Question

Diary writing at my first day at new school

Answer 1

Dear Diary,

Today was my first day at Benedict Brown School. Dad drove us to school. We didn’t have the uniforms yet so I had to wear my normal clothes. He left us [my sister, Bonny, and I] at the front office. The head of year 8 took me around the school.  I didn’t know where we were going and then we walked into a classroom full of kids and I felt so embarrassed. All eyes were on me – the new girl, wearing different clothes.

The teacher, Mr Pontebury, asked the class who wanted to look after me. Some girls near the back put their hands up. So did some girls near the front of the class. He put me with the ones at the front. They were alright. Their names were Sonya, Erica, Janet and Clara. Sonya took me under her wing for the day. I sat with them for all of my classes. They sit at the front of the class for everything. I hate that. I hate having people looking at the back of my head! It feels like whenever someone laughs they are laughing at me.

At lunch time Sonya introduced me to a boy called Andy. She asked me if I thought he was good-looking – RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM! Of course I said ‘No’! I was so embarrassed. He was  ‘fit’ though.

There are lots of good looking boys in my class. They seem to talk more with the other group of girls though that sit at the back of the class. Now I wish Mr Pontebury had put me with them. These girls I’m with aren’t very cool.
