First of all, from now on do not miss any class, because remember, this is college, and you are PAYING for these classes. Then next class after lecture is over go up to the professor, and say "Excuse me Mr ...or Miss .... I apologize for missing class on the 28th, it was because of circumstances beyond my control, but I would very much like to make up any work that I might have missed, I would really appreciate it if you could give me those assignments or tell me how I could get the notes for that day" Professors on the whole much rather a student cares about class and is up front with them, I know, I was a Professor a while back ...
Also just so you know, I don't know the rules at your college, but in mine, if one missed a certain number of classes the professor dropped you from the class...and you did not get a refund but got a incomplete or D grade automatically...so you might want to make sure about the rules because you might be able to only miss two or three more classes before they do something you wont like.

Take a chill pill -- relax trust me the first day of college is all about introduction and getting familier to people , environment and the premises. It is obviously an important day but u don't have to worry, u can easily get used to these things the second day too. People are so busy in themselves that they hardly notice who was present and who was absent unless they r ur best friends

Definitely find out what you missed. I missed my first day one time, and when test time came around, I was in big trouble. A lot of what was on one of the professor's test turned out to have been discussed on the first day! She was serious about getting down to business. I was in shock. It knocked my average down.

Come early to class and talk to the professor. Apologize for being absent and ask about any work you need to make up or notes you should get. Don't make lots of excuses or ramble on. Keep it short, sweet, and respectful.

I don't go to college but either way you're going to get in trouble i mean if you tell the truth they'll say it's an excuse and if you let it go they'll tell you off anyway so you might as well tell the truth but seen as it's your first day they might let you off with a warning.

Contact your professor ASAP. The course syllabus was probably handed out and important annoucements may have been made.

Wait for the teacher to ask you about it.
