I walked in, boldly Like I didn't care about anyone's impression about me. "What if I'm in the wrong class?" I muttered jokingly. There was a free seat by the wall, the 3rd seat on the right - my perfect type of spot, I smiled as I moved towards it. I made myself comfortable and took out the first book we had for the day. I was still searching my bag for a pen when suddenly a nice firm voice said "let me help you with this" as he stretched his hands forward towards me with a pen. "Yeah yeah I'm such a dummy" I said to myself, " because why the f*k will I not own a pen on the very first day of school. And what if he thinks I'm unserious? Oh my!! ", " Don't bother, he said nicely, everyone makes such mistakes " I smiled and took the pen from his hand as I softly thanked him. " I'm Louis, by the way" , he said with no hesitation and with a soft smile. "I'm Mai" I reciprocated. Just then, our teacher walked in. She wasn't bad at all. An angel when compared to my former teacher. She introduced herself as Miss Carol, and preceded with her teaching.
The belll rang, indicating lunch time. I didn't even know were the restaurant was, talk less of any other place. I looked round trying to see what the others were doing when Louis interrupted "you're new here I guess, lunch?" I almost refused until my stomach rumbled. I was shy yess.. and accepted to go for lunch with him. Over lunch, we got to know ourselves better that's our hobbies, former residence, priorities and all the like. I got to discover the crazy part of his character. To be honest he's a 10. He's a polish. "Hey Louis" a calm beautiful girl said as she pulled out a chair to sit. Louis responded and they spoke a little, from the look of things, they're close because they get along so swiftly "Oh forgive my manners, Louis said as he realized his uncouth behavior 😂, urhm Mai meet Sandra, she's my friend, and Sandra meet Mai our new friend" Sandra smiled at me as she greeted " it's nice having you in our school " I thanked her and she ordered her own plate. We all engaged into a pleasant conversation and giggled. From a distance, you might think we've known ourselves for quite long. I turned right and noticed Kay sitting with some bunch of girls. They're her friends I guess. I smiled. I was happy she was getting along too.
It was end of luch break, we walked back to our classrooms and stayed till closing hour.
Dad didn't come on time, so Louis opted to carry me home. "We always go home together, Sandra said as the car moved, and since we all are now friends, we can always ride together" We all giggled. His car was Soo comfy and expensive, I can bet he's from a wealthy background. Sandra too wasn't bad. She also looked expensive... I'm Soo impressed by how they're down to earth despite the riches- they're Soo like me - I can now call them friends.. we all live on the same street but my house came first. That's mine, Sandra's and then louis' . Sandra sat on the right front seat, while I sat at the back in the middle seat. Louis played a soft Taylor's song and we sang joyously as we sped off.
We arrived my home and I brought them inside to meet my parents. My Mom was Soo pleased I'm getting along already and they were Soo comfortable around her. She got their names and contacts and they left.
I went up to my room , added Louis and Sandra into my diary, and then went down for dinner. Just then Kay walked in, greeted Mom and Dad and went up to change too. We all shared our day's experience to Mom and Dad as they listened keenly.
