Right when I got to school, I was lost. Just a little advice for people who are lost, don't be afraid to ask. They say high school is a jungle, but nobody is going to pounce if you have a simple question. If you don't feel comfortable asking another student, ask a teacher. They are there to teach you whether it's in Chemistry or trying to find the locker room.
The first class I had was Phys Ed. I have this as my early bird class which means I have to go to school much earlier than everyone else. After finding where I had to be, I was pretty much standing by myself in the middle of a large group of people. That definitely sucked. Then the coach showed up, called roll, and assigned our lines. After all that fun stuff, he asked if anyone was new. I felt obliged to raise my hand, so I did. All I heard from the other students were "Good luck," and, "Everyone is crazy," and worst of all, one girl said, "We eat babies." It didn't phase me because I knew I had my little "expectations" to look forward to. After the whole class now knowing that I was a new girl, a couple girls introduced themselves. They're names were Kelsie and Dia. They were actually really nice and I spent the whole class period with them. My P.E. coach seemed pretty cool but it was a little bit hard to predict what he'd be like. I didn't get any vibes when it came to if he was nice.
After class, they introduced me to all their friends so I didn't feel left out. All of their friends were really cool. I can't remember their names though since there were way too many people. I almost felt overwhelmed but relieved that I didn't have to be the person to have to make friend all by myself. I feel pretty lucky that Kelsie and Dia introduced themselves to me because I'd be a total fish out of water.
Then the bell rang and I had my first actual class which was history. The class was pretty good. Not anything interesting. In the middle of class, I started getting cramps which were "signs" of Aunt Flo coming to visit (If you know what I mean). Unfortunately, I can't keep track of it monthly because it's all over the place for some reason, so I wasn't sure if it was "it" or not. As soon as class ended, I ran straight to the bathroom to check and I was perfectly fine. So I then started to look for Dia, Kelsie, and all of their friends. I should've gotten at least one of their numbers because I couldn't find them and spent the whole break walking around looking like an idiot.
Then it was time for my next class, French. This class was crazy. My teacher started speaking French as soon as we walked through the door. Nothing but French. No English. Just French. It was so confusing and I had somewhat of a headache. I started getting even worse cramps in class and started to really worry. I didn't want to be the person to ask to go to the bathroom on the first day, so I waited and hoped for the best. Luckily I was wearing a long shirt to cover any accidental leaks. I kept checking my chair for anything and it was totally clear. Just like the last one, as soon as class ended, I went straight to the bathroom. As soon I got in the stall, there it was. Aunt Flo arrived all over my shorts. Luckily, my P.E. shorts were in my backpack so I changed. Also, the next period (class period to be exact) was open period so I was able to go home and not have to deal with the situation anymore.
So, the first day had some highs and some lows but it was overall not bad at all. The whole "monthly gift" thing wasn't a huge deal. It was hidden and I was pretty lucky to have a back up. I'm excited for the rest of the year. It should be interesting.
