Special Ed

Chapter 1

I'm Ed Parker. I'm a special education kid. I have two eyes- one right next to my nose and one by my eyebrow. I always wear a blindfold. I have a crooked nose and my mouth is big (in a normal way). My legs are short but one is longer than the other. One of my hands are gone but I have both arms. I'm smart at all either. And I've got noo friends. My life is HORRIBLE!

I was walking home when my mom called me saying that I have to come quickly or she is gonna "leave me." I wondered what that meant. I hung up and ran home. She was packing at my stuff and putting them in boxes. I asked, "Why is all my stuff inside boxes?!"

"Because we are moving."

"Why? It's bad enough that I'm made fun of here why should I be made fun of there?!"

"I don't know. You can ride in the passenger's seat or you can ride in the back of the truck with me and Miley."

Miley, my younger sister, said, "He should sit in the front. I don't what no suffer looking at him!"

My mom slapped her and said, "You sit in the truck as a punishment for Miley."

"Why is she being punished?" I asked.

"She came home from school early and pretended she was sick. I picked her up and then she said, 'Can we go to the amusement water park now, before we move? Please? Pretty please? With a cherry on top? PLEEAASSSE?' "

"Ohhhkay."

Four hours later: We went to a fast-food restaurant for dinner. We arrived at our destination at one in the morning. I couldn't fall asleep because of the heat in ths truck.

At the new house: I couldn't sleep at home because all our stuff was in the truck. My dad said that we'll unpack tomorrow so we can sleep in. Unfortunately, we only had a pillow on the floor as our "bed" for now.

The next day: My parents signed Miley and me up for a public school. I used to go to a private because there are less people to look at me. I was signed up for Mrs. Gold's special ed 5th grade class. Miley was in Mr. Melon's 3rd grade class.

We unpacked for 5 hours and we still weren't done. We ate some sushi from a restaurant nearby and then unpacked until we were done. It was super hot but there was a pool at our nes house. We went swimming until my sister drowned. We saved her in time but we had to take her to the hospital.

At the hospital: I sat in the waiting area next to some girl. She kept on staring at me. At gave her that look that said, "What?" She looked away. I looked at her phone which said in the notes, "Go to Mrs. Gold's special ed class for tutoring after lunch during freetime." I was gonna read on but her mom called her, "Emily let's go!" She got up, picked up her books, and left. I saw what she looked like now- blonde, perfect skin, and she looked my age.

The next day during breakfast: "Good morning, mother, father, and ugh brother."

"Stop acting all cute," I said to Miley. I grabbed my backpack and some new supplies and ran out with my pancake in my mouth. I ran all the way to the library. I picked up some books because apparently here, they have silent reading time and you need an ID card to check out a book from the school library. Luckily, I had a grandma who lived here so I had a card for this library and I knew where it was.

At school: I ran to E5. Mrs. Gold was already taking attendance but the bell rang right after I sat down. I was next to a girl who thought 2+2=17. Even I knew that was 34. Mrs. Gold was the nicest teacher ever.

I didn't feel very good so I went to the bathroom. I threw up im the toilet then got a pass to go home. On the way to the nurse's office, I bumped into a girl. She was blonde, had perfect skin, and she looked my age. She gave me a glare then ran to her class. I felt like I knew her from somewhere.....

At home: I laid in my bed thinking about where I knew her from. Then, my mom came into my room saying, "How are you feeling?"

"Fine but on my way to the nurse's office, I bumped into a girl. And I feel like I knew her from somewhere."

"Don't worry about it. Get some sleep." And I slept.
