It was 6am. Time for the first day of school. Ami had just moved from Cornwall to Gloucestershire. In her previous secondary school, she was being bullied. This lasted for 3 years. She attempted suicide at one point. Fortunately, her mum saved up enough money to buy a house all the way in Gloucestershire. It was a chance for Ami to take a fresh step into her life, begin a new chapter.

She pulled off her covers; walked out of her room and slowly crept down the stairs. It was an unfamiliar for her to feel happy about going to school. She had a sense of excitement in her. Ami knew this would be a new start for her. A chance to actually spend her secondary school days like everyone else.

Getting into the kitchen, she made herself some toast. The butter slowly spread along the crunchy surface. The sound was quite relaxing. Ami sat on one of the bar stools and gobbled up her toast. She took a quick slip of water and dashed back up the stairs. 

Out of all of her 5 outfits ironed for that week, she decided to wear the cutest outfit. Her idea was to make a great first impression. To come out of her shadows and become one of the popular kids.

"only in my dreams," she whispered to herself. She walked into the bathroom; had a quick body wash in the shower ; brushed her hair and threw her outfit on. Just then, she remembered her old best friend Grace from Year 8. The year after she left, school was more of a living hell. Her friend moved away in Year 8 because of her dad's job. They hadn't been in contact ever since that day.

She shook of the thoughts and walked down the stairs to the door. She wrote a quick notes for her parents to let them know that she had to leave early for her time table and tutor.

Sighing quickly, she left.

Let the last two years of secondary be the best ones of her life.
