Togetherness is all that matters

First day of senior year

My name is SaRai Mae-Lynn Brown. I'm named after my grandmother who's middle name is Mae. I live in Beverly Hills with my 2 siblings & both parents who's barely home because they travel so much for their jobs. I actually have 5 siblings all together but three of them are away for college (still in the same state though). That's the reason we don't travel with our parents is because we're all still in school. Oh also my grandmother who stays 10 mins away from us, comes to our house everyday to look after us; even though we're old enough to look after ourselves. But I'm just thankful she's still around:)

First day of school-
My alarm clock went off, I checked the time it's 7am and I have to be at school by 8:40

so I have enough time to get myself together plus my school is only 7 mins away.

I get out of bed with blurry eyes yawning & stretching.

I slip on my house shoes & headed to my bathroom; I took a quick shower, brushed my teeth, got dressed & put on something cute but comfortable

then started doing my hair in a half up half down with curls, put on my jewelry then headed downstairs.

I didn't have taste for a big breakfast; I was too nervous to eat so I grab a breakfast bar & a yogurt out the fridge & went to my living room & watch tv for a few mins.

Then I jump up & looked at the time "oh shit it's 8:10" I said quietly.

I ran upstairs to my room & put on my fav Jordan's that matched my outfit, I grab my favorite perfume & lotion and put some on my light brown skin then grab my purse & book-bag then headed downstairs.

I saw my grandma in the kitchen; she must've came in after I went upstairs. "Good morning Nana" I said walking in the kitchen.

"Good morning Rai, do you want any breakfast before school?" She asks. "No thanks, I had yogurt earlier, that's all I could eat plus I'm on my way to school now" I said. "Oh ok see you later then" she said. "bye nana" while kissing her on the cheek.

...I walk towards the front door & headed outside and i see my brothers already outside talking to their friends in the front yard( I guess they were waiting for me). I walk towards them and said hi "oh hi Rai" both of my brother friends said while smiling.

"let's go, I don't wanna be late on the first day of school" I said.

Usually every morning while walking to we walk my youngest brother to his school first which is right down the street from me & my other brother's high school.

"Bye Jake, have a good first day" i say as my little brother walks into his school building waving at us.

Now it's just me , my brother and his friends walking to our school. We finally make it inside the school, since my brother is 1 year younger than me (he's a junior) so most of his classes are downstairs & mine is upstairs.

"See ya after school i guess" I said playfully hitting my brother on his shoulder. "Alright see ya later kid" he said smirking while walking away, i playfully roll my eyes then noticed his friends smiling & waving at me. I waved back & smiled.

My brother friends always had a crush on me idky. I've always thought of them as my brothers as well, they've been friends since elementary plus I'm not attracted to people younger than me so they can forget about it.

I took my schedule out of my book-bag and headed upstairs to classes.

My 1st hour is history, I walked in the classroom & noticed one familiar face, my friend Gabriella that I've known since 9th grade. I walked over to her, then her face lit up & we hugged each other so tight from excitement & started to talk a little about our summers, then the bell rung then everyone sat down in their seats.

45 mins go by **bell rings** class is over FINALLY

I jumped up, said goodbye to my friend Gabrie then left out the class.

My 2nd hour was ela which was boring and my 3rd hour algebra which was also boring because none of my friends were there.

Finally 4th hour which means one more hour til lunch. I sigh "ugh I can't wait to see all of my friends".

The reason I only have only a few friends is because I'm very shy & isolated plus I feel so different from everyone else; different style, different skin color, different hair texture, and different lifestyle. So everywhere I go people are always staring which makes me feel so nervous & insecure.

I walk into my 4th hour class (science) & once again no familiar faces, i roll my eyes. Feeling bad about my first day already, I sat down taking out my notebook & pencil. Looking down feeling eyes on me "I'm so ready to go" I say under my breath while sighing.

*bell rings* "alright class!" the teacher says with high but soft voice, which made me look up then immediately froze when I saw him "damn" I whispered under my breath.
