Bella

Bella walked up to the door of the classroom, double-checking her schedule to make sure that this was the right place. The first class listed was math, followed by science. She took a seat towards the front of the class, tugging her textbook and notebook out of her backpack. Soon the teacher asked everyone to introduce themselves. She watched as Josive, Jared, and Flippy said their introductions. She thought that it was cool that there were people from so many countries here. She would have to talk to them later to find out more about them. Bella had always been interested in culture and geography.

Then she was up next. Bella rose to her feet. "Hello everyone," she said confidently with a smile. "My name is Bella, and I am from New Hampshire in America. I just got here a few days ago. I am looking forward to meeting everyone," she said as she sat back down. Soon introductions were finished. She started reading her textbook and tried to follow along with what the teacher was saying. Math wasn't her strong suit. As she worked she noticed that Flippy, the kid sitting in front of her was drawing something in his notebook. She grinned slightly, amused. She had done the same thing many times before at her old school. *It's good that there are other artists here*, she thought.
