"sweetie wake up." I moan and try to sleep more.It was my mom trying to wake me up.She then gently shake me again>"come on hope its time for your first day of school."She said softly. I woke up and rub my eyes."mommy i don't want to go I'm scared." I was born very small and i didn't grow that much."why are you scared sweetie." "because I'm scared they will make fun of me I'm so small.""aww sweetie they wont do that but if they do James will be there for you i promise." She then hug me.I hug back and smile.We both pulled away ans she kiss my forehead."here are you cloths sweetie ill be down stairs if you need me ok?I nodded and waited for her to get out.Once she did i got dress and went to my body mirror and frown."i hate being small."I talk to my self.I was only 26 inches when I'm suppose to be 37 inches.I brush my hair and went down stairs. I smile at my mom and dad.I had my own table cuz of my height.I sat down and my mom hand me my food.I ate and frown.Mommy? daddy?" "yes sweetie.My mom answer. Will i ever grow? I look at them and they were looking at each other and frowning. Then they look at me and smile."oh course you will sweet heart your just a slow grower.""there's nothing wrong with it.said my dad. I sigh and nodded.I ate my food.While i was eating there was a knock on the door and my dad answer it.It was James and his mom.i smile and finish eating."James!!" I ran and hug him.He hug back and smile.:hi hope you ready for school." We pull away and frown a little shrugging."i guess so,kinda scared."He nods and smile a little."ill be there for you and i wont let them hurt u i promise."I smile and was happy James was there for me. "ok guys its time to get a picture."My mom said.i stood right by him and smile."umm hope maybe u should be in front of James that way its easier.Said Cindy.I nodded and kept my smile but on the inside frowned.they just wanted me to be in front so so he wont be that much taller then me."ok guys 1...2..3" We both smiled and they took the picture.Once we got our pictures done i said good bye to my mom and dad.My mom kept hugging me and didn't want to let me go but finally she did.We headed out to the bus stop.
We were walking to the bus stop with James mom.I was quite the whole time while they try to talk to me.I just nodded or shook my head.Soon they stop and just talk with each other.I could tell James was ready for school.He was so happy.We finally made it for the bus and waited.James look at me and frown.He hug me."please hope cheer up it will be ok they wont make fun of u.""I'm sure most of them are scared to even go.I hug him back and nodded.When we pulled away the bus came and stopped. His mom hug me then him.You guys have fun and be save.We nodded and got on.Soon as we sat down the bus drove away.We were off to school.
*skip to the end of school*
The bus stopped at our bus stop and James dad was there this time.I was happy i had fun and no one hurt my feelings.James was smiling to and we walk back with his dad.We told him everything bout school and how happy we were.They stop by my house and i hugged James.Night James ill see you tomorrow.""night hope and ill see you tomorrow too.He said that's as he hug back.We pulled away and i went into the house.I smile and i saw my parents in the living room. I ran in and talk to them bout everything that happen at school i was so happy.They smile.Mom got up and went into the kitchen for dinner.I went into my room and played with my toys until it was time.I went down and had dinner then took a bath.I went to bed so happy.
I woke up and did the same thing over again just not with the hugs or picture taking.This kept happening every day.After 2 year we finally went into second grade.First grade was the same as kindergarten.
In second grade i grew up a lot but i was still smaller then everyone else.I finally learn to deal with my height.I was walking with James to the bus stop and talking with him.We waited for the bus and got on when it came.I saw a new guy on the bus and he just stared at me.I tried to ignore him and sat in my usual seat.James sat next to me in the seat.We kept talking but the boy in front of us turned around and stared at me.James didn't notice but i did.I try to ignore him more .The bus finally stop and we went into our class.Me and James were in the same class.So was the boy who stared at me.The teach had to leave her room for a few minutes.I looked at the boy and he kept staring.I look down and frown.James saw me upset then he look at boy." Hey boy please stop staring at her."I'm sorry i cant help it she is just so small."said the guy.Yeah you were too when you were little.""yeah but i grew up she is still small."said the guy."ok just be quite who ever you are and mind your on business." My name is Justin."Ok just be quite." James hug me and rub my back trying to cheer me up.I hug him back and calm down.
school was over and we got back on the bus then walked home."hope just ignore him he is stupid.""it doesn't matter if your small hes just a jerk." I nodded and didn't talk.we said our good bye.I walked into my house and walk past my parents.I walk to my room and shut my door.I don't know why but i felt like crying.Tears started coming down.I suddenly heard a knock and my mom came in.She saw me and frown.She cam to me and hug me letting me cried.I cried so much and told her everything.After crying i skip dinner and just got to the bathroom.I took a bath then went to bed upset.I kept hoping tomorrow would be better.
