"Here it is. The start of a whole new world. A new beginning. High school." I took a deep breath, and looked to my left. There was Pearl, my identical twin, probably thinking the same thing. Actually, I know she was thinking the same thing. We can read each other's minds in a way, and we can even talk to each other without saying anything! It's kinda like telepathy, but with twins. Heh - TWINepathy. Looking at the giant school in front of us, we start walking. The doors open, we walk in, and it begins.

     "Good morning, class. My name is Ms. Combshell. I will be your teacher for your first class everyday." The teacher gives us all a warm smile. Pearl and Tamora look at me, giving me hopeful looks. Maybe this class will be different.

"Let's get to know each other!" Ms. Combshell yells. I sit in the circle with Pearl and Tamora on either side of me. "Sapphire, would you like to begin?" The teacher motions to me, and everyone turns to look at me.

"Well... I.... I like to read and write a lot, I love to sing and dance, and I also have an identical twin, Pearl, who is sitting to my right." Everyone gasps, and we sigh. Seriously, we have gotten this question about sixteen times today before class even started! Is being a twin that uncommon? Everyone then nods, and Tamora begins.

"Hello everyone! My name is Tamora, and I have a younger sister named Kim. (Yes, that Kim, Christina) I love to read and sing with Sapphire and Pearl, as well as do crafts and play with my dog, Reef." She says, motioning to Pearl and I at times.

"Very good. Pearl?" Ms. Combshell asks, looking pointedly at Pearl.

"Ok.... Well, my name is Pearl, and, like Sapphire, I love to read, write, sing, and dance." She nods at me, and I nod back.

"Now, Sapphire and Pearl, how can we tell you two apart?" Ms. Combshell asks, and everyone nods.

*uuuuuuuugggggghhhhhh*

"Well, Ms. Combshell, I have longer hair, and Pearl has shorter hair. I also wear darker colored clothes, or more blue, green, and purple, while Pearl wears more pink, purple, and red." Everyone takes notes on how to tell us apart, and then we are dismissed to our first class - French!

I run to my locker and grab my notebook and iPad, and then run to catch up with Pearl. We meet at a corner, and dash to French together.

As the bell rings, we just make it to the room, and sit down in two seats next to each other.

"Bonjour, classe!" (Hello, class!) the French teacher says. "Mon nom est Mr. Baguette." (My name is Mr. Baguette.) Ohhhh boy, that took all my courage not to start laughing. You see, Pearl, Tamora, and I all have a HUGE joke about baguettes. I would explain it, but that would take too long. Like, CHAPTERS. So I won't. You all will have to guess - sorry. "Ok, class, let's start with introducing ourselves." Pearl and I frown at each other. "Ok, we will go in order by seating." The class begins to introduce themselves, one by one. Then the introduction ceremony is passed on to Pearl.

"Umm... Hello, my name is Pearl. I have a twin sister named Sapphire," everyone gasps again, and turns to stare at me. The ceremony is passed on to me.

     "Hi, everyone, my name is Sapphire. Like Pearl just said, I am her identical twin, so... I guess that's it!" I give all my classmates a smile, and the ceremony is once again passed on. About ten minutes later, the whole class has finished, and we begin our learning.

     "Ok, everyone. Today we will learn how to address each other, introduce ourselves, ask how everyone is, introduce other people, and also use different greetings. Let me begin. Bonjour, je m'appelle Mr. Baguette." He then turns to me. "Comment t'-appelle-tu?" I freeze, and then I remember what to say.

     "Je m'-appelle Sapphire."

     "Merci." He then goes back to the front of the class. "See that conversation? That's what I'm talking about. We will learn all about how to address each other and carry on different conversations."

The rest of the class goes by in a blur. As it turns out, French is REALLY fun, and Mr. Baguette is really nice. The bell rings, and it's time to go to my next class.

"Hmmm... Geometry.... Geometry....." I wander down the hallway, and finally find room 114. I walk in, and take my seat in the front middle of the room (A/N I do this in real life too). I draw a little on my iPad, and a few minutes later class begins.

     "Good morning, class! My name is Ms. Shellfire, and I am so happy that you all will be in this class! Welcome to Advanced Honors Geometry! Today, we will start with lessons 1.1 , 1.2 , and 1.3 . A guy from my right two rows down stares at me. Well, this is awkward. I have no idea who he is, and he won't look away. (Again, it happened. So far, for two days. That's how long we've had classes, but it kinda gets on my nerves... Especially when he knows that I notice him, and he does it ANYWAY.)

     Ms. Shellfire begins the first lesson, and I start taking notes. I notice that she LOVES colored pens, because everything is color coded and in a different color. Points are green, lines are orange, and planes are blue. To do a better model, she uses a bright pink pen, and colors in the first plane. The three lessons continue, and soon it's time to go to lunch.

As I eat my salad (this was yesterday, but let's face it - if you know me, you know I love salads and such, so I HAD to bring a salad for the first day of school.) I look around the lunchroom to see if anyone I knew was there. Thankfully, Pearl and Tamora come over and join me, as well as Brea (Sarah, that's you), Ivana (PARTY!!! aka Catherine), and Seraphina (aka Giuliana).

     All at once, we start talking about how all our teachers are amazing and they are so much fun. All the older kids look at us funny, probably thinking "They ENJOY class?" Yup, we do. We always love all our teachers - they are all so nice and so much fun! :)

     Then we all talk about how we designed and decorated our lockers. My top shelf has my extra supplies and paper, as well as some chocolate and lotion. The middle/bottom area, I have a locker ladder that holds my books and other binders (blue for morning, purple for afternoon - seven books) my lunch, and my school books.

     To the left of that, I have an extra coat, and below both of that, I have a foldable shelf, that holds my backpack when I'm not using it, as well as a few other things. Below that, I put all my things and books and such that I will need to take home for homework. On the door, I have a dry erase board, four different markers, some lip gloss, a small handheld mirror, a little notepad for quick notes (it's sparkly!), a nail file (also sparkly!), and some hair bands. Everything else I carry in my backpack.

     We chat for a while about random things, and then we go out into the hallway. We are not allowed to go to our lockers during lunch, but anywhere else (awesome seating area in the middle of one hallway, other hallways) is fine. Since Pearl, Tamora, and I are done eating, we go out in the hallway and sit down.

     Tamora has a bag of locker stuff with her, so Pearl and I get the liberty of going through everything and looking at it. Let's see..... An awesome jellyfish magnet.... A hot pink mirror..... Pearl starts squealing, and I look over at her. In her hand is one of those animals that bob their heads and such whenever you move them, only it is a turtle. And it's smiling..... I start laughing, and then take out some shells. Oooooohhhh.... It looks like Tamora has taken whole shells (amazing, btw!) and has brushed / painted sparkles on them.

     They sparkle in the light, and look ABSOLUTELY amazing! She also has a bunch of stuff, but I won't name it, because she brought A LOT. (Btw everyone..... While I'm writing this, I'm in Geometry, and the guy is staring at me again....... Errrrrrr... Awkward.... My teacher is telling life stories, so I'm listening, but also writing. The guy probably isn't listening - he's just staring at me....)

After lunch, the rest if the day goes by pretty fast. Because the guy isn't staring at me anymore, it seems faster. Trust me - when you have a guy staring at you for a while for NO REASON, time seems to go by pretty slowly. Not good for you. Good for him, just not you. The end of school bell rings, and Pearl and I head out together. (We have Orchesis together) We exit the school, and start walking home.

Later that day, Pearl and I are doing our homework. Unfortunately, it takes us both between 3 and 5 hours. Seriously, it took that long. We go to bed, and I just stare at the ceiling. I wonder what will happen tomorrow.....

Hey everyone! I hope you have enjoyed the first chapter of my new book! Yes, this is mostly real life (like that guy staring at me....) but I have also added in other things, to make it more interesting. Let's face it - my life is totally boring. I mean, yeah, I'm cool and stuff, but I don't go looking for danger of anything like that.

M.  Yes, the guy that I mentioned above several times also exists - and yes, he's ALWAYS staring at me.... Anyway, if you would like this book to continue and see what happens, be sure to vote for this chapter, and also comment any ideas or just comments you have for me! Let's get this chapter up to.... 5 votes! Come on, I know you guys can do it! Five votes, and I'll work on publishing the second chapter!

     Anyway, in case you don't get it, Tamora is Christina, CaptainOnesto , and Pearl is Vicky, RainbowDashLoyalty . Seraphina is Giuliana, but she doesn't have a wattpad. Brea is Sarah, platypii6 , while Ivana is Catherine, ccgg112 . Be sure to follow them and read their stories! Also, more awesome people:
