I'm a decent teenager, good student with pretty good grades. I'm an optimistic person, and I love talking to knew people. Due to my social personality, the teachers would ask me to guide new students or transfer students around school. I'm in grade 8, last year of middle school and the new school year started for about a month now. One day, I got sick the night before, so I slept in till almost lunch time. I told my parents that I was going to school because I didn't want to miss anymore classes or it'll be hard to catch up. Eventually they gave in and let me go to school. When I arrived, lunch just started. I went to my classroom and my teacher was sitting at her desk.

"Afternoon Mrs. H." I greeted her.

She looked up from her desk and was surprised.

"Oh______! You came to school, I thought you weren't feeling well?" She said.

"Ya, feeling a bit better now, gotta get up and running to get my energy up. Did I miss anything?" I asked.

"I see, yes, we got new students today, 5 of them. I was planning on emailing your parents last night and see if you were willing to be a guide for them around school, before I got the chance I was told that you were sick." Mrs. H said.

"Oh I see, so did other students take them on a tour?" I asked.

"I assigned 5 classmates to each of the new students, unfortunately, one of the student had something urgent so she couldn't make it. One of the new student was quiet and said that he'll take a tour by himself after school." She said.

"Oh where is he now?" I asked.

"Since it's lunch time now, I think he's in the cafeteria. Would you like to guide him around the school after lunch?" She asked

"I would be glad to Mrs. H. Uhm, what does he look like?" I asked.

"Well when he came in, he was holding a book, and he was reading it after he finished his work this morning, he seemed to be really intrigued by it, I believe it's "Anna Karenina." He's wearing all white, he's Japanese, large dark eyes, and his hair is black and it up to his ears." She explained.

"Great, I'll go find him right now." I replied.

"Alright, I won't assign any homework for today, just some class work so you can take the time to guide him around, don't worry about the others, they're almost done their tour. Thanks for doing this_____." She said.

"No problem, see you later Mrs. H."

I headed out the classroom and down the hall to the cafeteria.

"Hey_____! You came, have you met the new students yet?" My friend Linda asked.

" No, I just got to school." I said.

"Oh, well we've met them and they were all good looking." Another one of my friend said.

"Well, I'll have to see them first, I'm on my way to meet one right now and be his guide around school." I said.

"Oh, Cazqui? He's in the cafeteria right now reading a book. You're looking for him right?" Linda asked.

"So his name is Cazqui. Cool name. Uhm, ya I suppose so, Mrs. H said he is the one reading a book. She also said he's quiet too." I said.

"A little bit, he's just really focused on his novel, we didn't talk to him yet so we wouldn't know." My friend Olivia said.

"Ahh, well I better get going before the bell rings." I said and waved goodbye.
