First Day at School
I didn't want to go, but I knew I had to. I couldn't stay in the past and I knew I had to move on towards the future. As soon as I got there I wanted to leave. I didn't belong and there was nowhere for me to go. I had to move forward and there was no turning back. I slowly lifted my head and looked straight ahead, taking my view away from the ground. As I took in a deep breath, I walked onto the campus. As soon as I looked up I saw many, many faces and I didn't recognize one of them. I was totally lost, in my own thoughts and on where I was. The campus looked huge and was so different then my old school. All I wanted was to go back to Red Bank and see all my old friends. However, I knew that wouldn't happen so I waited with my mother and sister for the first bell to ring. I quickly looked for my classroom, going down one corridor after the other. It didn't take to long since my classroom number was 13 and the rooms were in numerical order. I gave my mom and sister a hug good-
My mom just laughed and nudged me into my class. My worries slowly went away and I started to get use to my new school. She told me about herself and I did the same. She introduced herself, told us why she taught the fifth grade, and then a few people asked her some questions. Since everyone was seated in groups, I scanned the classroom looking for a seat. The whole time I wasn't fully paying attention, I kept on repeating to myself, "Please don't make us go into pairs, please don't make us go into pairs. Then all of a sudden, a girl about my height with hazel eyes and freckles, dressed in a little red and white-checkered dress came up to me. So I went over and asked, "Is anyone sitting here?" and to my surprise she joking said, "Just my foot, but I think I can move it. I was so worried that I'd be left out and that there wouldn't be anyone who would want to be my partner. I still needed a seat so I decided to go and ask if, maybe, someone was already sitting there. " I was so relived that she wasn't as mean as she looked. She introduced herself as Sheena and she was shocked that I could even say her name. McOwen, started to talk and class was quiet, except for a few whispers here and there. I started to feel sick, at my old school I knew everybody! I wanted to cry, but I held it in knowing that I didn't want to look like a big baby on the first day of school.
