First Day of Classes
Leann's P.O.V.:
I woke up to the wonderful sound of birds chirping in the window of Maya and I's dorm. It was 7 A.M. (just about the same time I wake up everyday) and today was the first day of classes. I was bursting with excitement for I was never allowed out of the house when I lived with my mom. I was home schooled and when I found out I got into this boarding school I was jumping for joy. But my mom on the other hand, was not. She said that the outside was scary world with poison ivy, quick sand and men with pointy teeth. But, I didn't believe that. Little did she know that I snuck out every night with Chip to have a little fun. Not partying! Just to visit Mrs. Potts and play Monopoly. And last time I've checked, he doesn't have pointy teeth.
As I started to get dressed(it was a pink and purple skirt with a simple white t-shirt and pink cardigan) I heard the snores of my roommate Maya. Man does she love to sleep. I was planning on waking her up but I decided against it until a little before 8 because we didn't need to be at our first period class until 9. I then put on my white converse and started to make my bed. At around 7:30 as I was braiding my long wavy brown hair and I hear the snoring stop. I look over at Maya's blue and pink bed (she couldn't decide whether to have pink or blue comforters and pillows so she chose both). I see Maya slowly getting up and I chuckle.
"Morning Sleeping Beauty." I said to her.
"Morning Leann. When did you get up?" She asked me.
"7 A.M."
"Why that early?!" Maya asked, more awake.
"I'm an early riser. 7 A.M. everyday." I replied like it was no big deal.
"Whatever. I need to get dressed. Is the bathroom open?" I nod as she quickly grabbed a blue skater dress and ran to the bathroom to get dressed. Fortunately, all of the dorms have bathrooms so we can take a quick shower instead of run down to the locker rooms. It's a HUGE time saver.
"Ready!" Maya says half an hour later, coming out.
"You look great! But um......."
"Yes? What is it?" Maya asked, concerned and worried.
"You still have your bed head....." I replied.
"Aw man! And we only have 30 minutes! The only thing I can do with my hair is brush it...."
"Not necessarily. Sit down." I said while smirking. I'm the hair wiz. I can do anyone's hair in less than 30 minutes flat. Depending if they cooperate. As she sits down I quickly bring out a curling iron and plug it in to heat it up. Once it gets hot, I immediately start curling her hair and hair spraying it. In about 20 minutes I have her hair and bangs curled. Her hair is extremely easy to curl and style so it took no time to curl it. Maya then takes a mirror and examines her hair.
"I love this! You are a miracle worker Leann!" Maya exclaimed as she hugged me.
"Your welcome. Hurry, we have to be at our first class in ten minutes." Maya's eyes widen and I quickly hand her a chocolate chip granola bar and a small jug of orange juice (we have a mini fridge and I keep granola bars in one of my drawers for moments like this) for us to eat/drink on our way.
As we walk the halls we search for room A101 which is our homeroom. The teacher is named Mr. Fredricksen and I heard that he comes off as strict at first but then as you get to know him, you find out that he is actually a lot of fun, sarcastic and likes to tease his students.
Just a few moments before the bell rings we are able to locate the classroom and sit down. I looked around the classroom and I only recognized 6 out of the 23 students in the classroom.
"Hello students. I am your homeroom teacher Mr. Fredricksen and just for today we won't do much since it is the first day of school. Now, I know that there are some new and old students here so we will do an activity to break the ice. I am guessing that you all are wondering what toilet paper is doing on my desk correct?" The teacher asked. Some nodded in agreement.
"I want you guys to pass the toilet paper around. Take as many pieces as you want." He said. As the toilet paper was passed around I noticed that some kids took almost the entire roll while others took one or two pieces. I didn't know if I should take a lot or just a few pieces. But, when the paper finally got to me, I settled on about 5 pieces to be on the safe side.
"Okay. Time to start the actually activity. People who took a lot are going to hate themselves in a moment. For every piece of toilet paper you got you must name a fact about yourself. And yes you must do all of them!" Fredrickson said, pointing out a boy who was whining about deciding on taking the ENTIRE roll of toilet paper.
"Now, who would like to go first?"
"Me!" I said. I was excited to do this activity and I figured someone has to go first. The teacher nodded and gestured me to stand up.
"Just tear away the paper and put it on the floor. Those who whine will be cleaning it up later."
"My name is Leann Moore, I like to paint and sing, I was adopted, my best friend is Maya Costa and I've been home schooled all my life." I said, finishing my five facts. I was about to sit down but Mr. Fredrickson stopped me before I could.
"Now, choose someone to go next." He said. I nodded and immediately turned to Maya. Realizing she was next, she stood up with her 3 pieces of toilet paper.
"Hi. My name is Maya Costa, I love to sleep and my best friend is Leann Moore." We all clapped as she finished her three facts and she decided to choose Cora next.
"Hi everyone! My name is Cora Benson, I love to swim, I was adopted just like my 5 other best friends, and I have a pet crab named Sebastian." She sat back down and Elena stood up knowing she was next. She was smart and only grabbed 1 piece of toilet paper.
"The name's Elena Woods." Elena sat back down and Zoe stood up with her two pieces.
"My name is Zoe O'Hara, and my two best friends are a guy named Chip and Elena."
Last but not least of us six, was Sofia. Sofia is normally shy but she only grabbed one piece of paper so we told her that she would be fine. She stood up and threw her piece on the ground.
"My name is Sofia Caselotti." Sofia sat down and we all clapped. But, she still had to choose someone else.
"Um.......I guess the guy with the blue hair." She pointed to. He stood up and he had an entire roll to himself. He took a deep breath and sighed.
"My name is Sam Walker, I have blue hair if you couldn't tell, my best friend is named Randy, I am a Harry Potter fan and I am a Slytherpuff....." And he went on and on until all he had was a toilet paper roll. Surprisingly Sam was able to think of multiple facts about himself to finish the game. Before Sam could pick someone else to talk about themselves, the bell rang we all started to pack up to head to our next class.
"Before you all go, write down on this piece of paper how much toilet paper you have so we can continue this tomorrow. I can tell when you're lying by the way." Mr. Fredrickson stated, looking at a couple of boys in the back row. Thankfully, the girls and I can just go because we have already done ours. As I tried to find my next class with Cora, I bumped into someone and my books go flying everywhere.
"Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" I heard a guy's voice say. I look up to see Sam, the guy with the blue hair helping me with my books and apologizing.
"No it's fine. I wasn't watching where I was going." I said. He smiled and handed me my last book.
"Hey what's your next class?" Sam asked. I looked down at my schedule to check.
"Biology."
"Same! Here, I can show you where it is. I know this school inside and out." He said proudly.
Thankfully, we were able to make it just in time to the classroom and just as we stepped in the door the bell rang. Cora, Sam and I decided to take the last three seats in the front row the teacher then introduced herself.
"Hello everyone. My name is Ms. Wonder and I will be passing out books and we'll start on our lesson."

After a hard day of classes Zoe and I decided to go to the library to see if there are any interesting books that we can read. As we walked in we saw a very familiar person.
"Mrs. Potts!" We exclaimed. She smiled and gave us both a hug.
"Hello Zoe, Leann. What book would you like to check out?" She asked us with a smile.
"Just looking for now." Zoe replied. She nodded and turned back to the computer.
"What are you doing here?" I asked her.
"This is my new job I was talking to you about."
I hugged her one last time and headed to the fictional section. I then found the Harry Potter books and decided to read them. I sat down in a comfy library chair and started to read the first book. Halfway into chapter two, Mrs. Potts told me that the library was closing and that I should head back to my dorm. I nodded in agreement and with Zoe, we went back to our dorms. Thankfully, we all have dorms near each other so that we can go over to see each other anytime we want. As I take my key and unlocked the door, I started to hear snoring. I opened the door and saw Maya sleeping with books surrounding her. I chuckled and started to work on my homework. There wasn't much since it was the first day but it was a little bit difficult. I soon, just like Maya, started to fall asleep.
