Let me tell you all about it!!
Alright.
6:00 am: Wake up call.
AH MY GOD. THAT IS SO EARLY. O____O HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BE AWAKE THAT EARLY??!!! (That is six hours earlier than I woke up during vacation. Ten hours on some days.>___>)
So. My mom came in, I barely noticed she was there, then suddenly realized that I had to wake up. Even though I probably only fell asleep 5 hours earlier...
So, I got dressed (to impress! Hee. <3 spiffy shirt and spiffy skirt, and fish net stockings.)
Put in contacts. (Aiii. Which hurts more when you have red eyes that want to close.)
Brushed hair. Put makeup on. Blah blah.
6:35 am: Rusty woke up.
>_> I had taken 35 minutes to get pretty. He crawled out of bed and got ready in three minutes. Guys.
6:45 am: Parents take picture.
Yeah. They're the type who take pictures before every first day of school. (Which is cool in my opinion. I like having pictures to remember everything.)
And then Adrianne came over. Rusty and I rushed to get our bags.
So we walked over to the bus stop.
Adrianne and I sang the "I'm cold" song. (I sighed inwardly. Maybe things weren't that different.)
7:55-ish am: Bus ride
So. The bus came. It was crazy, the bus basically was filled just with our first stop. o_o
It was a really long bus ride. And pretty boring, since I had 40 minutes with nothing to do.
Except...I like just riding in vehicles. Whether I'm off to track and field day (X____x) or a friend's house, there's just something really calming about it. Because...whether I'm off to have fun or be tortured, there's always that few minutes of peace. (Or, in this case, 40 minutes...)
So...we got to school. I wasn't exactly sure where to go, so I just followed Adrianne around.
We talked to follow WEJ-ys, then, I went to my locker. (My high school locker. o_o) Dropped off my bag.
And went to my first class.
(and from here I don't remember the exact times, so I'll just write the events...)
First Class Ever in High School
So...first class was math.
I had to stand around for a while outside the door, since there were maybe 20 minutes from when we got to school to when school actually started...
The doors opened. I went in. Looked for a solitary seat in the back, managed to get one in the front.
And then...hah...Colin Johnstone came and sat beside me. Colin Johnstone. O___o (HAHAHAA. Okay, so this probably means very little to you...well, he was this guy in my class back in grade 6. He was really weird. I wouldn't go so far as to call him my friend, but I guess I was nicer to him than most, since he was somewhat outcast. Oh em Gee, he asked me to the grade 6 grad dance. >_> of course, I declined. He wasn't being serious anyways.)
So he came, said "areyouAmy?". (He has a tendency to speak fast without making sense...) I asked "what?", giggling inwardly. He again asked "Are you Amy?". I said "Uh...yeah." So he said "I'm Colin. I was in your grade 6 class, remember?" I tried to be as polite as I could, but I couldn't help but giggle a little as I said, "Oh, yeah. Hi Colin!"
So. He ruined my whole loner attempt. But at least he let me sit in silence.
Then, a few minutes later, the girl beside him asked him "How old are you, seven?". "Oh, yeah. I get that a lot." (He's pretty short. >_>;)
And so they kinda started fighting. He affirmed that he was in fact 14. She thought it was attitude. (Umm, hello, you just told him he looked like he's 7. Is there a nice way to take that?) Then he remarked how she was a grade 10 in a grade 9 class. (Oh yeah, she's cool. Failing math is hawt!) She asked if there was a problem with that, and said that she really wasn't the person to cross.
Anyways, it ended up with her swearing life would be a lot harder from then on. (Isn't she cool? Failing math, AND threatening grade 9s. I so wanna be like her when I grow up! Although, I guess Colin does have an attitude, but she did insult him. Ah dunno. I'll just move on...)
So eventually the teacher came in (after plenty of swearing from the grade 10s who are so cool that they decided to fail last year.)
She changed the seating arrangement, so now I'm beside...ummm...some other guy. >_> forgot his name. Blake? Something like that...
After that it was just explaining stuff. (And a math puzzle. Which...I have for homework...I should go work on that soon...)
Well, my math teacher seems nice.
The students don't. I predict grade 10 girl will be a problem. (By the way, it's not so much that I have a problem with people who fail classes, as long as it's because they don't understand, and they're not just lazy. But it's more that she was so rude to the grade nines...)
First Break Ever of High School
Erm...way too long. I dropped my math book off in my locker, (after failing to open the lock at least 4 times...) visited Adrienne and Steph, talked to Rusty, and still had time before my next class. But...ah well. (it could be more useful if I had classes at opposite ends of the school or something, I guess...)
Second Period
Drama. :3
So, waited outside the room for a while. A girl attempted to learn all our names, but thought I was Emma. But she did like my skirt. (Ooo, so did someone in my math class. And I think someone in the halls randomly...)
Then the teacher came. I met up with Manleen. Boy sat beside me. (Or rather, he was probably sitting beside his friend, and I just happened to be there.)
Boy asked Manleen how she was. She said okay. He said that was good to hear. (Heehee.)
Teacher did attendance. She said we could talk if we wanted.
So boy asked me how I was. I said fine. He said he was good. He asked me for our names. He told us he was Leo. (Hah, awesome name, duntcha think? ...I assume that's how it's spelt...)
Leo has long dark hair which he wears in a ponytail. He has blue eyes and a face full of freckles. He's shorter than me, thin and lanky. (Nurie: he actually looks somewhat like Treespinner.)
So he asked Manleen how she was again. I told him he already asked. He said he had asked me. I reminded him that he had asked her before. We continued debating for a bit, then Manleen butted in to our lovely conversation and said that I should stop arguing with him. (Manleen thinks I'm an angry girl who takes things too seriously, and has an out of control temper or some such thing. She also thinks I'm going to come out of high school a mean girl. Isn't that lovely?)
And then, when we were passing the sheets on the course, he was somewhat dazed when I leaned over to pass the paper to him. I waved the paper in front of his face, and a few people giggled. He suddenly noticed, and told me to be more obvious next time.
And then he died. (We were playing wink murder. :3)
And then we had an assembly. (He sat behind me, with some cool punky girls, and occasionally put his arms in front of me to grab stuff from his friend in front of me.)
Leo seems really cool. I hope we get to be friends. (Oh, by the way, this feeling is purely platonic, if you were wondering.)
Lunch
So then I had to go figure out where to go for lunch. (After Adrianne told me probably 3 times that I had to go get lunch. I was just following her around until then.)
Free hotdogs. Whoo hoo. Oh well, there was a free coke too. So it was fine. And free. (And very crowded.)
So I went and sat by the windows in the foyer, wondering where Adrianne was.
Krissy came and sat with me for a bit. (Ruining my angsty loner-ness) Then she ran off somewhere.
Eventually Adrianne came back.
We ate. We stared at bleach-blond-puppy-boy and popsicle-mohawk-boy. (erm, I think Adrianne said their names are...Brandon and...Jeff? Maybe...not sure...) I noticed Leo off with the cool punky girls. (I decided that I wanted to join their group. They seemed cool...)
After commenting on all the band tees we had seen, we went upstairs. Talked to Steph, Laxanna and Manleen for a bit. They went off. Adrianne and I stood around her locker for a while.
Lunch was still not over. Not even when I took 4 tries to open my locker.
It technically wasn't even done when I headed downstairs for my next class. >__> so far the breaks are very long...
Room 108
French class. I stood outside and doodled for a bit. The teacher let us in.
I noticed there were names on the desks, and found mine, which, though in the back, was not solitary. "Echo" was the name on the card on the desk beside me.
Echo, a girl with funky red hair, came and sat beside me.
So...French was fine. The teacher doesn't seem very French. I mean, I guess he can speak it, but he has a strange accent when he does. (Maybe I'm just too used to French teachers actually being French.)
But he seemed nice enough. (Even though Echo was mouthing to her friend on the other side of me how he was "so gay". >___>;)
Break Number 2
So eventually the teacher came in (after plenty of swearing from the grade 10s who are so cool that they decided to fail last year.)

Break Number 2
Too long. Just like the other one. Ah well. I just stood outside the classroom and doodled for a while.
Last Class
(By the way, by here my exhaustion was taking over. And my eyes were really sore from my contacts.)
English. My last class.
Got an alphabetical seating arrangement. I think the girl beside me's name is..Sam? (I am so bad at names...)

I was rather excited, actually. I like English. :D
But she forced us to do a "Scavenger Hunt" where we tried to find out who fit random descriptions. (Like, plays guitar, watches Canadian Idol, etc.) And therefore I had to socialize. (Although, actually, people just came to me. :3)

And then we got our textbooks and looked through them. Got a "Three Little Pigs" story (that shall inflict nightmares, apparently) to read. And...that was basically it.
Teh Bus
Teh Bus
So, school was out! Yays! (Yesh, I had homework to do. >_> but at least I could be at home where my cats love me and wont swear constantly...)
I had no clue where to look for the bus. So I just followed Rusty. :3 And picked up Adrianne at her locker on the way.
On the way to the bus, I saw this really cool (coughcutecough) guy, with black hair with red bangs, and an Avenged Sevenfold band tee, and yeah. He was cool. (I think Adrianne said he was in her math class...or maybe she was talking about someone else, he looked pretty old...)

So when we got on the bus, the seats were basically all taken. Adrianne went near the back and sat with some random person. I sat with Rusty. (Hee, what are siblings for?)
And another bus ride.
Although, apparently, the guys in the back were talking about me? o_O
Adrianne just called my name and said that they were talking about me. I asked what they were saying, but she didn't know. But when I turned around to talk to her, this guy said something like "Hey, it's her." and I think he invited me to go join their discussion? I just ignored it. I must say, though, I am curious WHAT they were saying. I could only think of "OOO, look at Rusty's girlfriend!" or "Heh, look at her. That freaky goth hippy. Thing." >_> yeah. I actually get that a lot. Both that I'm apparently Rusty's girlfriend, not his sister, and that I'm a goth.
But anyways. Long bus trip. Really bored.
Happy to be home, but exhausted, and not so happy about the homework I already managed to accumulate. On my first day. >___<
So, my over all thoughts on high school, so far?
...Okay, this is rather odd, but...
I'm actually kind of excited about my classes. I mean, there's a lot of homework involved, which will kill me, and I am a little nervous about how well I'll do, but...my classes sound cool.
I really love English. I could write forever, if I had the time and strength in my hands.
I like French. It's this weird thing about me, but I really want to learn a bunch of languages. (I doubt I ever will, but I can start with French, and maybe Spanish...) Again, lots of work, but it's something I want to learn.
Drama sounds like a lot of fun. I'll start out shy, but maybe they'll unleash the dramatic side of me. (Although, I'm sure Manleen will not approve of this new side. Even though she doesn't like me when I'm shy either. >_>;)
And math...I don't love it. I don't hate it. I just like it in small doses, to help me think and such. And hopefully I'll pick up the new material.
Yesh, I am a geek. 8) Sorry, but I really like these classes! (Next term, however...the only thing I have to look forward to is art. >_> since I have geography, science, and gym, X__x...)
However, the social aspect...I'm not so fond of.
I'm sincerely thinking of staying a recluse. The art freak. A loner. (With the exception of Adrianne. ...although, this will make any group work I have in class very difficult.)
I mean...none of the other students seem very...alluring. I don't really feel the need to become friends with any of them. (With the exception of maybe Leo, and his friends...)

And there I was, thinking I'd join clubs, and go to dances, and make tons of friends. And now...I'd rather just go home and watch TV then be around them. (I am so like Rory. Next the "headmaster" will force me to be more social. >_>;)
Maybe I just don't know them yet. Maybe I should make an effort.
But it's so much easier just being alone.
Sigh. I'm going to miss the guys. I mean, I'll miss the girls too, but I still have female friends at West, and the other girls seem pretty nice. But...I miss male companionship. I don't mean boyfriends. (Although, I guess I wouldn't mind getting one of those some time...)
But...there's something about guys...that you just can't find in your female friends...
I dunno. Maybe I'm just boy crazy. >_>;
I'm tired. I should go to bed and get some sleep. Up again tomorrow, bright and early, to be surrounded by people I'd rather not be around.
(Meh. I'm in a bad mood now.)
