Monday, September 2nd
Today I started at my new school in Dublin. I wanted everything to be perfect. It was not perfect.
I waited at the bus stop at eight. A green bus arrived. I jumped on and smiled at the driver. I didn't check the number.
Twenty minutes later, I looked out of the window. I saw the sea. My school is not near the sea.
I walked to the front. 'Excuse me, does this bus stop at Hill Street?' The driver laughed. 'No, love. You're going the wrong way.'
I arrived at school at ten. Everyone turned and looked at me. One boy at the back didn't look up. He just pointed to the empty chair next to him.
He didn't say a word all day. Who is he?
