EER! EER! EER! The sound of the alarm burning my ears, making me go deaf. I knew I was going to be nervous but I didn't think that I was going to be this frightened to start my first day of high school. . . as a freshmen. My stomach was queasy and it didn't go away with a quick rub. I just wanted to lie back down and curl up under my blanket, and wait the day out. But, that all dissapated when I smelt my mom cooking up something delicious. After I was all fed and the butterfly's calmed down a bit it was time to get ready. I quickly rushed to the bathroom and closed the door and then locked it, just to be sure no one bothered me. I washed my face with the ice cold water, as cold as the Arctic water. Then brushed my teeth for at least five minutes, which left a fresh cool minty taste behind, better than having ten ice breakers mint.
I put on my freshest most cleanest t-shirt, khakis and socks and then picked the shoes that matched my outfit the best. I heard the rumbling of the engine starting up and ran to pick up my bag and dashed for the door, slamming it shut with a rumbling clatter of metal against wood. I hopped into the warm and cozy car and then headed straight for school. The ride to school was a blur the only few things that I remember seeing was the bright orange sun peeking over the mountains, and the tall buildings of downtown flying past my car making me feel like I was the pilot of a spaceship. As I gazed upon the school approaching faster than ever the queasiness returned, but worse than before. I slowly unlocked and the opened the only barrier that separated me from school. When I reached the sidewalk that lead to the school, I quickly looked around for someone that I knew. Right when I made eye contact with the person I knew, all the queasiness and the fright from me weakened because it had loss the battle, and I knew I was going to be just fine.
