Oakwood High School Narrative

Improved Essays
“Mom can you drive me in five minutes, I'm going to be late,” it was the first day at my new school, Oakwood High.

Again.
“Ya sure, I’ll be in the car. Don’t leave me waiting more than five minutes or I’ll be leaving without you.”
“I won’t, thank you,” What to wear, what to wear? The first day of school is crucial if you want to fit in. I’ve always had a hard time fitting in at my old schools. Having long brown hair and bright blue eyes, compared to short blonde girls didn’t help with that, but I guess being five foot nine didn’t either.
