Standing up for new friends It was the most hottest day at Sacramento High school, I was glad they have an AC every time i get inside i feel cool and fresh. I was also glad my best friend came to this high school with me his name is Dominic Santiago but i call him in his nickname i gave him Dom for short to save time. It was homeroom and once i went inside the classroom i find an empty desk where i can’t sit next to new people i don’t know. My homeroom teacher was a woman named Mrs. Salasar who teaches biology.
She hand out our schedules which were our classes. when homeroom was over it was first period and so on until break or lunch once second period was over it was break and i found my best friend Dom who treats me like a brother. I yelled out his name across the hallway and once he heard me he also screamed across the hallway. “Hey joe” said Dom squishing through people to get over where i am. “Hey man long time no see” Dom said. “It’s only been a month and a halt” i said. ” which is really a long time” said Dom. So what’s your schedules.
We both look at each other’s schedules and i was relieved when Dom and i have four periods except for first and second but the rest were all good. I looked around the inside the school where a lot people i don’t know feel like i’m being judge by having one friend but then i turned to my right and saw this new kid which i really didn’t know of. He was alone the whole time. “Hey joe, wake up why are you sleeping on me” said Dom. “oh what i’m sorry what were you talking about” i said. He said to me in a tone of annoyed that he didn’t want to repeat himself but he did anyways.
I looked at the new kid and known his name, it was David from my homeroom. One week later the school already have football tryouts but i wasn’t complaining the past week was actually kind of good meeting new people most of them were nice in their own way. But i really don’t hang out with them i just hanged out with Dom. I told Dom that are you gonna try out football and he said no in a mad voice because he doesn’t want to change to a jerk like the other people who think they’re strong but in reality they’re weak. “That’s not how to make friends he said.
I agree with him, being a jerk to people is not how to make friends. It was monday the third week of school “Everybody’s favorite day of the week” i said. Once it was lunch i was with Dom like always i see three football players with their jerseys on, joking around like kids. One of them was pointing at David where his locker was at. I knew something bad was gonna happened until one of them drops his notebook down on the ground” ooops i’m sorry let me pick that up for ya” said the one that looks like the leader between them the other two.
He picked up the notebook and shoves him with force on his chest and the other pushed him to the ground and left. “Jerks” said Dom. I felt like we’re the jerk ones for not helping him out instead we stood there not doing anything watching him on the ground all dirty on the floor. It was Friday” Finally” i said. “Hey joe wanna come and get some pizza at the new restaurant after school” he said. I said yea Once school was done all the students rushed out and i could hear them stomping on the floor and i got out last with Dom.
I looked at my right and see David speed walking to some street where there’s barely any people and i also saw three football players rushing towards him to the same street. Dom and I decided to go David’s area just in case. I saw the three football players making a circle around David “Leave me alone what did i do to you” shout David. ” you coming to this school” said one of them. The three football pushed him around and one of punched him on his side to the ground.
David turns around with a dirt mark on his face until we stepped up. Hey leave him alone” i said. ” you know this loser, better yet who the heck are you two” said one of them. ” the one that’s gonna make you three expelled from this school” said Dom. ” Alright…. Alright” and they left. I can see on David’s face he was relieved. I stretched out my arm and said “you wanna get some pizza” He smiled like i changed his life. Even though i have one best friends i could of asked for there was room for to make another. No matter how much of a stranger you look, you can always make new friends.
