Today we were taking Katelyn to what would hopefully be her new school. It was only a five minute drive away, so it was the most convenient as well. It had really great ratings which meant that I wasn't so nervous about how it would be.
Lizzie and Katelyn came bounding down the stairs, chatting. "I'm ready," Katelyn smiled weakly, pulling on a denim jacket. It was lucky that it was still the summer holidays, as it meant there would be no students there to make things awkward.
We jumped into the car, and headed to the school. It looked pretty much like any other school. The headmaster, Mr Raymond, greeted us at the door. He shook hands with Katelyn, then Lizzie and me. "Welcome to Tide High School," he echoed. "Are these your parents?" He asked. I gulped. I didn't wasn't this to upset Katelyn. "Adoptive parents," I said quickly. He nodded, and led us into the hall.
He toured us through the whole school, showing us classrooms and lockers and halls. Mr Raymond had been very helpful to Katelyn, answering any questions and telling her things that would reassure her. Katelyn seemed happy.
"Katelyn, would you like to come here?" I asked.
"Yeah, I really like the look of it," she smiled.
Lizzie put a hand on her shoulder to reassure her. We talked through some things with Mr Raymond, and he led us to the Uniform Shop. We bought a blazer and tie, as well as the PE kit.
After filling out some forms, we left for the car. Katelyn seemed much happier on the way back. We reached home, and Katelyn suddenly asked "What if no one likes me?" She walked inside on her own, steps ahead of us.
She sat down on the sofa. I followed her in and sat next to her, followed by Lizzie. "You've done nothing for them not to like you," Lizzie explained.
"I know, but what did I do to Eva and Lauren? I'd never hurt them or said anything about them, I kept myself to myself,"
"I don't know why they bullied you. But jealousy and envy are usually parts of why people bully. Just trust me, you'll be fine."
I smiled.
