“Bye Mom!” I yelled as I got out of my car and headed toward the sixth grade line in front of the containers.  Mr. Penn came out, and as he did every morning sad enthusiastically,

            “Good morning sixth grade!”

            “Good morning Mr. Penn,” We all sing-songed back.  He stepped aside and we all ran into our class to unpack and get our stuff ready.

            “Class!” Mr. Penn said, “I have an important announcement to tell you after lunch, but I want to keep you wondering until then. Now, who wants to lead our song?”

            “Me!” Sarah yelled, then started stomping and clapping and singing, “This is they way, hey we start the day…”

            After lunch we were all sitting eagerly waiting for Mr. Penn to make his announcement. All day I was wondering what the news was, and everyone had been talking about it.

            “Class,” Mr. Penn said, “my announcement is that we are going to have a new student!”  The class immediately erupted with yells and talking.  Having a new student was so exciting!  Mr. Penn continued,

            “His name is Benji and he is from Texas.  He is coming tomorrow for the last half of the day to meet you all.”  All the rest of the day everyone was talking.

            “He’s from Texas; I think he’ll be cute.”  Genesis said.

            “All the Texans I’ve seen are white, blonde, and have tons of freckles, and blue eyes.”  I said.  “He’ll probably look like that…”

            “We haven’t had a new boy in our class for a long time.”  Celina added.

            “I still think he’ll be cute.”  Genesis said.

            “Well, we’ll know what he looks like tomorrow I guess…”

            The next day at school everyone was so excited!  We were all going to meet the new boy today!  After lunch the new boy came to our class.  We all went outside to greet him, and I was so surprised!  He had dark brown hair, dark skin, brown eyes, and no freckles.  He was exactly the opposite of what everyone thought he would look like!

            “Wow, we were all wrong! He’s the exact opposite of what I thought he would look like!”  I said to Celina and Sarah.

            “Yeah, I thought he’d be blonde, and blue eyed,” sighed Celina.

            “Oh well, maybe next year we’ll get a blonde haired and blue eyed Texan!”  Sarah said hopefully.

            “Yeah, maybe we will…”

            We went back inside and played some games with the whole class to get to know the new kid.  It turned out he was in the same group I was in for a game we were playing in history class.  Benji ended up fitting in fine with the class and the rest of the year went by pretty normally.
