FIRST HIGH SCHOOL LOVE

One day, a girl named Kate went to her first
year of high school. She had long light brown
hair, which everyone wished to have, she
had hazel eyes and she could be one of the
tallest girls you could ever meet at the age of thirteen. Just like the other 200 students that were
starting high school with her, she was nervous.
When she turned thirteen in late December, her mum told her to wish for something very
special, something very important,that she wishes to have or experience.Without a doubt, Kate
closed her eyes and wished for a boyfriend, she wanted to experience what it felt like; she
wanted to be one of those few lucky girls that had a boyfriend. But since high school was aboutto
start and she will be meeting many new people, she thought thatthis was the rightmoment, she
was completely sure she will madly fallin love with somebody.
Many days passed which then turned into weeks, the first day of high school finally arrived.
Thatmorning, she took extra care with her hair and her appearance, after all, who doesn't want
to set a good first impression to the teachersand students? Kate began to get evenmore nervous
and more excited as she approached her new school. With a deep breath, her mum and herself
stepped through the school gate. The school wasmassive! Kate was speechless.
'Hello! You seem lost, you must be an 8th grader?' asked a kind teacher. He was greeting
everyone that came through the school gates and had the biggest grin on his face. Kate
immediately though they will get along.
'Umhey, my name is Kate and yes I'man 8th grader,' answered Kate with a smile.
Well hello Kate!I hope you like your new school! Over there is your 8th grade quad, you will be
spending there your entire year 8, soyou may proceed over there for starters.'
'Kate, don't forget to be a good girl and I will pick you up after school so don't go wondering off.
Good luck honey!' said Kate'smumand gave her a kisson the cheek.
'Byemum,' waved Kate.
Kate walked over to the grade 8 quad and discovered some of her classmates from her primary
school. But she was especially glad to see her 2 best friends, Lynette and Sue. Lynette was short
soshe had to look up at Kate to see her. She wasalso very skinny and came from the Philippines.
Sue wasabout 15cmshorter than Kate and came fromThailand. Both the girlshad long hair just
like Kate.
Kate ran up to both of her best friends and gave them each a hug. This was going to be a great
year, she thought.
10 minutes after her arrival,the first bell of the year rang, allthe new students gathered around
in their quad for the principle's announcement. The announcement took forever. The principle
kept on rephrasing everything she had said earlier, about how she wishes that all the students
will have a wonderfultime and a great year.
After that, everyone were sorted into form classes where the teachers would take the roll to see
whose here or absent. As Kate looked around the classroom,there was noone she knew until her
eyes stopped on a girl with braided hair. Shemust have had about 20 ofthose in her hair!Butthe
braidswasn't what Kate was excited about, she wasabsolutely sure thatthat was her bestfriend
fromyear 3.When Kate was in year 3, she had 2 bestfriends, Vicky and Vanessa,then all ofthem
moved todifferent schoolsand they haven't seen each other since.
'Vicky!' said Kate toa girl sitting near her.
'Huh? Kate? Is that you?' she replied.
'Yes itisme! How greattosee you!Who knew we would see each other again after somany years,
it hasbeen forever!'
Vicky was just speechless. The girls were so happy to see each other again. Though the next
siren interrupted their conversation,it was time togotoher firstlesson.
Surprisingly, Kate had no trouble finding her classes. The day started off with Woodwork, then
recess. After recess came Society and Environment and after that, English. Then came lunch and
another lesson of English. Totop it all off,the lastlesson wasScience. Though Kate was told off by
her new teacher at the start for having a drink outside the classroom while the actual teacher
was running late, straight away Kate knew she didn'tlike her or Science.
