First day of school. Everybody hates it, but I hate it the most! This is yet another new school I'm attending. On every other school I was being bullied.. I just hope it won't be the same here.
I'm sitting quite uncomfortable in the school bus. Everyone is laughing and telling each other awesome stories of what they did in the holidays. I hate it, especially the part that everyone has a buddy to sit next to.. I've never had that.
The bus stopped to pick up another student. I looked outside, he looked pretty cool to be honest. The typical boy who has a lot of friends and is popular with the girls. Yeah, the kind of boy that never talks to dudes like me.
He stepped on the bus and my thinking was proved right because everyone and I mean everyone greeted him. He was smiling wide while shaking hands and hugging people. I sighed and looked outside again when I suddenly felt someone sitting next to me. I looked surprised around to see who it was. It was him. Apparently there wasn't a seat left but the one next to me.
He looked at me and smiled. 'Hi, are you new this year?' he asked friendly
'Y..Yeah' I said a little shy and surprised
'cool' he said 'I'm Danny Jones' and gave me his hand. I shook it. He's actually talking to me! Weird, never happened to me before. C'mon Dougie, for once in your life, be cool!
'I'm Dougie Poynter' I said
'So Dougie, in what year are you?' he asked me trying to make a conversation which I appreciated.
'year 4, you?'
'Year 5' he said and I was disappointed. Disappointed that he wouldn't be in the same class as me. It would have been nice to already have someone to talk to. He must have seen my disappointment 'cause he said 'Don't worry, you'll make a lot of friends here' and gave me a wink.
I smiled at him. He's really nice! It would be really cool if he becomes my friend.
The bus stopped again. We were there, at hell. At least it's hell for me.
I closed my eyes and prayed to god to give me at least a little amount of coolness to make 1 friend in my class today.
'Good luck Dougie, see you around yeah?' Danny said while taking off with his mates.
'Yeah, sure' I said but not loud enough for him to hear me. Here I am again, alone as always. This school won't be any different from the others, I just know it. The kids look different and have different names but turns out they always treat people the same. But it never happened to me before that someone talked to me on my first day. Danny is really cool and nice, I could tell. But he's only being nice to me because he's feeling sorry for me.
I took a deep breath before stepping off the bus, towards hell.
