Question

The First Day
Daniel felt as if he was being swallowed alive as he walked down the rowdy corridor and squainted
through the thick lenses of his spectacles at the school hall beyond. The corridor was like the throat of
a terrifying beast and he was sliding down it into the big belly that was the school hall,
He knew what would happen when he got there. All the new pupils, like himself would be sitting
5 in rows waiting for the headmaster to make his welcome address. The headmaster at St Joseph's was a
towering, severe man who could strike fear into any pupil. He was not a man who would put up with
any nonsense whatsoever. Daniel knew this. He knew it because when Mr Graham was not busy being
the headmaster, he was busy being Daniel's dad. Now, of course, his dad would be able to do both
simultaneously and Daniel was sure that he would never hear the end of it from his dassmates. He felt
10 thoroughly miserable; he was never going to make any friends.
"Hello," a voice said behind him. "You must be new too. My name's Rachael."
The girl was stunning. She thrust her hand out confidently towards Daniel, while he gaped at her.
"Dennis!" he blurted, finally shaking her hand, "I mean... Daniel. My name's Daniel."
"Don't you know your own name?" Rachael laughed. She didn't seem to be nervous at all
15 "You're the head teacher's son, aren't you? Everyone says he's intimidating but my brother Tom,
who's in the year above us, says that his bark is worse than his bite. It'll be weird for you, calling your
dad 'Sir', won't it?"
"Yeah, I suppose," Daniel mumbled. He couldn't believe his luck: Rachael wanted to be his friend.
Daniel thought secondary school might not be so bad after all.​
