The New Student

Monday morning is different at Yeşiltepe School. There is a new student in Class 5A. All the students look at the classroom door. Who is the new student?

The teacher smiles and opens the door. A girl walks into the classroom with a small backpack. She looks a little nervous, but she smiles.

“Good morning, everyone,” the teacher says. “This is Merve. She is our new student.”

Merve waves and says, “Hello. Nice to meet you.”

The students smile back. Some students wave. One boy sits very quietly near the window. His name is Can.

The teacher looks at Can.

“Can, this seat is empty. Merve, you are next to Can.”

Merve walks to her new desk.

“Hi,” Can says softly.

“Hi,” Merve answers.

“I am Can.”

“I am Merve.”

The lesson begins. Merve opens her notebook. Can sees a small sticker on the notebook. It is a little blue bird.

“That bird is cute,” Can says.

“Thank you,” Merve replies.

During the break, the classroom becomes noisy. Some students play games. Others talk with friends.

Merve sits alone for a moment.

Ayşe walks over with a big smile.

“Hi! I am Ayşe.”

“I am Merve.”

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, thank you.”

Ayşe smiles.

“Come with me.”

Merve stands up and follows her.

Merve looks at the classroom walls. There are colorful pictures and student projects everywhere.

Ayşe points to a picture on the wall.

“That is our class photo.”

Merve looks carefully.

“You all look happy.”

Can smiles for the first time.

“We are happy… and a little noisy.”

Everyone laughs.

Merve laughs too.

The lunch bell rings. Merve opens her lunch box. It is small.

Ayşe says, “I have two sandwiches. One is for you.”

“Really?” Merve asks.

“Of course!” Ayşe says with a smile.

The four friends sit together. They talk about school, music, football, and their favorite foods.

Merve is not nervous anymore.

She feels at home.

When the school day ends, Merve waves goodbye.

“See you tomorrow!” she says.

“See you, Merve!” everyone answers.

Merve goes home after school.

She smiles and looks back at the school.

“This is a good school,” she says.

She is excited for tomorrow.
