Chapter 1: New kid in town

You know how when you watch a movie or read a book and then the main character is the new kid in town and school and all that and then she falls in love with one of the hottest guys in school probably the quarter back or captain and then there's also a mean girl probably the ex who still has a crush or the lead cheerleader.

Yeah that's basically me right now except the falling in love part, that's just ewww and gross, no offense.

It's a beautiful Monday morning, well I would like to think it is and I have two hours to school starts so let me give you guys a run through.

Ahhh...It all started three years ago when my mom got an appointment in some company I never bothered to learn the name cause it's name is just plainly a weird ...

This made us move cities yearly or annually I dunno her posting usually last a year which means I've been in three different schools just being a highschool.

And yes am tired, very tired. But what can I do am not up to 18 to be living alone and my mum never liked the idea of me staying with relatives, I love my extended family and we have a good relationship too. My mum just has this overprotective side to her that she can't trust anyone to take care of me. My cousin's say is because am workload, which I know it's not true cause am an obedient child....wait why did that sound wrong in my ears though.

Over the years I got to understand how high school works despite me changing everytime and it made it really hard to make friends, not like I made efforts to start a conversation I the first place. I felt it was a waste of time and didn't try.

So yea I was basically the girl no one notice the one always left behind.

It didn't bother me actually I was contented with the fact no one knew me, I preferred my peace than to being bulliedir the center of attention, Thank you very much.

Oh right I forgot to introduce myself, where are my manners, Hi Am Ashley Callie West, a senior at NorthCrest High, well soon to be senior in the next two hours.

People usually refer to me as Ash, am a red head, green eyes, 5'5, favorite color is blue and for favorite food I would like to think it's anytype of cereals.

I've never seen my dad, left before I was born. There are no pictures of him around and since mum never talked about him I took it as a sore subject so didn't ask. My mom's name is Mackenzie Claire West.

My mom and relatives says am lazy, but to be honest is just that I do not have strength to do stuffs, the word 'lazy' is just to deep.

"Ashley Callie West", I heard my mum's yell from downstairs.

Oh right I forgot am still laying on the bed

"Am coming", throwing the blankets off me I ran to the bathroom did the usuals, dressed in a white cute blouse, brown pleated skirt and my favorite pairs of white sneakers a Nike air force. Did some makeup, made it light, made my hair wavy and styled it with a golden snowflake hair pin.

"Yep all done", I whispered checking myself in the mirror.

I left my room and went downstairs to greet mom.

"Is about time you came downstairs", my mum said sipping on her home made smoothie as she gave me a ones over.

"What I still have like an hour left till school starts anyways", I said pulling the dinning chair to sit down.

"You have just 35minutes"

"What!!...shit...

"No cursing", my mum said interrupting my dilemma.

"Sorry", I said frantically searching for my mum's key to her Range Rover which isn't where it's supposed to be.

Usually she drops me off, yes my mum still drops me off, but whenever she stays at home I drive myself to school like today.

My mum shooked her head and gave me the car keys and a packed breakfast in a doggie bag.

"Oh thanks", I said smiling awkwardly "and bye", kissing her cheek I basically ran out the house, into the car and drove off.

So the thing is, school is a 20minute drive from home to and the first rule of highschool kids is never be late on your first day of school.

Rule#2: Never be late to your first class on the first day of school, it draws unnecessary attention and 99.5% of the the time not the good kind, it also made you disoriented throughout the whole.

Trust me I know, been there done that don't want to repeat history.

Luckily for me my mum already did the paperworks, so I already have my class schedule which is Ap English for first period, biology second, gym class gawd no then lunch break, art class and study class, well is not bad except for the gym class like come on who does gym on a freaking Monday.

I also watched a YouTube video on a tour of NorthCrest high which should be illegal and I do not know why it's still there. Anyhow, am just a minute till I reach the school gates and I have 11 minutes remaining, did I break speed limits I do not know.

I know you all are wondering what happened to Rule#1, well the number one rule is actually one of the shortest but hardest rule in the book... like is really hard cause you can't really know who is who so you got to be careful and highschools are filled with snakes and monsters, yep am calling them that.

Am sure you know this rule now already....

Rule#1: Don't give out your trust easily .

Finding a perfect spot to park, I sprinted out of the car well I didn't basically sprint out not to look like am being chased do not draw unnecessary attention remember, but you get what I mean.

Walking up to the entrance of the school building and remembering the YouTube video I immediately maade my way through the hallways the school is pretty though, I will take my time to appreciate during lunch break. Also with the help of the school map that I downloaded from their app and with three minutes left I entered into my first class Ap English.

I took a seat at the middle, now this brings us to our second rule

Rule#3: Do not seat at the front, I know it's a good spot, but when you check the history of the highschool and it's not all about academics and all that, being labelled as a nerd leads to bullying and seating at the back no one takes you seriously and that's automatic failure.

The bell rang immediately the teacher entered.

"Good morning class, I hope you enjoyed your summer and now is time for your books", the teacher which I've learnt is Mrs.vera said making the class to groan.

So yeah, if you want to survive high school especially senior year, buckle your seat belts and make sure to follow these rules am about to tell ya cause senior year is gonna be a long ride.
