FALLING SKIES

THE BEGINNING

Highschool is boring and fun altogether. Well, nonetheless.. Monday in Central High was a mess to me.

This is the day I had gym class and I had to hand over a bunch of unfinished assignments which of course meant immediate detention after the normal class hours. Plus, this is the day I have chemistry lessons at the laboratory and I know I hate chemicals. Ooh and the dude that sits besides me in the class isn't the type anyone would want to mix chemicals with.

Although he's good at the subject, he does some pretty unusual stuff like stick a pen up his nose and other stuff I shouldn't even speak of.

Well today I woke up alittle late than intended and forgot to grab my English assignment on top of the study room table. I remembered all this when I had just boarded the school bus, so turning back was an unlikely choice. So much for not owning my own car yet!

I wore a black cap with a plain black v-neck shirt that made me look all macho. I had on some dark jeans and black converse shoes. To complete the all black get up I had on a black skull bag behind me. I looked creepy awesome and I loved it.

I sat at the back with a couple of seniors who kept giving me this "what the heck are you doing here!?" Looks that really didn't bother me at all.

Having only been a month in the school, I had learnt enough to have known exactly whom to stay clear of and whom not to avoid or in other words I did my own assessment of the kids in the school and all the cliques.

Honestly, I am just that way. All free and not caring. I decided not to give into the fear factor beliefs in every school and never really feared anyone other than my own self.

Some seniors once decided to try bullying me because I somewhat stared at their girls,- The Billingslys- and that's how I got my first suspension. I recall having blood on my shirt. Not my blood though.

After the suspension, which lasted for a couple of days I had to report back to school alongside my parent. The case was done with and now here I am heading back to school, on a Monday morning, in a bus crowded with all kinds of students. Some who are terrified of me and some who are completely oblivious of my existence. After all , I am Still the new kid in school.
