The Best friend

Chapter 2: The beginning

As you open the door knob you can already hear the crowds of voices, music blasting, teachers talking about attendance and seat charts, and most of all laughter. As you walk through the front door you decide that you should go into the front office and get your schedule. Once you step in the office your nose is filled by the aroma of coffee and bad breath. You walk to the front counter and wait for one of the school staff to come. Suddenly, you hear footsteps coming from the back room and you see one of the staff. "Do you need anything?" The staff worker said in a dry voice as she walked in front of the counter.
"I need my schedule" you say in a low voice. "What's your name?" She said as she looked through the schedules. "Zack Murphy" you say looking back and forth in the office studying the room. "Ah Zack Murphy, here is your schedule" she said in dry voice. You gently take it from her hands and exit the office with the next thing being on your mind being trying to find your locker. You walk down the hallway filled with voices of laughter, yawning, and the sounds of lockers opening. As you try to find your locker you decide that maybe you should try to find your classes on the way. You take a look at your schedule that reads "Zack Murphy, grade 10, locker j130 and combination 3160". And you move your thumb to the bottom of your paper that reads "period 1: Language arts, period 2: Algebra, period 3: science, period 4: PE, period 5: social studies, period 6: french, and lastly period: art. You were happy you got art after the many times you picked it as an elective last year. You finally end up finding your locker and attempt to open it but it wouldn't budge. You try to put the combination in again but it still doesn't work. You were too shy to ask the teachers and to ask a fellow student to help you. As you struggle to open your locker a teacher comes over to you. "Do you need any help?" She said with concern. You nodded your head and gave her your combination as she asked. Once she opens it, you thank her and put your stuff in your locker and try to find your first class. The room number is 201 but all you see is 207 - 205. After a few minutes you basically walked past 7 classes ok your way and noticed you were the only one in the hallway. You look around to see door closing and the teachers in the hallways giving reminders not to be tardy. you end up going to the other end of the hallway and believe it or not you see 201 at the end. As you walk to your first class you take a deep breath and turn the door knob.
