First day of school ? memoir
By: Justin McPherson

My mom shouted ?Bye Justin!? as I slammed the door behind me. As I dashed to the bus stop I realized that I was actually not as late as I first thought. Phew! A sigh of relief as me and everyone else piled onto the bus I stepped in a big puddle. Not just an ordinary puddle but the kind of puddle that you would only find on the side of the road. I guess I would call it a road puddle. My brand new shoes were ruined! How would the other kids judge me would they think I was poor because of my dirty shoe? As I got off the bus at 7-11 I marched triumphantly towards my school when I realized I had quite the conundrum I didn?t seem to know anyone else who was at the school. At first I thought oh yeah it will be easy to find people I know! But coming from one of the smaller schools it wasn?t as easy as I thought. But after a good round of searching I had found a few of my friends from elementary school. But I had found far more of my enemies. Well at least my first problem was solved we proceeded to get a good look at the sheet on the wall that showed our home room numbers perfect the people I knew and were friends with were in my home room which made it a lot easier I mean sure I didn?t have any problems making friends or anything but c?mon a guys gotta have his pals! So the first part was easy we talked about all this junk about how not to worry if we were late for our first classes and whatnot. So I made my way to my first class which was science not bad the teacher had some bad jokes but hey the guy had potential. My next class which was far more exiting was electronics boy was that ever boring I was hoping all day that it would be a fun class but we had to focus on safety and answer everyone questions whether they were stupid or not. So the school day went easy but on my way home I got off at the wrong spot which had caused my mom to worry because she knew I had a bad sense of direction and she had called the house and nobody had answered.
