Today is my first day at a new school. The school  is very big . I didn't expect less from someone like miss haily tho. She is a woman of expensive taste and the school is giving very expensive vibes.

I walked inside the school gate and I could feel the urge to run away in me . But I can't let myself do it , it's a new start to life I can't leave it and run away. The only thoughts that have been going around my mind are "will they accept me like this ? Am i good enough? Are they gonna like me with my scar ? "
But currently while walking to the class i was trying my best to brush it off . I came across my  class " 103"  after a little search. I can feel some eyes on me from behind that's giving me chills. I ignored it and stood in front of the class and asked the teacher for permission to come in.
" May I come in teacher? " I said and immediately the whole class was looking at me with wide eyes .
" Yes sure come in ! You must be the new student right? " The lady teacher said with a big smile on her face.
" Yes i am . Nice to meet you " i also replied with a smile .
" Nice to meet you too ! You can call me miss jenise. Why don't you introduce yourself to the class? " She was looking at me waiting to respond and introduce myself. But with my high social anxiety it was tough but in a minute I finally introduced myself...
" Hello everyone! I'm the new transfer student. My name is Noah hayashi! Nice to meet you all "
I said looking at the whole class with all the courage inside me . I thought I was doing good but to my surprise someone from the class suddenly shouted "what is that ugly scar you have on your cheek?! Eww!"
I was still standing in utter shock trying to figure out how to answer. The teacher was about to say something but suddenly got interrupted by someone else.
" Shut up denise.. it's too early in the morning for me to hear your bullshit " someone said from the back of the class.
After hearing all these comments going around I finally said out of urgency "actually this scar is here because of an incident in my childhood and the scar won't go away...."
"Whatever that's still ugly tho hahahaha!" Said the same girl. But again the same person from behind said "I already said it's too early for your bullshit, also don't forget you are not so pretty yourself" .
The class fell into complete silence after that comment and no one said anything. Feeling the silence in the class the teacher asked me to take a seat and I got to an empty seat and sat down . My senses were telling me that this isn't gonna be a sweet journey here with that kind of start .

Finally the class ended and I was packing my bag to head to the next class but suddenly the guy from the back came and approached me. But he was talking in a different tone now and he sweetly asked me 
"Hi there I'm Chris! Nice to meet you! " He said that and put his hand forward for a handshake.
After a second, I snapped out of thinking and shook his hands. Surprisingly he again gave me a big shiny smile.
"Don't mind that girl denise . She is always shit talking everyone" he said with a smirking while side eyeing the girl named denise.
I gave him a smile. "I guess I will ignore her then , thank you for what you did this morning tho"
He smiled , "its fine. I got your back , hahaha . So friends now?"
"Yes sure..." He replied with a smile.
