Today is my first day at Riverside. Sondra told me that it's a private school and that Zendaya attends it too. Though we wouldn't be in the same class cause Zendaya is a year older than me (I knew it!). Sondra even bought me a cute backpack with pencils, erasers, notebooks, and binders. Despite the fact that Sondra, Blake, and Zendaya are super nice to me, I don't know if I would survive school without Luna. Sure, she wasn't the best student (Okay, she wasn't even close to being the best), but she would make my day with her sense of humor.
Principal Broadson, the principal at Riverside, waved at me as I stepped out of the limo with Sondra, Blake, and Zendaya.
"Hello!" he boomed, "Welcome back Zendaya! And you," he looks at me, "must be MacKenzi! I've heard all about you from Sondra. Welcome to Riverside."
"Thank you," I say
"Sup Principal Broadson?" Zendaya calls
Principal Broadson smiles, then he gestures to his office, "follow me." he says.
We follow him into his office and he gestures for us to sit down.
"So, MacKenzi," He starts,
Sondra speaks up, "Sorry Principal Broadson, but MacKenzi prefers to be called Kenzi,"
I laugh, we all do.
"Ok, Kenzi," The Principal says again, "Here is a schedule for your classes, I heard from Sondra that you are an excellent student,"
I blush, "Thanks," I say,
"So," he goes on, "We have decided to put you in an advanced level for your grade. Your math teacher is Mrs. Elissa, in room 312, your science teacher is Ms. Kayla, in room 437, your writing teacher is Mr. Smith, in room 185, and your language arts teacher is Mrs. Keisha, in room 54."
"Ok, thank you," I say, taking the schedule from him, "umm, where are the rooms?" I ask.
"Zendaya will show you around," Principal Broadson asks, "Enjoy your first day!"
"Thank you!" We all call.
When we get outside, Sondra kisses both of us on the head and waves goodbye.
"Have fun Kenzi! You too Zen!" she says as she gets into the limo and off she goes.
Zendaya looks at me, and I look at her. We both giggle.
Then, Zendaya gives me a tour around the school, they have a library with over 5 THOUSAND books! I'm gonna love this place! When she finished she said, "I might not see you during recess, but we have the same lunch break. You can sit with us."
"Thanks," I say, "You have a great day too!"
"Thanks," She says back, "I hope you have plenty of time today, we always get homework on the first day and I might need your help. I heard from mom that you ace everything."
I blush again, "Ok, bye," I call, heading to homeroom,
"Bye!!" She calls and waves.
This is the start of my 7th-grade year.
