The first day of school was always an exciting time for Samantha, but this year was different. As she walked through the school gates, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She was the new kid in town, and she didn't know anyone.
Samantha's heart raced as she navigated the bustling hallways, trying to find her locker. She felt like all eyes were on her, and she couldn't shake the uneasy feeling in her stomach. When she finally found her locker, she struggled to open it, her hands trembling with anxiety.
As Samantha was trying to figure out her combination, a group of older students approached her. They were laughing and whispering to each other, and Samantha couldn't help but feel that they were talking about her. Suddenly, one of the boys stepped forward and snatched the notebook out of Samantha's hands.
"Hey, give that back!" Samantha cried, but the boy just laughed and tossed it to his friends, who started passing it around. Samantha felt her eyes fill with tears as she watched her precious notebook get tossed around like a toy. She wanted to run and hide, but she didn't want to give the bullies the satisfaction.
Just then, a teacher came around the corner and saw what was happening. The bullies quickly scattered, leaving Samantha's notebook on the floor. The teacher picked it up and handed it to Samantha, asking if she was okay. Samantha nodded, trying to hold back her tears, and the teacher escorted her to the principal's office.
As Samantha sat in the principal's office, she felt a mix of emotions. She was grateful that the teacher had stepped in, but she was also scared that the bullies might come after her again. She didn't know how she was going to get through the rest of the year, but she knew that she had to be strong.
