Maya~

I , Maya , stood nervously in front of the grand entrance of Oakwood High School , clutching my transfer papers. Grade 10 was not the ideal time to switch schools , but circumstances had force me to leave my old life behind. My mom's new job as a nurse had brought us to this new town , and i was determined to make the most of it .

As i walked through the halls , i felt like and outsider . Everyone seem to know each other , and i was the odd one out. My heart raced with anxiety , but i took a deep breath and reminded myself why i had come here
-a fresh start

As i stood up to introduce myself , my heart raced with nervousness "Hi , my name is Maya , and I'm the new student in class ," i said ,trying to sound confident . The teacher, Mrs. Johnson smiled and told me to take a seat next to a boy named Jake . I felt my face flush as i made my way to my new seat , trying to avoid eye contact with my new classmate.

The rest of the day was blur , but i managed to bear sitting next to Jake , who seemed friendly enough . When the final bell rang , i breathe a sigh of relief and headed home .

As i opened the door to our apartment , i realized my mom was still at work . I was about to head to my room when the doorbell rang . I hesitated for a moment , wondering who could it be . I peered through the peephole and saw a tall , handsome young man with a warm smile . As i opened the door, "Hey , Maya!I'm Max, Mr.Thompson's son. I brought some welcomed - to - the - building cakes for you, " he said , holding up a box full of colourful pastries.

I was taken aback by his friendly demeanor and the thoughtful gesture . " Thanks, Max! That's really sweet of you , i replied , feeling a bit more at ease.

Max Thompson was a few years older than me , and i had seen him around the building with his family . His father, Mr Thompson , was a successful entrepreneur who own several businesses in town . Max had a reputation for being kind and helpful , and i was greatful for his friendly welcome.

 
I hope y'all enjoy it
