"Emma, time to get up."Sal said shaking me. I opened my eyes to see what time it was. "It's five."I said. "I now. You need to get ready for school."Sal said walking out of the room. Wait, WHAT!? I got up and ran to my bathroom. I showered and got dressed.
After getting dressed I ran down the stairs with my backpack. "Alright, let's go."Joe said. I nodded and we drove to my new school. When we stopped in front of the school I was surprised how big it was.
I smiled and climbed out of the car. "See you after school."Sal said. I nodded and walked inside. I took a breath and looked out the window. "Hi, I'm Emma. I was wondering if I could have my schedule."I said. "Right, you're the new kid. Great, here's your schedule and a list of clubs."she said. I grabbed them from her. "Thanks."I said. "No problem."she said. I nodded and walked out of the office and looked at my first class. Writing. I smiled and looked for the room. That's when the bell rang. Shit, I'm late. "Excuse me. Can I help you?"A voice asked.
I turned around to see the principal. "Yeah, I'm lost."I said. "Well, Miss. Quinn. Follow me."he said. I nodded and followed him to the room. He knocked on the door and opened it."Guys this is Emma."he said when I walked inside. He then walked out of the room. "Well, I'm Mr. Jackson. You'll be sitting next to Grace."he said. I nodded and sat by Grace.
After the bell rang Grace showed me to my next class. "Miss.Taylor, this is Emma."Grace said. "Nice to meet you."Miss.Taylor said. "You too."I said shaking her hand. "Right well, the project we're working on is something that could be put in a bed room or a house. So this is your work area."Miss.Taylor said. I nodded and started my project. I love art classes.
(I don't own this picture or any other picture in this book.)
I walked over to the teacher with my bowl in hand. "I finished."I said. She looked at it for a little bit and took it from me. I walked back to my desk and got my stuff ready as the bell rang. On the way to my third class there was a bunch of kids laughing and having fun with friends. I smiled and walked to my next class. This class looks fun. It's a computer class.
"Hi, you must be, Emma. I'm Mr.West."the teacher said. "You can sit right here."the teacher said. I nodded and sat down in the desk he showed me. "Alright, class we have a new face here and with some information that her dads gave the school I was able to make a slide show on her if she wants to look over it first."Mr.West said. I got up and looked at it. It was all true. "Are you okay with it?"he asked. I nodded and sat down.
"Alright, her really name is Emma Straight, but it was changed to Emma Quinn when she was adopted by four men. They are the stars of Impractical Jokers."Mr.West said. "Before she met the guys she has was in a foster home since she was a baby."Mr.West said. "She's thirteen years old and hasn't been in school of a long time due to being gifted."Mr.West said going on the last slide.
"Does anyone have any questions?"he asked. He pointed to someone with there hand up. "Pineapple or peanuts?"a voice asked. "Either, I can't have both of them."I said. They nodded and we started the class.

"Here you go."a lunch lady said. "Thank you."I said. "No problem."she said. I smiled and walked out to sit. I had finished my amazing food that tasted like food when I saw a kid push a girl with short hair. "Hey!"I yelled walking to them. I stood in the middle of them. "What do you think you're doing?"I asked.
"I'd move if I was you loser."Grace said. "No."I said. "What did you say?"Grace asked. "You heard me. I said No."I said. The kid moved away. I stepped back and punched her. She screamed in pain before she pulled me to the ground. She then kept on punching me in my right eye. The first two broke my glasses. She went and kept on going until a teacher pulled us apart. "Emma, Grace head to the office now!"one said. I nodded and walked to the office.
I sat in front of the principal with Grace at my side. "What there you guys thinking?"he asked. "On your first day too."he said. "I was standing up to Grace."I said. "And why was that?"he asked. "She was bullying someone in the lunch room."I said. He nodded. "Sit in the chairs guys. I'm calling your parents to take you home."he said. I nodded and walked out of his office.
"Thanks a lot new kid."Grace said sitting down. "No my fault you were bullying someone who didn't ask for it."I said. She was made at me. She then moved a couple seats away from me. I smiled and closed my eyes.
"Grace, what were you thinking?"her mom asked walking into the room. She then walked out of the office with a big black eyes. I'm glad I did that. She's had that coming. "Emma."Q said. I looked at the ground. He knelled in front of me. "Are you okay?"Sal asked. I didn't answer. "Excuse me, but can I talk to you four?"the principal asked. They nodded and walked into the office.
I took a breath. Please let this go well. I know it wasn't going to go my way.
