As the sun rose over the private academy of Modelians , excited chatter filled the air. Today was the first day of school, and students of all backgrounds had gathered to begin a new year of learning, growth, and opportunity.

For a scholarship student from a working-class family, the academy represented a chance to break free from the limitations of her past. As she walked through the gates and onto the immaculate grounds, she felt a surge of hope and determination.

But as she approached the grand main building, she couldn't help feeling a pang of nervousness. Would she fit in with the elite students who comprised the majority of the academy's population? Would she be able to keep up with the demanding coursework and high expectations?

Suddenly, a voice interrupted her thoughts. "Excuse me, girl?"

She turned to see a tall, handsome? , beautiful tomboy with sandy blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. She wore the academy's uniform with effortless ease, her tie slightly askew, and her blazer slung casually over her shoulder.

"Yes?" She said.

"I couldn't help but notice you seem a bit lost , just like me. So, first day? " the girl said with her hand, scratching her head."

"Hi, I'm new here. My name is Nova. What's yours?"

"Hey, I'm Lara. Nice to meet you."

"So, are you excited about starting school here?"Nova asked.

"Not really. I'm only here because of my sports scholarship. I'm not really into academics."Lara replied.

"What sport do you play? "Nova asked as they started walking towards the first year building.

"Basketball . I have beenplayingsince i was a kid .It's my favourite sport."Lara answered enthusiastically.

Nova was excited to have someone to share the experience with, and Lara was equally thrilled to have found a kindred spirit.

Together, they walked down the corridor, peering into each classroom as they went. They were looking for their new class, but they also wanted to get a sense of the school's layout. As they walked, they chatted about their scholarships, favourite sports , and subjects.

"So, Sarah, you got a full scholarship to this academy. You must be a real genius!"Lara said .

Nova:" No, I am not."

Lara:what else do you do

Nova:Well, I love to read and write. I also enjoy playing the piano."

Lara:"You are such a nerd,"

Nova :"Stop calling me that."

What about you?"

"Same here. I got one for playing basketball."

"That's really cool. I've always wanted to learn how to play basketball."

Lara:"I could teach you sometime if you want."

"That would be amazing! I could teach you how to play the piano in return."

lara:"Deal. It's a plan."

Finally, they reached their destination. Lara opened the door and peered inside. "This is it," she said, "our new class!"

Nova looked inside and saw a room full of unfamiliar faces. She felt a pang of nervousness in her stomach, but she tried to hide it. Lara seemed confident and fearless.

Together, they walked into the classroom, searching for an empty desk. They found two desks next to each other and sat down. Nova looked around the room, feeling a little overwhelmed.

But then she looked at lara, who was smiling and chatting with the girl next to her. Sarah felt a sense of calm wash over her. She knew that she had found a good friend.

As the teacher walked in, Sarah took a deep breath and smiled. She was ready for this new beginning.
