From the perspective of "the new kid"

Dear diary,
Today was another troublesome day at school. When I got out of bed, I felt like reclining and getting some more shut-eye. I used to never feel this way about school, but that explains how these past few days have been faring. As for today, it wasn't much better than all the other days at my new school.
When I got to school, I went to my locker and got my books for class, with the careless one whose locker is above me dropping their books on me. In my first class, I had my first test at my new school. I studied the night before, and I feel as if I did well. In my second class, someone sitting next to me was annoying me the entire time. I told him to shut up and all, and then he got absolutely livid about it, and I got kicked out of class for some reason. Never had I seen such a thing. Things only got worse at lunch. When I was eating, I looked away from my food for a second at one time. When I looked back at my food, it seemed as if someone had spit in it. It was quite abhorrent. I can't believe the nerve of some people.
As you can see, my day was far from how it would have been like last year. Last year, I was at my old school with my old friends. Now, I feel like such an outcast on a daily basis. They say it's all about first impressions. I think I made a pretty modest first impression myself, so I wonder what more those jerks want from me. Of course, I haven't spoken with everyone. Chances are that there is a nice person out there. I just have to come out of the closet and begin socializing a bit more. Yet, it isn't always that easy. Wherever you go, you will almost always meet up with those mean types. It's all about how you deal with them that makes them a threat to a certain degree. Perhaps telling that guy to shut up was not the best choice I could have made. I know, I'll make it up to him. I just want friends and to be respected, and sometimes, that is how such things start.
Stressed out,
New guy
