My mom picks me up into her arms and grently put me down in my chair.
"There we are champ!"
She smiles at me and start to fork me some of my eggs.
"You excited for school today honey?"I blink twice,
"Aw...I'm sure it won't be that bad!"We have a system,
yes or no questions only.
If I blink once, yes.
If twice, no."I'm sure you'll make a lot of friends!"
I literally cannot.
...I have locked-in syndrome.
Basically, I can't move anything but my eyes,
only up and down though–
and I'm mute.Great right?
And I'm going to school,
a place where in every movie–theres a bully.Some jerk who has nothing better to do than bully random people.
Ok, ok–maybe it's just a movie...
but I wouldn't know.
It's kind of my first day of school,ever.
In my life.
Of course I've been home schooled–
so I know something.But–as you can imagine...
I've never met anyone.
And since I literally can't do anything...I'm probably going to have some awkward air with the class.
...
Oh great...
That'll be a great start of the year.
