January 12th 2018, I'm ready to face new people, new worries and challenges, new bullies but I'm definitely not ready to come out of a shell I've always hidden. Not yet. Not now.
It's six am and I'm sitting on my chair, leaning on the kitchen counter eating breakfast. I'm really nervous though. I'm wearing a black converse, high knee white socks, black and red checkered knee long skirt suspenders, white vest, blood red lipstick and my usual specktacles and last but not least my hair, straightened and pulled back. Good enough for me. Not really, mom made me wear this.
But then you get mothers like mine, "so sweety, how are you feeling about today?" Did she really have to ask? "Well mom, I'm quite nervous but nonetheless I'm feeling a bit excited." Its true though I'm nervous and excited at the same time. It's weird.
Feelings aside, my mom kept asking really weird and offside questions about how I was feeling and what not. I eventually became a bit anxious so I just decided to leave before I got angry and said something I would regret to my mother. "Mom, I better get going otherwise I'll be late" i said as I got up, placing my bowl in dish basin and kissing my dad goodbye. "Bye dad, bye mom!" Mom didn't look impressed with my sudden change of behaviour but she just kept quiet, thank God. "Bye sweety!" She replied and then I literally ran out of the house. That was a process.
I got into my car, drove off as soon as possible and 20 minutes later I was entering the gates of my new school wondering around for a non-existent parking spot. I'm guessing most students here have cars. Anyways, I managed to squeeze into a small space and got out. I went to the receptionists' office, got my schedule and locker combination and school and headed straight for what I believe were the locker hallways. As soon as I got there, I took the books i needed and placed those I didn't, inside my new locker. It smells new. Then after a long trip around the school I finally found what was as written on the school map, classroom number '44'. Finally.
I entered the classroom and went to sit at the back next to a boy who's arms were covered in tattoos. Wow. He's hot. I sat down and made use of my manners, "Hi, my name is Bethany Hamilton" i held out my hand and waited in hopes of a response from tattoo boy. And he replied, "Devandreaux Waltz" he said but never made an effort to shake my hand. Okay. "Okay, pleased to meet you " i said with a wild smile across my face. He looked at me like I was crazy but then responded, "likewise" I made a new friend today I think. I took out my books for English and waited for the teacher patiently.
As I was waiting, tattoo boy tried to make small talk with me. "You're the new girl right?" He asked. "Yeah that's me" he looked at me weirdly then said, "what a nerd..." he mumbled. Oh no he didn't. Okay yeah he did. "Excuse me?" I furrowed my eyebrows questioningly. "I said, what a nerd" he said then started laughing. Oh so tattoo boy is a jerk. Should've known. "Okay, then I guess you're the jerk of the school" i stated, more to myself though. "You don't wanna start with me little girl" he said with a threatening manner. "I just did." Before he could respond or comment, I moved to a different seat at the front. I can't afford irritation on the first day.
After the first 3 periods, I made my way to my locker, swapped my books around and headed for the cafeteria. On my way to the cafeteria, Devandreaux Waltz (tattoo boy) and his crew headed in the opposite direction. He saw me and said something to his friends of hulks and well, they all laughed. As soon as they about to cross me, they stopped. Now comes the drama, "oh look who it is?" Devandreaux pointed at me and laughed. "Well if it isn't the queen of nerds herself, your highness Bethany" he bowed, his tone full of sarcasm. Thought as much. "What do you want dude?" I asked him with annoyance. "I was just introducing you to my friends Beth. Nothing much" again sarcasm. Wow. I rolled my eyes and carried on walking, completely ignoring the rude remarks.
I got to the cafeteria, waited in line, got my sandwich and apple, then headed straight for the table at the back. I ate my 2 slices of bread. As soon as I was done, i noticed two girls walking towards the table I was sitting at. They were nerds, it was obvious with their attire but then I didn't mind because I was 'one of them'.
They got to my table and greeted politely, "Hello, my name is Kacy Joans" the blondie said, "and this is Cathryn Millers" she pointed to the brunette next to her.
She then said, "we saw you sitting alone and thought if you wouldn't mind us joining you" she requested. "Oh no I don't mind."
I said while gesturing for them to sit down. "My name is Bethany Hamilton by the way" i said politely. Catherine then said, "nice to meet you Bee, friends? She held her hand out for me to shake and I did just that,
"Friends." I smiled.
After an hour of lunchtime, I went to my Calculus class and started taking down notes right away, it was an interesting lesson.
No, no it wasn't.
Shut up!
You're talking to yourself now
Oh dear God, I've gone loco.
Not surprised
Ugh!!

I'm headed home, i'm tired from gym class and excited to do my homework. Can't wait! Anyways, I arrived at home and changed into some comfortable clothing amd started right away with homework. My parents weren't home yet, so I made dinner and put theirs in the fridge. I watched some TV and put on Friends. My favourite tv series of all time. No, not really. I just saw this right now. I wonder what it's all about.
Time passed by and the hours flew. I am so bored. Okay being the only goddamn child is kind of a nuisance m, like what am I supposed to do now?
Mom? Dad? ...Where the FUCK are you?! Hehe, I'm talking to myself again.
