Plotting

Today was my first day of school. Normally, the first day of school is always uneventful. Getting to know my surroundings, learning teacher’s names, stuff like that was on my plate for the day. But my first day of school was during the middle of the year. In a new place. With people that didn’t know me. I like to be the one who hides in the shadows, but I stick out like a sore thumb on this particular first day of school. It turns out that this school had uniforms, and lucky me! My uniform had not arrived yet. And I wore one of my loudest outfit choices. So, I got called out by professors and students alike for being “the new girl”. Little did I know that “new girl” would be my nickname for the remainder of the school year. Thanks to my mother and father for moving to a new city so I can be remembered as “the new girl” virtually forever. As if my new nickname wasn’t embarrassing enough, I tripped and fell right into someone’s lunch today. It is NOT my day today. Luckily, the person whose lunch I clumsily fell into was a very nice boy. After a few weeks, he immediately turned out to be my best friend in the new city. That year was not such a sucky year after all, with the help of my new friend.
