chapter 1 : My New School

Ellen's pov

Wake up Ellen! time to go to school. You don't want to be late for your first day in school do you? l heard my mom saying, I groaned in frustration and woke up. l went to the bathroom room, did my business and came out to dress. l opened my closet and took out a jumpsuit. l didn't no what to wear on my first day so l wore it. l applied just an eyeliner. l didn't like using makeups cause mom always says I look like angel even without it. But for the sake of being new the school l had to apply it. who knows what will happen on my first day.

l pulled up my hair into a ponytail. l was satisfied when I looked in the mirror. l went downstairs for breakfast.

Good morning Mom? " Well hello dear, you look so beautiful today l hope you are not tempting to steal other girls boyfriends on your first day in high school she said playfully". Mom am only sixteen years, what am I going to do with a boyfriend. All boys are annoying and l don't think I will be able to love even one of them. Perhaps I am destined to die alone. "Oh don't be silly Ellen, you haven't met the right boy that why you are saying that. One day you will meet a boy who will make you heart accelerate just like my did when I met your father". Who knows maybe your dream guy is in your new school". Not every man is Dad mom. Dad is one in a million and everyday I miss him. l wish he was still alive we wouldn't have move from Mexico to the states. l wouldn't have left all my friends and previous life back home. "l know Ellen I love jack as much as you do but we had to move here to start a new life. "Now hurry up and eat your breakfast l don't want you to be trueIy late on your first day in school".

After I finished, l took my bag and l out. Mom locked the doors and went in her car. "Ellen get in l want to drop you on your first day". okay mom but won't you be late for work?. "No not at all, I got plenty of time. We drove to school and stopped at the school entrance. l got nervous, I felt a hand holding mine warmly. "Don't worry Ellen everything is going to be okay, you will be fine, she said grinning". l hope so. l said will getting out. l went through the gate a looked back and saw mom waving at me. l also waved and went in the school. l was very nervous so l kept my head down because I didn't wanted to draw any unwanted attention to me. l kept walking but suddenly I hit a body and fell hard on my ass. sorry, l said to whoever l had bumped into.

l look up a saw a pair of blue eyes that belonged to a an attractive girl. l wouldn't say attractive, infant so was very beautiful with long tanned leg, baby face, gorgeous baby and above all, a cute smile. she looked over at me. l thought she was about to be a bitch because that's how most of the beautiful girls in school act because of their good looks. l waited for the insults but nothing came. she smiled warmly at me and extended her hand to help me up. l was debating whether to take her hand or not. Who knew what if it was a payback plot for me for bumping into her. l doubtful took her hand and she helped me up. "it's okay is my fault l wasn't looking ahead or a wouldn't bump on to you like this.

By the way my name is Karen Jeffrey and is nice to meet you". Eeermm am Ellen Santiago and am a new student here. "So you just came today?" Yes. Am a new student myself but I'm two weeks old here. she said grinning. so, can we be friends? Yes I said, it's my first day and I could really use a friend. "okay I got to submit my assignment so goodbye. See you, she said waving". Maybe this school isn't as bad as I thought. l thought before making my way to the principal's office.
