First day of school

I left home in a hurry as I was almost late for school.

As I was hurrying to reach the bus interchange, my heart was pounding furiously - I was afraid, and excited at the same time for the first day of school.

I entered the bus 901. Not long after, I arrived at my school.

My first impression of the school was that - It was huge! Far bigger than what I had expected.

As I climbed the steps of the stairs of the entrance of the school, my mind was filled with thoughts of my new school.

I was amazed. It was huge inside. Not only that, I almost got lost trying to find the hall.

When I entered the hall, I managed to locate where my class was seated at and immediately dashed across the hall to sit.

Not sure if it was just pure luck, I saw an old friend of mine sitting behind me - Winfred.

However, I did not immediately recognize him as I did not see him for 3 years.

At that moment, I felt uneasy. I stood up and went to see the teacher. She took me to the general office to 'check up' on me.

She told me that I was having a fever and ordered me to grab my belongings and go home.

During the journey home, I was blaming myself unconsciously. Trust me to have a fever on the first day of school.

However, my curiosity for my new school and classmates grew bigger.
