Overrated First Day
So it is officially the first day of school in a new year and the trip with Char and I to Puerto Rico was crazy although 80% of it was for gymnastics. That is, we were sent to represent the international elite of gymnasts in their all week convention in Puerto Rico as the two-year tenure junior ambassadors. It was an intense work scheme and especially having to travel immediately after new years week and all the festivities.
Anywho, we had arrived back in England late Sunday evening. By the time I reached home I didn't even get to unpack I just crashed in bed thanks to jetlag.
My alarm woke me at eight, nine-ish. I got up to observe that I was still in the clothes I came home in however, I didn't care. I sauntered down the stairs remembering not about the elevator.
Mom: Oh here you are! Come sweetie, the
hair stylist is waiting.
*Sapph stares and mom takes her
hand and carries her to her cosmetics
room* My sleepy baby. *Chuckles*
Sapph go wash your face and get back
here. *Nods and does as told*
*********************************************
The sun beamed at me through the very much open blinds, nonetheless, it was clear that outside was still cold. I am now taking my very warm shower and all of a sudden my 7 am alarm went off. Curses to the sun, I got up wayyyyyy before my alarm.
After showering, I put my undergarments and uniform on with my red honours vest and my hooded sweater because it was going to be cold. I took my already packed knapsack and threw it on my bed.
I took off my night cap while looking at myself in the full body mirror. You know I don't remember choosing to dye my ends burgundy however it looks nice so far in the rods. With such excitement to see the finished product, I proceeded to pull the stuff out watching the curls drop one by one. It was quite a lot to take out so I called Georgetta who helped me quickly.
It took me 20 mins. the least to get the rods out. Anywho, I gave my hair a 3/4 part and brushed down the parted sections. Now I'm ready to go. I put on my black puma platformed shoes (custom-made) and quickly drew my socks up to my knees while balancing my bag on my back and my iPhone in my mouth going into the elevator. A mean there's no way I could take the stairs.
Oh and stupid Seth is still here because his semester starts the second to last week of January. Seth was in the elevator and saw me struggling, did nothing but be amused at my bewilderment. Uuughhh!
I got my socks fixed and dashed into the elevator before it closed and spitefully dropped my bag on his foot as I went browsing on my phone.
Seth: Ah! [Puts my bag on the side and
hushes his toe...no his stupid yeezys]
I'm sorry big brother. [ He mumbles as
If he wants me to say it on his demand.]
It was too late as the elevator had opened up for me to get out and I casually said good morning to dad who stood puzzled with his cup of coffee looking on at a babbling Seth.
He told me good morning, shrugged his shoulders and went in the direction of his office.
Aaaagghhh, what a lovely day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So after I ate breakfast with mom and whiny Seth, I went down into the garage to get in Baby sil' (my silver car). I've never driven her to school before so I said why the heck not.
I had 15-20 minutes tops to get to school and so I quickly sped off after going through the gate because I have to get my morning latte first and then I don't want to be late as head prefect. It would look bad.
I got to school at 7:50 and took my place beside Char and Sol on the platform which is where the heads along with headmasters are situated for assembly and important occasions.
So Teylor and I are official as of the last day of our Paris trip. I'm so happy that I was smiling throughout the entire headmasters speech barely listening.
Char: Sapph?
[ She consistently taps my shoulder]
Sapph: Mhmm...?
Char: Assembly is over.
Sapph: Oh yeahhhhhh.
Char and I walk behind Sol in the line to get off the platform and I lifted my head to see Teylor, who is the male head prefect, by the left wing door ensuring students exit the hall orderly. I squeezed my Marc Jacobs coat covering my arm ànd followed behind Char as we were by now midway to the exit and laughing with the others around us.
I was about approaching Teylor and his Tom Ford fragrance was reaching already. He turned his head and we instantly made eye contact. Uuughhh...I'll always melt at those gorgeous eyes, I thought. He smiled from ear to ear at me and I gushed and smiled back putting my hair behind my ear.
Char and Sol who exited before me had gone ahead with Dillon and Cole. Teylor drew me out of the line and positioned me beside him with a cute giggle then in 0.1 seconds his face went back to being serious as he directed the others out of the hall. It was all funny though because most of them were his friends.
_____________________________________________
After ensuring that the hall was completely empty, Teylor and I began walking down the hallway. He and I have different homerooms but he offered to walk me to mine.
Teylor: I was facetiming you last night to see
if you got home but you weren't
answering.
Sapph: As soon as I got to my room I went
out like a light.
Tey: My little baby was tired? *I nod* Sad, I
hoped you would come see the stars
with me again but I guess it will be a
next time.
Sapph: Of course my love. Mhmmm... I'm
sorry though.
Tey: It's okay babe. You want to hang out
after school?
Sapph: Sure but don't you have football , Mr.
Captain?
Tey:. *Sapph pokes his covered abs* Oh
Yes actually I do. Can you wait on me
or do you want to go ahead to my
house?
Sapph: I'll tell you at lunch. I had no idea we
had reached to my homeroom.
Tey: I will see you at lunch sexy lady! *We
kiss each other quickly*
Sapph: Teylor! Don't say that out loud in
public. *Embarrassed*
Tey: [going down the hallway] You know I
am not afraid. It's true!
Sapph: Teylor!
Tey: *gives his million dollar smile to her and
turns in the direction of his homeroom*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
As I turned to open the door I could see a bunch of people staring back at me with weird expressions on their faces and smiles. Anywho, I shook it off and entered to see people chattering like normal. As I was about to sit in the seat beside Char, our homeroom teacher, Mrs. Heiez, walked in. I love looking at her. She was just so well put together and classy.
Anywho, she did the register and reminded us of the protocol for the year and what is expected of us this semester. Most importantly, regarding tertiary applications, essays and scholarships along with the new criteria for graduating.
After all that, Char and I went talking about college, graduation and what not then we switched and started talking about ideas for the dance festival in February and the upcoming events for which the team would be participating in. AP Biology was on the Science building and so we made our way over and took the elevator up to the fourth floor.
So to explain we have different buildings for the four main blocks but the main building was adjoined to them. Anyways, we got up to class and Mr. Roshet was already setting out the materials for the second half of the session. Yup, we were early so automatically we had to help set out the apparatuses. No questions asked.
*********************************************
After third and fourth period of AP Chemistry and Physics, I was now making my way down to the cafeteria by myself because Char's group got out early from her room and the new policy allows no students to linger in the hallways without constructive reasoning. Anywho, I stood in the corner of the elevator with a few people responding to important imessages.
By the time I got down to the first floor I had to cross over to the main to get to the cafeteria. Teylor texted me then saying he had practice during lunch as well so I should not look out for him.
I met the girls at the centre seat upstairs the cafeteria and we ate our lunches while being loud about hot topics that were seemingly plaguing our school and city. I know Teylor only has a protein shake before school so I picked him up his favourite, grilled and cheese ham sandwiches at the food truck on the way downstairs. I was going to text him to ask if practice would go over lunch, however, five minutes before lunch was up I heard the howls of the jags (the boys) passing by the outskirts of the cafeteria.
Anywho, we had one session of free period after Calculus, yea we do the same courses, so I held off until then. Mia and I went to Calculus together and yea see ya...
*********************************************
Typically students are supposed to use their free period to do some scholarly reading or whatever related to the sort, but this year, since Monday free periods are only half an hour, we decided to use it to watch one episode of Grey's anatomy in the study room per free period. Oh yea that is life. Shhh!
A mean how do you expect us to study in half hour. So me, Char, Sol, Mia and Alexis gathered in the study room to the back and watched episode one of the new season. I went over to the next study room where Teylor and his friends were and gave him the plate of sandwiches quickly without even saying a word but then I remembered something.
Sapph: *whispers in his ear* Oh I will wait by
your house.
Tey: *wraps his hand around my waist* Oh
why?
Sapph: I'd tire to wait in the sun and I don't
have any extracurricular activities
today.
Tey: So you have the copy of my keys?
Sapph: *thinks then looks at him shyly*
Noooo.
Tey: Mhmmm... here's mine but next time
you're coming over you have to bring
yours because you don't let me in my
room right away sleeping beauty.
*Mocking tone*
Sapph: To be fair, you only told me about this at school but Ok I promise to keep up until you get there.
Tey: Bye, bye now tiny baby girlfriend. *Smiles innocently*
