I've always been different:taller,smaller,fatter,spottier,smilier but definitely not beautifulier. I'm Theo and i'm 11.When i describe myself to people I just say i'm one of those geeks, you know from those soppy teen movies like high school musical.This is only because they don't understand and its easy to explain then giving my whole life story.Today is the start of year 7,a new chapter in the book of life and a new me.I'm not scared, just annoyed 6 weeks of staying inside really did damage me.My bag is so heavy i feel like i have Hegry (he's my cat!) sleeping inside.My "friends" are all coming to this school as well but I doubt they still are my friends.What makes a friend? someone who stands next to you in the lunch line or someone who hugs you when you cry. My uniform is so itchy,dark and big. I should properly get going I don't want to get detention!

As I stepped through the rusty metal gates all I could see was crowds of children some sitting,some standing and even some kissing.Is this what you do at secondary school or have I just arrived too early!I walk over to see a group of huddled girls.The one in the middle spoke to me and said her name was Jamie, she was in trouble.I grabbed her arm,making sure not to hurt her and we walked towards the battered,sandpapered doors.As we walked into our temporary form room too sit down,all of a sudden I was pushed to the ground by the Girls from outside.As I frantically looked for my glasses I felt a soft warm hand touch me it was Oscar the hottest guy in the whole world.After I found my glasses I stood up, said thank you then quickly ran over too join Jamie.Jamie was slouched over a wooden stool,tip toeing quickly i ran up to make her jump !There was another girl with her and she said her name was Clara.Apparently she and Jamie went to the same primary school.

After a mammoth amount of mac'n'cheese and lots of  laughs it was time to go home.Jamie hugged me tight,we said goodbye  to Clara and ran towards our mum's cars.

This was a new adventure for me, but at least I had someone by my side!
