A Special Girl In Her Special World

A New Beginning

Years went by and Klover was already five years old. Her parents wanted her to discover what had happened all on her own so they bought her a bird, which was called Nate and a puppy, which was called Scamp and as they arrived home they noticed that she was already talking to them. She was so pleased she could talk to them that she did nearly everything for them. She fed them, she cleaned after them, she walked the puppy with her mum, she trained the puppy, and she played with them.

Now she had less time to keep care of her pets because she started attending her first year of school although she didn’t want to go her parents wanted her to have a good education and so she had to attend every day except Monday’s. They didn’t really have a reason but it seemed the right thing to do so they were able to spend time with her.

Her first day of school was a bit chaotic because since it came so fast they didn’t have time to look for the school so they woke up quite early and got dressed. Chloe helped Klover get dressed into her new uniform.

Klover wasn’t really excited and could have easily stayed home. During breakfast her mother told her, “Klover you have to go to school to make friends and get an education!”, “But I already have friends. Nate and Scamp are the bestest friends I can ever have!!”, Klover said who didn’t really need to go to school for education because she already knew how to read really well and write too. She knew how to do this because her parents spent all the time in the world with her.

“But sweetie you need to make friends that are like you ... little boys and girls are going to this school and most of them don’t want to but have to go!” Roland said to her to make her feel better but she still didn’t want to go.

Rolland and Chloe had to drag Klover into the car and they drove around wherever the GPS told them to. An hour later they found the school and it was not far from their house it was only a ten minute walk!! Once they got there it was quarter past eight which meant they had another fifteen minutes until the children go in. On the first day the parents could come into the class so the children will feel safe but then they couldn’t come into the class unless it was parents’ day or their child is sick.

The bell rung and Klover went in quietly. She already knew that she shouldn’t tell anyone that she can talk to animals and she didn’t even know that she could turn into them. Her teacher Ms Smith was their first year teacher and she started asking questions to each student.

It was finally Klover’s turn. Ms Smith asked her, “Well hello sweetie what’s your name?” Klover said to her shyly, ”My name’s Klover”. “Oh. What a nice name. When is your birthday?” Ms Smith asked nicely. “My birthday is on the 16Th of January”, Klover said with a weak smile. “Oh. You must be a smart one, not many that I teach already know when their birthday is. Do you have any brothers or sisters?”, Ms Smith said happily. “No, but I do have a dog and a bird. They are my brothers and I love them lots.” Klover said again smiling. “How sweet, listen here sweetie” Ms Smith whispered something into Klover’s’ ear and smiled. Klover smiled back.

Once Ms Smith finished asking all the students Klover counted how many students where in her class.... there where fifteen students including her, seven girls (including her) and eight boys. Ms Smith said that the parents could talk to their children for a few minutes and then when they were ready the children could go and sit down in any place that they wanted and the parents sit on the chairs at the back because she wanted to start her lessons as soon as possible.

Klover’s’ parents came over to her and asked her,” What did Ms Smith tell you??” “Ms Smith told me that if I want to stay here during the breaks I could because she wants to know more about me!”, Klover said beaming at parents. Rolland said in a whisper, ”If you want to stay you can but be careful what you tell her.” Klover nodded and went off to find a place to sit down in the front row.

Once everyone was sitting down and settled they started their first lesson which was maths. Klover was really good at maths so she was looking forward to the lesson. “Ok let’s start our first lesson..... Maths!! So let’s start by counting to ten. Ok whoever knows them count with and whoever doesn’t listen to me first and then try with me the second time. Ok. Here we go...One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten!!” Klover was the only one that said them with Ms Smith so Ms Smith asked her to say them all by herself. “One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten!”, Klover said bravely.

Ms Smith said,” Ok it shows that you know them. I am going to give you a piece of paper and I want you to try and write the numbers from one to ten please.”, Ms Smith said with a smile. Once Ms Smith gave Klover a piece of paper she took out her pocket and started writing the number while the rest of the class learned the numbers. In five minutes she was ready and Ms Smith had to stop and correct her work.

Once she finished she stared at the paper and went over them time and time again but she found no mistakes. Klover was so pleased and her parents were pleased too because they had taught all that she knows and Ms Smith asked,” Who are Klovers’ parents?” Rolland and Chloe raised their hands. “Oh. Ok, can you please stay here with Klover during the break?” Ms Smith asked. “The other parents can go down into the playground.” Ms Smith said. She was smiling the rest of the lessons but not many people knew why.

There were two lessons until the first break, another two lessons until the second break and another lesson until the children go home. The next lesson went by quickly for Klover because it was reading. Ms Smith asked who would like to start reading the book she gave them and Klover was the only one to raise her hand again.

She asked Ms Smith how many pages to read and she said that she could read two pages. Klover read the two pages without any mistakes and without stopping and once again Ms Smith was very proud of her. Ms Smith asked who would like to read next and a boy that was sitting next to her whose name was Oliver raised his hand slowly upward and Ms Smith encouraged him to read. Although he didn’t read as well as Klover, slowly but eventually he finished reading the two pages. He was proud of himself and so were his parent but since they were all only five or six years old Ms Smith didn’t expect them to read very well.

At long last the time Klover and her parents were waiting for..... Break Time! They were so curious to see what Ms Smith was going to say to them. Ms Smith showed everyone the way out except for the Wood family. Ms Smith started talking to Rolland and Chloe and starting praising them. She asked, “When did you start teaching her all these things?” Rolland said, ”Since she has been able to talk!”

“And when did she start to talk??” Ms Smith said curiously. When she was six months old she started talking to us but now she talks to...” Rolland started but stopped because he remembered not to tell her and he also stopped because Chloe tapped his arm. “Umm forget that!!” He said quickly. Ms Smith looked at him strangely and shook her head pretending that she couldn’t hear what he said. “Klover I wanted to ask you more about your pets because you seem very fond of them!”

“Yes I am because they are my brothers!” She said happily. “So what pets do you have??” Ms Smith asked curiously. “I have a jack Russell puppy named Scamp and a bird named Nate.” She said smiling. “Oh you named them?” Ms Smith asked. “Yes all by myself!” She said beaming up at Ms Smith. “Wow” she said smiling “How long ago did you get them??” she asked looking at her. “Not long...” she said thinking. Ms Smith smiled and put an arm on her shoulder and said “Keep good care of them ok?? You can go out to play” she said smiling. Klover nodded smiling and skipped outside.

“Now... I wanted to ask you how you thought her that much when she is only five!” she said looking at them surprised.
