After leaving Mr.Parkson's office I went back to the black nest we call Ms.Geven's classroom. Before entering I felt a rush of negative energy, or maybe it was a cry for help. who knows?

Not repeating the same mistake twice, I knocked on the door. I heard Ms.Geven responding to me to come in. When I entered the classroom again, those millions of eyes returned. All of them stared at me in disbelief. I could hear some of them talking amid the commotion."He's alive", and "He survived the principle of anarchy as well". The principal sure racked up an intimidating persona in this school. Ms.Geven was also in disbelief of why was I in one piece."What are you doing back in my classroom"? To avoid any more arguing I handed her the letter Mr.Parkson gave me. She rudely snatched it from my hands and began reading it.

30 seconds later she told me I could sit down and pay attention and not cause any trouble. Finally! This can all blow over. As I was going back to sit down I noticed Zip was fully immersed in the lesson himself. Well, this should be good.

Hours passed, and school was over. Like that, I had a dramatic first day. Out on the school driveway Zip's parents were waiting for him outside.Zip offered me a ride home with them but I kindly declined, I kinda am still not his favorite person right now as I was so close to expelling him. Taking my old sneakers for a stretch wouldn't do them any more harm than the years I've left them in the wardrobe.

Walking home I pass two alleys, West and Greyson Alley. I arrive home to the same old front yard with perfectly trimmed grass. Seems dad has been doing my chores lately.
