Life As Tony Stark's Child → Iron Man

Chapter 12 (Monday)

Kerry's POV (Monday)

I walked down a cold, isolated hallway. I couldn't believe this place could be called a school. My first day here and I'm already scared for my life. I just hoped that it goes well and is nothing like my first day at the orphanage. All my efforts to convince Tony to let me stay at home failed. I was gonna have to get used to all of this, waking up early, getting ready, getting driven to school, and learning maybe? I've never been to a school before but how does sharing a building with so many people help you learn anything? We had a couple of lessons at the orphanage but I never learned anything. The teachers just didn't bother to teach properly and lets say the kids didnt want to learn anything either. Apparently in this school there are more people than in the orphanage so I did not know what exactly to to expect.

I found a door which had the same number as the piece of paper I was given. 362. I sighed. I took a deep breath and tried to build up the courage to knock. I raised my arm but then I stopped. I can't do this. I thought to myself. What am I going to do when the door is opened? What will I say? Wont everyone hate me if I embarass myself?

''Who are you?'' I heard a girls voice behind me and I suddenly turned around to face whoever was talking to me. It was a girl, about my age with crooked teeth and red wavy hair. 

''Um my name is Kerry.'' I told her sounding very unsure. Great. So much for not embarrassing myself. Imagine what I would say in front of the whole class.

''My name is Lola. Are you new?'' She asked me and smiled a bit making me feel a bit more welcome. 

''Yes.'' I replied, and forced a small smile so I don't seem too mean and scare her away. 

''Are you in this class?'' She asked. So many questions.

''Yes.'' I repeated and she nodded. She didn't ask no more, instead she gently pushed me out of the way and knocked on the door. I heard a woman yell ''come in'' and Lola opened the door. The sunlight coming form the room blinded me and I covered my eyes for a second. How weird is it? The hallway is incredibly light yet the classroom is beaming with deadly sunlight.

''Oh who is this?'' A woman, who I'm guessing is the teacher asked Lola. She was very young and had short, brown curly hair. She wore a tight pink dress which went down to her knees. She was freakishly slim. She held a pile of papers and was standing in front of the class, there was a black board behind her. All the desks were for only two people and they all faced the front, The people seemed very angry, annoyed and bored and stared at me and Lola. Mostly me.

''This is Kerry, she says she's new.'' Lola replied lazily and yawned afterwards. The teacher looked at me. She was just like the kids. Angry, annoyed and bored. She walked over to her desk and quickly opened up a drawer, with her thin, pale, shaky hands she took out a pair of glasses and put them on her face. She then walked up to a bookshelf at the end of the classroom, behind all of the students, her pink heels making that annoying clicking sound reminding me of that lady at the orphanage on my first day. I felt like covering my ears but I'm sure that would seem impolite and weird to some people. Or all them. You pick.

She whipped out a book and walked to the front again. 

''Sit.'' She ordered to me and Lola. Lola walked to a desk at the back of the class and sat down, putting her bag on the floor. I didn't know where to sit so I just stood there awkwardly hoping the teacher will understand my confusion with her command. But instead she just looked at me with an annoyed expression on her pale ghostly face. 

''I said sit!'' She shouted, taking me aback and scaring me. I looked to the front again and saw all the people watching me entertained. I felt like crying. Again. I mess up again. I glance at Lola she gestures me to come sit next to her. I do exactly that, but on my way there I trip and fall on my front. The class erupts in laughter as I get up trying to keep my tears in. I look to the left at the girl who tripped and she shot me a glare. I continued walking and sat down next to Lola dumping my bag next to my chair. The teacher walked up to me with the book she took out earlier and dumped it on the desk. 

''Page 76.'' She spat and walked up to the front again. I opened the book on that page and waited for any further orders but they never came. Even though the class was silent there was chaos going on everywhere. People were spitting everywhere, throwing rubbers and other school equipment at each other, they were scribbling things on the tables. It was almost worse than the orphanage. I was really mad at Tony. To try and take my mind off things I began reading the book even though it was incredibly boring and no one else was reading it at all. This continued for about 20 minutes and I know that because I kept looking at the clock to see how much longer I'm going to suffer in this craziness. Or hell. Both sound pretty bad.

''Kerry.'' The teacher announced and I looked up at the front and saw her going through a massive pile of papers making a mess on her desk.

''Kerry, Kerry, Kerry.'' She kept repeating and I wondered why she did that. I didn't like her yelling my name as this attracted me more attention. She kept going until she found a piece of paper she was looking for.

''Ah there it is. Everyone this is the new girl,'' She paused and pointed at me making peoples heads turn in my direction. She sounded incredibly un-enthusiastic and looked like she wished she didn't have to say this. However she read on what was on the paper and I could've sworn that she had a tiny smile on her bright, red lips just for a second.

''Her name is Kerry Christopher Stark, or just Kerry Stark.'' She said and everyone looked at me in awe and then turned to their teacher waiting for her to continue and to confirm their suspicion.

''She is Tony Starks daughter.'' She concluded and the class burst into loud chatter and even more chaos, this time involving me.
