Tracy stood in the bathroom staring at herself in the mirror. It was another year at Heathglen and she was thinking about all the things that could possible go wrong. Last year she was pushed around and put under a lot of pressure. She didn't want to go through that again. She hated the gossip and drama. Running her hand through her hair she left the bathroom with a towel wrapped around herself. Her mother was waiting for her so that she could be dropped off at school. Standing before her closet she picked out the usual outfit and then walked back into the bathroom.
She brushed out the knots in her hair and then tied it up into a ponytail. One last look in the mirror she put chapstick on her lips and then walked back out to her bedroom. She grabbed all her bags and walked down the stairs and got into the car. She checked her iPhone for emails from her brother. There were none. She put in her headphones and got into the front seat. It was a long car ride and she didn't want to be awake during it.
"Tracy wake up," Tracy heard. Her music had automatically turned off when she fell asleep and she could hear everything going one around her. Lifting her head off the window she looked around at the school that would be her home until the next break. Tracy turned and hugged her mother goodbye. "Bye mom," she said getting out the car with all her bags. Her mother pulled away and Tracy made her way to her room.
She claimed the bottom bunk and she started unpacking clothes. Only half of the room was hers so she made sure to make sure space was left for her roomie. When she was done she reapplied her chapstick and she checked her phone again. Nothing. She left the room and walked down to the cafeteria. She was starving and the cafe was still serving food.
She grabbed a bagel, coffee, and a banana. She sat at a table near a girl that seemed familiar. With a closer look she saw that it was Sara. She looked good, but Tracy kept that to herself. She didn't want to seem creepy. She bit into her bagel and sipped her coffee slowly wanting the day to go by faster.
