Remembered yet Forgotten

The Kicking Stone

Today I was supposed to start school. I don't understand why. I will just be some freak its been 2 months since I found out about the tumor. I had a surgery 5 weeks ago to remove it. I stand out because they had to shave my head to do the surgery. We still haven't been told anything about my progress about the tumor. Tumor. I hate that word. It's just one more reason for people to think I'm a freak of nature. Also the fact I'm 20, and my dads sending me back to the 8th grade.

It's in my rights to say no, but I know he wants me to, but I much rather be home schooled though.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

"Crap," I mumble underneath my breathe. I'm late to class. I continue to ponder the hallways searching for my class. I'm never gonna find it. I see a short Asian girl standing by her locker and decide to ask for directions.

"Hi, do you know where I could find class 312. I'm lost."

She's hesitant, not sure why some 20 year old is talking to her, "Um..... I'm headed there to just follow me."

I follow her to the class realizing how abnormally small she was, she only had to be 4 foot 5 inches. We reach the classroom, I take a deep breathe before entering the classroom not sure of whats going to happen.

I step in the classroom feeling all of the eyes looking at me right away. I look around now knowing how much I am really a freak.

Now it's lunch and I walk at side hoping that some one will be nice and invite me to sit with them. I walk over to these group of girls to sit with, the second I sat down they all got up and walked away.

Once I finished my lunch I walked around the school looking for a trashcan, once I found one I walked over. After throwing my trash out the moment I turned around the girls from the table were there. I could tell they were trouble.

"Hi!" I say nicely.

"Look at that! The freak talks!" all the girls begin to giggle to themselves. "Just so you know, no one sits with us, so stay away! GOT IT!"

"Whatever," I say casually.

"Don't get an attitude with me, trust me you will regret it."

"I didn't get an attitude."

"You know what I think you need to learn a lesson."

Next thing I know they have me knocked on the ground and start kicking me, I scream out in pain, I can feel the blood rise in my throat.

"STOP NOW!!!" A deep voice yells. I look over and see him. The man that took me away, the one that hurt me.
