It was the first day of school and I still remember that day like it was yesterday. Just like every other kid in my school I was scared. It all seemed so weird to me. I was walking down the road with my mom and straight ahead was the school, It was already in view. I felt happy and nervous at the same time, but yet I wanted everything to go so perfectly because I knew the first day of school is the most important, that's where all the kids are going to have the first impression about you. Like if you are a loser a winner or the Queen bee. That's why the previous day before school I went shopping with my mom and I picked out a dress which reached a tiny bit below my knees it had a floral pattern with pink lace and short sleevs.
I was more than satisfied wearing that dress I had my brunette hair in pigtails and I was wearing matching pink shoes. I felt confident and I was positive that people will like me and will feel like they want to be friends with me. But little did I know that I was wrong.
My mom stopped near the school gate. In my view i could see a beautifully whitewashed building atleast five storey's high. It had a playground and a tiny pond along with green grass on the sides of the pathway to the school. My mom looked at me and told "Rosa sweetie I have to go now but remember today is your first day so don't be scared, try and make some friends alright?" And she gave me a quick kiss on my forehead and watched me walk through the school gate towards the school.
I walked the pathway to the school, as I entered the building I turned back to see my mom watching me from the gate, I waved at her and kept on walking. I entered the classroom and I saw all the kids were sitting in their seats and some had already found new friends. I felt nervous. I walked towards the seat in the 3rd column 4th row. I sat there and waited. next to me was a pretty blonde girl she had brown eyes and was wearing a yellow dress and had her beautiful hair down. After a few minutes the class was almost packed, everyone was in their seats.
The school bell rang to start the lessons and a teacher walked into the class, she was tall with kind blue eyes and blonde curls. She was wearing a blue blouse and a tight skirt. Everyone was silent so she spoke first saying "okay children my name is Ms. Liana and I want you all to introduce yourselves." So she pointed at some and asked them to introduce themselves. The girl next to me was Lauren, she said she lived few blocks away from the school and loved the colour green and also her mom was a doctor and her dad was a investor. And they owned two cars and two houses. One house was for them to spend during the holidays which was in california.
After Lauren's introduction about her self I felt a bit demotivated because she seemed rich and happy with respectable parents. Not only Lauren most of the kids in my class were extremely rich. Some even had parents who owned their own yachts.
Ms. Liana clasped her hands and looked at the class, her eyes came in contact with my eyes. I quickly looked away because the last thing I wanted to do was stand up and tell a introduction about myself to the entire class. As I looked away she pointed at me and told "okay, why don't you introduce yourself." I got butterflies in my stomach and my mind went completely blank and my mouth went dry. I slowly looked up at her and the entire class which was now staring at me. I slowly stood up and said "my name is Rosa. My favourite colour is pink." after that I did not know what to say, my mind was blank. I started stuttering so Ms. Liana asked me "so Rosa tell me what does your parents do?" I didn't say anything. Instead I could feel my legs going weak, my stomach was doing flips and my throat felt like something was stuck in it and finally my eyes started tearing.
