My Friend

In second grade I went to a different school named Denali. I didn't think I would make any friends, but I did! It's almost the first thing I did with my best friend today, Wes. It all happened like this.

It was the first day of school; I was scared. I came in and found my classroom. I walked in and saw a lot of kids playing and talking. I just found my seat and sat down. I didn't talk to anyone until recess.

I went outside and walked around for a couple of minutes. Then I saw some kids playing tag! I was scared to ask if I could play. I went up to a kid and said, "Hello, can I play tag?" And I happened to ask Wes.

He said, "Sure."

I wasn't in his class but every day we would go outside for recess and talk and play. We really got along and figured out that we don't live that far away from each other. He became my best friend.

And its all because I said hello and asked if I can play tag. That was the day I met and got my best friend, Wes. And now I have a lot of friends!
