The First Day

I walked into the room of my new classroom at my new school, my stomach is turning and I feel like I am going to throw up. Everyone’s eyes come to me, they're all staring at me. They’re all judging me I think to myself. Trying to find words I somehow manage to spit out “Um, hi I’m err… Jade and I’m new here.” A tall man, who I believe is the teacher stands up from the desk at the front of the room. He walks over to me and says in a very strong and deep voice “Hello and welcome, I’m Mr Smith, your English teacher. Please take a seat.” I nod understanding as I scan the room, great only one seat left at the back, and next to some random guy I think to myself. I walk to the back of the room as quick as I can hoping that all the attention will go away.

Everyone’s eyes are back at the front of the room. Mr Smith then writes on the whiteboard ‘Shakespeare’ he then proceeds into saying “Okay our next topic is about Shakespeare, we will firstly be talking about the basics…” Boring I think and start to tune out, I pull out the diary that the school gave me and look at my timetable. Period 1 which I’m in right now is English, then a 20 minute break, period 2 is then History great probably the worst subject ever, period 3 Maths okay so I find maths easy so that’s good, Lunch which goes for 40 minutes, then finally period 4 is Drama which is a good subject to end my first day on.

I put the diary back under my pencil case and books and start to think about random things. Time passes by quickly and suddenly everyone starts to stand up and talk to who I assume are there friends. “What’s everyone doing?” I say to myself a bit loader than a whisper, the boy sitting next to me looks at me and then says “Mr Smith said we only have a couple of minutes left and so there’s no point in starting to learn anything new so he said we can just pack up and talk to our friends” I then look at him and reply “Oh okay.” We both kind of just look at each other for a bit, I notice he has brown ‘emo’ like hair and brown eyes.

The boy then clears his throat, smiles and says “By the way I’m Dan.” I nod, Dan that’s a nice name I think to myself. I kind of just sat there staring at him for a couple of seconds forgetting that I was actually talking to someone “Oh… yeah cool name, I’m Jade.” I say awkwardly, Dan then replies saying “Yeah I remember, cute name by the way.” Then there was then a really load ringing noise and pretty much everyone was leaving the classroom. Obviously me being the stupid person I am, I say “What was that?” I then paused for a few seconds after realising how stupid I was and say “Oh never mind that was the bell.” Dan laughs, great Jade embarrassing yourself on the first day at your new school, and of course in front of the first person you meet you just go and say the most stupidest thing ever. I swear no one is going to want to be friends with me I think to myself.

I sigh and pick up my books and walk out the classroom and to my locker (that I had previously found and stored all my books and things in). I put my English books back into my locker and grab out an apple and my books for History (may as well be prepared for the next class). I close my locker and walk over to the canteen, I find an empty table and sit down. I can hear the sound of laughter, talking and people having fun. I look around and see some of the people that were in my class, I recognise their faces. I sigh everyone seems so happy with their friends and I’m just sitting here alone. Out of now where the bell goes, I stand up and put my apple core in the bin.

I head off straight away to room 40 which is where my History class is. I find my way to History, I’m the first one to walk into the room, I decide to sit in any seat for now I mean if I’m sitting in anyone’s place they can just ask me to move.

Slowly and gradually one by one silently more and more students come in, they all go to their seats quietly. That is until a couple of boys walk into the room laughing and being loud, they walk up me and I take a deep breath. “Looks like someone’s sitting in your seat Joey.” One of the boys say, another boy who I assume is Joey says “Yeah Sawyer you’re right…” I cut him off by saying “I’m sorry I didn’t know, I can move.” The boy just stares at me and eventually says “Well then move fast.” I stand up and get all my stuff off the desk as quick as I can, most of the seats are already taken so I just decide to go and sit in one of them.
