The Real Me

Chapter Two: First Day of Eight Grade

          As I said before I was very nervous to go to school on the first day of eighth grade, but I had to and I knew that. I guess it would not be as bad as I thought it would because at least I got away from my evil parents.

         I was walking by Liz when she said loudly "well are you ready for the first day"

        "Why did you have to say that so loud" l said

        "that's because it is so loud I was afraid you wouldn't hear me"  

        "I'm not that nervous" I said loudly.

        "Well here we go" Liz said.

        As I walked into the school and onto the carpet, the cafeteria was on my right it smelled like cinnamon rolls and on my left was the gym that smelled like sweat, that smell was nasty. I walk up stairs and on my right is where the office was. The walls in the building were white and green to stand for are school color. In order to get to my first room I had to go right, straight, right, straight then right into my first class, which is math. The name of my teacher was outside the door, her name was Mrs. Karcher. My teacher looked to be nice she has brown hair, glasses, blue eyes, short, had on a blue shirt, brown pants and had a scar on the front of her hand.

          As I walk Mrs. Karcher said "on the white board is a seating chart and that is where you will find where you sit". 

          It was terrible because I had to sit right next to a nasty looking boy, by nasty looking I mean it didn't look like he had washed or combed his hair, it looked like he had those clothes on for three days. But I guess I just had to deal with it.

         The bell ringed, Mrs. Karcher said "now class I know that today will be boring but I have to go over all the paperwork". I didn't fell like listening to her talk and talk so I put in earphones and listen to music. Her voice disappear as I was listening to my favorite song. I look around the room there where several cupboards, green and white walls, twenty other kids in the class, sinks that had a black inside, lots of posters and two white boards.

          The person that was sitting by me was Matt, he said "why are you listening to music"

          I said "that is because I didn't want to listen to Mrs. Karcher talk."

          Matt said to Mrs. Karcher "Lilly is listen to music."

          I hurried and took my headphones out. Mrs. Karcher announced "were you listening to music"

         "yes I was I'm sorry" I replyed.

          Mrs. Karcher said "well it is okay for now but if it happens again you are in big trouble."

        Finally the bell ringed, I headed off to my next class, that was sex ED. This is my most hated class ever but I had to do it. Liz and I were walking side by side.

         I asked her "what do you have next?" Liz Said

        "I have sex ED"

        "yea, I have it to"

       "Cool" Liz Said happily.

         We were getting ready to walk into the room until I said "lets see what her name is.

        "It is Mrs. Kenney."

       As we walked in she said "the seating chart is on the white board". Me and Liz looked at the seating chart we sat right beside each other.

         Mrs. Kenney said "take your seats please." 

      "I'm not going to talk about all of that paperwork, but you are going to start out with an assignment. I thought to myself this is not good I was hoping that I didn't get a assignment being it is was only the first day.

         Mrs. Kenney Said "you are going to have to get a paper bag, then put you name on it and put things that you do in life."

         "For example one for me would be that I am a teacher."

        "So you do that assignment it is due by the beginning of class tomorrow." So I got my things and started working on it and before I knew it, it was the end of the hour.

        My next class was ElA, I hated ELA so much. The teachers name was Mr. Kenney, he was married to Mrs. Kenney.

         like all the other teacher he said "you will find where you sit on the white board." I got sick of hearing this but I guess I had to get use to it. Then he went through the paperwork. After that he gave us An assignment, we had to write an essay on why we think that school is so important. I thought to myself I'm not a good writer and I'm going to get a F on this. This was terrible because I sat there for ten minutes trying to think of how I was going to write. Finally I had a idea, I was sure that I was not going to get a F on it now. Thirty minutes went by and I got the assignment done.

           I went up to the teacher and asked him if he wanted me to turn it into the basket, he said "yes" and he also said "after you turn that in get a book out to read for the rest of the hour. So I went back to my desk and started reading The Lightning Thief, this book was really long. The bell went off,  I didn't want to go because I was in the middle of my chapter.

         My next class was science I was happy to go to this class because I loved science. The teachers name was Mrs. Sanders. She looked to be very nice just by the way she looked. She had us do an assignment. The assignment was a report on one animal in the world that is in danger. So after ten minutes I finally started But she told us to go to lunch. I speed walked all the way to the lunch line. It took forever until I got my lunch. It was so loud in the cafeteria it could hardly hear myself think. I finish my lunch and went back to my class room. I almost coundn't make it through the hallways. But I made it back to the room, got a drink and finished my work.

            The rest of the day went by slow I had gym then a homework class. The bell went off and it was the end of the day, now it was really hard to make it through the hallways. I walked out of the school and got on the bus. The bus went up to the elementary school and picked up those kids after that we were ready to go home.

           On the way home it was very loud but all the way back to my house I talk to Liz until I we pulled up to my house. I didn't want to go back to this terrible place but I had to.

              I said "bye" to Liz and after that I walk up the driveway, I almost slipped because of the mud. I opened the door and that is when all the horror began.
