Gone Through Life

Chapter 3: First Day of Dread

Caiden got through her toddler years and is now starting kindergarden because she is five years old. That means Jacob is fifteen, Cory is thirteen, and Caleb is twelve.

"Mom, we need to leave now or I won't be able to get my permeant," Jacob bellowed. Toady is his birthday and he is turning fifteen today which means he gets his permeant. He is ready to go but his mother is having to get Caiden ready for her first day of school.

"Mommy I don't want to go to school. It's not fair that Jacob doesn't have to go but I do. Is it true that he won't go to school anymore soon?" Caiden complained.

"It is true that he won't go to school anymore soon, but I know you will love school. You'll have a great time." Mrs.McGrady said positively. Caiden knew she was lying right through her teeth. She heard to many stories from her three brothers about the conditions of school. Sadly, she wouldn't be able to go with Jacob since he was checking out in the middle of the day, that's why he had to dispart. See, his last periods are his free periods, so he don't have to stay.

"Don't lie to her Mom," Jacob stated,"She has heard a quantity of tales from us about school. She knows that today begins her misery." Mrs. McGrady shot Jacob a disgusted look.

"Me want Jacob to go with me," demanded Caiden. She was defiantly stubborn in all ways imaginable.

"I can't Caiden, sorry. In the middle of the day I'm checking out. Also, we go to completely different schools," Jacob spoke with a gentle voice. Caiden was disappointed and her face said it. Jacob felt terrible for his sister. He prayed no body picked on his sister, and if they did they would be expected to answer to him.

Caiden arrived at school with a frown that could ruin anyones day. Her teacher was Mrs. Buckeye who had brown hair pulled into a bun, lips with bright red lipstick smeared upon them, and appeared as if she was sucking on lemons. Mrs. Buckeyes appearance would make a Tyrannosaurus rex yelp in fear, and her big, grey eyes turn you to stone. Caiden was horrified so terribly that she took jurassic measures.

The teachers ran after Caiden as she raced down through the school. She was pouring with tears and screaming at the top of her lungs. All Caiden felt was fear about the teacher. Then, she stopped in the middle of the hallway, turning a bright green and then white.

"Where do you think you were going miss-"Mrs. Buckeye got interrupted. Huge gobs of oatmeal from Caiden's breakfast was now all over Mrs. Buckeye's new, ninety dollar shoes from Paris. She was now enraged with furry from the sight of her shoes drowning in vomit and she was disgusted.

Caiden was now even more afraid so she ran to this small room close to what seemed like the office. The small room reminded her of a doctor's office, especially when she saw a tall, slender woman with long, blond, curly hair and pink scrubs. The nurse noticed that Caiden had some vomit all over and felt compassion for her and took her to the bathroom to get cleaned up. Caiden was not afraid of the woman, for she spoke with a soft voice and was extremely kind.

"Are you a kindergardener?" The nurse asked. Caiden shook her head yes with a sad face.

"You have Mrs. Buckeye, don't you?" the nurse asked and got a yes from Caiden," yeah, she seems scary doesn't she? Well, then I have great news. Since you threw up, then you get to go home." Caiden then began to smile at the sound of that. The kind nurse took Caiden's temperature and the monitor read ninety-seven point seven. After a while, Mrs. McGrady showed up and took Caiden home. They got her in some new clothes and went to get Jacob to get his permit.

"Well, how did you get out of it?" Jacob asked when he entered the car. Caiden gave him a devious smile.

"She through up on her teacher's shoes after she had to chase her down the hall while she screamed and cried," Mrs. McGrady explained," I think I'm going to put her in a home-schooling program. I know someone who home-schools her child and said that she would be delighted to have Caiden. She can start tomorrow."Jacob just laughed at the sound that his sister won't have to got to that horrible place, but he did. He was astonished at his mother's words.

The driver's test was over and Jacob left with a shinny, new permit. Mrs. McGrady allowed him to transport them home only if he took a back road where there isn't that much traffic.
