It was the first day of a new school year, and Samantha was feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. She had just moved to a new town over the summer, and this would be her first day at a new school. As she walked through the front doors, she couldn't help but notice all the unfamiliar faces staring back at her.

Samantha's heart raced as she tried to find her locker, fumbling with the combination lock. Just then, a friendly voice spoke up beside her. "Hey, you look a little lost! Can I help you find your way?" Samantha turned to see a boy with a warm smile, offering to assist her.

The boy introduced himself as Alex, and he quickly showed Samantha where her locker was and how to open it. He even walked her to her first class, making sure she knew where to go. Samantha was relieved to have found such a kind and helpful new friend on her first day.

Throughout the day, Alex made sure to check in on Samantha, introducing her to other students and making her feel welcome. At lunchtime, he invited her to sit with his group of friends, and Samantha was pleasantly surprised by how friendly and inclusive they all were.

By the end of the day, Samantha felt much more at ease in her new school. She was grateful to have found such a caring and supportive friend in Alex, and she knew that with his help, she would be able to navigate this new chapter of her life with ease.
