I entered the classroom for the first time in my life and this was the first time seeing these many children of the same age groups collected together. My eyes swept through the entire classroom looking for any familiar faces in the hope of finding someone I may have known during my small life till now but all I saw were children with different faces and characteristics, I have never met them nor have I ever have a talk with them but still there was a feeling of similarity between us, this feeling was really new to me as I have never lived in a community of children this big till now, still it was really warm feeling, and now I know why family wanted me to stay in school for half a day for my upcoming years even though I can learn at home.
While I was just feeling this comfortable environment with all my senses activated Ian brought a few students to me and introduced me "Hey this is Alex, our new classmate who is joining us from this year onward. Also, Alex, these are my few old friends who have helped me till now. You can also be friends with them."
I smiled and extended my hands to shake with them as a gesture of accepting friendship. "Hey I am Alex, I am new and this is my first year in any school and thus I have not experienced any rules and regulations of the school, so I'll be dependent on your friends"
They were clearly surprised to know that I'll be attending school for the first time in my life until now. Thus, they preferred to re-confirm and asked: "Are you really attending school for the first time?"
I nodded and confirmed, "I am really attending school for the first time and up until now I was taught all the subjects by my mother."
They said, " You must be a really smart student as you can learn everything till grade 1 all by yourself without attending any school if it were us we would have never been able to do any of that all by ourselves."
I replied, " Friends I am really not that smart since I was all alone in my house, rather than learning and reading there was nothing else I can do this I spent my time only learning and currently I have read everything till grade 5 and will soon be starting with grade 6 course."

They were stunned, if earlier they were considering me only a genius now I was a monster in human skin standing in front of them they yelled, "Whoa!!, Alex you are… are you really a mortal like us or are you an immortal who was hiding in a cave before and now you have come outside to enjoy the new mortal world."
I was really not trying to laugh and then I told them, "I am a mortal like you. Hahaha but guys you people are quite imaginative, you thought of me as an immortal hahaha..."
Ian interrupted, " Okay, let's drop this topic and help Alex find a seat to sit down before our homeroom teacher arrives."
Stephen, one of the guys whom Ian brought told, "Yeah we should really help him find a seat to sit but I think we would have to wait for our homeroom teacher."
I and Ian at the same time "WHY?"
Stephen continued, "because there are no empty seats left to sit, so we'll have to wait for her to get a new seat allocation plan for the classroom."
Ian nodded in understanding.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Hey why you lot are standing near the door, haven't you heard the bell ringing?"
We were surprised, we turned our head to see a beautiful lady of about 24 years was walking toward us, before I can ask out of my curiosity that who she is, Ian shouted "Good Morning Teacher!, we have got a new classmate this year but there were no empty seats for him to sit thus we were helping him find a seat to sit."
The teacher nodded in understanding and told us, "Ok you people sit on your seats. I know Alex, Vice Principal told me about him, so I'll allocate him a seat."
My new friends just nodded and then went back to their seats without speaking a word further. This homeroom teacher was really strict to every batch thus everyone knows it's better to listen to her and not interact with her any further.
Miss Stella, my homeroom teacher once glanced at me from head to toe then started looking around the classroom in order to find a seat for me. She was looking around then suddenly she stopped and pointed at a seat in the first column and told me
" Go, sit there beside that student there's still a place for a student. In our school students always sits in pair to increase socialization."
I nodded and turned toward the desk teacher was pointing at and was about to step forward but was extremely shocked the moment I saw whom I was going to sit with. It was like a lightning bolt struck me.
