Chapter 1 : Fresh start

Chapter 1 : Fresh start

* Mazikeen POV *

New day for a new life... That's what they say let's see if it's true. My mother is a great lawyer and she had just been transferred. We used to live in Dallas, but we had to move to Olympia, for her promotion. My father, is a doctor so it wasn't hard for him to find a job. They are both recognized in the world for their work. And then, in the middle there is me. Mazikeen Turner, daughter of two brilliant people.

I'm 18 yo, I'm not very tall, but not small either. Average I would say,  5,41 ft. I'm a brunette, pale skin, blue eyes. Just like a ton of other girl. I don't find myself very attractive, i'm just normal, and I try to survive in this world.

So today is my first day in my new school. Senior year and I'm the new kid in town, just freaking amazing !

Before starting any lesson I had to meet the principal, Mrs Jakoby , just to organize my school life, and to choose my classes.

Obviously I took french, and literature because that's what I like the most, and I'm quite good at it.

"So Miss Turner, I'm gonna accompany you to your first class, which is french, for your delight I can see"

"True ! French is my favorite subject, and because you saw my grades, you can tell that I'm good at it."

"Absolutely!"  and with that we enter the classroom. "Hello class, Mr Dros this is our new student, Mazikeen Turner, she's from Dallas, please everybody welcome her warmly as we know how to do in this school, Miss Turner, I think you don't need me anymore, if so i'm in my office most of the time."

"Thanks"

"You can sit next to Amanda Miss Turner"

"Alright, but just Maze please"

"Hi new girl"

"I have a name you know"

"Sorry, Just Maze right ?"

"Yeah, nice to meet you Amanda"

"My pleasure."

My first lesson went quiet good, but I'm not surprised it's because it's french !

Amanda guided me to my next class, and we promised to meet for lunch, she said she gonna introduce me to her friends.

*lunch time*

"Damn I'm so hungry, running to find classes can be very demanding in terms of energy" I joke

"That's true !" said Amanda while we walk to the table her friends reserved. "Everybody, this is  Maze, she's new so be kind, and you boys behave !"

"I don't see why you're saying that" One of the boy says.

"I don't know Sam, maybe we could ask the last four girls you screw before throwing them ?" Amanda answers with sass, I already like that girl.

The guy named Sam just groans as an answer I guess. We sat, and she introduced me to the others, totally there are 3 boys ( Sam, Josh and Jan) and four girls, well five with me now ( Amanda, Jasmin, Katherine, and Freyja).

We ate all together without any problems, actually they were all very kind, and happy to have fresh meat at their table. They questioned me a little, to know me better. I think I'm gonna feel well in this new school.

When I came back home, I was surprised to find both my parents in the kitchen, cooking what smells like a "boeuf bourguignon" (it's a french recipe of long-cooked beef with red whine and some potatoes and carrots, it's really tasty). My mother's family is half french, and she likes to have a link with our origins.

"Hey hon ! how was your day ?" asked my dad.

"It went smoothly, I met new people, they were really friendly, I think this year is gonna be great. and your day ?"

"I spent it at the supermarket, to make this recipe for you darling" said my mom, with a loving smile, that only mother can give.

"Okay ! That's smells really good mom ! I look forward for dinner. I'm going working in my room, call me when dinner is ready"

"Will do" They answer together.

Once I was in my room, which was quite empty, because we didn't have all our things yet. I went on my bed just to go through the homework that I already had.

Just when I was about to begin, I received a text from Amanda :

Amanda :

What's up girl ? planning something on friday ?

Me :

I just arrived in this city, so not yet. Why ?

Amanda :

There's this new club I'd like to bring you.

Me :

I'm not really a party girl you know

Amanda :

Come on ! it'll be fun, we'll all be there. It's a good thing for you to discover our wonderful city of Olympia !

Me:

You're going to be the death of me ! I have to ask my parents first.

Amanda :

Really ? At 18 ?

Me :

Shut up already, or I cancel.

Amanda :

Okay ! Send me their answer.

Me :

Will do !

With that, I went downstair to ask permission to my mom and dad. I found them setting the table.

"Mom, Dad ?"

"Yes hon ?"

"You know there's this new girl at school that now is my friend, and she's like me to go to a party with her and her friends on friday"

"Fine, where does it take place?" Ask my mom. Ouch it's gonna be hard, I've never been to a club before.

"In a club..."

"Really hon ? a club ?"

"But dad ! I'm 18 ! I've never been to a club before, and I'd like to ..."

"Alright hon, be careful" they cut me.

"Really ?!" I run to hug them "Thank you, you're the best parents in the world"

"Don't exaggerate and help us set the table !"

And with that I helped them. We ate, and as expected the dinner is divine ! My mom is a really good cook. Actually she 's good at everything she does. I'd like to know her secret !

The rest of the week went well, I had to say that I arrived at this school on Wednesday, which was easier than starting on Monday !

We were already Friday, Amanda was way too excited about our plans for the night.

"So after school, I go back home, then to yours to help you find something suitable for this club!" said Amanda

"So you think that I can dress by myself  ?"

"Well you are very cute. But We're going to a club, It's not something you're used to, plus we have to slay, you know just to fish some men !" At this statement I burst out of laughing.

"Really ? Are you serious Amanda ?!"

"Yup girl ! I haven't been with a man for too long."

"What is too long ?"

"Idk, a week."

"And is that a record ?" I mock

"No, but I miss a man in my bed." she said

"Great let's go fishing then."

"You're the best Maze ! See you at 6:30 at your place"

"See ya"

When I arrived home, I rushed into my room, to tidy a little, and to rest before our party.
