Fake Smiles, Chapter One
A new chapter in my life

Hayley;

I walk downstairs slowly. My mom films me while Annie's eating breakfast.

"Good morning Hay" she says smile.

"Morning" I say. And of course, I fake smile. I always do.

I eat my waffles in silence. Today's is gunna be different.

I'm going to a new school and Annie's friend is coming over.

I think her brothers are too. I never met them before. Obviously I've seen them before, but I never talked to them.

I wonder if they go to my school? Well, the younger one. I head upstairs and change. I put on a white and black stripped shirt, a light washed jean jacket, and some light washed blue jeans.

I put on some blue and purple socks, then I slip on my white converse. I put my hair in a bun and I run downstairs.

"Bye Mom. Bye Annie" I say as I grab my bag, apple and my phone.

"Bye Hayley. Have a great day" my mom says.

"Bye Hay Hay" Annie says.

I run out the door and I start walking to my new school.

Once I get there I go to the office.

"Hello. I'm Mrs Benson, what can I do for you?" She says very nicely.

"I'm the new student"

"Name?" She asks as she types on her computer.

"Hayley Noelle Leblanc"

"Ok. Here's your schedule" she heads me a piece of paper.

"Thanks. Bye Mrs Benson"

"Bye Ms Leblanc"

I smile at her. For once it's a real smile.
I walk to class 231, my home room.

I take a deep breath and walk in.

"Oh hello, Hayley right?"

"Yeah"

"Come up here and tell the class about yourself. Also I'm Mr John"

I walk to the front of the class. This is nerve wracking. Mainly when you have anxiety.

"Hello. I'm Hayley. I'm 13 years old and I have 1 sibling, a sister. My favorite color is Blue. I'm also a level 9 gymnast at 1st class gymnastics"

"Good job Hayley. You can sit next tooooo...Ryan!" He says. He points to a boy, then I realize who he is.

He's Katie's brother.

I sit next to him awkwardly.

"I'm gunna go get some paper, don't cause trouble" he says and walks out the door.

"By any chance are you Hayley Leblanc?" He asks.

I turn to him.

"Yeah. And you are Ryan Donnelly?" I ask.

We laugh as he nods.

We start talking until the teacher comes in.

•

Mr John gets a call.

"Hello. Yes. Okay. Bye"

He hangs up.

"Ryan Donnelly, to the front office and Hayley you can walk with him, so you can know how to get to the front office from here"

"Yes sir" Me and Ryan say at the same time. The class laughs, including us.
