First Day

My First Day of High School

On my first day of high school, I thought it would be a mess and it was.

The halls were so cluttered that I felt like I was in a stampede. The cafeteria was crowded, very crowded. The wait to buy food was worth it. The tator tots smelled great, the pizza smelled fantastic, as all pizza does.
When I got my food my friend Kyle said, “You waited that long for pizza and potatoes? They don’t look that good.”

“They are.” I said and put more tots into my mouth. It got silent and I looked around and saw my cousin looking right at me.

“Hey!” He said. I always get those awkward feelings when my cousin is hanging out with me and my friends are right next to me. My cousin doesn’t like my friends and they don’t like him.

“Hey Joe. What’s up?” I asked, my friends just sort of looked down and ate.

“Uhh nothing much, I got to leave Brendan, see you later.” He said and left. As soon as he left my friend Alec asked if that was my cousin. I of course said yes but it still felt like Joe was still there, I jerked my head around and saw the next table, then as I turned back slowly I saw him outside the cafeteria with his friends. I felt my pizza and it was getting cold I hurried up and ate it, it was delicious. Then, I attacked my tators. They were very tasty too, but hotter than the pizza. As soon as my cousin left the awkward feeling never went away and everyone at the table still was dead silent, the rest of the people in the cafeteria seemed to be screaming.

I always hate when it’s silent and nothing to talk about. Nothing is really going on with sports besides football which some of my friends hate. There is nothing to talk about in the news. Then we talked about our schedules and high school, and how I waited so long for my food.

I thought about the lunch I got and, I thought it was worth the wait. When Lunch was over I went back to 4th hour and went through the rest of what seemed to be an endless day.
