The first day of school started after the grrrrrr of the bell, everyone assembled together for principal Logan to address and talk to the students and teachers
"A new beginning, that is what this is" he jammed his hands slowly making a clap noise while he spoke "And while you were away for summer, the vandalized and stolen school properties and equipments were replaced, well if you haven't noticed" he paused and stoped jamming his hands "Sorry to tell you too that you be leaving through that gate forever" he pointed to the air "If you don't follow school rules, strict punishment" he used his hands to mention "Expulsion, suspension, we won't let what happened last year repeat itself" he shouted "Oh you forgot the school rules?, you would all be given a prospectus again, you read it but if you don't and you fall victim oh" he let out a dry laugh " You better read it cause....

Russel Elmer sighed, he  regretted showing up to his new school looking not tidy, he left his house late, his mom was a nurse and had returned home late that morning, he hurriedly skipped through the hallway of his new school and was accidentally bumped into, and strawberry froyo rubbed on his shirt, he didn't get a sorry from the girl just a "Watch it" look, he felt it was okay and there would be better days ahead in his new school, even after many attempts to wash it off his shirt the stain was still visible, that wasn't the only bad thing that happened to Russel, he couldn't wear his glasses, while cleaning his shirt in the bathroom, heads down and rubbing his hands furiously on his cloth, it fell to the toilet floor and before he could try to pick it up, a guy three times taller than him steeped on it and he it broke, the guy at least was a little bit remorseful and sorry, Russel told him it was fine and he walked away to the cubicle less worried, it was fine by Russel and he was also grateful he had a spare at home, but the spare wasn't as fancy as this, or any where better than this, he painfully looked at his favorite glasses frame, the spare looked like a professors glasses, he didn't want to think about. Russel picked up the remains of his best glasses, kept it back in it case and continued fussing about washing off the stain from his cloth and cursing the girl under his breath

"Can someone tell me the meaning of tirade" the principal asked and the hall suddenly became noisy, nobody stood up to talk but they spoke among themselves
"Yes" the principal pointed to the boy standing, the hall became calm and quiet again "Young man?"
"Uhhh Tirade means a long angry speech actually umm, criticizing someone or maybe a thing" he said scared and stuttering, not too sure he was right of his answer, people were looking at him like he just spilled out rubbish, and waiting to laugh

"What is your name young man?"
"Am Russel Elmer"
"Rusty zip your zipper" the principal said and everyone bursted into laughter, Russel was so ashamed, the zipper story was part of being in a hurry on his first day to school, and he knew he shouldn't have worn the pants his mom bought in a gay shop last month

"Rusty? That sounds like a funky name" someone shouted from behind, everyone laughed again
" No Ru-si-si-ell" Russell said slowly
" I still hear Rusty" A girl shouted
"Enough of it, enough now is Rusty right or wrong?" The principal asked
The "No" sound was much than the "Yes", the principal asked again, some weren't sure what the word meant

" Give Rusty a LR Clap, his correct"
They started clapping and his name began to echo as they started shouting his named mixed with there hand sound
"Rusty, Rusty, Rusty, Rusty, Rusty, Rusty, Rusty..........
And that was how Russel new to Little Rock High became popular, everyone forgot he was Russel Elmer but Rusty.
