It's my first day of school in this new place. My family had just moved from Canada as my dad got a new job here. I felt all alone here. I did'nt know anyone here!

We went to the reception and I received my timetable before being introduced to where the facilities are. I quickly got to class after that. When I came in, my English teacher, Ms Maggie, introduced me to the class.

Everyone was staring at me. It made me really uneasy. I kinda thought it was because of my size, so yeah.

I was told to sit beside Amy Jackson who was sitting right in front of the teacher's table. I was VERY quiet the whole time on that day, not like who I really was, A talkative and friendly person. It was kind of a HUGE change.

However, Amy was so nice! She talked to me and even introduced me to her friends during break time! So, after awhile, I adjusted and started to be ME.

THE REAL ME.

I made it through the day and had to walk home myself. I said goodbye to my new-found friends and took down some of their numbers as well.

I dont think I'll have any problems getting home. Mom showed me the route a few times..

...

"I think I'm lost," I thought to myself, seeing an unfamiliar street in front of me. I walked around in circles, trying to remember where I had to go.

My handphone was at home. DARN. I'm so forgetful.

Luckily, I saw Amy walking down the street on the other side of the road. I called out to her.

"AMY! AMY! OVER HERE!" I shouted as waved to her.

"What are you doing there?" Amy asked as she crossed the road to talk to me.

I explained to her that I got lost trying to remember the way home and how I did'nt bring my handphone.

"Well, where do you live? I can bring you there." She said with a smile.

"I live on Number 23, Anzac Avenue. I hope it's not too far away from you house. I really don't like troubling people." I replied. I really don't like troubling people. It'll make me feel like I'm a bad person.

"Well, actually, we live quite NEAR to each other. In fact, we're neighbours! I live at 21, Anzac Avenue! WOW! This is so AWESOME! It's gonna be so cool if we can go to each others' houses all the time!" Amy said with a lot of excitement.

Amy walked me home, showing me where her house was on the way. She also told me about a party she was having after the examinations next week...

OKAY, THIS CHAPTER IS DONE! TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT IT! :) Love, Aisha
