Sweet Sixteen! Enter HighSchool!

It was finally time, yes, that time! All of my hard work through the struggling years is now in full payment mode! I,Janielle, have created my self portrait! All that healthy eating, excise, and most of all self- discipline! A positive mind-set can achieve all. That and I transferred schools when that all went down, so this is new me, back were I will run into old classmates. Today my make-up is flawless, light and youthful, hair slightly curled pulled back into a half loose ponytail, and the piece of resistance...a fuchsia rose hair clip. It was strange, it was found in my desk the day after that event, before i transferred schools. Its been my lucky charm of sorts.

"Let's see, my book bag check. School uniform ironed and wrinkle free check...hmm..."

It had felt like I was most certainly missing an important item! Frantically searching everywhere my eyes catch the key item, ding ding, DUH ! My I.D. card for school! Can't enter without it! Gosh Janielle GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER! Taking a calming deep breath. Almost wanting to slap my cheeks upon my face but stopped myself to prevent a make-up malfunction.

Naturally heels were forbidden in the school system so what was a short girl like myself to do? Have to wear those darn plain janes again! So fashionable; NOT! I shall make do with what I am given, I suppose. Deep Breath in, feet in shoes, sweaty palms, check. Why was I nervous? Is it the chance to gain a new first impression on the ones that shattered my soul seven years ago? It should not matter to me, however; it does.

"Shake it off! Are you mouse or woman?!" A so called prep talk was in order! I shall not beat around the brush longer! Onward always...that should be my new inspirational phase.

Tap tap on my shoe, for luck. Reaching out my hand to open the off-white door blocking my view to the world. However, reality tends to bite us in the you know where department. What was promised was not displayed. Promise of a warm bless morning was comforted by gloomy greys, a chilly blue feeling, and the scent of rain drifting in the wind. "What the hell is this crap? " Clearly I decorated myself for a sunshine day not a glorified funeral! Grabbing a black jacket from the closet near by the door, and hoping it wouldn't drain my vibe. The uniform already was kind of...how you say...a bottle of wine? Chuckling at the though as my outfit was full of burgundy.

Deciding I didn't need an umbrella, I was off to the first day of the rest of my life...so far. Living close to this school allowed easy transportation, a good walking warm up for the day. Noticing other students with the same uniform was comforting, but, why did every single person have an umbrella, it wasn't even raining! Ignoring the signs, I decide to keep traveling along till I feel a few gentle tap tap tap on my head. Dear heaven, don't tell me?! Yep. Son of a gun! Using my book bag a potential shield as I push my legs as fast as possible to the nearest covered shelter.

"Is this some kind of cruel joke, because it isn't funny at all!" Not sure you I was yelling at, but it felt good to shout out! Reaching a small leverage hangover by a convenient store, should help as I wait for the rain to pass. Moments later what happens, I sneeze! Bless you me! Great, sniffling nose and my make-up is half ruined. Looking up to the sky, as it shouted back...jumping me a bit. I hate thunder!
