Fist Day

Feeling lazy to get up, Danielle pushed away the ringing alarm. Determined not to be defeated, it kept on ringing till she gave up sat on her bed and stared daggers at the clock, wondering why she set the alarm..

"Danielle, hurry up or we'll be late!" her mum called. Then it hit her, it's her first day in high 🏫 school!

she ran immediately to the bathroom to shower and quickly dress then headed downstairs for breakfast.

"morning mum, are you also going out?"

"yes dear, it's not only you that's having a first time, I'm starting work today!"

Danielle looked at her mum and wondered if she was joking because she knew her mum is too lazy to work, but decided to brush it off.

"Hey! hey!" Mrs Jones called Danielle who was rushing out of the car. "I know you're going to be too shy to even look at anybody's shoe, but at least try and loosen up a bit okay?". "Got it mum" Danielle said uninterested to listen to any lecture from her mum, left the car and waved her bye.

Her mum was right though, Danielle is as shy as a Touch-me-not plant, has unpredictable mood swings, this minute she's miss upper with the contagious laughter and the next she's Derbie Downer with an I-couldnt-careless expression. 'Oh Lord help me through today and I promise to pray everytime' she silently prayed.. As she entered the hall the first thing she notice 'lots of shoes!!!! oh no, oh no, oh no' she was thinking of turning back but decided to be strong. 'I can do this, I can do this'll she kept on telling herself. Not watching where she was going ( heck, she was looking at the shoes! not like she interested in them, she didn't know how to move her head up), she bumped into someone..

"Hey! watch it!"

"I'm so sorry, I wasn't watching" (obviously!) she immediately apologised, although the person she bumped into was walking away, she guessed it was a girl from her shoes..

"here", someone had picked up her book that fell off.

"Thank you" she finally raised up her head and saw a smiling girl looking at her.

" Hi, I'm Anna" "I'm Danielle". They introduced them selves and found out they both are new. Anna who started before her decided to be her guide. As they were going to their classes they chatted, asking basic questions. Danielle knew she's found a new friend and remembered to pray.
