First Day of School

I hear my sister knocking on the door.

— Gaby, is everything all right? Tomorrow morning, I am going out with my new neighbor, she is the daughter of Mrs. Ophelia, the owner of the house; she is going to take me to register at the new school.

— What the hell, there's still more!

I, completely improper with all this change, fell back, realizing that what was bad could get even worse. The next day, Marina left very early and after a few hours came back with the news that I was registered and could go to school on the next class, to my despair, of course. The inevitable happened, my first day of school arrived, just at dawn I hear Soraya knocking on the bedroom door shouting.

— Gabriella, Gabriella, will you please wake up?! You have to leave early today!

— Uh, relax, Soraya, I'm coming, you don't have to make such a fuss.

— Yes, I do, since you don't know how to step in front of your nose, you don't even know how to go to the corner by yourself! Come quickly, your father is going with you today and from there he goes to his work, come soon, he said he can't be late, in the new job the bosses are sick, and they don't allow their employees to be late. We're waiting for you here in the kitchen, make sure you don't delay.

— OK, OK! — I answer, still half-asleep.

I jumped up and down rushing, after all I didn't know what was worse, facing the challenge of facing the new school or listening to Soraya so early full of her bad mood.

— I am ready, Dad, shall we go?

— Yes, my princess, let's go.

On the way to school, a thousand and one things went through my mind about my first day at school.

— Oh, mummy, what will the people be like in this school? Will I be able to talk to them? Or will they ignore me? What if they make fun of me? Oh my God!

Insecure with the new rhythm that my life was taking, I feared what was still to come, I approached the school with tears in my eyes, all I didn't want was to stay in this place, I just wanted my old life back. When we arrived, my father said:

— Daughter, to here I can go with you, now it is up to you.

— Ok, Dad, bye. — I replied with a downcast face.

He gives me a kiss on the forehead and goes to work, leaving me at the front door, staring awestruck at the immensity of that place, and then a young boy knocked me down.— Sorry, miss, I didn't mean to, are you ok, are you hurt? — asked the boy as he helped me up from the ground.

— It's alright! It was nothing, I was distracted and didn't realize that you were coming — I said, already leaving to look for the secretary. As I entered to ask for information, a kind lady answered me, realizing my discomfort.
