I Need To Tell You My Story

Chapter: 1 First Day

Hi I'm Lucille May Smith and I'm 23. I was born on May the 2nd 1991. That's why my middle name is May. I live in the small town of Buies creek. It's really small. No not 40 miles small I mean I could ride my bike to the end of Buies Creek within 10 minutes. I'm a tomboy. I've never really been into dresses or skirts. My dad passed away when I was 1 so it didn't really affected me at the time but my mum it affected her because her high school love was gone. Now I am married to Lincoln Neal the love of my life and we have two beautiful children Lucy who's 6 and Lando who's 2. I know what you're thinking. Oh my god you had your first child at 17! Yeah I did. Get over it. Anyway this is my story...

"Lucille time to go!" I heard my mother yell from the kitchen. I just finished putting my pink striped shirt, my jeans, my suspenders and my neon purple Jim boots on (yes fashion in the 90's was really weird) when I ran downstairs to my mother. We ran out to the car and hopped in. I strapped into my little booster seat. I looked out the frosty window as my mother drove off to school.

When my mother opened the door of my 1st grade class all I could hear was crying kids and mothers telling them the will be back soon. The room has a white board and lots of posters with numbers and letters and colours on them. There's one with a rainbow on it saying safe and sound. I like that song. (Ok I know safe and sound by Taylor Swift was only made this or last year but let's just pretend it was made in 1997). It's probably just a poster to make kids feel safe in the classroom but it reminds me of the song. I put my bag in the cubby that says Lucille. "Have fun honey love you bye" my mum said kissing me on the forehead and rushing out of my classroom. Kids are lucky they get a nice heartwarming speech from their mum or dad. My mum only sees me when she takes me to school. She works 9am-9pm. Hopefully when I'm older I can see her at 9pm. She works at a bakery but it's outside of town in the city of Mackintile so it's really busy. But the favourite part of my day is when I get picked up by the after school care bus and when I get home there's a donut from mums bakery in the fridge for me. I'm a responsible 6 year old. I have to be. I have to look after myself sometimes. Pretty much all the time except for mornings and at school.

"So my names Mrs. Locklear and today we will be doing class circle and then we will say our abc's and learn to count to 100" she said. "But I already know how to count to 100" two kids said. They wear glasses so they must be smart. "Put your hand up if you know how to count to 50" Mrs. Locklear said. Everybody except me put their hand up. Everybody laughed at me. Except for one boy. He is one of the boys who put his hand up when Mrs.Locklear asked if we know how to count to 100. He has black scruffy hair and he has glasses and cute little dimples. I'm already falling in love with him. "Everybody be quiet don't laugh at other kids" she said putting her finger up to her pursed lips. Everybody stopped laughing. Pretty obedient 6 year olds. "IM A DINOSAURUS IM GOING EAT YOU!" The boy with black hair and glasses said scaring a few kids by chasing them around the room and making dinosaur noises. Me and another boy who just walked in the room joined the boy with black hair and glasses. "Children sit down at once?!" Mrs. Locklear snapped. We chased them until Mrs. Locklear walked over to us. Then we all sat down. "Sorry about that children it's ok it's okay" Mrs. Locklear said. "You three detention after class over at that table" she said a bit angry pointing to a small table with 4 chairs and a tin of pencils, pens and crayons on the table. We all nodded and giggled. "Now class let's form a circle and do class circle" Mrs. Locklear said like none of that just happened. We formed a circle on the carpet and a small girl with long locks of blonde curly hair started talking. "My names Christy Lamont and I like butterflies and Barbie dolls" she said. "I'm Jessie Smalls and I like American girl dolls and Caterpillars" a girl with shoulder length dark brown hair said. It went on like this until the boy with black hair and glasses spoke. "I'm Charles Lincoln Neal the third but you can call me Lincoln and I like dinosaurs and lizards" he said. Lincoln. He has a pretty nice name. Kinda like Abraham Lincoln. Then the other boy who was a dinosaur with me and Lincoln spoke. He has blondeish brownish hair and the front sticks up. "I'm Rhett McLaughlin and I like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and spiders" he said. Rhett and Lincoln. I hope they can be my friends. "I'm Lucille May and I like drawing and lizards" I said as Lincoln smiled at me. The bell rung. I can see kids running out of classes frantically through the window in the door. "Class dismissed except for Rhett, Lincoln and Lucille" Mrs. Locklear said as every single kid ran out the doors. Jessie winked at Rhett before running after her friend Christy. "Ok you guys and girl can go do some colouring at the table" Mrs. Locklear said as us three walked to the table. "I'll be at my desk listening to my music on my walkman so if you need anything tap on my desk" she said walking to her desk and putting her headphones in and flipping through yellow files. We sat down. Me in the middle of the boys. We all grabbed a animal colouring in page. We all ended up with a chicken which has a sunrise behind it. Lincoln is so cute. When he smiles his freckle covered dimples show and his fringe flows just above his eyebrows coming down to one side. His glasses are a round but at the same time square shape. He he he...is perfect. "I'm Lincoln" Lincoln said. I smiled and kept my head down looking at my colouring in. "Are you ok?" Lincoln said as Rhett just ignored us and coloured in. "Oh yeah I was just deciding what colour I should use" I said grabbing a red crumbly crayon and colouring in the wing. "Lincoln wanna meet at the bridge again?" Rhett said. Lincoln nodded. Rhett looked at me then at his colouring then at Lincoln. "Is she always this shy and quiet?" Rhett asked Lincoln. "No I'm not shy I talk a lot even my mum says so" I said reaching for the blue. Rhett's cheeks turned a bubble gum pink. "I wish I could draw as good as you to" rhett said crumpling his picture and putting it in the trash. "You need pr pr" Lincoln said before I cut him off by saying "practise". "Yeah pr well whatever Lucille just said" Lincoln said. We all giggled and continued our drawings. I know we are going to be best friends forever...
