As I caught the bus to school, I thought nervously about the day. It was my birthday. I thought to myself. My birthday was on the first day of high school. I didn't know anyone at the school and I was worried. My only wish was to be happy at school and make some friends...

I walked off the bus, said thank you and quickly ran to catch the train. As I looked around I could see no one in the same uniform as me.

Soon I arrived at school, I looked around with no idea of where I was going. Serious faces filled the room. I didn't like it. I wanted to go home!

I finally found the other 7 graders. They were all talking happily. I felt like an outcast. I sat down and closed my eyes. I remembered my old school, my old friends, my teachers and I felt alone.
