Cheerful Girl

Episode 1 First day at New School

"Ringgggg ... ringgggg ... ringgggg......."

Alarm clock at the side of my bed ring off and woke me up. Today is my first day at school or should I say new school. I am not sure if I feel excited to meet new friends at school especially the person who is going to sit beside me the whole year. I pushed that thought away and rushing to the bathroom before my younger sister, Sonny wake up. She always takes longger time in there than I am.

So to avoid any 'bathroom traffic jammed' happen, I always be the first who go there early in the morning except on the weekends.

15 minutes passed, I already get ready with school uniform and school bag.

"Sonny, don't be late. I'll wait for at breakfast table, okay".

"Okay, Nia. I will be there in a short while".

I went to dining room and saw my mother already finished prepared breakfast for all of us. A cup of hot coffee on her right hand and smile when she saw me coming.

"Good morning Nia. where is Sonny?"

"Morning mom. still get ready and she will be here in a short while"

"So how is your feeling?excited?Nervous? to meet your new friends at new school?"

" Honestly, I myself not sure mom. I'll tell you once I get home this afternoon, okay?"

"I can't wait. I want to know everything"

As she give me a wink. I love my mother. She is a great mother that I could asked for. She always be there for me when I needed her. Oh yeah, I almost forget my best friend, Christy. She were a year younger than me. We always together at school or after. Since I were in a new school, I am sure we are going to less meet.

"Nia, your school bus is already here". Her voice turned off my reverie. I smiling to her.

"Okay mom.See you later".

I arrived to school and go into my class with half of the student already in. However, the person who supposed to sit with me not in yet. I still not sure whether I will get a girl or a boy partner.

A few minutes later a petite girl coming towards me with a sweet smile on her face.

"Good morning. My name is Molly and I am your partner for the entire year".

"Hi Molly.I'm Sonia but you can call me Nia. Nice to meet you"

She keep smiling and give me a friendly hug before sitting. Deep down in my heart feel grateful after knowing my partner is a girl. In my opinion that time, sitting with a girl less complicated than a boy.

The whole day goes by slowly. The class teacher only give time table for all of the subjects and asked everyone to get to know each other since today is a first day schooling. I start to memorise some of their names and characters. I only hope to survive the whole 3 years with them all. I only hope.

Around 1330 I arrived home and my mother rushed towards me to find out if I was fine. I just gave a weak smile and started talking about what had happened since I got to school until the end of school.

"So how's school today? There must be a lot of students right? Have you found your new friend who could potentially be your best friend? How's the boy in your class? Someone had interests in you?" She thrown alot of questions until I did not know which question to answer first. "Mother, one question after another, okay? I do not know which one to answer". I laughed at my mother's behavior. However I know what questions she asked me just now and answered them one by one. My best friend Christy came home around 4 in the evening. She also thrown me a lot of questions just like my mother did.

"How is your new school?Is there any handsome guy interested in you?"

"school is okay I guess. I have a girl partner named Molly and she will be the with me the entire 3 years. Handsome boy? No. I don't realized if there is a handsome boy because I was busy with other things".

"Of course you are not aware because you are not sensitive". I just laughed at her comments. She is quite famous for her cuteness. while I am neither beautiful nor ugly. Maybe I'm in the sweet category? But my best friend says I'm beautiful and attractive. I think she just wants to makes me happy and I just let it be. We chatted until she finally returned home a few hours later.
