first day of school

MY FIRST DAY AT SECONDARY SCHOOL

On the first day of school at Kent ridge, I was very excited as I would be going to school with strangers and at a totally unfamiliar environment. My friends in primary school went to Tanglin Secondary school. On the other hand, I applied for Kent Ridge Secondary school as first choice and was posted to it. My parents said that my friends were of bad company and since my brother is in Kent Ridge, I should go there too. I had no choice but to obey them.
When I stepped into the school early in the morning, I felt that the school was majestic. Maybe I was small at that time but everything looked extremely big, even the students looked extremely tall. The day started by gathering in the hall and a load of boring talks started. We were dismissed by Mr. Koh Suan Lam back to out classes. I had no sense of security because I knew nobody in class. As usual, the teachers told us to introduce ourselves to the class. A boy caught my attention by being very playful in class. Our work requires us to use a stapler but I had not brought one. I recalled seeing a stapler in that boy’s pencil case so I borrowed it from him. Meanwhile, I saw a name Kelvin written on it.
When I returned the stapler to that boy, I asked if his name was Kelvin and he answered me “yes” with a weird grin on his face. I felt that the name didn’t suit him but a name is just a name. I later found out that his name was Shi Hao and he kept laughing at me for being so gullible. After that, Shi Hao and I met a boy called Benjamin. We started to chat by watching the same show. That’s how the three of us became friends.
