He carried his schoolbag and went downstairs. His mother had prepared sandwiches. He slowly ate his sandwich in silence.
"Eat fast. I also need to go to work, " said Mrs Parker. She worked at a bakery.
"It's okay, mom. You don't have to drop me. I'll walk to school. "
"Are you sure? " Mrs Parker asked looking at her watch. "Oh. It's just 7:45. You'll reach on time even if you walk. So I guess you can walk. "
He finished his sandwich, waved to his mother and left for school.
With every step he took knew he was getting closer to the school. Just that thought made him shiver. He knew that all his mates would be excited to go to High School. Buy why couldn't it be the same in his case? So he let go of that cold feeling and said to himself, "This year is not gonna be the same as the previous ones. This time I'll be stronger. "
