On The Line

Mr. Matthews Secondary Highschool

I saw my school entrance, I gaze up and look my surroundings they are alot of students coming, the entrance of the school is almost crowded, and on top of that it says "Mr. Matthews Secondary Highschool"I slowly walked in, and as I enter a lot of students are also coming in, when I was inside they were alot of students that I do not know or I have seen before.

I saw the main office and my guidance counsellor saw me, they were a girl. I already knew her name but she introduced herself "I'm Diana" I introduced myself back as well "I'm Dwayne" I said in a shy way. "Wait here I have something to do" She said in a quick voice, so I just sat in one of the chairs that was beside me.

I looked my surroundings and many students were coming in the office to borrow laptops, and students who is talking with each other.

I'm new to the school, and being a new student is one of my biggest nightmares, because back when I was in my old school I was a talkative person, I had a lot of friends, obviously, I wouldn't call them friends just because I talk to them everyday.

Thinking about this makes me feel sad cause I miss my best friend, and I wonder how is he doing right now for second semester.

Eventually, Diana came to me and told me that I should follow her.

Diana asks me that how Is it being a new student? I don't wanna answer that but it would be rude so I just said "Scary" after that Diana was guiding me to every subject I had in my timetable, and while she was walking me in one of my classroom I don't see many latinos.

Of course the school Is full of white people and that made me stand out, I'm getting anxious, and at the same time scared.

"Alright and finally that Is your locker" Diana said.

"Thank you" I responded.

"Let me know if you have many question"

"I don't have, thank you" I answered.

"Alright! Goodluck and you can go to your first class" she left and then I started walking to my first class.

While walking in the hallway the students are getting lesser and the thing that comes into my mind was to get to class since I knew I'm going to be late.

I saw the door 117, It was my first period class. For my first period I have English, I approach the door and when I opened it, I saw different kinds of people and they were looking at me.

I quickly sat in one of the chairs that was near to me, and the teacher asks me "What's your name?" I answered "Dwayne" softly, and also apparently english is not my first language but i know how to speak english, but I'm not good at it.

"Nice to meet you Dwayne, are you new here?"

I said yes, then they quickly looked at their surroundings "Well then I think everyone is finally here"

"I'm Ms. Fatima" she said it so flourishly.

"How about we do a quicky introduction"

An Introduction... My biggest fear to be honest, but I don't mind, I mean not everyone cares about your name, and also I wanna go home already. I wish I didn't need to transfer school, I was overthinking at the same time that I don't know what the teacher was saying.

"Dwayne please Introduce yourself into the class" Ms. Fatima said, I quickly stood up and Introduce myself in a calm way, "I'm Dwayne Francis, nice to meet you people" then I turn up to the people that was around me and I smiled.

*****

It was period 2 particularly, it was mathematics and I could say that I'm decent when it comes to math and science.

I found my room 210, people were also coming in to that room so I didn't waste my time walking towards the door and enter, in this time I was only thinking about going home and practice for hockey.

I could say that I love the sport, I love being on ice, besides hockey I also play basketball, tennis, american football, and this year I really wanted to learn soccer, also I couldn't say that i'm good at these sports certainly, I only play them cause they are fun.

But I will never forget to study hard.

immediately the bell rang, and then I sat one of the chairs infront, and they were 2 girls beside me and soon the teacher gave us a worksheet, then one of the girls gave me the handout, she was nice I could say.

Soon the teacher was introducing themself to us "I'm Mrs. Antoinette Comb, I'm going to teach you math, and I don't care if you don't wanna listen because it's your choice whether you should pass or not" Mrs. Antoinette said that in a scary way. Futhermore, I couldn't care less because I'm sure I will not fail this course.

after a few hours, the bell rang. I quickly stood up and left the room, as I was walking towards the halls and to my next class there are a lot of people were also walking, It was almost crowded but luckily I was in to my next class, and it's science.

Science is fun, but again the teacher Introduced themself.

"I'm Ms. K, just call me that" She said.

I all my classmate were only on their phone and so I also did that, thinking that I will not make friends cause I'm to scared to talk with them, but I don't care.

Being alone Is a choice, but I never think that I was lonely.

And all I could think this time was hockey practice, I can't wait to go home and practice hockey.

Then it was finally Period 4, which Is my lunch time. I was thinking of going to cafeteria but I have no one, so I just went home because my house Isn't that far to my school definitely, I could go home anytime.

I wish my friends were here to eat with me during lunch, I think grade 10 is going to be a hell for me, but either way I'll just focus this year, I'm in the school to study not to make friends, but high school is fun with friends.

I don't care, anyways. Infact I would be rather alone in life because imagine someone limiting you from doing the things you like, I really want to achieve things in life.

In order to do that I need to focus, and someday I know God is going to give me someone that I will hang out everyday, a true friend.

It's not I'm saying that my best friend back In my old school wasn't my true friend, I guess they're just a history and I can accept that, he has his own life.

Going back I was finally at home, ready to eat my lunch and possibly rest cause It's so tiring listening for some reason.

The school is fine, my classes is fine, and my next subject after lunch is another english, hopefully I wont sleep in that class.

I checked the time and I saw that It was already 1:25 PM, I only had 5 minutes to get to class, I was running to get my bag at my room and I dashed to get out of the house, but I didn't run to my school cause I would be sweating, so I just walked in a quick paced.

-------------------------------

Just a quick Introduction about Dwayne and his life.
