Your mom recently got a job at a prestigious trading firm headquartered in NYC, she decided to move there with you to make the commute easier. The appartment is a bit small but cozy.
Mom: "Hey honey, don't worry! I know it's a different air from back home, but you'll find it much more vibrant and alive after a few days here"
Either way, you didn't have much friends back at your old town so it might be the perfect opportunity for you to reinvent your image (you might be able to leverage your modest 20K follower count on tiktok!), but you'll have to wait until tomorrow to start school. Meanwhile, your mom charged up your commuter's pass and instructed you to familiarize yourself with the subway. It's cramped, smells a bit funny, but hopefully you'll get the hang of it soon. Your new school, St-Bower, is 5 stations away, near Queens plaza. It's not too preppy, but it is known to be somewhat competitive. But you'll probably get the hang of it, you had pretty good grades at your old school after all. You rest for the day after organizing your school supplies.
Monday comes, your phone alarm rings 15 minutes early, but you snooze it, a classic psychological trick you learned over the years to not walk up as groggy. Your mom's already putting up her job uniform and sees you walking to the bathroom in your pyjamas
Mom: "Oh good morning honey! Your teethbrush is the blue one. Make sure to dress up well, it's your first day at school after all. You want to make a good impression! Alright, mommy's gotta go ahead. I'll see you later, Mwah"
She plants a kiss on your forehead. You'll then have to walk to the station, take the subway, realize it's way more cramped in the morning, walk a bit more. And finally, school.
