First day of school...well for me anyway. School started at least what...about a week ago.(no I'm being serious that is not just a cheesy joke I planted there). After I came in I was taken into the main office for some paper work and stuff. After that the lady that did my paper work said that my class would be in 3rd period which was math.
She pointed me to the door where the classroom was and left. Then the hallway to me seemed like the scene of a horror movie. The light flickering on and off for no reason the hallway in the distance seemed darker. As I approached the door I felt like the murderer of the horror movie that was going on in my mind would take his knife out and kill me. But after a while I noticed that the only murderer in this school were my nerves.
I lightly knocked on the door and nervously walked into the classroom. Then everything got quite. Everyone was just looking at me. Analyzing my every move. Staring deeply into my soul. After looking around the classroom for a seat. Located where you might say. Directly next to the teacher.
I was so surprised of how the teacher reacted to having another new kid in class. I was surprised because she didn't really care. I thought they would make me stand in front of everyone and give an overview of my life. I only thought that biecause I have been practicing the perfect intro. But all of that went to the trash.
After sitting there not knowing what to do the teacher told the kid beside me to help me out. His name was Josh. He didn't seem to care that I was the new kid. He just wanted to do his work. He was friendly compared to the kids on TV.
After the bell rang signaling time for next period I packed my things and walked out the door. Not knowing where I was going I started following some of the kids that were in my class. Then someone touched my shoulder from behind. It was a short kid from my class named Diego. He was friendly so we immediately became friends.
After following some of my new classmates Diego told me that we had science next. I walked into the classroom and stood in front of everyone to find a seat. The teacher assigned me to the table with the empty seat. After a while of sitting there I got to know the names of the kids at my table. It was a boy named Ceaser. From what I could see he really liked to read books. Then there was Jessica she was a very smart and nice girl. Then the last one Shajaida. She was super nice but I knew that she was probably pretty nerdy. After the period ended Shajaida stopped me for a second and called one of her friends. Her name was Allye. When I first saw her I thought she was completely crazy but in a kinda cute way. Then they warned me of something. They said "watch out for Tyliq". I didn't know who he was but just because of that he must've had some history in this school. After that we became friends and they left. Before I could leave I was stopped by 3 more girls.
I recognized one which was Jessica. The other 2 must be friends. The other two girls introduced themselves and said hi. One of them was Arly and the other Maryam. They then started shooting questions at me. Questions like where are you from and stuff like that. The one question that really got me was "Do you have a girlfriend?". I was going to say no wanting to say yes and make up a story right there. I didn't because I know how that usually ends up for people. They then left and we continued our day as usual.
We finally had lunch. I saw the one they called Tyliq so I decided to sit on the other end of the table. When I sat down the two guys around me said hi. I introduced myself and they did the same. I don't like to judge a book by it's cover but in this situation I had to. So the kid next to me was short so I thought that he was a nerd or wirdo that creeps out the girls. Then there was the one in front of me. He was a chubby guy so by his appearance I thought that he would be one of those crazy nerds that just can't get enough of school.
Wow I was wrong. These guys must have been the greatest guys ever. The one next to me was Matt and the one in front was Miguel. Yeah they were nerds. But the cool kind of nerds that everyone likes to hang out with. Miguel was from Poland and he had to be the smartest guy in class. Eventhough he was pretty smart Matthew was smart too. He was actually nice with girls and not creepy at all. Now I knew who I am going to spend the entire school year with.
