"Olivia, come on sweetie, we're gonna be late." My mommy took my hand and led me towards the door. "Put your shoes on, good girl." She said and handed me the bag she packed for me.

We walked to the car and she began to drive, to some place I'd never seen before. "Your first day of proper school!" She cheered enthusiastically helping me out and leading me toward the strange building. "I don't wanna go."

She was talking to a woman I'd never seen before, the woman started trying to be friendly to me. But I didn't wanna go with her, I wanted to stay with my mommy.

"I'm Mrs. Beak." She introduced. "My name is Olivia." I said.

Then mommy let go and Mrs beak took my hand, "mommy." I cried, she waved goodbye and started walking back to the car. I followed mrs beak and she led me into the building. "Here's the classroom." She said letting go of my hand. "Go make some friends, Olivia."

I looked around at all the kids playing with each other. Instead of talking to anyone I sat down on one of the colorful chairs and sulked.

"Why are you sad?" A boy said walking over to me with a toy fire truck in his hand. "I miss my mommy." I said. "Do you want to come and play with me and my friends?"  He asked and I nodded running after him over to a small circle of people.

"That's Ian, he's my bestest friend." The boy said pointing the a boy with a funny hair cut dissecting a spider. "That's Mari and that's Josh." He pointed to a boy and a girl fighting.

"And I'm Anthony. Who are you?" He asked.
"I am Olivia." I smiled and he smiled back at me, he was missing two of his teeth.

We played and then Mrs Beak taught us what vowels were. A E I.... um... never mind.

Apparently now was recess, everyone ran outside so I followed them. I met another boy called Lewis, he tried to steal my toy and he pushed me to the ground. Anthony began to fight him and everyone started chanting that Anthony liked me, I didn't understand why he got so upset at this, I thought we were friends? Don't friends like each other?

He ran to the cloakroom so I ran after him and sat next to him on the benches.

"Now you're sad." I said.

"No I'm not." He said angrily.

"I thought we are friends." I said.

"We are friends." He said.

"I've never had a boyfriend before."

"Boy, friend." He said and started laughing.

"What's so funny?" I asked him.

"A boyfriend means you have to hug and kiss." He said gagging.

"Ewww." I said and we began to laugh hysterically.
