The Day I Met My Best Friend

It was the first day of school, i was so excited to be going to the first grade but also at the same time i was scared out of my mind. the reason for this is because i was very shy i wasn't the type of kid to walk up and introduce myself to another student or anyone for that matter. but hey i guess there is a firts for everything because that's how i met my best friend.

I attended washington park elementary school my mom walked me half way to my class untill i realized no one else's mom walked them to class so i let her know, i was ok and could walk to class own my own she looked at me with a very surprised look on her face as if she was stund about what i said then she asked if i was sure i said yes, then walked down that really long hallway, that felt as if the closer i got to the door the further it was from me. when i got to the door there was a lady standing there smiling from ear to ear,"hi, i'm ms. coley," she said in a very joyful kind of way. then she showed me to the carpet. there on the carpet were alot of kids i sat next to a girl who was just sitting there as quiet as could be when i sat down she looked at me and smiled. i looked at her smiled back and said "HI, my name is khadijah," what's yours? " i;m brianna" she said. i asked if she wanted to be my friend she replied yes. Ms. coley noticed how well we work together or get along, she gave us assigned seats right across from each other. after a while of all this easy first grade work it was lunch time. there was a great deal of disappointment because of alphbatical order which is, when we line up by the first letters in our last names. almost everyone was sad because no one was next to whom they wanted to be. including brianna and i. after lunch we had recess brianna and i played together and we had also made other friends some even a little older than us.when we got back to class there was a work sheet that had to be completed, there for brianna and i worked together to complete it. then our teacher anouced that it was time to go. she gave us permission to go to the closet to grab our things and line up then we were dismissed to go home or the iunch room for the after school program.
