Officially in Grade 2.

So Katelyn had been absent for the first day of school.

She, again, was awaken by Belle at around 10:30am. Seeing the sun's rays hurt Katelyn's eyes.

She jumped off her bed and went downstairs. Directly to the dining table. She ate her breakfast and went back to her room. Then to the Bathroom. She wore Hillsdale's elementary uniform. Dried her hair and tied it.

Katelyn's grandfather decided to assign her a new bus. Luckily the bus Katelyn saw the day before was the one.

She sat on their couch and watched the television as usual. Went to MTV's channel and check for new songs. She tried to be updated with new songs all the time. Katelyn while waiting for her new bus remained sitting and listened to the songs. Singing along from time to time.

Her new school bus just came. Honked in front of her house and Belle dragged her pink stroller bag to the bus conductor. Katelyn climbed inside the school bus and stayed at the far end. Just behind the driver. Their driver's name was Ben. "Hi Katelyn." he greeted the kid. "Hello." Katelyn answered though she just wanted to be silent. It felt awkward staying in a place full of strangers. "You have the same section as Sarah Trestle." "Okay." was all that Katelyn answered but she wondered "Who's this Sarah Trestle I'm gonna be classmates with? and. busmates too." She continued wondering that as she stared out the window.

The school bus stopped in front of a house with bluegreen gates and honked. A girl with really pale skin and long hair walked towards the school bus. She looked kind and sociable.

Last stop. In front of a house with a white gate. Out came a girl, skinny. Her hair was brown and she had beautiful curls. Katelyn loved that part of the girl. A boy walked behind the girl. Probably her brother. They both entered the school bus.

Ben then drove to Hillsdale. Katelyn walked her way to her section. Together with Sarah Trestle. They formally introduced themselves to each other. Katelyn said hi to the girl with curly hair. She also told the girl her name. "Hello. I'm Halley. Halley Brandon."

Halley seperated ways from Katelyn and Sarah. She had a different section.

Upon entering the classroom. Katelyn was glad not to see Avalon Greene from her new set of classmates.

Their lady walked into the classroom. Sarah told Katelyn that their adviser's name was Ms. Angelica Pardee.

Lucky for Katelyn, she didn't miss a lot of things from that one day of being absent.
