Bex Mack: Story of Bexs life!

18

I sat down on the bench that Stretched in between lockers to the end of the room.
I wish I could just disappear. I don't want to see or talk to anyone.
Person: "Anyone in here?"
It must've been a teacher that worked here who walked in.
I thought if I sat in silence, she might walk away and I can be alone once again.
Teacher: "I know someone is in here.... I saw you running in the room."
I still sat in silence hoping she would walk away and maybe think she just saw something.
Teacher: "Ok, if I'm right, it's Bex, I'm your counselor, and I can't forget about you! You have red dyed hair... how am I supposed to forget?! I'm standing here by the door because I'm not supposed to walk in if anyone is in here without permission... well I know your i here.... that sounded creepy... Anyways I heard what happen with Mr. Hale.... I can help with that. Trust me."
"Really? You can?"
Teacher: "Yes... just give me permission to come in, I won't take you to my office because then that means we have to pass by your mom and Mr. hale and I don't think you want that."
I was hoping for anything to help with the Mr. Hale situation so I allowed her to come in.
My counselor was like a teenage grownup... she's better then any counselor. She understands everything about a teen! No matter how horrible it is, she understands and listens to you and helps you feel a hole lot better... so I'm hoping she can help with my problems.
Teacher: "Mr. Hale is not the best teacher and I'm not sure why he got hired... but your the 7th kid who's complained about him so I'm sending in a complaint in the office... Mr. Hale is not the nicest person and I think everyone knows that.... I only heard the last part of what Mr. Hale said, but I was there when you threw up... I saw the whole thing... don't worry... everyone was worried about you, even the bad kids! They said that they feel really bad for you and that they all thought Mr. Hale was a total jerk to you! I'm working on getting your schedule change, but you might have to get all new teachers unless you quit Art and trade that for a new social studies teacher for first hour and you can join choir or gym."
I already felt so much better. She agrees about Mr. Hale and how's he is a jerk.... I'm not sure if others would believe me on that.
I was thinking if I should quit art.
I'm not to in to art as much I was a few years ago.
People say I do really good on makeup and I thought it would be fun to take an art class to see if I can draw.
I have to say I'm not that bad.
But it will be for a good reason.
Plus I kinda like to sing.
And since I'm having a baby, I can't really take gym class.
"I'll quit Art and take choir."
Counselor: "Really? I thought you would definitely pick gym haha."
"Well I kinda don't like to play sports... plus I can't really take gym now..."
Counselor: "Oh.... how come?"
"Did you get my parents email... I'm pretty sure they sent it to the teachers that have me this year and you are my counselor."
Counselor: "Oh!! I saw your parents sent me one, but I hadn't had the time to look at it... I've been so busy, but you can tell me if you want. Or I can wait to check it!"
"I'll tell you..."
I felt very comfortable talking to her... like I said... she understands us teens and can help us out a lot.
Counselor: "Whenever your ready!"
"Yes, it was a total accident... I went to my friends New Years Eve party and someone spiked the drinks.... me and my boy- ex boyfriend got drunk... And.... I-I became pregnant..."
Counselor: "Ah! I see! Mistakes happen, even like this stuff! Your not the only one... and I'm not saying teen pregnancy is ok... but it's life! Stuff happens rather it's good or bad... and kids can be total Dumb butts.... sorry this happened."
"It's fine I guess... I'm gonna have to deal with it, I'm already 1 week and I've decided I'm gonna keep the baby....It seems crazy because you would think I'm the type of person to get annoyed with kids, but I actually like them and that's why I babysit. But I also agree... I'm also saying teen pregnancy isn't a good thing... hopefully people can learn from me."
Counselor: "They will learn rather it's from you or others... We should probably head back to your mom... I'll talk to her about the schedule change and have it to you by next week since today is Friday... But before we go... I wanna show you something."
Show me something?
What was it?
I was getting anxious.
She started to pull out her phone and went to her pictures and finally clicked the 'ok' button on one picture.
"Awwww is that your son?"
Counselor: "Yep! He's already 9 years old!! Time flys by so fast."
She had a cute son, but I Guess I got my hopes up excepting it was gonna be more exciting.
Counselor: "Here is one of me and him when he was just born...."
I looked over at her phone.
"Awwww."
Counselor: "I was 18 when he was born."
There's the excitement.
She was like me.
Yes I'm 17, but when my baby is born I'll be 18.
This all explains so much.
Why she understood me and how she can understand teens.
I was shocked.
"Wow. I really have no words..."
Counselor: "Its ok! I'm just gonna say your story about getting pregnant is actually reasonable and it was an actual mistake.... Mine wasn't.... I thought I would be so cool being a parent at 18....but I guess I over thought about that!"
"Haha."
I was still shocked.
I wish she was related to me some how so I could move in with her and she could help me with so many things!
Counselor: "Well we should head back now!"
We both got up and left.
I felt so much better talking to her.
"Thank you so much.... you really helped!"
Counselor: "Your welcome!! If you need me I'm here! Just use the pink pass!"
Wow.
That's a lot!
Pink passes are for emergencies so you can talk to the counselor that day!
White passes are for non emergencies and you might have to wait a couple days prior!
Mom: "Bex!! There you are!!"
"Hi mom."
Before my mom could say something else to me, my counselor pulled her over to talk about schedule change.
Before I knew it I grabbed my stuff and we headed to the car.
Mom: "Bex, I'm really sorry.... I should've spoken up.... I was just so scared and I'm not sure why... I told Mr. Hale that it was wrong of him to do that and I talked to the principal."
"Thanks Mom."
That meant a lot to me.
My day went from Ok to horrible to good.
Life can be a roller coaster.
Your emotions can be either high, low, or in the middle.
But that's life.
You will go through loops.
Because again,
That's what's life is about!
