My name is Juliet Kowalska and I'm 13 years old. I was born in Warsaw, Poland but two years later I moved to Ireland. I lived there for 7 years and then I travelled back to Warsaw to live there for 4 years.
Now I live in London and tomorrow is my first day of school. I will be heading to year 9 and I'm a bit worried. As a shy girl I'm worried that I might end up being lonely. Everybody in my class will know each other by now, so I will need to do my best to get to know anyone. And that's not the easiest thing to do. I'd rather be stuck in a cage with lions then getting to know some random people.

I woke up at 6:45 am, It's Wednesday the 16th of September. I just got a place in the local school, the school year already started a week ago. I got out of bed took a quick shower and put on my new school uniform. I don't know what to think of it, I had knee high black socks and a black skirt that didn't reach my knees no matter how hard I tried. I also wore a white shirt and a black jumper with no sleeves. There were no ties which I was grateful about because I don't know how to tie a tie.
I went downstairs and into the dinning room while putting my hair up in a messy bun. My mother already sat at the table going through her newspaper and drinking coffee. My dad has already went to work.
"Good Morning Julia" said my mom whilst looking up at me with a smile on her face.
"Morning" I answered back while going over to the kitchen and taking out a bowl and some cereal.
I placed some cereal into the bowl before pouring over them with some cold milk. I took my bowl to the dinning table and sat in front of my mother. I started to eat.
"Are you ready?" She asked
I nodded.
"Good, do you know which bus you should take?" She asked and I nodded again.
Since we only just moved here 2 weeks ago my parents still didn't buy a car so I was left to take my first ever journey to school by bus and I wasn't even sure where my school was.
"When you arrive at school go straight to reception and they will pair you up with someone to show you around school." My mom said whilst glancing at the clock. "You should get going now school starts in an hour and it will take you forty minutes to get to school with the traffic and giving the fact that we live so far away from your school."
"I know Mother" I told whilst finishing my cereal and I went upstairs to get my stuff and brush my teeth.
When I got back downstairs my mum was already waiting for me.
"Have a nice day sweet heart" She gave me a hug before I left and went to the bus stop.

I arrived at school at 8:10. I saw many children walk through the main gates and I was trying to see if I could make a prediction of who is in my year. As I walked through the main gates I could feel all eyes on me. I pushed the thought back by telling myself they couldn't possibly know that I'm new. I went to the schools reception, it was a small little space with just a one big desk on the side and then a big door that led to the main school building.
"Can I help you?" Asked the receptionist as I entered
"Ummm... yes" I said in a quiet voice.
I don't like talking to strangers, it makes me feel really anxious. I had to try my best however. I'm the only person I can depend on to survive this day.
"What do you need?" The receptionist gave me a warm smile which made me feel a bit more comfortable.
"I'm new and this is my first day here." I answered
