We all get in the car and start to head to my new and first school. "You excited?" Mark asks me. I smile, "well of course I am. I haven't ever gone to a school and I never thought I would." I say. "Don't worry, it'll be great." Jack says with a smile. We then get to the school and we all get out of the car, its about 6:55, we are early.
We go into the office together and we see the lady me and Jack talked to yesterday. "Hello, its nice to again. I am guessing you are Mark? The other guardian." She says shaking all of our hands. "That's me." Mark says with a little smile. "Nice to meet you. I am the principal, they mostly know me as Mrs. Cole." Jack nods and Mark gives another smile. I just try to act casual.
"Shall we begin with the office work or the tour?" She asks us. "What type of 'office work'?" Mark asks. Mrs. Cole nods, "its paperwork on her intelligence. Because she has never been on school record we need to know how much she knows to place her in her correct curricular based classes." We all nod. "Is it like a test?" Jack asks childishly. She nods. "Well kiddo, it's up to you." Mark says looking at me. "Can I just get the test over with?" Mrs. Cole nods and leads us to the office we were in yesterday. She goes behind her desk and looks through multiple drawers and pulls out about 3 papers that are stapled together and then puts it in front of me.
I look at all the questions when she lays down the paper. "Now, gentlemen, you can stay if you wish or wait in the lobby." Mrs. Cole says to Jack and Mark. They nod and take chairs next to me. "We'll stay." Mark says. I give him a smile. "Now, dear, please answer the questions as best you can and honestly. Also, don't worry if you don't know some of the answers, we don't expect you to know everything." Mrs. Cole says giving me a smile.
I look down at the test, there are math questions, long written responses, reading understanding questions and geography questions which I am sure I flunked.
When I finally finish the test I look over all my answers and then hand it to Mrs. Cole, which I now realize, has been watching me for the entire time. "Thanks you. For now, let's take the tour while I have my assistant choose your core classes based on your scores... Hannah!" I then see a girl who is no older than 17 run into the room holding a stack of papers, "yes Mrs. Cole?" She then gestures to the test, "can you please place this young lady in to her core classes based on the scores?" She nods and grabs the test.
We all walk out of the room and walk out of the office into the rest of the school. Mrs. Cole leads us around every corner, into every classroom and points out every bathroom and water fountain. At the end of the tour she leads us back to the office and goes back into her office where Hannah is sitting looking down at a few piles of papers and writing on a few of them. She looks up when we walk in and hands Mrs. Cole a piece of paper. "Thank you Hannah."
