Laurel woke up to the sound of her banging alarm. She was startled but excited to start her first day of middle school. Her outfit was ready, and her lunch was packed. She even bought new pens and notebooks for the new school year.

As she sat on the bus in her new clothes, she started to feel nervous. What if she didn't like her teachers? What if middle school was too hard? What if she didn't have anyone to sit with at lunch? Laurel could feel her stomach churning with fear. Then, at the next stop, her best friend, Norma, got on the bus. As Norma sat right next to her, Laurel knew everything would be okay as long as she had her best friend.

Norma's arrival and presence on the school bus is the resolution. Laurel is extremely anxious as to what her new school held for her, although, as soon as she saw her best friend she knew she'd be fine. This was because she knew Norma would always be there to support her and would share the same experiences as her at the school.
