Stan's [P.O.V.]
On Monday August 28th 2013, i had my first day of school in Detroit. It was a public high school with way to many kids attending. When i pulled up to the school, i had a sick feeling in my stomach. Not because i had any problems with the first day, cause back in Compton I didn't with all the things that happened there. But because it was a new school, new faces, everything was fucking new! And i'm not the kind of guy that likes really new things.
As we found a parking spot, i looked at my surroundings. It was a sorta-run down school with its usual stereotypes and all. As i walked in, I looked around and saw the jocks, nerds, goths, emos, cheerleaders and loners. It would be just like any school, right? Nope, because the minute i stepped foot in there, i saw one of the jocks give me the evil eye. Another person doing that? man...is everyone like this? Well anyway...after my dad signed some papers, he looked at me and said with his hand on my shoulder,
"You'll be just fine Stan, I believe in you"
I looked at him with anxiety, "But what if i'm not?"
He smilled, gave me a pat on my back and walked out the door. After that, i was basically on my own.
Suddenly, the jock who gave me the evil eye earlier walked up to me and shoved me.
"You know we don't like new kids right?" he snarled.
Being the smart-ass I am, i quickly replied,
"Obviously not"
which made a couple of the other jocks chuckle.
Just as he was about to punch me, i made eye contact with one of the jocks, talking to his girlfriend. He quickly kissed her goodbye, and ran over to where I was. He started yelling at the jock
"Dude, what the hell are you doing?".
The jock threatening me looked up and pushed me away.
"I don't like this new kid...he gave me the evil eye"
He looked at me, and then looked back at the other jock.
"If your going to beat the crap out of someone, at least have a good reason for doing so, now get out of here!"
The mean jock looked at me and snarled,
"I got my eyes on you, if you..." He paused for a second and then yelled "You get the point!" and stormed out of there.
"Hey, are you okay man?" The jock asked.
"Yeah...i lived in Compton before, this is nothing" i replied. He laughed and put out his hand to shake.
"My names David, but nobody calls me that except my grandma"
I laughed and shook his hand.
"My name's Stanley, but nobody calls me that either, they call me Stan".
"Cool man," Dave replied. He paused and then asked "Hey, do you want a quick tour of this place?"
I nodded "As long as i don't get beat up!" he nodded and laughed.
Dave started
"So...this high school is notorious for having a shitload of famous people go here".
"Really?" i looked up actually interested.
Dave nodded "Oh hell yeah, we've had Alice Cooper, Big Sean, Diana Ross and... the one and only Eminem."
I stopped for a moment, "forreal?".
Dave nodded, "yeah and you know what else? Eminem's daughter goes here now too!"
"Which one?" i asked.
He smiled "Hallie, she's cute, i think you'll like her...if you ever get a gimpse of her"
He then proceeded to look at his watch.
"Well..." he continued "Its time for first period, which class do you have?"
I sighed "Geometry"
Dave gave me a pat on the back like my dad and left me there.
As i walked their, i had the feeling something good was going to happen.
