Male Female

So I remember my first day at school very clearly. It was about nine years ago, when I was only seven years old. The school was full of people and everything felt so big and new. They took us to our classroom and explained what we had to do. We had some time for lunch, and as always, I couldn't say no to food. We went to the cafeteria and got something to eat. On my way back to the classroom, my best friend and I decided to have a running race. I was winning, but suddenly he disappeared. When I went into the classroom, I realized I was in the wrong room. I rushed to my seat, but the boy was already sitting there. We argued, and in the heat of the moment, I suddenly hit him with a metal pencil holder. Blood started coming from his hand, and I was really scared. The teacher came closer, and she didn't seem as nice as she did two hours ago. She started asking me questions, but I was already scared and started crying. Thankfully, my teacher came and comforted me. So my first day at school is a day I'll never forget. It was full of new experiences, emotions, and lessons that have stayed with me throughout my life.
