"Tymer, please stay still. We need to finish this last stitch and if you keep moving you can get pricked." One of the maids spoke to me while the other maid was trying to put my shoes on.
"But I can't help it!" I shout with glee. "Today is my first day at my new school and I'm really excited!" I replied trying to sound like a monster on the last few words.
"Honey, it's almost time to leave." Mommy said opening the already cracked open doo to my room.
I let the maids finish getting me ready. I run out my room and down the wide hallway in my big house. I then trot down the stairs and see mommy waiting for me by the front door. At the last step, I jump off and run to mommy giving her a big hug. She hugs me back and we both walk out the house, walking to my new school.
~~~~~~~~~~
"We're here, bunny." Mommy said as we arrive the the ninja academy. I am still a few feet behind her so I put my hands to my head and hop over to my mommy's side. I smile up at her as she looks down at me and smiles back. She then gets to my level and takes both of my hands in hers. "Are you ready for your first day of school?" I look down, starting to feel the butterflies set in my tummy. I shrug not saying a word. "Oh, honey. What's wrong?" She asked.
"What if it's the same thing that happened at the last school?" I look her in the eyes, she could see my fear.
"You want mommy to be honest with you all the time, right honey?" I nod in reply. Mommy looked down for a second, she then took a deep breath and looked me in the eyes. "I'm not going to make any promises. I don't know if it will be better or if it will be worse." I look down, still not feeling any better. "But, I know you are strong. Not physically -yet- but your heart is strong. You are kind, funny -yeah, you're a little weird but that's your best quality- embrace who you are. It's okay to be different. If people don't like it then forget them, they're not the kind of people you want in your life. Just be you, and nobody else. Okay sweetie?" She smiles at me. I smile back and nod. "Alright, now go get'em tiger."
"Okay mommy!" I smile as she stood back up. I began to run to the school, but I tripped -Over nothing- I tripped over nothing. Well, this is just gonna be a little set back that's all.

"Everyone, settle done and take a seat." My new sensei spoke to the class. Once everyone was seated, he continued. "Alright, we have a new transfer student here with us today." He then gestures God me to step forward to introduce myself.
I step forward, take a deep breath, stand up straight and speak. "Hi, my name is Tymer Suzume and I'm really glad to be here." I spoke really fast that I was getting weird looks and some of the girls were laughing at me. I blush as all the other students started making not so positive comments about me. Oh man, I already messed up. Even the teacher gave me a weird look.
"Umm - well, Tymer, I can already tell it's gonna be an interesting experience having you here. Now class, we will be having a seat change" the sensei said making all the other side kids complain. "You all get to go outside if that makes anything better!" The class cheers with joy as they all break out of the classroom and head outside. I then follow everybody outside, why do I have a weird feeling about this.
