Northridge High School: A Short Story

Improved Essays
I sit in my bed waiting to get ready for school, thinking about the day ahead of me. Looking at the clouds as I meditate, I feel the positive vibes in my head. I think about the people I’m going to see and the topics the teachers will talk about in class. Attending Northridge High School, just outside of HollyWood, California, is quite average. Lost in my daydreams, I realize the bus will be here any minute. Ah well, here’s to the start of a new week.
Arriving at school, you’ll see the popular girls standing right at the entrance as always, and the jocks at their yellow and red sports cars. I try to look for my friends as I approach the doors, but can’t seem to find them. Barely stepping into the building, I can already smell the girls perfume.

Temperatures reaching 80-90 degrees, people walking around with nearly nothing on, men with shorts and underwear and girls with bikinis. As I’m walking through the hallway I see mixed emotions, people who are crying, who don’t want to leave their friends then there’s people who just run out the door with excitement and don’t bother to look back to say goodbye.

    I wake up at 6 in the morning, walk by my kitchen refusing to eat breakfast at 6:10, and pack my duffle bag by 6:35. After brushing my teeth at 6:50, I leave for school at 7 with my brother and my father. Classes begin at 7:35am and end at 2:12pm.
