Material Girl: As we drove out of Maryland, I thought about what Sierra had said "Elle, you are so lucky, fresh start you wont know anyone they wont know you and most of all no more Maryse,"
I was quite lucky, no more preppy cheerleaders,no more old Elle. I was going to start fresh, new school, new house,new life. My father had gotten a promotion as a surgeon in a new hospital he now could work at home or at the hospital, my mother was furious at first but when my dad told her she could have a huge swimming pool, she leaped out of her seat and did a victory dance. My mom is more of a teenager than I am, she is always like " Ah loosen up Elle." She influences me to wear more make-up and dress like a tart! Even though I never attract and boys...except for Jones, wer dated for one day and when he brought me home to meet his parents they stared at me like I was a statue. The next day he told me he was moving..no surprise there. I was known as the school geek thanks to Maryse,(the head cheearleader at my old school)she was a living nightmare. She told everyone I had a guys part and planted a stinkbomb in my bag, so for the full week I reeked of skunk fart. We pulled into our new driveway, I stared at the house it was massive and vintage looking, just the way I liked it. I stepped out of the car and grabbed my luggage from the boot, the rest was coming later. My mom came up to me and placed a hand on my shoulder "Well Elle new start right?"
She strolled inside leaving me on the porch, I walked inside slowly watching my step. The inside was not to shabby but I wouldnt say I liked it much, mom and dad never understanded my style, so I wasnt really expecting much from my bedroom.
"Elle come upstairs and see your bedroom, ooooh your going to love it!" mom shouted from upstairs. Yes love it..as if, but without no delay I walked up the creaky stairs. The upstair was worster than the downstairs the walls were a limey puke colour and the carpet looked like it had been puked out by Elvis Presley. I walked into the room where I heard mom and dads voice, they were both showing off gleaming white teeth. I looked around my bedroom, it was the most repulsive thing I had ever seen, I wish they had let me design my own bedroom. All over my room was Disney characters and stars, Im not 10 anymore! Mom and dad saw the look on my face and looked disconsolate.
"Er..the room its nice..but in future I would like to design my own room..it looks like a 10 year old designed it to be honest."
"Well okay..maybe we- I mean you could redesign this room then?" mom said with a smile
"sure and sorry if your upset but Im a teenager now its time you guys took me seriously."
"We`ll try..anyways school starts tomorrow your uniform is in the closet, Ironed and crease free."
Tomorrow I was to start at a new school "Serenity High," Later that evening I sat at my computer, it was the stupid slow ones so it took quite a while to startup.I went on Google and searched "Serenity High" I clicked on the first one. It was a fan page for the school, there was pictures, lots and lots of pictures. The school was divided into groups, Jocks,cheerleaders,ricans,emos,goths and the loners.(great I would fit in the last one.) The school seemed repulsive already, it was like an apartheid between students of the popular and not. I felt really hot and sweaty after reading all this, there was a club on facebook called "We Hate Lilac Monroe", turns out Lilac is the head cheerleader and is a right bitch. Well thats someone I wont go near, I was glad we had uniforms that way the girls couldnt dress all tarty. I had a cold shower and put on my oldest football jersey, my ideal Pjs. Its quite hard for me to sleep because I suffer from Insomia so I leave the television and the radio on at night,I have pills and everything but nothing seems to work. I started counting cows because sheeps were so yesterday, before I knew it I was snoring like my father.
