2020-11-01 22:20:37Classes were really slow today.
To top it all I didn't pay any attention. I was feeling really bad after exploding on Rachael and to make matters worse she was avoiding me all day.
When the bell rang, I rushed out of Literature class to catch up with Rachael who had Ap Biology as her last class.
I was halfway there when I heard someone call my name.
"Miss Dallas". I turned around and saw the School's secretary walking up to me. "Can you come with me. The Principal wants to see you for a few minutes".
Wait. What!
Why would he want to see me?Holy shitzu Kylie what have you doneBut wait I just got here like yesterday. Why would he want to see me now?I adjusted my bag on my shoulder and followed the secretary to the Principal's office. Sarah, the name of the secretary knocked thrice before we got a response.
"Come in". Sarah and I entered the office and saw that the Principal was on the phone.
"One minute please". I nodded my head and decided to take a look around his office. There was a coffee dispenser at the far end of the office, an office couch near the window and a door which I guessed was the toilet. On his desk was a name plate with his name on it.
Obviously
"Thank you Miss Sarah. You may leave now". Principal Bradshaw said as he returned the landline handset back to its base.
"Miss Dallas I know you're wondering why you're here,"he said resting his back on his chair. "It's nothing serious".Oh no biggie. I was called into the your office for an unknown reason. I'm sure I'm calm enough.
"I did a little research on your academics from your previous school, um Bayside high and I found out about something".
I almost choked on my own spit.
"Are you okay. Should I get water for you".
"I'm fine sir. You said you found out about something". I asked trying to compose myself.
"Yes". He brought out a file from his drawer. "How many Ap classes did you take in your previous school".
" Um...four sir."
"Which were Ap Calculus, chemistry, biology and physics, right?".
Oh so this is what he wanted to see me for. Thank goodness
I nodded my head
"And here you are only taking three excluding biology. May I ask why".
I adjusted myself in my chair. "I didn't really see a problem in it sir."
"Well I would advice you register for Ap Biology class since you've had good grades in it in your previous school. It wouldn't make any sense if you drop it now. I mean I'm impressed with your grades from your previous school. Your grades where top notch which means you're a really bright student and I hope you continue with that here. You might want to continue taking regular biology classes for extra credits I guess but that's left for you to decide. You are free to leave now".
I got up from my seat and made my way to the door.
"And one more thing". I turned to face him.
"You haven't applied for any college yet". He said handing a slip to me."I'll discuss with my mother. Thank you sir". I made my way out of his office.
I decided that I would talk to Rachael tomorrow because I was fifteen minutes late. I had tones of assignment to do.
I ordered an Uber to pick me up. Ma really needs to get a car for me.
I opened the door to my house and made my way to the kitchen. I was really starving.
I dropped my bag on the kitchen counter and made a few pancakes, added syrup on it, took a bottle of cola from the fridge and made my way up to my wonderful room. On my way to my room, I heard the ruffling of papers coming from Ma's study. I was surprised to see her home considering the fact that she comes home late.
"You're home early". I said taking a seat on the couch in her study.
"Yeah. I didn't want to work at the office today so I decided to bring work home. Anyways, how was school today".
"Today was a mess. There's this girl who wanted to be my friend but I kind of scared her away". I said with a mouthful of pancakes.
"Honey why'd you do that". I wiped my mouth with the tissue in my bag.
"I didn't mean to but friends are not my thing right now". She nodded her head, a sign of understanding.
"Anyways, the principal called me today. Something about me applying for college and adding Ap biology to my list of Ap classes". I told her handing the college application slip Mr Bradshaw gave me."I was thinking Harvard–". I said as I brought out my assignments from my bag "–or maybe Stanford incase I don't want to be far from here".
"Honey, they both are a good choice okay". Ma said
"I guess I'll fill this in and submit it tomorrow then. I don't want to be called into Mr Bradshaw's office ever".
I filled in the college application form and kept it but the side of my bag. I was about to leave Ma's office before my eyes landed on familiar picture, my father's picture."I also miss him too you know". Ma said. I guess she had walked up to me because she was now standing by my shoulder.
"You know you have your dad's eyes right".
"I know. You never shut up about it". I chuckled between tears.
Ma was always telling me how my eyes were just like my dad's- crystal blue. I also had his smile and dimples. Every other thing was from Ma. Her attitude, her hair color and others.
"Why did he have to leave". I turned to face Ma, tears already filling my eyes. My dad died of cancer about two years ago and it really got to me. Since then I made up my mind to be an Oncologist.
"Look hun, he's still with us okay. In our hearts. There's no need to cry". I guess she was also telling herself that because she was also crying.
" I really really miss him".
"Me too Kylie. Now you have to go to bed or you'll be late for school tomorrow, again". Ma said wiping a few years from my face. "Good night Ky"" Good night Ma"
~~~••••~~~
I got to school really early today because one, I couldn't sleep and two, I really needed to see Rachael and apologise for yesterday.
Before that, I made my way to Mr Bradshaw's office to submit my slip and also change my from normal Biology class to AP biology class. On my way out, I saw Rachael going into Mr Alberto's History class.
Oh great. We have history together.
I made my way into History class and took a seat beside Rachael. She was reading Pride and Prejudice.
"Hey Rachy". I said with a huge smile on my face.
"What do you want". Rachael said with her face still buried in her book.
"I, um want to talk". She dropped the book on the table.
"Oh now you want to talk". She said folding her hands to her chest. I pinched the tip of my nose, a habit my dad did whenever he was angry, annoyed, frustrated, under stress or trying to appease someone.
"Ok I'm sorry Rachael. It was rude of me".
"You could say you were a bitch". She said with a mischievous smirk.
"Oh c'mon. That's just rude". I said throwing my hands in the air. Rachael furrowed her brows, picked up her book and continued with her reading.
"Ok fine. I was a bitch. A really big one. Satisfied".
"Yeah. I am".
"So, like we're cool...right?". I asked stretching my hands for her to shake.
"Yeah, we're cool".
Just then, Mr Alberto entered into the class and began his lesson.

New Me Chapter Four
I felt someone pulling my duvet and I was getting really irritated. It was like tug of war. As the person kept on pulling down, I kept on pulling up. I wondered who the person disturbing my peaceful sleep was. It had to be Ma since we were literally the only ones staying here. I couldn't take the constant pulling so I had to give up. I opened my eyes slowing to see Ma looking down on me like I had grown a couple extra heads. "What happened. Do I have drool on my face". I asked using the back of my hand to rub my face. "No. It's just that you look like an Orangutan with your hair all puffy like you've been raised my them or something". Ma said as she picked up my duvet from the floor. "Oh really". I chuckled as I got down from my bed. "Like you don't look w
New Me Chapter Three
"Okay Miss Eros-Dallas. Here's your timetable and the key to your locker" the secretary said while giving me a warm smileI nodded my head in approval and left her office. I check the locker number on my key and gave a slight sigh "Locker 350. I wonder where that could be." I said walking down the hallway as I said every locker number I passed. I was still on locker 150 and I was already late for my first class - Ap calculus so I decided to carry the few books I had in my hand and look for the so-called Ap calculus class.After walking for five minutes, I found myself standing in front of a door that had a sign saying 'Ap calculus with Mrs Hillary'. I opened the door slightly and took a peek inside. I had no idea why I did that so I just opened the door fully and stepped right in. When Mrs Hillary heard the door open
New Me Chapter Two
Buzz! Buzz!I jumped out of my bed with so much force that I hit my head on the night lamp. I ran downstairs to check what had made that sound and I found a repairman fixing the doorbell."Honey you're awake." Ma said arranging some of our kitchen wares in the cupboard. We arrived in California last night. It was a long flight which I slept through."I wouldn't have woken up now if it hadn't been for the loud noise I supposedly heard in my sleep." I said opening the fridge to get something to drink. To my outmost surprise it wasn't empty. " I did some online grocery shopping." Ma said as if she was able to read my mind.I grabbed a small bottle of water and took it in within a few gulps."So, what's really happening here...I mean the loud noise.""The doorbell had a little problem so I had to call in a repairman to fix it.""Oh...I
New Me Chapter One
I woke up from my bed very tired. My bones were as stiff as whatever I could use to describe it. I could hear the voice of Principal Hillary in my head as he told me that I was not longer wanted in his school anymore.Worst day ever!The brief knock on my door awakened me from my own thoughts and I hurried to open it." Hey Ma" I said opening the door for her to get in."Hey Kylie" my mum said placing a kiss on my forehead. "How was your night"" Apart from Principal Hillary's voice in my head and the looks I got from the whole school last week.... I'll say it was ok" I told her moving towards my bed."Just came in to check if you've packed your things. Our flight leaves at 1 so you'd better be ready" she said focusing her eyes on my wardrobe."I can't believe I'm transferring to another school.... another state" I said looking out my window
