Sam was a small little kid, 3 foot 5 inches, and he was going into the Kindergarten. He attended a very special pre-school, one with a very cheesy name. The Pre-School's name was "Tiny Tot's Lot of Pre-Schoolers." Sam loved coloring, as a matter of fact, he was far ahead of all of his other classmates. He could draw inside the lines, and color inside the lines. He was a very small tot with blonde hair, blue eyes, and he was very skinny. Light seemed to reflect off of his eyes in a beautiful matter. But, he was headed to his first day of Kindergarten. He was ready, but he would miss his parents. He rushed out to the bus, and tripped on one of his shoelaces. He began to sob.
His mom picked him up by the waist, and put him upright. He turned around and kissed his mom on the cheek, then dashed towards the open bus door. He ran up the stairs, and chose the first seat to the left. He stared out the window, and showed his mom he had his lunch, and the bus zoomed away. At the next stop, the bus picked up a boy named Brian.
Brian sat beside Sam.

"Hi. H-H-Who are y-you?" Brian stammered out.

Sam turned to him, and gave him a smile. Brian was a chubby kid, with flat brown hair, and green eyes. His green eyes eyed Sam's lunch bag.
Sam placed it on the ground, and Brian pointed to it.

"C-c-c-c-Can I h-h-have some f-food?" Brian said.

Sam pointed to his lunch bag. Brian nodded at him. Sam knew he had to protect his lunch, so he shook his head. Brian began to get mad. He looked mad, even to Sam, and Sam hunkered down into his seat.
His eyes were full of fright, and he retreated in his seat. Brian snagged his lunch and opened it up. He pulled out an apple and took a huge bite out of it, then threw it back in. Then, Brian took out his apple juice, and took a huge sip out of it. He threw that back in, and ate Sam's brownie. He game Sam back the bag, and Sam began to cry.

"W-w-what's wrong?" Brian asked, looking sincere.

Sam sobbed all the way to school, and the teacher asked what had happened.
Sam told her, and she placed Brian into the time-out corner. Brian stomped over there, and peered at Sam. Sam went over and hopped onto a red beanbag.
He picked up a small book and began to read it. A girl walked up to him, her name was Hannah.

"Hi, sssssam. How are you?" She asked.
Sam could tell that she had trouble with her s's, but that was no problem for him.

"Happy. You?" Sam asked.

"I'm good. Thankssssss." She responded.

Hannah plopped into a black beanbag right beside the beanbag Sam was in. She looked over at the book he was reading. She read along with him, and they flipped pages, and everything.
His teacher, Mrs. Branch, called them all into a circle.

"Okay class! I want you to say your name and something you like." She announced.

Everyone went. Hannah answered with, "Ice Cream." People made fun of Sam's response of, "Superheroes." His favorite hero that he thought of was Little Man. He didn't have any real powers, but he saved the world. Sam was embarrassed after announcing his favorite thing, but he was okay with it. He learned to write some of the alphabet.
He learned how to write the letter, "A" and "a." He really enjoyed writing. And he had a very active imagination. Mrs. Branch took them to the lunchroom, where Sam enjoyed what was left of his lunch. Hannah sat beside him.
She had straight black hair, with brown eyes, and she was really skinny.
She pulled out a cup of applesauce, and showed it to Sam.

"Do you want it?" She said.

Sam shook his head, and stared straight at the applesauce. She looked at him. Sam turned back to his lunch, and threw it away, once he finished it. He rushed outside and began to play on the monkey bars. He giggled when he got halfway. He dropped off, and rushed over to the slide. Hannah had got herself on top if the monkey bars. She called to Sam, and Sam began to clap for her.

"Yay! Look at me Ssssssam!" She called.

Sam just kept clapping and kept that smile on his face. Hannah hopped off the bars, and Sam rushed over to her. They went on the swings, and swung together. They ran back to the school, and went back in. They learned some things about numbers, and then they took the bus home.
This time, Hannah sat beside Sam.

"Where'sssssss your sssssssstop?" She asked Sam.

Sam pointed to his house, and he walked off the bus. He rushed to his mom at the front door, and gave her a big hug. She walked him inside, but not after Sam waved goodbye to Hannah.

"Did you make any friends?" Sam's mom asked.

Sam nodded.

"Yeah! A little girl named Hannah!" He said cheerfully.

Sam's dad wasn't home from work yet, so he sat down and began to watch T.V. on a toddler's network. He sang along with the theme song, and repeated everything the characters said, but only when he was told. His mom called him for dinner, and he enjoyed a nice bowl of Macaroni and Cheese. He hopped off of his chair, and raced up to his room.
He drew Little Man, and he put his name above it. He showed it to his mom, which she loved and hung up on the fridge.
When his dad came home, Sam ran to him and gave him a big hug. Well, big for his size. His dad hugged him and asked about his day. He didn't tell his parents about Brian....... Brian was a bully. Sam went back to watching T.V. but fell asleep on the couch. His parents carried him up to his bed, and Sam rested peacefully through the night.

When he awoke next morning, he nearly spilled the milk making his breakfast, but he got every drop into his bowl. He scooped out the flakes, and ate his cereal. This time he didn't trip over his shoes. But, he rushed onto the bus, and found Hannah. He sat beside her, and she had something for him.
A pink pillow shaped in the form of a poodle. He shoved it in his backpack, and saved it for later. He thanked her, and they got off at the school. He jumped a few inches higher when he leaped off the bus, and landed harder. He hurt his ankle, but not severely. He rushed into the school, and was unaware of what that poodle pillow could really do to him.
