THANK YOU, FRIEND Chapter 1 (Part 1)

The sun shines brightly on Earth as the wind blows freely in the air and dried leaves scattered all over the ground. Memories are now kept in hearts and a new chapter is about to start. Summer holidays have always been the best part of the year to almost all the students.

Jenny Simpson, or mostly known as Jenny, is walking through the hallways, waiting if anyone would say “Hi” to her after a long summer holiday. She is in year 8 now and life as a Year 7 girl is not that easy. There are many hard times and obstacles that she had to go through last year. Like once, her arch enemy Ericka Evans spilled a bowl of hot soup from the cafeteria at her. And trust me, it wasn’t by accident! Ericka is a rich and arrogant but yet a smart, straight-A student. She never liked Jenny which to her is an arch enemy as Jenny is also a brainiac. She often gets jealous whenever Jenny gets to solve a problem while they were in the same class, especially during Math.

As Jenny is looking around, her two best friends Amy (Amelia Henderson) and Valentine (Valentina Roberts) surprised her with a pat on her shoulder. “Hey Jenny! So, how was your holiday in Paris? Must be super awesome right?” said Amy. “What about cute guys? I bet there are lots of them, huh?” continued Valentine. Jenny just cast a smile and replied “Well, it is fun. But looking at the way of their life as a teenager is kind of weird, though” Amy and Valentine just nodded with belief and started walking to class together with Jenny.

The first subject of the day was social studies and Mrs. Wright (Jarrell Wright) can be seen standing straight in front of the chalkboard while grabbing her waist, sternly.  Mrs. Wright isn’t only a social studies teacher but also the coach of the cheerios, the cheerleaders. Her loud voice has silenced the noises in the class and all of the students froze for a moment. “Sit down on my count to three or else it’s detention for two hours after school!” she ordered her students, clutching a cane tightly in her grip. Anger emerged on her pale and skinny face that looks like a 100 years old skeleton. She is extremely strict in her class but on the other side she’s a biased towards her cheerleaders.

After 1 hour of social studies, Jenny, Amy and Valentine headed out to the class and straight to the cafeteria to fill their empty tummies with an appetizing lunch. They queued in the long line patiently and Valentine started to murmur “Oh god! This queue is too long. When are we going to get our food? I’m starving already” Jenny and Amy just grinned, looking at their friend’s funny act. “Patience, darling! I haven’t heard of people died because they had to queue in a long line” Amy joked while trying to calm Valentine down….
