SHAUN P.O.V
First day of year 7. Great. No friends, jumper ten times bigger than me, dorky shoes, knee high socks, shorts that go below my knees. Fun. I'm nervous, I know nobody but I hope I'll gain some friends by the end of the year.
"Shaun, come on, get your bag. Time for your first day of school!" mum said smiling, she came in with her camera, I smiled as she clicked the photo and then I grabbed my bag, going out to the car, I don't know what to expect, what will the people be like? What if I get lost and I have no one to help me? Oh well. I'll pull through. I got in the car and put my huge bag on the floor, doing up my seatbelt, waiting for mum to come. She came out and got in the car, she looked proud. She started the car and drove me to school, I had so many butterflies from nervousness, I'm scared.
We got to school. I saw all the other kids with their mums going to the school hall, my mum walked me there and we sat down as we heard the announcements and saying who was in which class. I kissed my mum on the cheek goodbye and took my school map, finding the room I was in. I walked into the room and bit my lip. None of them were familiar, all the kids in my class were in their own little groups talking, I sighed and sat down. This will be a lovely year. My teacher Mrs Brown checked us off the roll and told us she was also our science teacher as she passed us our timetables. They are so confusing to read. The bell rang as I made my way to my music class. This was probably the best thing about today so far. I walked into the room and took a seat.
"Ah Hello students, my name is Mr Samuels and I'll be your music teacher for this semester, we will be working on these worksheets like crosswords and such where you write in the different types of music and music signatures and such into the columns. I hope you enjoy this semester" he smiled and passed us all a piece of paper with the crossword and I started finding the types of music for the different boxes. They call this 'music'? I want to learn something.
"Mr Diviney, are you here?" Mr Samuels said marking the roll
"o-oh yeah, here sir"
"good, I hope you have a wonderful year" he smiled and continue marking the roll
"thanks Mr Samuels" I smiled slightly and continued till I finished and then packed my bag up and went out to recess, all us year 7's were taken to our locker bay and I picked a locker and put my bag in, taking my lunch money out, closed my locker and made my way out to the locker bay. "Shit, my map" I bit my lip. Why did I have to forget my map? Gah, I'm so stupid. I started walking back but I didn't know where I was going and then I saw this honey blonde haired boy approach me
"Hey, I'm Andy, how are you?" he put his hand out to shake mine
"h-hey, I'm good I guess…thanks…I'm Shaun by the way" I shook his hand and smiled
"do you know what the best thing about being short is?"
"what?" I giggled
"when you hug girls you get their boobs in your face" I burst into laughter as he smiled and laughed slightly. "Are you lost?" Andy said
"yeah…kinda...heh..."
he laughed "come on, I'll help you, where do you need to go?"
"The canteen" I blushed slightly, this was embarrassing
"ahhh, the good ol' canteen, come on" he grabbed my hand, dragging me through the corridor and outside to the canteen, I smiled "thanks Andy"
"no problem Shaun, I hope you have a good year" he smiled and went to walk away
"hey...hey Andy"
"yeah" he turned to me
"could you be my friend? I know that sounds lame but I kinda have nobody and I'm a tad scared and stuff and you seem really cool"
"of course Shaun" he smiled slightly
"good" I smiled as the bell rang.
I walked out of the school with Andy as we were laughing and talking as I waited for my mum, then a boy walked up next to Andy, he was taller than him by a tad and had brown hair and braces, playing on his phone with a shiny purple case. Kind of queer I think.
"Andy, dad said he'll pick us up a bit late like, 15 minutes" the boy said
"okay Bradie, thanks. Oh and this is my friend Shaun"
"oh, hey Shaun, I'm Bradie. Andy's step-brother"
"hi Bradie, nice to meet you"
"you too"
I saw my mums car pull up and I smiled "bye guys, mums here"
"bye Shaun" Andy said
"bye" Bradie added. I walked to mums car and got in.
"so, how was your first day?" mum asked
"it was great mum" I smiled at her
"that's good to hear"
"yeah" I bit my lip as she drove home. I got inside and went to my room and sat and my desk scribbling on a notepad, I think this will be a good year after all. I wonder if me and Andy will be friends for a long time, I hope he remembers my name.
