The Life That I Knew

Life As I Knew

Wake up!?! It’s time for school, her brother Dominic said, slapping her with a pillow. I’m up! I’m up 

Great good, now go to school, today is the first day of the next four years, and you are going to graduate, and if not I'll make sure you get a good job with me. He laughed, “breakfast is on the table.” Thanks but no thanks, not hungry, I’m just gonna head out to school. Oh and by the way, i will not work with you at your car shop, that’s not really a job for me or any girls, No? He said as he crossed his arms, and raised his eyebrows, then why is there like eight girls working at the car shop with me and javier, I don’t know, not my choice of, or me knowing that they work with you, I really Don’t care, since mom and dad have passed you have been acting so different and i don’t like it. Well I don't like you telling me that I am acting differently. Are you really gonna start that now? No, I’m gonna be late for school. 

Sandra made her way into the school building, the home of the alligators. Are you serious?! Right now, The home of the alligators, what the hell is a name like that for a school. Miss, can I help you?  She sniffled, raising her eyebrows. I'm kind of lost, and this is my first day here. Can you help me figure out my classes, and my locker, I don’t wanna be late for my first day. That’s okay and you won’t be late, since it is your very first day. Have you been here before? No mam,my brother has been, I lived in a different town at the time, you might know him, dominic, keegan. ah yes, i do know him as a very smart student and a good honor student too. Did he ever get the career that he wanted? The one with the car mechanic, he actually runs, his own car shop, and he is his own mechanic a very good one to, he has fixed my car to, after all, he’s been a good support for me since my mom and dad died, the teachers, face rose in fear, oh sweetie i am so sorry for your parents, do you know what happened? Sandra looked down, they both died in a car accident, and that’s when my brother took me in he didn't have to, but he loves me and never wants anything bad to happen to me. That’s the first bell of the day, we can go set you up with a locker and print off your classes, and we will take you to your first class of the day, how about that. Great, my feet are killing me just standing here. This is going to be your locker for the next four years, and here are your classes. I'll take you to your first class of the day, and again I am so sorry for the loss of your parents. Sandra nodded, thank you. 

Hello, sorry not to interrupt your class, but we have a new student, her name is sandra keegan and she’s new in town, she lives with her brother, after her parents died, so go easy on her and treat her with respect and same for the rest of the class to all of you treat each other with respect it's obviously the golden rule. Have a good day. Sandra, stood there in front of the class as she swallowed hard, hi my name is Sandra Keegan and I am from Minnesota, it’s nice to meet you all. 

They all laughed, nice to meet you all? Tears ran down sandras, face as she bumped into a man, the wind knocked her straight to the ground, as she stared up at the man, with a big smile, are you okay? She looked down. No not really, first I got bullied for the first day, and second I fell to the ground, in front of someone handsome. So that's a double whammy for me. So what do you think? I think I need to help you up and introduce you properly to the class. The mysterious man slowly helped Sandra off the dusty school floor. This is Sandra keegan. Understood. She’s from minnesota. Her brother took her in because of the death of her parents, more people laughed. The man’s blood started to boil. As his eyes were drawn to the back of the class, to the group who was laughing, if you ever laugh again, I will make your life turn upside down, drain your whole body of blood, and then the rest of them so if I were I would make better choices. Sorry, we're sorry. Sandra wiped away her tears, as she slowly nodded, everything will be okay i promise. I didn't get your name? It’s Kyle anderson. Well Kyle, thank you for what you did for me. How can I repay the favor? No need he said, as he took his bag, giving everyone in the back a death glare. The second bell rang for the next class.
