The Son Of Alice || A Once Upon A Time Story

My First School Day

September 5th, 2016

I've been in Storybrooke for some time now. I learned as much as I can about it. I was really happy in this place except for one thing. From others my age I heard of the dreaded school called "Storybrooke Academy." I had to go in as an 8th grader because of my age. I woke up this morning in my branch fort I made in the woods to my watch going off. I had forgotten!

Today was my very first day of school!

I was nervous, I took a look at myself in my little pocket mirror. My hair was a rat's nest! I combed it to perfection and ran to school with my bag. They handed out uniforms to new people at the door. The boys had to wear a black sweater with the academy crest and black dress pants, while the girls had to wear the same sweater and a red skirt.

I walked through the handout people. We had to change inside of the restrooms? That was gross. The boys' restroom smelled disgusting, as if it hadn't been cleaned of it's stale urine smell over the summer. The girls bathroom was said to have no scent and no mess all over the floor.

When I got my uniform on I was ready to puke from the smell from the bathroom. I stood over an empty garbage can for a few moments to see if I would. When I didn't, I went to get my schedule, and went to Homeroom.

I sat two seats down from a pretty blonde girl who looked at me funny. The teacher called my name and I said "Present." While other kids would say 'Here'. But the girl said "Sup." she spoke with her friend, I'm sure about me. I heard the words "New Kid"

Our teacher's name was Mrs. Kurt.
After Homeroom, we went to our first period with Mrs. Blanchard for Math class. She was a really nice person. The same pretty blonde girl was also in my math class. Mrs. Blanchard made us partners for what we were doing.

The girl sat at the desk beside me and said "Hey, I'm Mackenzie, Kenzie for short. Mrs. Blanchard is my mom, usually known as Snow White." She didn't have an accent like most I've met. "Your Snow White's daughter? And Shouldn't she be Miss White?" I asked "Long story involving a curse. Sooo... your name's Alexander, right?" She said "That's correct." I told her.

Mackenzie laid her head on her hand and sighed "I hate this class, it's so boring." She said. The teacher handed us our task. "Maybe if you have a positive attitude about it, it could have a positive impact on your grade." Mrs. Blanchard said. Kenzie taught me how to do some of this Math stuff. I didn't like it either, it made no sense.

By the end of that class she said "See you around?" I nodded in return.

I think I'm in love

By the end of the day I made a few new friends. Their names were Ethan, Ashley, Summer and Isabella. Of course Mackenzie and I were friends but I was looking forward to seeing her the next day in class.

After school I walked to the old barn. "I miss you, Chris, and I will save you. I promise, I won't break that promise." I said to the statue. I headed towards the library afterwards. "Hi, Belle." I said "I'm looking for a job, I enjoy coming here all the time but I do need to pay for my own food and other things." I said as I walked to the counter.

"You want me to hire you?" Belle asked "What a kind offer! It doesn't need to pay much." I said with a laugh "Okay, how does minimum wage sound?" Belle said, smiling at the joke. "That's perfect." I said and smiled. "You can start by organizing the 'in box' into their sections." Belle said. I nodded and went to do so.
