First Day of School

"Get up!" shouted my mom."You have school!"

I felt very tired and wanted to sleep in, but my mom kept on waking me up. She shook the bed to stop me from falling asleep again. And then she took the blanket away and turned on the lights. Also, she tickled me. When she stopped, I took the blanket up to my bed.

"I don't want to go to school!" I groaned covering myself with the blanket. The reason that I didn't want to go to school was because I was very tired. I thought that even if I go to school, I would not pay attention to the teacher.

Meanwhile, my alarm went off. Then, my mom pulled me out of the bed.

"Go pack your stuff!" yelled my mom with an angry tone.

"Ok, fine!" I said pushing myself out of the bed.

I dragged my feet and walked with a lot of effort like a zombie. When I walked into the kitchen, I smelled eggs and bacon. I tried to stay awake and eat my delicious breakfast, but I was dozing off at the table. Then, my mom yanked me up to her car and said that I was already late for school. When I got into the car, I fell asleep immediately because I was too tired to stay awake. When my mom got me to my gigantic school which looked like a maze, she woke me up and gave me my schedule.

"Get up Julia!" shouted my mom.

"Ok!" I shouted back to her.

I got out of the car, and many students were talking like bees buzzing. The school was so big that it was like a factory, everything seemed so new and clean. The floor was as clear as glass. Also, there were massive classrooms in the building.

After looking at my schedule, I was concerned of my classes. I have no idea where my classroom was! After that, I started to panic. Therefore, I ran around the school with pressure because I was already late. As I was in a hurry, I bumped into a student.

"Sorry!" I said panting.

"It's ok!" She said.

"Do you know where room 321 is ?" I asked her.

"Sorry, I don't really know!" She said grabbing her books. "I have to go!" And then, she ran away.

At that moment, the bell had rang. Most of the students went into their classrooms while some of them were still making their way in.

As I ran through the hallway, those students were staring at me with curiosity because I was in a hurry.

"Why is she running through the hallway?" said one of the students to the other. "The bell already rang."

I thought that the students were laughing at me. Therefore, that made me even more anxious at that moment. I accidentally dropped some of my books. That's when those students started to laugh at me, so I covered my face and ran to the classroom closest to me.

When I went into the classroom, it turned out to be a wrong classroom because the teacher wrote "Welcome to Grade 1!" on the whiteboard. "But I am not in the 1st grade!" I thought to myself.

"Sorry! Wrong class" I said.

"I thought you look older than the 1st grade." the teacher said.

Everyone started to laugh at me, my face started to turn red and I could feel my heart beating like a rabbit jumping around. How embarrassing! I got out of the classroom and tried to calm myself down.

After I collected myself, I went to the office downstairs to ask a teacher where my classroom was.

"Your classroom is 321.... And it is at the third floor." He said to me with a smile on his face. He looks like a god to me, and giving my directions.

So far, he was the only one who treated me nicely.

"Ok! thanks" I said. The teacher explained to me where to find the classrooms for each of my classes. After that, I started to run to my first classroom. When I got to the classroom, it happen again! Everyone started to laugh at me because one of the classmate said:

"Look, she was the person who was fooling around the school earlier!" So, the classmates started to laugh at me. Meanwhile, Ms. Chen said

"Come on in, you know you're late right?" said Ms. Chen while writing the attendance on the paper. After that I sat down on the chair and started the class.

Frankly speaking, I don't think this experience was so good at all. I am glad that there was a nice teacher who explained where my classrooms were. Therefore, I think that next time I should look at my schedule before the first day of school, so I wouldn't be late for school again.
