flashback to three years ago (2013) setting in Singapore, where 'primary school' means 'elementary school'.
Sidona Lee bid goodbye to her parents as she stepped out of the comfort of the family car into the unknown of Westlake Primary School. Today is her first day of Primary Four, and she was nervous but mostly excited for what was in store for her. Sidona's parents run an international business, resulting in her having to travel to various parts of the world and be known as the 'transfer student' throughout her education. This will soon change as Esther, Sidona's mother, told her privately that they were planning to settle in Singapore.
Taking deep breaths to calm herself, Sidona walked towards the Administration Office and pushed open the heavy glass door.
"Good Morning, Miss! How can I help you today?", a young lady whose name tag read Miss Paige asked.
"Hello, I am Sidona, the new transfer student" she replied politely.
"Oh yes, please wait while I print your timetable", said Miss Paige while hurrying off to do so.
Sidona scanned the glistening marble floor and bright white lights in the Office and felt a tad bit anxious for the new semester. "Will I be able to make new friends?", she wondered aloud. Before she could overthink the possibilities of her social life in the new school, Miss Paige returned with a map of the school and her timetable."You will be in Class 4 Empathy, my dear. It is located on the third floor, fifth classroom from the left" Sidona thanked the helpful Miss Paige and made her way to class.
Sidona was not used to climbing stairs in her old school. "I can't believe I have to climb six flights of stairs to class everyday!" she groaned under her breath when she finally reached the third floor. She walked past several classrooms and observed that class has already started.
"Am I late?", she thought to herself. She quickened her steps and found herself standing at the door of Class 4 Empathy. Hesitantly, she lifted her hand and knocked on the door. "Come in!" exclaimed a cheerful-looking teacher donning a bright yellow dress and matching polka dot hairband.
"Good Morning! I am Mdm Paisley, your form teacher. You must be the new student we're expecting. Do introduce yourself to us." she said in a sing-song voice.
"Hi, I am Sidona Lee." Sidona said while waving shyly at her new classmates.
