"CAN YOU EAT QUICKLY, BECAUSE I GOT A BUSY SCHEDULE AND YOU GOT TO GET TO SCHOOL EARLY. YOU DON'T WANT TO START YOUR FIRST DAY LATE."
"Whatever you say, mom." Now instead of eating your waffles peacefully, I had to gobble them up in a flash. Minutes later, I finished my meal, not even feeling the satisfying flavor on my taste buds.
"GOOD JOB, HONEY. NOW LET'S GET TO THE CAR." I jump onto my mother's hand and wander off to the car.
I see before me my mom's cherry-red toyota. She first buckles me up in the passenger seat. After she makes sure I'm tight enough to not get loose, she locks the door and walks to the driver's seat. She starts the car and begins driving. It was silent for the first 15 minutes, until I spoken up.
"Mom?"
"YES, DEAR?"
"Can you turn on the radio?"
"SURE." She changed to my favorite station. It still felt quiet, so I kept on talking.
"Mom, I still don't understand why I need to go to an all-girl school. What's wrong with a normal high school?"
"WELL, SWEETIE, YOU KNOW HOW BOYS CAN BE. THEY CAN BE ROUGH, DANGEROUS, CAUSE TROUBLE, UNTRUSTING, LYING, CAN'T TAKE CARE OF A FAMILY, NO GOOD, SON OF A BI-"
"Mom!"
"SORRY, DEAR... I JUST THINK GIRLS ARE MORE TRUSTING AND CARING AND... OH, YOU'LL FIGURE IT OUT WHEN YOUR STUDYING THERE."
"Whatever you say." Few minutes later, I saw the School grounds."This didn't look anything like the brochure. There was a storm in the area."
"HMM, MUST BE A QUICK WEATHER CHANGE... WELL JUST BECAUSE IT DOESN'T LOOK NICE, DOESN'T MEAN IT'S DANGEROUS. SHEESH MIKEY, YOU CAN BE SO JUDGING SOMETIMES."
"Sorry mom"
"WELL WERE NOT GOING TO GREET THE PRINCIPLE IN HERE. LET'S GO." So me and my mom went inside.
As we entered the educational building, the first thing I noticed was the girls, staring at me. I heard some of their gossip-filled voices.
"HEY, THAT'S THE NEW KID."
"WHO'S THE FREAK?"
"I HOPE HE'S NOT GOING TO ENROLL HERE. HE COULDN'T SURVIVE THE DAY." I was feeling a little sad inside, hearing all the insults. It wasn't long until I was inside the main office. I see an annoyed blonde chewing on some bubble gum.
"UMM, EXCUSE ME?" My mom asked. The blonde was just chewing her gum. "HELLO?" The blonde was still chewing! "HEL-"
"OMG! WHAT DO YOU NEED?!"
"I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHERE THE PRINCIPLE'S OFFICE IS.."
"DOWN THE HALL, SECOND DOOR TO THE RIGHT! NOW LET ME BE!"
"OK! OK!" My mom walk down the hall in anger. "WHAT'S HER PROBLEM?" "I don't know, mom. Let's just keep going. Maybe the principle would be a little nicer."
"SHE BETTER BE!" Then you both proceed through the door.
"UMM...HELLO?"
"OH, HELLO. YOU MUST MS. SHRIPO. I'M MS. LOLLI."
"HELLO MS. LOLLI."
"NOW WHERE'S THE NEW GUY?" My mom lifted me, and I saw a hispanic lady in shock. "WHY, HE'S JUST AN INCH TALL!"
"YES, I KNOW"
"YOU KNOW I HEARD OF ANOTHER KID WHO WAS AS SMALL AS HIM." I was amazed! Was there really another kid who has lived the life of being one inch tall?!
"REALLY, MS.LOLLI?"
"I'M SURE. HIS NAME WAS UMM...UHH.... OH YEA. PHIL BEMINE. I DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT HIM, THOUGH. HE WENT TO ANOTHER ALL-GIRLS SCHOOL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM EITHER. HE PROBABLY DROPPED OUT OR GRADUATED OR SOMETHING."
"OK THEN."
"WELL I SHOULD TAKE LITTLE MIKEY OFF YOUR HANDS. I'LL BE DELIGHTED TO TAKE HIM TO HOMEROOM."
"NO PROBLEM. HAVE FUN ON THE FIRST DAY, HONEY." My mom then hands me over to Ms. Lolli. "LOVE YOU. BYE." Then I see her out the door.
"OK, MIKEY LET ME SET ONE RULE FOR YOU!" What happened to Ms. Lolli?! She was just nice a second ago! "IF YOU DO ANYTHING, AND I MEAN ANYTHING, TO VIOLATE THE GIRLS HERE, YOU WILL BE PUNISHED SO BADLY, YOU PROBABLY WON'T LIVE TO TELL THE TALE! FOLLOW THAT RULE AND ENJOY YOUR STAY."
"Ye..Ye..YES Mam!"
"GOOD. NOW LET ME SHOW YOU YOUR HOMEROOM." She then takes me out the door and into the halls.
Me and Ms. Lolli into a room, which the class was quietly reading as the teacher was doing attendance.
"SORRY TO INTERRUPT, MS. TAMAL, BUT YOU GOT A NEW STUDENT HERE."
"IS IT THE SPECIAL ONE?"
"YES."
"OH, GOODIE. LEAVE HIM WITH ME. I'LL TAKE CARE OF HIM NOW."
"OK. CONTINUE YOUR DUTY." I was handed to the Jamaican woman, looking ready to make an announcement.
"LADIES, I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO THE SPECIAL STUDENT I WAS TALKING ON AND ON ABOUT LAST WEEK. I WOULD LIKE YOU ALL TO MEET MIKEY SHRIPO."
"HI, MIKEY." The class say in a flirtish voice.
"Umm... hi?"
"OK. MIKEY, WHY DON'T YOU TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF?"
"WELL I'M JUST A TEEN WHO JUST WANTS TO LIVE A NORMAL LIFE, NOT BE TREATED LIKE AN INSECT, AN-"
"GREAT TO HEAR, MIKEY!" It wasn't nice Ms.Tamal interrupted me, but I just dealed with it. "OH, AND YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHERE YOUR GOING TO SIT."
"Where?"
