Today was the day I that I start at a new school. I walked down the halls of the new school and found my way to the office. "Excuse me? I'm new here and I was wondering were room 13 is?" I said in a small voice.
"Oh yes dear. Right this way" an elderly lady said to me, leading me down the great empty halls. With the help of the elderly woman I made it to class a bit late.
"Ahh I see we have a new student. Welcome, welcome! Please take a seat." I did as told. "I'm Mr Rogers and I'm your English teacher!" Mr Rogers exclaimed. I pushed my glasses up my nose a bit more before sitting near the back of the class... Alone...

Rinnnggg (idk! Don't judge)
When the bell rung I slowly packed everything away and went to my second class. I took out my timetable that I got yesterday and saw I had Art. I've always loved art. So I quickly went to try and find my locker and failed. I saw a pretty girl at her locker putting her things away. She was beautiful. Long brown hair. A beautiful smile. Such gorgeous eyes. I went up to her and tapped her shoulder. "Excuse me? I'm new so could you please help me find my locker?"
She turned around startled. "Hmm? Oh yes of course! May I?" She asked pointing to my timetable. I nodded and handed it too her and she lead the way.
"227, 228, ah here we go! Locker number 229!" She said with a smile. "Thank you" I said in a hushed tone.
"Samantha"
I hummed in response with a confused look.
"My name is Samantha"
"Oh well, Samantha, my names Derek"
"Well it was nice to meet you Derek but I have to head to art now"
"Hey I have art too! Would you be able to show me where it is?"
"sure follow me!" Samantha said in a cheerful tone.
She ran off ahead, her hair bouncing as she ran. I ran off after her.
When we arrived to art we were super early so we just talked and got to know each other.
"So what grade are you in Derek?"
"I'm in 8th grade. You?"
"Same. Why did you choose this school out of all the others there are?"
"I didn't my parents chose this school..."

The teacher spoke "Okay class come in, come in! I see we have a new face, I'm Ms Lanely. Would you be able to introduce yourself?"
"Sure" I said confidently.
I stood at the front of the class about to open my mouth when I then got interrupted.
"Nerd!" Everyone erupted in laughter except for the teacher, and Samantha had a sorry look on her face.
"Just because I'm smarter than you and wear glasses does not mean I'm a nerd. A Nerd isa foolish or contemptible person who lacks social skills or is boringly studious. I do not lack social skills and I'm definitely not studious so I suggest you move on and leave me alone. Thank you"
The class became quiet. It was almost like everyone was staring deep into my soul.
"Um okay uh... We didn't get you name?" Ms Lanely said to try and ease the awkwardness only to make it worse.
"Derek" I mumbled.
"Well uh class get out your drawing pads and, well, draw!"
I sat down next to Samantha and went to go into my bag for my drawing pad but I then remembered I didn't have one. So I just watched Samantha draw an amazing panda.

I was beyond amazed!
"Samantha! Your really good at drawing! It's amazing!"
"Hehe thanks... Hey Derek where's your drawing pad?"
"Oh I-uh I don't have one..."
She flipped over a couple of pages and found a blank one. "Here" she said sliding it over to me.
"Are you sure? I'm not very good?"
"Just draw! It's fine really!" She gave me her art pencil and eraser and I started to draw.
About 15 minutes later I was amazed at how well it turned out! Now all it needs is a tiny bit of colour. "Hey Samanthaa?" I said dragging out the 'a'.
She turned and smiled. "Yes Derek?"
"Do you have any colouring pencils?"
Her smile grew wider, then she reached down into her bad a pulled out a massive pencil case full of a wide arrange of colours. I nodded a thank you and began to colour my drawing...
When it was finished, I showed Samantha.

She couldn't take her eyes of it. She was so cute, tracing her fingers over it carefully so she doesn't smudge it.
She stood up and went towards the teacher. I looked at her confused and she just smiled and began to show the teacher. Ms Lanely pointed at me to come towards her. I slowly walked towards her having all eyes on me. There were some small whispers from the others but I ignored them.
"Yes Ms?"
"Did y-you draw this?" She said with wide eyes.
"Yes I did..."
"Okay class! Stop for a moment please! I want to show you this young mans drawing he did! Pass it over"
She held it to the class and they were shocked. I just smiled and sat back down. More whispers came but once again I ignored them and continued with class.

At the end of the day, I was proud of myself.
I met a lovely girl.
I shocked the whole class.
I got mostly A's and B's.
People wanted me to sit by them at lunch, or play sports with them but I declined politely.
My Parents were gone as well so I had the house to myself.
I made quite a lot of friends, and some enemies, but l got invited to parties and hangouts.
I can't wait for tomorrow to begin...
