Samantha was excited and a little nervous as she walked through the doors of Maple Grove Elementary. It was her first day at a new school, and she wasn't sure what to expect. She had moved to a new town with her family over the summer, and now she had to start over in a different school.

As Samantha made her way to her classroom, she noticed all the other students chatting with their friends. She wished she had a friend to talk to, too. When she reached her classroom, the teacher, Ms. Johnson, greeted her warmly and showed her to her seat. Samantha sat down and began unpacking her backpack, trying to act confident even though she felt a little scared inside.

During the lesson, Samantha tried her best to focus, but she couldn't help glancing around the room at the other students. They all seemed to know each other already. When it was time for recess, Samantha hesitated, unsure of where to go or what to do. But then a girl named Emma walked up to her and said, "Hi, I'm Emma. Do you want to play with me and my friends?"

Samantha was so relieved and grateful. She smiled and said, "Yes, that would be great!" The two girls ran off to the playground together, and Samantha felt the weight of her worries start to lift. She was making a new friend, and that made her feel a lot better about her first day at Maple Grove Elementary.
