Kiyoshi and Tommy

Three

Tommy's POV:

The bus pulls up to the school.

I pick my white backpack up of the floor and skip down the steps.

I'm so excited!

I'm going to make sooo many friends!

I get to the steps when I notice a clique looking at me funny.

I wave and offer a cute smile,"Hi!"

They snicker and mockingly wave back, making contorted versions of my smile.

I force a smile on my face and walk inside. I'm not going to let those punks ruin the first day of school.

I go and sit in my seat.

The teacher clears his throat to get the classes attention.

"Hello class," the teacher says,"We have a new student. His name is Thomas Davis. Thomas, can you come up please?"

I skip up.

"Hi!" I wave. No one really seems very enthusiastic. I still smile though.

"I'm Tommy. I just moved here from Florida. I have to say, it's a lot colder here." I can't help but giggle at my joke.
