"Sienna. Time to get up! It's the first day at your new school!" Mom said.

Then, I slapped her head.
"There." I said. "I just hit the snooze button. Can I go back to bed?"
"I'm afraid it doesn't work like that, honey. Besides, the bus is coming to get you. It's a long way from here to school so if you miss the bus, you will have to walk yourself."
"Why didn't you say so? I would've been up a long time ago!"

Collin still couldn't believe we were taking the bus to school. Although I could relate to him. I rarely took the bus.

Finally, the bus came. We got on and sat down. A kid called Collin over and he sat down with him. I took my seat in the front row.
"What do you think your doing?" Someone snapped.
I had no reply. The  person who said it was a girl about the same high as me with brown eyes and long blonde hair with brown highlights.
"Well? What are you doing in my seat?" She asked again.
"Your seat?" I asked. "I didn't know we had assigned seats on the bus!"
"You must be new. I'm Janice and this is my squad. Ellie, Sara, and Kim. I like you. Maybe you can join the squad? I can help you find the good type and show you the bad type."
"I think I found the bad type for myself. But thank you." I said while getting up.

Then, the bus lurched forward and I fell on my face unharmed. Unfortunately, I had a lot of pointing fingers pointing at me.

My first day was off to a terrible start.

Class wasn't too bad. But whenever I answered a pop question correctly, people would stare at me or whisper.

Lunch was just about the worst. Nobody wanted me at their table and

Today, the mathletics were meeting and I signed myself up. But that was where the barrel reached the bottom of the hill...
