New Homeroom

Today was Michael's first day in Mrs. Shehorn's homeroom class. He wanted me to take him to class in case there was any confusion about where he should be, and he was a little nervous. I drove him to school and walked him to class. Mrs. Shehorn welcomed Michael to her room and she and I chatted a little. I thanked her for allowing Michael to move to her class. I asked Michael if he was okay, and he started to tear up. I hugged him and told him everything would be okay. Mrs. Shehorn asked Michael where he wanted to sit. He told her and she made the boy sitting in that seat move. He still wasn't letting go of me and his face was getting redder and he was getting more upset. Then... Theo walked in. "Hey, Michael! Are you in our homeroom now?" Michael said yes and a bunch of the kids looked around and there were comments flowing like crazy. "Really?" "Cool!" "Wow! Michael's in our class now!" "Great!" I looked at Michael and the redness was going away and a big smile was taking its place. He hugged me bye and asked Mrs. Shehorn which locker was his. I left and didn't hear a word from the school all day.
