-bad day: the overall negative view or feeling about about the outcome of someone's day

It was finally lunch time I know there are two lessons after that but I needed the break. I managed to get lost a few more times and I haven't been able to make conversation with anyone else I'm pretty sure I nearly got beat up by this senior when I bumped into his girlfriend.

Looking around I noticed all my friends at one table I sighed happily and went to join them.

"Hey guys" I said smiling and sitting down.

"Hey Jo" Marty said acknowledging my presence.

"How's your day been?" Buffy asked

"Ha don't ask" I said pulling my lunch out.

"Come on I'm sure you're already friends with half our grade by now" TJ laughed causing the others to do the same.

"Yeah The Jonah Beck" Cyrus air quoted

I didn't laugh. In fact I'm annoyed they keep assuming I'm some kind of crowd pleaser wherever I go.

"No I didn't actually surprise, surprise The Jonah Beck hasn't made any friends" I spat irritated it caused the others to fall silent.

"Sorry man" Marty said patting me on the back  "You're likeable I'm sure you will soon" he reassured I smiled thankfully.

"Sorry for snapping" I said sincerely

"It's fine first days are always the hardest" Cyrus said

"I guess" I said taking a bite of my sandwich.

Marty tapped my shoulder getting my attention.

"You're sure there's nothing going on?" He asked in a whisper concerned for me.

"N-nothing" I stuttered.

They seemed to accept my half hearted answer and continued eating.

My last two lessons where history and music. History was in room A-15 I sat at the back of the class again by myself. At this point I've lost the will to try talking to someone. The teacher called out our names.

"Jonah Beck?"

"Present" I said quietly

I tried to keep my own presence unknown since I had lost hope in making any friends on the first day. It was going fine until our teacher decided it would be fun to do something any student would dread.

An icebreaker.

"I think we should go round the room introduced ourselves and say one of our hobbies to get too know one another." She said happily.

"Starting with... You young man at the back" she pointed in my direction the whole class turned to face me.

My breath got caught in my throat as I shakily stood up all eyes dead on me.

"I'm Jonah B-Beck" I kicked myself for stuttering "And I-I like to play g-guitar" I said quietly. That earned a few smirks from my class mates.

A few people whispered mockingly in response. I sat down red faced sinking lower into my seat.

I couldn't get out of that class fast enough when the bell rang. I darted out making my way to the music room. Glancing around there was no one I knew once again. All seats at the back were taken so I sat in the corner on the second row no one coming to sit next to me.

"Good after noon students I'm Mr Felton head of music here at Grant today is going to be pretty relaxed just pair and do some research on your favourite artists." The rather tall man said.
