"Good morning, everyone. I have a huge announcement!" Our teacher exclaimed. I ignored her words and doodled on the worksheet she had just given us. We had just come back from our winter break and we were already in the new year. Two weeks and half did a lot to a person, especially a nine year old. I wasn't in my school mode yet.

"This morning, I was told that we will be having a new student!" Some cheered while others questioned who it was. I continued to draw on the back of my worksheet while the class got louder and louder

"Alright, students, settle down. We will be seeing them in a couple of minutes. Now, remember to make them feel welcomed, okay?" The class promised and we continued to work on our worksheets. I had finished mine already and I was just drawing to pass time.

"Hey, do you think the new student will be a girl or a boy?" My friend Monica asked. I glanced at her and shrugged. "I don't know, hopefully they're nice, though." She nodded as she stared at my paper and opened her mouth to speak. "Can I copy?" I frowned. "Why? We learned this yesterday before dismissal." I argued.

"I know, but I always forget, you know that." She pouted. I only sighed and glanced around the classroom, trying to find the teacher. She sat at her desk in the back of the classroom as she read something from a paper. I looked back to Monica as she raised her eyebrows and practically begged me with her eyes.

"You better hurry, you know she gets crazy when she catches someone cheating. Hurry!" I whispered and passed her my paper. She thanked me profusely before I hushed her and told her to hurry up or I was going to take my paper back. She nodded and got to work while I kept watch on our teacher.

A few moments passed when there was a sudden knock on our classroom door. I saw our teacher stand from her seat excitedly and quickly go to the door but not before giving us a knowing look. She opened the door, and her body hid the student while she said a few words to the administrator, I assumed, since they are the ones to show the new students around the school; and finally moved her body from the student.

Everyone was quiet and just staring at him. So was I. I didn't think much of him though and I suddenly remembered my worksheet. I pulled it from under Monica's arm as she stared shamelessly at the boy, not even acknowledging me pulling the paper. I rolled my eyes and continued to draw again after retrieving my paper.

Our teacher said a few last words to the administrator and closed the door with a smile. Everyone began to talk again and ignore the student until our teacher decided on introducing him. But I watched. He was quite tall to be in our grade and had straight, with little wavy like hair.

My teacher crouched a bit to reach his height as she was a bit tall, considering the nine inch heels she was wearing. She smiled and offered her hand for him to shake. He smiled shyly while she talked to him and shook her hand and I presumed of course, that she had asked for his name as he spoke and she nodded at his words and let go of his hand and pointed to herself, probably telling him her name as well. He nodded and smiled gently at her as she stood up from her crouched position.
