Lena: Breakfast!
I just started in my bed.

Brandon went down stairs and I could hear someone walking up. There was a knock on the door.
Lena: Jaylen come on breakfast is ready
Jaylen: let me sleep
Lena: nope come on
Jaylen: fuck sake
Lena: watch your mouth
I got up and Lena left so I could get ready. I wore my grey Nike tracksuit and my white air forces. I walked downstairs and everyone was eating breakfast. I sat down and stef passed me my plate. I had egg, bacon, hash browns and pancakes. We finished our breakfast.
Stef: Jesus, Jaylen meds
I took them and went up to brush my teeth. I went to my room and phoned Jay
Jay: hey trouble

Jaylen: nervous. I don't know anyone here. I don't like it here Jay. I wanna come home
Jay: I know kiddo I want you to come home too but this is the best thing for you right now.
Stef: Jaylen come on time to go
Jay: I guess you should get going. Call me after school okay
Jaylen: bye Jay

I walked downstairs and went out to the car.
We arrived at school.
Lena: Jaylen come with me
We walked to her office and sat down.
Lena: so this is your schedule
She passed it to me.
Lena: we're gonna see how you get on in lessons okay. Any problems come and find me
Jaylen: mhm
Lena: so you have home room with Miss Kenny. The people in this class are gonna be in all your other classes.

Jaylen: mhm
Miss Kenny: this is Jaylen please make him feel welcome. Jaylen if you just wanna take a seat next to Henry
Jaylen: who's Henry?
Henry: me

Henry: I'm gonna be showing you around the school. Help you get settled in
Jaylen: thanks
Miss Kenny: right so just before lunch you have an assembly in the main hall. Your teacher will bring you down
??: what's it about?
Miss Kenny: I'm not to sure all I know is it's gonna be with principal Sanchez
Miss Kenny: right I want you all to get on with some silent work. Jaylen can I speak to you outside please?
I got up and followed her outside
Miss Kenny: is there anything I can do to make things easier for you?
I just looked at her confused
Miss Kenny: for your adhd and dyslexia
Jaylen: erm I guess just understand that things are harder for me than they are for everyone else
Miss Kenny: do you have an overlay?
Jaylen: no
Miss Kenny: okay what colour helps?
Jaylen: blue or green
We walked back in the class and she passed me an overlay from her desk and I sat back down.
Henry: what's that for?
Jaylen: it helps me read
Henry: cool
The bell rang and me and Henry walked to our next lesson, English
Jaylen: what's the teacher like?
Henry: he's alright
We walked into the lesson and sat down.
Timothy: I want you all to get your books out
I put my hands up
Timothy: I see we have a new student. What's your name kid?
Jaylen: Jaylen
Timothy: nice to meet you Jaylen I'm Timothy. I'm guessing you don't have a book?
I just shook my head and he passed me over a book. He was talking through the lesson and I got up and walked to the window. I was the watching volleyball practice.
Timothy: Jaylen can you take a seat please?
I just ignored him
Timothy: Jaylen
Jaylen: hmm
Timothy: take a seat
I sat back down and was trying to listen to what he was saying. I was tapping my pen against my desk and tapping my feet on the floor
??: can you stop making noise I'm tryna listen?
Timothy: Jane no speaking please
I started drumming my fingers on the desk
Jane: seriously can you just sit still?
Jaylen: sorry
Timothy: Jane I'm not gonna tell you again
Jane: well the new kid keeps tapping and it's annoying
He passed round a worksheet for us to do. I was humming whilst reading it
Jane: seriously
Jaylen: shut up
Timothy: what's going on over there?
Jaylen: shes just bothering me I'm tryna do my work
Timothy: Jaylen why don't you come and sit in the front
Jaylen: but I haven't done anything wrong
Timothy: it's just so you're away from distractions
Jane: he's the distraction
Jaylen: shut the fuck up whining like a little bitch
Timothy: Jaylen step outside
Jaylen: No
Timothy: Jaylen
I ignored him
Timothy: Jaylen outside otherwise I'll ring on call
Henry: what's on call?
??: a teacher who collects naughty kids from the class
I stayed sat down and Timothy went outside on the phone. Everyone was just talking. Timothy walked back in with another teacher
Timothy: Jaylen go with Mr peters
Jaylen: no
Mr Peters: come on get your stuff
Jaylen: fuck off
Mr Peters: either you come with me or the principal will come and get you
I got up just walked out. Mr Peters followed after me
Mr Peters: Jaylen come on let's go and talk
Jaylen: go fuck yourself
I was just walking around the school when I bumped into Jesus.
Jesus: you okay?
Jaylen: mhm
Mr Peters: Jaylen I'm not gonna keep chasing after you
Jaylen: fuck off then
Jesus: go with him Jaylen
Jaylen: but I don't want to
Jesus: don't make things worse otherwise you'll get into more trouble
Mr Peters: come on Jaylen let's go and talk
I followed him to his office. I sat down and he started speaking.
Mr Peters: so what happened today then?
Jaylen: I'm just pissed off
Mr Peters: any reason in particular?
I just got up and started walking around his office. There was a baseball on his desk so I picked it up and was throwing and catching it.
Jaylen: can I go to the toilet?
Mr Peters: sure
I left went toilet and was now just walking around. I eventually went back to mr peters but the bell rang.
Mr Peters: what lesson you got next?
Jaylen: erm maths with Mrs Francis
Mr Peters: come on then
Jaylen: I don't need a babysitter
Mr Peters: I need to talk to Mrs Francis anyways
We walked to the lesson and I walked in and just went to the window. Mrs Francis went outside. She then came back in and Mr peters was waiting at the door.
Mrs Francis: Jaylen can you sit down please?
Jaylen: no
Mr Peters: Jaylen now
Jaylen: keep your hair on or should I say your wig
The class started laughing. I sat down and Mr Peters left.
Mrs Francis: right we're gonna do a little test to see how much you know. Does anyone need to use the restroom because when the test starts no one will be allowed to leave?
No one left. She handed out the tests and I opened it and I knew I couldn't do it. For the next 10 minutes I sat there tryna make sense of the questions. I was tapping my foot on the floor and drumming my pencil on the table
Mrs Francis: can we stop the tapping?
I stopped and put my hand up. She came over to my desk
Mrs Francis: everything okay?
Jaylen: can I go to the restroom?
Mrs Francis: I already told everybody once the test starts you can't leave the class
Jaylen: can I get some water?
Mrs Francis: I can get you a bottle from my desk
Jaylen: no I just need a drink from the fountain. please I'll be quick
Mrs Francis: Jaylen you're distracting the rest of the class
Jaylen: please I just need a break let me just go
Mrs Francis: the answers no. Carry on or I'll call mr peters.
