Never Forget Me

Meeting Him(Todds view)

Todd's point of view.

I slam my alarm clock and get up with excitement when I hear it's excruciating screams telling me to wake up. "Today is the first day of school! Finally a fresh start!" I say to myself, because I'm heading to a new school, since at my old school, lets just say, I didn't really get along with many people. Actually, make that no people. Haha... Anyway! Happy fresh start! Weee! I get ready and put on my hoodie and head out. As I get to my bus stop at the corner of my street, I start questioning if this is the right spot, since no one else is there, but when I come back to reality, I see that a person has joined me. As I introduce myself I realize that they have music blasting in their probably really messed up ears. So I just give up, but, I don't get discouraged, after all, I'll still have eight periods when I get to school to make new friends! I go to check my phone, right as I put it back in my pocket, the bus rolls up. I get an open seat in the middle of the bus, since it's the only seat that doesn't have another person in it. Once the bus driver settles everyone down, she says "Hello everyone, my name is Mrs. Smith, I'll be your bus driver for the year. Now that we're acquainted, I'd like all of the new kids to stand up."
I try to sink into my seat, but she notices and I quickly stand up, giving myself a slight headache. Right after I sit down, I get really self conscious about myself. While I was standing I noticed everyone was a lot shorter than me. Am I really that tall? I'm only 5'8, well, maybe they're freshmen. Yeah, probably, or they might all be midgets. Also, what if I was standing weirdly, I get self conscious about that a lot for some reason. I feel a sudden jerk and realize we're moving again and spaced out for her whole bus speech. Oh well, I hope I didn't miss anything important. The bus comes to a halt and we all filter off. When I get off I realize I have no one to talk to, I just awkwardly sit on a fence neat the door hoping for it to open soon. A bell rings and the doors open, everyone files in, me being one of the first, since I was right next to the door. I enter a hall filled with lockers and random rooms with numbers and some with the teachers name on them. I look down at the floor and see weird wooden tiles pattern the floor, some really dirty, some polished clean. Then I look up, and boy was I not expecting this, but the school had leaks. Loads of them! I swear it was like a murder happened on the walls, except for the blood was brown and seeping from the ceiling onto the walls. I get shoved and snap back into reality, and rush to my locker, which isss.. 55 in, area B. The problem isss, I forgot where area B is. I just follow the other people that look like they could be sophomores and follow them. Luckily I find my locker and miraculously remember the combination. I head to my homeroom after I gather what I think I might need. It's way to noisy for my tastes, but at least I was seated next to another quiet person, but then a surge of anxiety hits me when they introduce them self. I think they said their name was Brad. All I can muster is a "Oh uh, hi, I'm Todd. My friends call me Toddy, but I don't have friends, so I guess I'm just Todd." They seem to be amused by my answer, which soothes my nerves a little bit. They ask me what I have first period, I say, thinking they won't have the same thing, "Social Studies with Mrs. Johnson," then they excitedly say "Me too!" Which made me happy, since this person seems to want to be friends. I ask them when they started going here, which they respond with last year. That doesn't surprise me. They ask me back and I say "Well I've been going since today." They laugh at that, which makes me happy. In first period we get to introduce our selves to the class, which I suck at, but I did get to confirm his name was Brad. The rest breezed by. After Social Studies I had band, which I went to with excitement, since I love everything about music. That goes by quickly as well. The rest of the day goes by with a flash. I sit alone during lunch, well, I don't sit alone, I sit with Brad, but also with all of his friends, so he's occupied with them for most of the time, and none of them bothered to say hello to me, so I just sat there and ate my lunch and went to study hall. Study hall was better though, since me and Brad were passing notes until I accidentally snickered to loud and we were separated. Although we still made faces at each other when the adults weren't looking. It was great. The rest of the day went by extremely slow. I learn that Brad is on my afternoon bus, that makes me happy. We get on the bus and sit in the back. I always like the back of the bus. It's fun, especially with Brad. When I have to get off of the bus, I say bye to Brad and get off the bus. I was really surprised that I had a good day, but the rest of the day was kinda bland compared to being at school with my friend. I can't wait until tomorrow!
