    After a hearty breakfast, Billy, dressed in his new school uniform, was ready to leave. He waved goodbye to his mom and set off, his little backpack bouncing on his back. He felt like a grown-up, stepping into the world outside.

    As Billy arrived at the school gates, he saw children of his age running around, their laughter filling the air. Everything looked so big and new to him, it felt almost overwhelming.

    His nerves started to settle as he met his teacher, Miss Clara. She had a warm smile and a soft voice that made Billy feel welcome. He liked her immediately.

    At lunchtime, Billy sat alone, looking at all the unfamiliar faces around him. Just then, a girl named Emily approached him, offering to share her sandwich. They quickly became friends.

    After lunch, they had a drawing class. Billy loved to draw. He drew a picture of his house, his family, and his new friend, Emily. His picture was praised by Miss Clara, which made him blush with joy.

    The day ended with a game of hide and seek in the playground. Billy and Emily hid together behind the big oak tree, giggling as they watched their classmates search for them.
