“Just one week till we start school again!!!” Sarah (Another Best Friend) went on. She’d been at this for almost an hour; it was fine with me, I wasn’t really listening anyway, shopping held more importance at the moment. “Can you believe we’re gonna be tenth graders!!”

“Nope not at all” I couldn’t help but laugh abit at her eagerness. I mean sure first day of school is great; it’s the only thing I actually enjoy shopping for. But unlike everyone else I don’t run up and hug everyone one I see. If you haven’t noticed I’m not much of the social type. I’ve got friends and all, I just don’t talk much. “Oh hey I gotta go. Need to try on this shirt.”

“Kay, talk to ya later!” Finally, didn’t know if I could stand much more. I love that girl like a sister, but if you get her going she’s a chatterbox!

I carried my little pile of clothes in to the dressing for and tried on what I hoped would look nice. Maybe I’d lost some weight! That would be a negative, needless to say I just ended up with a tee shirt, some jeans, and flip flops. Oh well, at least I’d be in new clothes.

That week flew by. I had tried so hard to hang on to that last bit summer, being lazy, and no set time to do anything, but like most good things do it ended. Tomorrow would be school. Since Tara and Jeremy would most likely be going out I started to think of nice guys that I might have a chance with. Unfortunately all my thoughts came back to that one eleventh grader that sat behind me every school day just playing his trombone, having no idea that I liked him.

“You’ve got your lunch right?” Mums questioned as she dropped me off at school. I was one of the only kids in school who brought there lunch and the only one, besides the principles kids, who got dropped off at 7:00.

“Yup, and I know, ride the bus home.” I started to get out of the car when she rolled her eyes and said no. “Huh?”

“I get off early, I’ll pick you up” Yes! No stinky bus.

“Kay, bye”

I walked in the school and just looked around. Nothing had changed, still super small and super dull. I walked into the already crowed cafeteria, guess people really are excited to be here. “CareBear!” It took abit of an effort, but I spotted Sam swarmed by a group of friends call me. There was a new kid in our group when I got there. “Carebear? What retarded is called that?”

 I waved at Sam and turned on the new boy. “That would be me. I happen to like my nickname, so don’t dis it.” I started to walk away but I didn’t want to leave a bad impression. “Please.” Smiling I headed to the band room, where I got to hang out with the bandies! “Good Morning” Now I was smiling like an idiot, I couldn’t help it, this was just the atmosphere in the band room. (Well as long as we weren’t having to work)

Mark followed me in. “Good Morning Alice!” Happiness drained out of me at the sound of his voice. Mark is my friend and the only guy in this whole school who liked me; problem was that I didn’t like him… at all. “Changed you mind lately?” Way to ruin my first day back.

“Nope, and I doubt I will”

From there the day past rather quickly, well until band. Over the summer I’d learned some stuff; Tara was not someone I needed to be hanging out with, she was craving attention from Jeremy, and as I’m sure you’ve noticed - forgetting that I like Jeremy is impossible. Band is when I saw them together, yes I knew they weren’t going out but still. She was like all over him! Growdy to the Max! I couldn’t watch, so instead I busied myself talking to random people till class was over. But no, there was still one more period to endure and I’d already talked to everyone. Great…

Lunch was my escape. Sam and Sarah were waiting on me with most of our friends. “Hey guys!” They all said their hellos back and either went on with their chatter or went to get trays. I noticed that the new boy was with us again. “Oh yea! CareBear, this is Damon! Damon, CareBear.” Sam introduced us as she came back with her tray.

“Hey” He said. Wow, he has gorgeous eyes! I just waved as I secretly scolded myself even thinking that; I was trying to not like anyone!

The rest of the day was simple. I only had one class with Sam, which was a bit of a let down. Damon was in there too. It was a great class thought, that teacher plus a subject I already like equals are great year to come. My last class was yearbook, it is so fun! Sarah is in that class too, along with some other really awesome people.

Even though the end of my day was pretty good I was glad it was over. I went outside and sat on the columns right in front of the school, it would be a while before Mums showed up so might as well get comfy.
