My first day of school in secondary one

Secondary one was one of my most enjoyable times t had in my five years here. We had many fun and memorable times together. Looking back, we were all so immature then, all we wanted was to have fun.
I recall four years back, on the first day of school, all the teachers treated us like little angels all properly attired; boys with short neat hair and girls with their hair neatly pinned up.As I entered the classroom, I looked around me trying and hoping to see familiar faces. But ended up seeing a host of unfamiliar faces one after another. When turned to the last person who entered the class, I sighed to myself feeling slightly disappointed and rather lonely. So I looked for an empty seat and grabbed it. After getting seated, I started to look around again hoping to have someone friendly to sit beside me. A little boy, slightly too little for a secondary one student walked towards me and grabbed the seat beside me. And there was silence, then I started to wonder if I should greet him and him to introduce himself, before I could even say a word, he greeted me and asked for my primary school. I continued our conversation by asking the usual questions. Just before we could finish our conversation, our form teacher interrupted it by asking us to line up outside the classroom. The friendly councilors then brought us to many different parts of the school and introducing them to us…
