First Day

Few I thought as I got to my locker. My First day of High School was finally over. I grabbed my language arts stuff feeling good. I had gone through the whole entire day without forgetting where my class was, getting lost, or not remembering my locker combination. I wasn’t even late to class.

As I walked out the doors and down the steps I realized that I had no idea where my bus was parked. I saw a group of people huddled around a pole and quickly walked up to it. On the pole was a taped piece of paper with a list of the busses and where they were parked. I scanned the list and looked for the letters AW, but they weren’t their.

I pulled out my phone and text her “where r u”. A few seconds later she replied “on the bus”. I got a huge sinking feeling in my stomach the size of the Titanic.

The day was going great, nothing had gone wrong, I thought that I had made it through the whole day, but then something I wasn’t even worried about messed it up. I thought about walking home since I only lived a little more than a mile from school but I decided to call my grandpa. I spread the news, and the others called for a ride. Five long minutes latter my grandpa arrived and I hopped in the car feeling a bit embarrassed. I couldn’t believe that I missed
