A NEW TOWN

We got to Holden and to our new place and as soon as we got there I didn’t feel right at all. I stepped into the house, I felt as though I was something wasn’t right about this place. We got settled in and the first night we were there I didn’t sleep. I didn’t feel like I belonged in Holden. It just wasn’t the place for me, but I didn’t really have a say on where we were going to live. I knew I was going to be here for a while.
A few weeks’ later conversations about school were being brought up. So my and my mom went to go see what school I would be going to. I was going to be starting 6th grade. At first we went to the wrong one then we pulled into the parking lot of Mountview Middle School. It looked like a jail, and I was being summoned to death there, that’s almost how it was. I went in it didn’t look bad from inside; mom and I went to the office to sign me up for that school. I didn’t know what to expect…
Soon the summer ended and the day came when I had to go to this new school. I was so nervous I didn’t know anyone, so I was scared no one would like me and that I would have no friends. The night before my first day I was just thinking what is going to happen? Then I said to myself “ ill walk in confidant, fearless, under control not nervous”. I went to sleep.
