It was my first day in middle school. School already started 1 weeks ago and I was a new kid. I was nervous for my first day at the new school, but I was thrilled and excited as well. I was not that social and was scared to talk to other people. I was also afraid that people won’t like me because I had a weird accent. The day was going nicely and it was lunch when it all happened. I knew no one so I was sitting alone at a table.
The table was huge and had more than enough room for five people excluding me to sit. I was interested in Diary of the Wimpy Kid series at the time, so I checked it out at the library.

I just knew he liked me for who I really was. Before we knew it the lunch ended and Ben and I left the table and walked away. The table was quiet and lonely again and I was hoping to meet Ben again the next
