ellie a little bit in the first chapter.

Thanks for reading! 🐼🐼
