The next day, Leigh-Anne woke up bright and early for school and was ready to go meet Jesy and all of her new friends there.
"And we are here." Sairah said as she slowed down in front of her sister's school. She looked at the girl through the rear-view mirror with a smirk. "Want me to walk you in or are you good?"
Leigh unbuckled her seat belt with her habit in progress. She then shook her head and then opened up the door.
Sairah giggled. "Well alright."
Leigh-Anne started running off but she stopped and came to the window where her sister was to kiss her and say goodbye.
"Bye-bye baby. Have a good day." Her sister said after kissing her cheek.
Leigh nodded and then ran after that.
"Be careful! Walk! Lee-Lee walk!" Sairah refused to drive off until she saw her sister walking.
But Leigh never listened. She ran into the school, eager to see Jesy while ignoring the world around her. She had sent Jesy a good morning message with bunnies holding hearts in it but Jesy had not responded so she had thought that Jesy had been busy getting ready. So that must have meant that Jesy was at school now.
Leigh ran past her class by accident and ended up way down the hall. She stopped when she realized and then looked around. The school was still very new to her so she tended to have trouble finding certain things.
She turned around with curled fingers to her chin in frightful thought of where her class was and ended up spotting some kids at some lockers giggling at her.
The girl stared at them for some time and then adjusted her backpack on her back to walk back to where she started so she could find her class easily.
"Psst!" A loud noise sounded.
The new girl rung her ear and then looked back to where those kids were.
One girl pointed at a classroom while they giggled.
Bucket looked where she pointed and realized that it was her class. She started moving towards it but she remembered something. She went to the kids. "Thank you." She said barely making eye contact.
"You're welcome." They giggled at her again.
Bucket had her hat in hand which she had been wearing as she ran to come inside of here. She held it along with the straps of her backpack as she came into her new classroom again.
There were a lot of kids gathered around and talking before the day started.
She stood and stared out, feeling very afraid and alone without her mum or Jesy to escort her in.
Suddenly, all eyes went to her and she felt even stranger.
The girl stared a little before looking to her feet and coming in. She tried to find Ray Ray and Namjoon as familiar faces so she could remember where she had been sitting but it just flew out of her mind since they were not there.
Now she felt frustrated. Most of this was happening because of nerves she supposed. She didn't like new places at all, especially when there was no familiarity around her.
"Right there Leigh-Anne." Someone said.
She looked up and saw that girl called . . . Ally. She was the one who told her to be a cheerleader. Ally wasn't so scary. Ally was sitting down around the middle of the class and pointing towards the front with a smile on her face. She had friends around her who were smiling and giggling.
Leigh remembered her seat now. "Thank you." She sat at it and started putting her hat inside of her bag. After that she pulled out a volume from her encyclopaedia to read and then closed her bag shut. The girl then took her toy out of her pocket to hold while she sucked her tongue comfortably and read her beloved book. This one was specifically about the animals of the ocean.
