'phew,' I thought. 'I won't have to wait any longer.' I then said to Ally,

"Do you want me to grab your schedule?" I asked quietly.

"Sure." Ally said, and she pulled a sci-fi book out of her bag and started to read. And as I walked up to the front of the class, I tried to keep my head a little bit low so that Malissa would not look at me and make a snide remark if the had the gut. 

And once I got up to the front of the classroom, I grabbed mine and Ally's schedule and said, 

"Hello," I said. 

"Oh hi!" The teacher said with a warm smile. "How are you doing?" 

"I am doing good," I replied. "How are you?" 

"I am doing great thank you!" The teacher said. "What is your name? You can call me Ms. Pennycuff." 

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Pennycuff," I said. "My name is Maddy."

"Why nice to meet you, Maddy." Ms. Pennycuff said. 

"I am going to go sit down now," I said. "Nice talking to you." 

And as I walked back to where I had been sitting, I looked at Malissa and saw that she was looking at me, with a bit of a frustrated expression on her face. 

'she must be mad about me talking with the teacher, for some reason.' I thought. 'At least I so far am on good terms with Ms. Pennycuff. What a cool name.' 

Once I sat down, I handed Ally's schedule to her and looked at my own. I scanned through, just to see what classes in general I had and saw that I had a class called 'Music appreciation'. 

'I wonder what class that is.' I thought. I then looked at what classes I would have today. 

There were five columns. I looked at the one that was titled' day one' because today is the first day of school. I saw that my first class today would be Music Appreciation. 

'Cool.' I thought. 'Even though I don't know what that means yet. But I am still pretty excited to find out.' 

I looked at the next classes that I would be having today and saw that I would also be having Math, English, and Art. 

I had never really drawn that much, but I could say that I am pretty decent at it. But Ally would say that I am really good. But mainly all that I would draw would be small and short comic strips. But I have never really liked to draw a lot. 

I also really like math. I do not know why, but math is pretty fun, and whenever I do math, I feel kinda happy. And I never feel stressed, and I always know the answers to any math question. As long as I can do the equation on paper. But sometimes I can do them in my head. 

And I really like English class, because last year in sixth grade, we did a lot of reading. And when I read a good fiction book, I feel like I am in a completely different world. As if I am in the book itself. 

Then I carefully looked over to see what classes Ally would have today and saw that she has Orchestra, Math, English, and Art. 

'Sweet' I thought. 'At least she has Orchestra, just like she wanted. And we probably have the last three classes together. There are different knowledge levels after all.' 

"Okay, class." Ms. Pennycuff said. "Let's begin."
