Friday Aug 15, - Kindergarten

Cassandra woke on an early Monday morning. She thought to herself, "Oh, I might try and watch the 10 o' clock cartoons today", but today was not going to be that kind of day. About a split second after she finished wiping her eyes from sleep, "CASSANDRA SCHOOL." School? Oh, yeah today was the first day of kindergarten. "Coming", she called. She proceeded to grab her uniform from her dresser, a long dress with dress shoes. "Oh, my hair wow." Cassandra grabbed the brush and proceeded to brush the knots out of her hair, but it just didn't look right. "Forget it, I'll just tie it." She grabbed a bow that complimented the dress' colors. The door creaked open, "Hon, you look nice today" her dad told her sleepily. She simply nodded. "Alright, well we need to get a move on, don't want to be late on your first day you know."

The ride to school was much different. The nervousness has set in with thoughts creeping to her head.

"What if they don't like how I look."

"What will I do if I get lost.."

"Cassandra we're here" her dad broke her out of her thoughts. She stepped out of the car nervously while adjusting her bow. "Relax, you look fine" she told herself. "I'll pick you up at three okay?" her dad said calmly. Nodding, she walked towards the steps and waved goodbye to her dad. The school did look worse than it actually was, but that thought didn't relax her. Instead, it excited her. That excitement only amplified, but not in a good way, when the bell rang and a mob of students rushed past her through the doors. "Sweetie, you need to get to class" an older lady quietly said. "But I don't.. It's my first day.." she said shakily. The lady waved her hand in a "come here" motion and Cassandra did as she was told and followed the gray haired lady to her first class.
