Ah fourth grade. Finally. I've always hated third since Cynthia was making my life a living hell. I hat her so much. I don't get what I ever did to her. I got dressed in some leggings and a plain white shirt with some air Jordan 1 retro high og sneakers. . I grabbed my backpack and walked downstairs. I ran to my father and he gave me a hug and gave me my lunch. He picked me up and took me to the car. I got to sit in front seat for once I was so excited.
Dad- are you excited.
Me- I- daddy I'm scared.
Dad- it's okay honey. Your going to have a great first day.
I smiled and held out my pinky for him to hold it. He put his pinky out and we linked them together. I giggled and we got to school. I kissed my dad goodbye and I walked inside. I walked to the cafeteria and sat down. A few kids say next to me but I didn't mind. Diego took the bus so he would be here in a little. I heard my name being called and I looked over and seen Diego. I waved to him and he walked over to me.
Diego- hi
Me- hi Diego
Diego- are you gonna eat?
Me- I'm not really hungry.
Diego- okay.
He sat down and so did I. We started talking when I boy with dimples sat down and said- hi Diego.
Diego- hi ale.
Ale- who's this?
Diego- oh this is my twin sister. Her name is Yn.
Me- hi
Ale- hi I'm alejandro rosario but you can call me ale.
Me- okay
We talked for a while and we lined up at our teachers. Diego got behind me and mrs.george said- hey kiddos. Oh yn what a nice surprise.
Me- hi mrs. George.
She waved and led the line to her classroom. We walked in and out our backpacks in our cubbies along with out lunches and jackets. She gave us assigned seats. I sat in front of of Diego and ale sat next to him. Mrs. George has us draw a picture. It could be any picture. I started drawing and mrs. George said- class this is mattia.
Everyone- hi Mattia.
Mattia- hi.
Mrs. George- go sit next to Yn.
Mattia- who's Yn?
Ale- her. He pointed at me while I started drawing.
Diego- woah Yn lookin good.
Me- thanks Diego. It's not even almost done but is somewhat of done.
Ale- woah looks creepy.
Me- ya think?
Ale- ya
I giggled and Diego said- mine looks horrible.
Me- you drew penny wise how is that horrible?
Ale- oh hey Mattia.
Mattia- hey ale.
I looked over at the clock and said- fuck we only have 2 more hours.
Diego- Yn dad told us about saying those words.
Me- right sorry.
Diego- just don't say them.
Ale and mattia kept talking and I finished my drawing. I also colored it.
I looked at it and said- done.
Ale- can I see?
Me- sure.
I turned it around to him and he said- woah. That's pretty cool but it's kinda scary.
Diego- it really is scary.
Me- and I thought you weren't scared of anything.
Mrs. George walked around and got to our table. She picked up my drawing and said- you can draw?
Me- yes I can.
Mrs. George- wow. This is-
Ale- amazing.
Mrs. George- it really is. We should switch you to an art class.
Me- oh I already have that as one of my electives.
Mrs. George- I will be right back with this.
She walked away and I said- here we go again.
Diego- every year
Ale- every year what?
Me- every year I draw a picture and when I teacher sees it they react like that. They show everybody they know and they call my dad and offer me to go to an art academy.
Ale- why don't you go then?
Diego- should we talk about something else?
Me- yeah we should
Ale- um. Okay.
Mrs. George walked back into the classroom with a whole bunch of teachers.
Mrs. George- this is the girl right here.
She pointed at me and all the teachers surrounded me.
Mrs. Jenny- oh yn. This is a wonderful drawing.
Me- thank you.
Ms. Franklin- you are very talented.
Mrs. George- we should give her father the opportunity to send her to an academy.
Me- no!
They all looked at me and said- why not?
Diego- she doesn't want to talk about it. It hurts too much.
They understood and left.
Me- finally I could breath.
Diego- I'm sorry about that
Tears formed in my eyes and I said- I just want to go home. I put my head down and Diego hugged me. I looked up and hugged him back. Ale walked over to me and hugged me. Right then and there I knew we would be bestfriends till the end.
