She was hopeful her Dad would be home to wish her good luck for her Junior year of high school, probably the biggest year considering it's the time you start picking out colleges, taking tests, and basically determining your future, but he was not home. He was out with his new wife, touring the world while she remained at home. With a short sigh, she got up and prepared for school. After getting ready and saying goodbye to everyone, she hopped into her car and made her way towards school. She turned the radio up and sang along to a few current hits (that Justin Bieber, such a douchebag, but his songs are so catchy!). She eventually arrived at school along with the multitude of others. She found her parking spot and got out of her car, just in time to hear some squeals of delight, "Winter! There you are! Oh my God you look so cute! I love your shoes, where'd you get them?" The array of questions came from a group of girls walking over to her, their heels clicking against the ground. Considering just last year the girl who complimented her shoes told her that those same shoes were for homeless people, she took the compliment with a grain of salt. Instead, she plastered on a fake smile and did her own small scream before running up to hug these girls she almost wanted nothing to do with. The fake-ness resumed before their attention was taken elsewhere. Winter looked and saw a new face getting out. He was an older man with a shaved head. He looked around and made his way inside. One of the girls started talking, again, "That must be the new teacher. God, isn't he kind of cute? I heard he has a wife though, but his marriage is on the rocks. Maybe I can help with that." The girl grinned wickedly as the others made simple-minded compliments about how she was already dating the Quarterback and how he was too old and too icky. Winter continued to stare at the man. Something about him gave her a small twinge in her stomach. It was the same twinge she felt when she looked at her class schedule and noticed she had a new class she never heard of. A new addition to the school that came with the new teacher. Social Conscience. [hr] The school had a mandatory assembly and she sat down with the same girls as before, but she looked around the auditorium for some more familiar faces. She caught a few glances and waved at the ones she actually liked before the assembly started. Principal Fitzgerald started his speech and she was about to play on her phone before he introduced the new teacher, Mr. Lehrer. The man seemed comfortable on stage, but during his speech, a few of her classmates made rude comments and started talking about other things, so Winter leaned in closer to hear what he was saying. She was especially hopeful he would go into more detail about this new class, but before she could get her wish, he ended his speech. She clapped along with the others before the assembly started with some horrible skit about safe sex. She would have to get her answers later, it seemed. [hr] "Oh mah God, is that Winter?" she heard called after her first few classes. Winter rolled her eyes before turning around to look at Trinity Sandwell. Her long, Auburn hair covered a pretty, newly tanned face over a body that had the latest fashion trends on it. Despite the girl's smile, she knew she was about to get a full burn and she needed to come back. This was a new year, she would be damned if this bitch was about to ruin it on the first day. "You look soooooo cute! I remember owning that same jacket last year, you know, back when it was in style. Oh, I'm kidding! You make it work! It didn't look so good on me, I was too skinny, but on you, it looks amazing!" It was almost impressive to see how one could be so mean and so nice in the same sentence, but Trinity mastered that to a fault. Winter gave her a small hug before pushing her off quickly, [color=CF748B]"Nice to see you too Trinity. Thank you for the compliment, but I wore this jacket because my dad gave it to me before school started. Obviously, I didn't want to overshadow you by wearing it better, but I mean some things just can't be helped. You look tanner, I guess all those hours in the tanning booth paid off!"[/color] she said with a small (i hope you get a skin disease) hidden underneath it. Trinity laughed and made some stupid comment about how she had to run off and Winter gave her the bird before she turned around and made her way to her new class. [hr] She entered the room with a few familiar and unfamiliar faces and Mr. Lehrer was at the front. After welcoming them, he posed the question written on the blackboard. [b]"Who Am I?"[/b] Winter took a seat a little bit towards the back before she looked around the room, hoping someone would answer so they can get to the reason why they were here.
