When I first got to the school I took my younger brother, upstairs for his classes, everything was fine then and I wasnt worried. I then got downstairs where the only thing I could do was aimlessly wander around while everyone got into groups, I couldve just stood at my locker but I didnt want people to think I didnt know anyone. 

I then found my mom's best friends daughter, who I'm just going to call J. J was with her friend and well her friend wasnt to friendly and I soon lost them in a crowd. From there I went to my locker, on the way there I ran into an old friend from elementary school. She stopped me, said hi and made sure I knew where I was going before going her own way. From there I put some stuff that I didnt want to carry in my bag all day into my locker before going to my first class (world history).

This is where things got bad,  I walked into an almost full room where I didnt know one person. My excitment faded and I instantly started wondering if I had made a huge mistake by not going to the same highschool as all of my friends. I sat near the front of the room where no one was, Unfortuanley a group of obnioxs boys soon filled those seats and I found myself stuck. The rest of that class went by okay, I was able to hold myself togther.

Then I had gym class, which turned out to be okay because I had the class with J. I was able to stick with her, that was until the gym teacher made us go in alphabetacal order, putting her with the W's and me with the D's.  There was a girl in line next to me that was complaing about the line and I couldnt help but agree with her. During the time we had to stay in the line, We talked and I found out that she was easy to talk to. The tightness in my chest started to loosen and then when we were released from the line I saw this girl that I knew from elementary school. I talked to her and made sure it was her before sitting down and catching up with her. The tightness in my chest was completely gone by the time that the bell rang. 

I then went to Biology, where we had assigned seats which made things easier, in a class with assigned seats you dont have to worry about sitting alone, which since I didnt know anyone I would've been doing alot of sitting alone . The class was going smooth and we were soon sent into the lab room to play a little name game. We had to line up by our birthdays and I found out that I was the first one in that class to have a birthday (which is on september 14th- only 8 more days). From the birthday line, we were numbered off and put into groups of four. In the group we had to interview the person sitting next to us. We then had to read the interview outloud in front of the whole class, Which is not my strong suit. I quickly read offf what he had told him about himself before slumping down in my seat and hoping that no one was looking at me. When we were done we were sent back to our desks where we sat until the bell rang.

After that I had lunch. I went towards my locker, on the way there I ran into N, a boy that was sorta my boyfriend in the fifth grade, As I passed him in the hall he stepped infront of me, blocking my way for a moment before giving me a big smile and walking away. That instantly made me smile, I guess I forgot how easy it was for him to make me feel better. After that I went to my locker, pushing my bag in, I head off to lunch. We had an open campus and I hadnt been feeling well so I didnt plan on eating. I walked around for alittle bit for running into my brother who was heading upstairs since his lunch hour was just ending. I made sure he was okay and when he told me he was having a great day I was completley relaxed, sure I was walking around alone but I had met some new people and my brother who had been terrribly bullied at his last school was okay. I went outside, sitting down on a ledge I quickly texted some of my friends, telling them that my first day was going okay. I went back inside where I ran into the girl from gym class. We walked around togther and caught up some more. My lunch hour was good after that, I even ran into N a few times during it.

I then had algebra and there isnt much to  say about, the girl from gym was in the class and we had assignseats. We ended up with a homework assignment which made me begin to dislike the teacher. 

After that I went to health class. I sat near the back, because once again I didnt know anyone. The teacher quickly talked and then made us play a name game where we sat alphabetical on each side of room, the game went quickly and then she allowed us to sit anywhere so we could do a brain teaser game by ourselces or with a partner. I deciedced to do it by myself but a few minutes later a two guys started whispering my name. I turned to see two very cute boys sitting behind me stating. One had black hair and snakebites (Justin) and the other had brown hair and very dark brown eyes (Andrew). They asked me what school I was from and then asked me if I wanted to sit with them. Like the shy girl I am, I blushed and told them I was good. They laughed and smiled before going back to what they were doing. I finished the brain teasers- but got them all wrong- and the class was soon over. 

I left the school for the day feeling pretty good about how things went and its just the beginging. If things go  the way they are or if things get better, It will be a pretty good year.
