I woke up to the sound of my mother waking me up, “Maddie, get up. You don’t want to be late on your first day of school,” my mom said, pulling the covers off my warm body. I looked over to my bedside clock, which read 6:30. “I don’t want to go to school,” I thought to myself. But I forced myself to get up. After a ten-minute breakfast, I jumped into the car, then Mom started the car.
Mom pulled over (靠边停车) in front of Beaumont High School, “Bye sweetie! See you at 3:00!”, my mom yelled, waving goodbye. I walked into the building, noticing that a lot of kids were already there.
After what felt like forever to find my locker in the endless hallways, I finally found mine. Reading my schedule for the day, my first class was Algebra (代数) with Mrs Robinson. I pulled out my algebra books and shut my locker door, when suddenly, a pile of books dropped on the ground. A girl got down on her knees to collect her belongings. I kneeled down to help her pick up the books. “Thank you,” she said. “No problem.” I replied. “I’m Hannah,” she announced. “I’m Maddie,” I smiled. Then we walked to class together and sat next to each other.
A group of boys were sitting at the back of the room, laughing, making paper airplanes out of their note paper, and throwing them across the room. Moments later, a woman with an algebra book walked into the classroom. “Hey boys, the airplanes must stay at the airport.” The class laughed, and then the atmosphere (气氛) calmed.
Three hours later, the bell rang throughout the school. I took my lunch and headed straight to the cafeteria. Hannah already had her lunch in her hand and saved me a seat. We talked about all sorts of things and found out we had a lot of things in common. I thought I had just made a new friend.
It was three o’clock and school was over. I wished this day hadn’t ended. I actually enjoyed my first day. Thinking about everything that happened today, I thought there was going to be a pretty good school year.
