Do you still remember what happened on your first day of senior high school？ I still remember my first day of senior high school. On that day， I hurried to my science class in the morning and found a seat in the back. I waited there for 15 minutes before the bell rang. The science teacher told us some class rules. No one talked to me. Nor did I talk to anyone else. I was one of those very shy girls. After the science class， I had an English class. I figured it would be boring but it turned out to be very funny.

When the classes of the morning ended， I went to lunch. I sat outside the dining room with no one to talk to and no food because I was too nervous to join the lunch line. I kept looking around， hoping to see someone I knew but I never saw anyone.

Lunch ended and I went to have my art class. I was the first one there and even my teacher was not there yet. So I sat at my desk and started drawing some pictures. I didn’t notice the rest of my classmates walking in or the girl that was standing behind me till I was surprised by the voice， “So what are you drawing？” It was a girl who had really long hair. She ended up being my best friend and one of the kindest and liveliest girls I knew.

In the next class meeting， the teacher asked us to talk about the past holiday. I was glad to make some new friends in the class. The first day of senior high school was hard for me but I got through it.
