First day....gotta make an impression. What should I wear?? No pressure. They'll just judge me the entire year based on what I wear today. I stare at my open cupboard thinking. Should it be studious or dressy or....I don't know! I suppose I should go with the black leather jacket as usual......coz when in doubt always go black!!😂😂 So I pick out a black top, a black amd white patterned short skirt and the leather jacket of course. Something's still missing! Oh right! My cross pendant! Now, for makeup....hmm let me see. I suppose I should go simple. Shouldn't be too intimidating. I chose a rose pink lip colour that was perfect for my olive skin tone. "Come down fast Emily! I've got to drop your sister too!" That was my mother. "Coming!" I replied. I quickly pulled my dark hair back and put on my converse. Then I went downstairs and my mom asked, "Ready for your new school??" "Excited!" "Great! I was worried that you would grumble...okay let's head out! But uh....don't you think that skirt is a bit short for..."said mom, but before she could complete her sentence, I snapped, "Mom!!!!😒" "Okay, okay, let's go Missy. And remember I've taken an appointment from the guidance counsellor. You've got to reach there by 8:00 and don't be late! First impression should be good."she said while we headed out the door.
Where is the guidance counsellors room?? "Hey!" A geeky girl waved at me. I went over to her. A weird guy was standing beside her. "Looking for somethin? I am Damian by the way."said the guy. "Do I look that confused? Well, thankyou. I'm emily and I just transferred. Can you show me the way to the guidance counsellor?" "Guidance?! You don't need to go to the counsellor for guidance. Stick with us, we will get you through all of higher secondary." Said the girl. Damian interrupted,"And this is Stella!" Stella eyed Damian like an eagle waiting for the kill,"I can introduce myself very well, thankyou!" (This made me laugh) "And why are you laughing??" "You guys are really cute!"I replied. Damian jumped up,"Oh no! Wait, we aren't together. Besides, I'm not into girls!" "What do you mean....oh! Okay! I get it." Stella said,"Huh! His latest prey has been the pizza guy in the cafeteria."
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw another group of boys enter the corridor. Then I saw this guy who seemed so mysterious. He had the same complexion as me and had black hair which reached his neck. He was wearing an olive green beanie which I found exceptionally sexy, I really don't know why. But he seemed to be a narcissist. "What's with that guy?"I asked them. Stella answered,"That's Micah! You've obviously got a crush on him. Well, you can try, but nobody's ever succeeded." "Bleh! A crush? And I barely even know him! Anyways thanks for your help but I really need to get to the counsellor. Please give me the directions." "Suit yourself! But whatever you do, get yourself an invite to Glen Coco's party by the end of the day. It's the best way to let the school know you're new. The last time we went, it was epic! Well, we have never seen that room, ever! Good luck finding it!"said Damian.
They left me alone and I continued my search. I turned left and a girl exclaimed,"You're the new girl right? Hi! My name is Cady. You look flustered, what's the matter?" "Yes, I'm emily. I just transferred and I am kinda lost. I'm looking for the guidance counsellor."I said. Cady replied,"I understand. I was the new girl last year. Need anything, come by me. I'll help you out. For now, the counsellor's room is just past the staircase. Well, see you around! Buh-bye!" "Bye!"
*Knock! Knock!* "Come in!"said a shrill, but manly voice. "Hello Mrs. Stuart?? It must be mister, I'm sorry!"I said. The man replied,"Oh no, no! Mrs. Stuart is on leave. I'm the principal, Mr. Duvall. Please take a seat. I'm new to this counselling stuff, so let's get this over with. Hmm...let's see. A top scorer in your previous school, three consecutive years student body member, topped in the international talent search, member of the mathletes, has some acting experience.......ooh! and even played badminton in the school team! Your mom and dad must be so proud of you. Nice! So, you don't have any barriers for careers. But what have you been thinking?" "Uhhhhh, it's only mom and me actually. My dad was a donor from Yale. So I've been thinking about going there."I replied. "Oh okay. Yale, nice choice. What sort of stream have you been thinking about? Engineering, commerce, medical, aeronautics...."said Mr. Duvall. I interrupted,"Well, I haven't decided yet! But you can't go wrong with any choice once you are in Yale." "True, but let me tell you that only one student from North Shore High School goes to Yale each year." What!!??! Only one?? "How come only one?"I said calmly. " It's some sort of a quota. But you should apply for student body president. The past students going to Yale have been presidents. Right now, I've heard Regina George is at the top, so she's your only competition." "Regina??!!!" "Do you know her?? Cuz you seem to....." He was interrupted by *Knock! Knock!* "It's Regina, may I come in?"said the voice of well, Regina. "Name of the devil and here she is. Yes!! Come in!!"said Mr. Duvall.
