New Girl in School

I walked, well really I wheeled behind my new principal as he pointed out different classrooms in the English wing.

“And here is your homeroom, Minnie!” My principal smiled at me and then turned to take my mom back down to the office.

I watched them go until they turned a corner and couldn’t be seen anymore. Then I took a deep breathe and opened the door.

“Hello?” The teacher asked sternly. I smiply wheeled up o her and handed her the note Prinicpal Badger had instructed me to give her. “Oh! I see. Well welcome to our school, Minnie! Children?”

The class mumbed a welcome at her compand. I just sat there at the front of the room with my new books on my lap waiting to be told where to sit. Ms. Mar hadn’t seemed to notce I didn’t move yet because she went back to the board.

“Ms. Mar..?” I asked hesitantly.

She looked at me and said, “Oh, I’m sorry. Uhm.. You can go sit beside Dustin. Dustin raise your hand for Minnie.” I sat at the long desk being quiet and honestly trying to pay attention.
