Last June I moved to Oklahoma from Massachusetts due to my step dad's new work. I was just going into my freshman year of high school. My friends, extended siblings, the rest of my family, everything I knew and was all familiar with were all left behind. At first I was somewhat okay with the move, but as days went by it got worse and worse. I couldn't wait for the following summer to go back, and that's what I did. Now here I am going back to hell tomorrow.... I mean school, and for some reason going back to school this year feels far more dreadful than it was in the past years, and that's saying a lot considering I was new last year and all. Maybe it's because I had to leave home again and come back to my new horrid reality.

The next morning I wake up to the chorus of Taboo Love by Emblem3 at 5:45am. The perfect way to start this dreadful day. I get my loofa, body wash, face wash, and everything I need to take a shower. Before I got in the shower I put on some music to try and get me somewhat energized. I then start with my shampoo and conditioner, before I move onto my body wash. Once I was finished with all that I washed my face and turned off the water. After I wrapped my hair into a towel turban, I took my other towel and dried off before I wrapped it around myself then made my way back to my room. When I got back to my room I put my bathrobe on, and put my towel down on my desk chair before I sat down to blow dry my hair. As I was blow drying my hair I couldn't help but think about all different ways school could go today especially since my brother and I had no idea what our schedules were like this year. It could go really well where I have people to talk to in some classes and maybe even a cute guy or two, or it could go horribly wrong where I have one class with my one legitimate friend, and only one other class with someone to talk to. Guess I won't know for sure until I get there. An hour passes by and I'm dressed with both hair and makeup done. I decided on loose curls for my hair, black skinny jeans, red tank top, a black and white flannel, and converse for my outfit. My makeup I went 'simple, but effective' and did a slightly shimmered champagne colored eyeshadow with some mascara. Now I'm just waiting on my brother and mom to finish getting ready. Another five minutes pass, and we're all finally ready to go.

I hop in the front with my mom, and Nick and Yodels sit in the back of our dark red Yukon. Yodels is Nick's service dog. He has her for his seizures, and so she gets to come to school with us. Everyone loves her, so I'm sure everyone is excited to see her after summer. As usual my mom, brother, and I start talking about a series of topics- from school to what we did in Massachusetts a month ago. It wasn't long before we arrived to the front of the school where you see a variety of people either walking into the school or sitting out front. Some were with their friends others were alone. I can feel myself start to burn as I walk closer to the gates of hell. Nick and I head over to the counselors' office to get our schedules. Hopefully mine isn't too bad. Once we had our schedules we went back to find ourselves a seat where we could wait for my friend Izzy. It wasn't long before she showed up. As soon as she saw that Nick and I had our schedules she compared them to hers. She had psychology with me 2nd hour, and geometry with Nick 3rd. When she was done I took my schedule back and compared it to my one other friend Abby's. Yes! We at least have one class together and that was world history 6th hour. I guess one class with each is better than none. Nick, Izzy, and I then continued on with our conversation about our summers. Some parts were interesting to say the least on Nick's and I's part, but as soon as we got back here it was back to the 'same old shit, but a different day.'

"Oh my god Nicole. I seriously wish I could've been there for that." Izzy said trying not to laugh.
She was talking about how I may or may not have gotten cross faded (drunk and high at the same time) one night while I was in Massachusetts and did a bunch of stupid things. For example Nick had put a video of the pink fluffy unicorn in front of my face, and I started to laugh and sing along. When it would end I'd start crying. Note to self: DO NOT get cross faded EVER again. I really don't plan on it though. It wasn't like I got sick the next morning or anything. It was just the way my head felt, and how I knew what I was saying and doing, but I couldn't control it. We were all laughing and talking when Izzy's and I's old friend, Kailani came up to our table. Not gonna lie, it was kind of awkward. I wouldn't necessarily say that Kailani and I aren't friends anymore, we just don't talk as much as we used to. Not since she started hanging out with Jess and Jamie.  Jamie never really did anything to influence Kailani's changes. It was more Jess. Neither Izzy or I really care for her to be honest.

Shortly after that awkward moment was over, they all left and the school was called to the auditorium for the first day of school assembly. Yodels can't handle the sound of the band playing, so her and Nick go sit in the office until it's over. Meanwhile Izzy and I join the cluster of people in front of us, and slowly make our way into the auditorium. At some point while we were in line Kailani joined Izzy and I making it once again slightly awkward. We finally made it to the far section of chairs where the sophomore's sat and Kailani ended up having to sit at the opposite end in the row in front of us. I did feel kinda bad that she was practically sitting alone since she wasn't with any friends. Izzy and I sat there for what seemed like forever listening to the same stuff we did the year before. Once that was finally over we went to our first hour classes. Mine was chemistry. Of course I had no friends in that class, so I sat in the back in the corner and was soon accompanied by all the popular people sitting around me. Great one of those classes where it's 90% people you couldn't care less about. Cool. That class couldn't have ended fast enough. Once it was over I made my way over to my psychology class which was the class I had with Izzy.

I walk into the classroom to see an empty spot next to Izzy and I walk over and take it. She was talking to one of our mutual friends Brenna, so I join in on their conversation. Our teacher then walked into the room when the bell rang. He went over the usual first day stuff like the rules, what to expect, etc. It's funny though because one of his rules is "Eggplants are not aesthetically pleasing." Don't know how that's a rule, but it's still funny. Next was my first aid class which shouldn't be too bad. I walk in and take a seat in the third column of desks in the seat behind the first one, waiting for the teacher to go over his rules, and class expectations. That class has some people in it who I don't really care for, but they surprisingly weren't that bad. The only thing that really bothers me about that class was even after, when we weren't doing anything and had twenty minutes left of class he still wouldn't let us use our phones. Those twenty minutes felt like hours. I walked down to the commons which was also the cafeteria and met Nick and Izzy there for lunch. Once everyone was there we all sat down and discussed the classes we've all had so far.

"My chemistry class is filled with preps." I tell Nick and Izzy.
"Our geometry class has Brittany in it. She asked if she could add instead of subtract because it was easier." Nick said chiming in.
"Seriously?" I added.

Brittany is literally one of those stereotypical stupid cheerleader/dance team members from movies. I'm not trying to sound rude or anything, but it's true.

I dread my next class. It was computers. I've been taking computers since kindergarten, so a lot of this stuff I already know. What's also weird is that they had me take 1B last year and this year they put me in 1A. To me it makes no sense as to why they would do that, but whatever. I walk in and see it's a class with mostly freshmen, so I just take a random spot and sit down. It's not even ten minutes into class when I hear the freshmen girls talking about how hot the teacher is, and I can feel myself baby barfing at the thought of it. I mean he wasn't ugly, but why would you flat out say that in class when he probably heard you....? I don't know, but eventually he introduced himself to the class, and also explained everything that was going to being going on and expected in his class. He's nice, but his voice is kinda slow. As of right now I pretty much hate all, but maybe two classes. Forty minutes pass, and it's time to go to our 5th hour class. Geometry. Okay doesn't sound too horrid considering I actually like math.

I walk in and see that there's pretty much no more seats available, so I take the one that was closest to me and sit down. There's a good amount of preps, and there's also some of the annoying Mexicans. Again I don't mean to sound rude or racist, but these girls are so loud and obnoxious. Then there's the other people who I have no problem with. I think this class might be okay. As soon as the bell rang my teacher comes in and introduces herself. She also went over everything to expect, and also what we needed for her class. When she was done she told us to get into groups for an activity. I then looked around the room, and found someone I talk to. I ask her if I can join, and she says yes. We were to solve the equations to answer the questions about our teacher. For example one was "How old am I?", so we would solve the equation and hope that we did it right to get her correct age. Shortly class was over, and it was time to go to my 6th hour class which was world history.

I walk in and look around for Abby. She was seated in the back with her other friend and there was no other seats open, so I took one in the front. More students came piling in and once again, I have a good amount of preps in my class. On the bright side I have eye candy sitting diagonally behind me. Downside is his girlfriend sits behind him. The late bell then rang and my teacher walks into the room.

"Okay, I'm gonna make a seating chart, so the seats you're sitting in right now are the ones you'll be sitting in for a while." He explained.

Great. I'm stuck here in this seat as a loner in the front of the class. I'm that kid. Cool. Once everyone wrote their names down we went over what we'd be learning in class this year. I saw the list and recognized a lot of it. It was stuff I learned three years ago in 7th grade. At this point I'm just so done with school already, and want to go home. Thank god there's only one class left, otherwise I don't know if I would be able to make it. I sit there listening patiently for the bell to ring, so I can get this last class done and over with. Finally the bell rings, and I walk to english.

Luckily I knew exactly what room it was in. Once I get there I look around and pick a random seat, not really caring where I sat. I then listened to the same stuff as before. What to expect, the rules, etc. After that we did a mini quiz type thing to find out how each of us learn best. I got listening and writing. That pretty much took up all of our class time, and surprisingly wasn't that bad considering I hate english. I then hear the bell ring and feel so happy to just leave already.

After everything that's gone on today, I can honestly say that I really am going to hate this year. Most of my classes are just bleh. Maybe tomorrow will be better, maybe it'll be more than bleh and actually be amazing. Who am I kidding? It's school. It's going to suck just as much, or so I thought....
