Song of the chapter: The Middle by Jimmy eat world
Beep beep went the worst thing that man ever invented. The alarm clock. Why did man have to create such an evil device for society?
Hitting the off button I got out of my new warm bed and put on my bunny slippers. My bunny slippers were probably one of the best purchases I've ever made in my entire life. They were truly one of the loves of my life along with photography and music.
Looking out my window I noticed that it was pouring down rain. Of course it would ran on the first day of school. As if mother nature would agree with me a cloud to ground flash of lighting happened.
Walking over to my closest I grabbed my school uniform which consisted of black Mary Jane's, white knee high socks, a gray skirt, white blouse and a tie of our school colors which were navy and emerald. It was the most boring outfit in the history of outfits. Thankfully seniors only had to wear this outfit Monday's and Wednesday's. The other days of the week we were allowed to choose from three different color blouses light blue, red and black.
Hearing a knock on my door mom peeped her head in. "Honey school starts in half and hour you better get going."
"How do I look?" I asked mom while giving her a twirl.
"Like a beauty queen." Mom winked at me before heading back down stairs.
Grabbing my messenger bag with my iPod in hand I headed down stairs to start off my day. As I walked down the stairs I could hear the rain start to pour down harder. It really was quite a stormy day.
When I reached the bottom of the stairs there stood dad with a mug in his hands looking at something on his phone. Today was the day the my parents also started working again today. They didn't feel it was right for them to start working until school started back up.
Noticing that I was at the bottom of the stairs dad looked up at me and smiled.
"Want a ride to school kid?" Dad asked me.
"Sure old man." I grinned back.
As if right on time mom appeared with two mugs in her hand along with carrying a bag.
"I packed you a lunch and your own mug of coffee, just the way you like it." Mom told me as she handed me the bag and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

Waving goodbye to mom and dad as I stood in the pouring rain with my umbrella I instantly spotted Olivia standing in front of school with an umbrella in hand waiting for me.
"Hi Liv." I said while awkwardly hugging her with my umbrella in hand.
"Hi bubblegum popper." Olivia smirked while hugging me back.
I rolled my eyes at her comment as we both walked into school. Looking next to Olivia I didn't see Meyers next to her. Olivia and Meyers were usually always together. To be quite honest I don't think I've ever seen Olivia by herself.
"Where's Meyers?" Looking at her I saw her nervously bite her lip
"He had to do something before school." Looking at her I saw her nervously bite her lip as she answered me.
As soon as we walked into the building people started staring at me like I was an alien from outer space. It was very awkward feeling everyone's stares as we walked down the hallway.
"Why does everyone keep looking at me?" I whispered to Olivia while we walked toward the main office.
"You're the new girl." Olivia stated as we came to a stop.
Looking up I saw Main Office.
"You don't have to come with me, I'm a big girl." I told Olivia.
Olivia rolled her eyes at me and dragged us both in.
Looking around the office it looked just like the one back at my old high school. The only difference was that it was an old lady as the secretary, here it was a lady who looked fresh out of college. She didn't seem to notice our presence as she continued typing on her desktop.
Olivia nudged me so that I stood right in front of her and made a slight coughing noise to get her attention.
"Oh hi," She smiled "You must be Nora Abrams the new girl."
"That's me." I sighed humiliated. I was obviously the only new girl to come to this school this year.
I could hear Olivia's snicker in the background. I was going to kill her once we left the office.
"Here's your schedule and I don't plan on giving you a map since you and Olivia have the same schedule," She told me "If you do need anything though my name is Lisa."
"Thank you, Lisa." I said as Olivia and I exited the office.
Olivia said goodbye to Lisa then we were off to class!

"I still can't believe you said that." Meyers said as the three of us walked to a lunch table with tears in his eyes from so much laughter.
"It was so funny." Olivia laughed in agreement as the three of us sat down.
The two idiots were laughing so much that we were starting to get stares from the other students.
"It wasn't my fault that the floor was slippery." I hissed at them while taking out the lunch that mom packed me.
I hoped that me snapping at them would make them be quiet but instead they turned into laughing monkeys.
In our Chemistry class our teacher, Mr. Stine made me introduce myself in front of the class just like what all the other teachers made me do. After I introduced myself as I headed to sit down next to Meyers the floor apparently was wet so I slide all the way down the classroom. Of course being me the only thing I said was ta-da.
"When you fell and said ta-da you should have added jazz hands." Olivia cried out causing me to hear a few snickers from around the lunch hall.
"Shut up." I grumbled while taking out the cream cheese and strawberry sandwich that mom made me.
Automatically Meyers and Olivia stopped laughing and looked at my sandwich?
"Now what?" I snapped at them.
"That looks disgusting." Meyers said bluntly.
Olivia nodded her head in agreement.
"What's disgusting?" Asked a teenage guy who sat down next to Meyers with a tray in his hands.
The guy was the same height as Meyers with jet black short hair. He was fit but not heavily athletic, he was built similar to Meyers.
"Her sandwich." Meyers answered.
The guy looked at my sandwich and shrugged his shoulders.
"I'm Nick." The guy said while extending his hand out to shake my his hand with mine.
"I'm Nora." I replied while shaking his hand.

Finally, we were at our last class for the day! It was also one of my personal favorite school subjects. History.
It was nice because Meyers, Olivia and Nick were also in the class. This was the only class that all of us had together. Nick was a nice guy, he was flirty but nothing that I couldn't handle.
Walking to the front of the classroom a man stood in front of us. "Welcome to History, I'll be your teacher Mr. Raymond." He looked to be in his mid-twenties not more older than us.
The class started snickering after he said that. Looking around I even saw my new three friends snickering as well.
"Is there a problem?" Mr. Raymond asked while raising an eye brow toward us.
"Like hell were going to call you Mr. Raymond." Nick spoke up before continuing to snicker.
This was confusing as hell to me.
Mr. Raymond sighed in defeat before starting to write on the whiteboard.
"The hell was that about?" I whispered to Olivia.
"All of us have known him since we were younger." Whispered back Olivia.
Oh.
Hearing a snap of the marker being put back on the cap my attention turned towards Mr. Raymond. On the white board was written simply Raymond.
"Better?" Mr. Raymond asked the class, causing everyone to burst out laughing but me.
After that the class seemed to go back to the way it was before Mr. Raymond walked in. Blabbing away to one another.
Mr. Raymond or I guess Raymond walked over to where the four of us were sitting with a grin on his face. Ignoring the other talkative students.
"Hey Raymond." The three of them said.
"What's up guys?" He asked while casually leaning on our desks.
"This is Nora, Nora this is Raymond." Olivia introduced us.
Raymond turned to me and smiled. "Hi." While shaking my hand.
"Hi." I said back while shaking his hand.
After chit chatting with us for a few minutes Raymond went back up to the front of the class and tried to get everyone's attention. Failing to do so he whistled really loudly.
"Do you guys want me to get fired?!" Exclaimed Raymond.
All of us shook our heads and quieted down. Raymond waited to speak until we were all seated and quiet.
"Class, I want us to pick a local history topic to study this semester," Raymond paused and looked at us. "Does anyone have an idea of which local history topic we could pick?"
He looked around the class no one spoke up. For the first time since we got in class the whole room was quiet. So quiet that you could probably hear a pencil drop on the floor.
Looking from my left to right I didn't see anyone about to raise there hand. Debating with my self for a minute I stood up from my seat.
The whole class looked at me as I spoke.
"How about Berke castle?" I suggested.
Hi!!!
I am so sorry it took so long to update! Next chapter will be up after I get my new glasses. Right now I'm still writing with my old ones :(.
