The First Day

It's the first day at anew school yet again for 14 year old Riley and she was tired of being known as the new kid at school. Even though she has been to dozens of different schools she still gets nervous on the first day. Since she was 4 years old when she entered the foster system and every few months sometimes even less than that she would be placed in a new home and a new school. She finally arrives at her new school Anchor Beach Charter School and before she gets out of the car her foster dad reminds her how it is important that she makes a good impression and how she better do good in school. He also tells her that she has to stop in the Vice Principal's office to get her class schedule.

Riley's POV
"I make my way to the Vice Principals office to see a tall, tan, curly haired woman at her desk. I knock before I enter the office and the women got up and introduced herself as Ms. Lena Adams Foster and that I could have a seat. "So Riley after reviewing your academic record I have determined a class schedule and I have placed you in several honors advanced class which are English, History, Biology, and Algebra II. For the rest of your classes I put you in Spanish, Anatomy and Physiology, and Creative Writing. On top of those classes you have study hall and lunch do you think your going to be able to handle all of that? Do you want to change anything?" Lena said. "No, thank you that sounds good." I replied.
Lena said, "Okay how about I show you to your first class which is creative writing with Timothy who is a wonderful teacher.

Lena's POV
"As I lead Riley out of my office I realized I had a parent meeting in 5 minutes and Timothy's classroom is on the other side of the building. I look around the hall for anyone one of my kids when I noticed Callie and remembered her first class is with Timothy. "I yelled out, "Callie could you come here please!"

When Callie finally reached me I looked over at Riley and said "Riley, this is my daughter Callie who is also in Timothy's class this period and she is going to take you there because I have another meeting otherwise I would take you. Callie and you have a few things in common, after all it wasn't that long ago when it was her first day at Anchor Beach too."
"I then turned to Callie "Hey Callie do you mind taking her to class with you and showing her around today?" Callie replied "Yeah no problem. C'mon Riley we better get going or we are going to be late."
Riley's POV
"So what brings you to Anchor Beach?" Callie asked. Well I am in the Foster system and about a week ago I was placed in a new home and my foster parents decided I should go here." I answered looked at me, "My brother and I were in the Foster system too and then we were adopted by our Moms. So I know what it's liked to be in the system and to be the new kid.
I looked up at Callie, "It's cool that you have two Moms. So do you like it here?"
"Yeah, the teachers are good, the other kids can be a little judgmental at first, but it gets better. So this is Timothy's classroom. There is an empty seat next me you can sit next to me if you want?" Callie said.
I replied, "Yeah sounds great." And with that we headed into the classroom.
