NEW HIGH-SCHOOL: THE FIRST DAY

Ash smiled and nodded, "Sure, Isleen. I'd love to be your friend."

Isleen beamed at him and grabbed his hand, leading him towards the entrance of their new high school. It was a big building with multiple floors, and students were already bustling around, trying to find their classes. Isleen seemed to know where she was going, though, and Ash followed her, feeling a bit nervous.

As they walked, Isleen pointed out various things to Ash, telling him about the school's history and traditions. She seemed to know a lot about the place, and Ash was impressed. He had transferred to this school after moving to a new city, and he didn't know anyone yet. Isleen was the first person to talk to him, and he was grateful for her kindness.

Finally, they arrived at their classroom, and Isleen introduced Ash to their teacher, Ms. Johnson. She was a kind-looking woman with graying hair and a warm smile. She welcomed Ash to the class and asked him to take a seat.

As Ash settled in, he looked around the room and noticed a few other students staring at him curiously. He felt self-conscious and wished he could disappear. But Isleen nudged him and whispered, "Don't worry, they're just curious. You'll make friends soon enough."

The class began, and Ash found himself struggling to keep up. The lessons were more advanced than what he was used to, and he felt like he was drowning in a sea of unfamiliar words and concepts. But Isleen was there to help him, whispering explanations and answering his questions.

After class, Isleen grabbed Ash's arm and pulled him towards the cafeteria. "Come on, let's get some lunch," she said. "I'll introduce you to my friends."

Ash followed her, feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety. He wasn't sure if he was ready to meet new people yet, but he trusted Isleen.

As they entered the cafeteria, Ash was hit by a wave of noise and activity. Students were chatting, laughing, and eating, and the smell of food filled the air. Isleen led him to a table where a group of girls were sitting, and introduced him to each of them.

Ash felt a bit overwhelmed by their energy and enthusiasm, but he smiled and tried to make conversation. They asked him about his interests and hobbies, and he told them about his love for music and video games. They seemed impressed and invited him to hang out with them after school.

As the day went on, Ash felt more and more at home in his new school. He had Isleen and her friends to talk to, and he was starting to understand the lessons better. He even found himself looking forward to the next day, eager to see what new adventures awaited him.

As he walked home with Isleen, he felt a sense of gratitude and happiness. He had found a new home in this strange city, and it was all thanks to her. He knew that he had made a friend for life.
