“School starts tomorrow!” my mum said,
“So put your pyjamas on, and early to bed!”

I moved another school because my father was promoted in his job and my family moved to the
town.
I felt so down.

I felt so strange and depressed when I arrived school.

The others in the class were looking at me and I missed all of my friends and teachers from old
school.

Each week, I didn’t talk anyone in the new class.

I phoned my friends every evening and they told me you’ll be happy soon.

I learned lots of lessons in groups and I became happy with them.

Now I feel excited to attend the school and they become my best friends.
