Part 2

I waved bye to Joey as I got in the car and my mom drove off.

"Hey sweetie, how was your first day at your new school?", she asks.

I turn to her, "It was great! The people here are really nice and I like my teachers, the school is so much different than my last school", I say and look out the window.

"That's nice to hear, so who was that boy you said bye to?", she says in a cheesy way and I playfully roll my eyes.

"He's just a friend, he had to show me around the school since it's my first day", I say and she nudges my shoulder.

"Well whoever he was he seems cute, what's his name?", my mom asks arriving at the house.

"His name is Joey and Joey is just a friend!", I say laughing and we get out of the car.

"Yeah that's what they all say", she says jokingly and opens the door and we walk in.

The house smells amazing, "What are you making for dinner?", I ask putting my backpack down on the couch.

"I'm making lasagna!", she says with a smile.

"Yes lasagna for dinner!", I scream and she chuckles.

I grab a small snack from the pantry and head to my room, I flop on my bed.

I scroll through Instagram eating my snack and suddenly get bored, I put my phone down and grab my backpack that I left downstairs.

The bell rings and my mom rushes to the door, she picks up a package on the floor and closes the door behind her.

"Laurie, there's a package for you!", she yells and looks at up.

"Oh, I didn't see you standing there, come down here and grab your package", she says and hands it to me.

I head back to my room and quickly open up the package, it's the clothes I ordered not that long ago.

I was supposed to wear the outfit I ordered for today but it just came in the mail, oh well. I'll just wear it tomorrow.

I sigh and hang it in my closet, I head my dad's car arrive just in time for dinner.

He walks in the door, "Hi dad", I say and hug him.

"Hey! How was school?", he asks.

"Great!"

"That's nice to hear, let's talk about it during dinner", he says and I nod.

We head to the kitchen, "You're home", my mom says and my dad walks up to her. He gives her a kiss on the check. I adore my parents, I love them so much.

I help my mom set the plates and my brother Brandon finally shows up to dinner.

Brandon is 8 years old, I'll admit he does get on my nerves most of the time but not seeing him all day because of school made me miss him a bit.

"Yay Lasagna!", he yells and we all laugh.

We sit down and my mom sets down the lasagna on the table for us to serve ourselves from.

"So how was your first day at your new high school?", my dad asks after taking a bite from his food.

"It was good, I like my teachers, they're very chill and I get along with them. The students are nice, I talked to a couple of people but I can tell some were shy to start a conversation with me.", I say and my parents both nod.

"That's good that you like your teachers, that means you'll do well in class", they say.

I nod and chew my food, Brandon chugs down his juice.

"Slow down", my mom says to Brandon and chuckles.

He wipes his mouth,"What is high school like?", he asks tilting his head.

I laugh, "Don't worry you have enough time ahead of you"

He makes a confused face and continues eating, soon we're all done eating dinner and I stay to help my mom clear off the table and wash the dishes.

I finish washing the last cup in the sink and head to my room, I flop on my bed like always and grab my phone.

I scroll through snapchat and send streaks.

The backpack on the floor catches my attention and I realize I need to catch up on homework. I sigh and take out my binder and quickly finish what I left for the day.

My alarm on my phone rings, Night routine, it says and I walk to my bathroom and grab my tooth brush and start brushing my teeth.

I wash my face and do my skin care routine, after that I turn off the lights and head to bed.

For some reason I can't stop thinking about that guy Joey I met today at school. I wish we could've exchanged phone numbers but I was too shy. I'm glad we got to talk though and walk around the school. I wonder if he's thinking about me, probably not, we hardly know each other.

I can't sleep so I text my friend. We talked at school today, she was actually the first person to actually even talk to me which made me feel better about my first day at my new school.

You-Hey! I can't sleep :( so I decided to text you. How's it going?

Allison-Hi! I can't sleep either too lol. I'm fine what about you?

You-I'm doing good, just caught up on today's homework, Mrs.Brown's homework is so hard lol

Allison-I know right! That took me forever! Her class starts getting easier when you get the hang of it

You-Excited to hear that, lol this was tiring

Allison-Yep, it made me want to give up the first few times I was in her class

You-Lol I can't believe I actually finished

Allison-Ha!

You-Soooooo, any plans this Friday?

Allison-Not really, I usually am really busy during the weekends but if I am free this Friday I'll let you know

You-That's fine!

Allison-Thanks for being understanding, most of my friends will just get mad and not bother asking lol

You-Aw no problem, I'm always here if you're down to hang

Allison-Thank you!

You-No problem!

Allison-Well it's getting late now, I think I should head to sleep now

You-Yeah I think I'm going to go to sleep now too, goodnight

Allison-Goodnight!

I just finished texting Allison and we said good night to each other, she's such a nice friend I already like her so much. She seems so chill and genuine.

I turn off the lights and actually head to sleep this time.
