Hello fellow readers! I welcome you to my one week Mentally Challenged Personal special! To those who would like to know more… These people are either disabled or have a hard time living normal lives like you guys and me. Autism, down syndrome, I mean you name it…
Anyway… those people are treated as weird. They aren't. Mentally challenged groups deserve more respect rather than having words behind their back. That's why I have taken a special interest in writing about them in my ONE WEEK SPECIAL! WHOO!
Disclaimer: I just don't want to go there…
"You're hilarious Pepper." Tony said sarcastically. He tried shaking the water out of his hair and clothes but only managed to spray down a couple of kids in the hallway. "Whoops! Sorry…" He sighed.
"Hey! You gotta admit that was hilarious Tony." Rhodey said holding his side. He hadn't even noticed how much he had laughed. Apparently Tony was called in to go to the Science Lab for a last minute check on Pepper's lab. Instead of helping out with a project he got sprayed down by 5 water guns, even the teacher got involved! It was not even April for all Tony cared. And now he was stuck with a wet t-shirt, thank god he just finished making his waterproof heart monitor.
"Okay! Fine, I'll say it. I'm sorry Tony." Pepper made sure to add her special, irresistible puppy dog eyes.
"Okay Pepper! You got me! It's alright!" Tony said laughing. As he kept walking on Tony forgot to look in front of him. "Ah!" He fell down and rubbed his head.
"Sorry. It's sorry right? Or I'm sorry? Sorry I'm? I don't know what is going on!" Tony met eyes with a girl he just wanted to get away from. Her brown hair was frizzy and was pulled back into a messy bun. She had some acne and freckles that didn't match. Her black Harry Potter glasses just made her look like a complete freak.
"Ah… It's okay?" Tony quickly stood up and backed away. He dropped his book and before he could reach for it, the girl scooped it up for him and handed it to him. But then as Tony reached for it, she snatched it back with a snort. Then she did the most unthinkable she ripped the book apart.
"Whoa! Hey!" Rhodey and Pepper said in unison. Tony had his mouth open in absolute shock. Slowly from his forehead down, crimson covered his face as if it was a blush.
"Hehe! Ha! It was a book! A book that has pictures! I don't like pictures!" The girl dropped the torn up book and ran off towards a classroom.
"Who was she?" Rhodey asked.
"I don't care. I am going to murder that girl! These were my specs for my heart monitor! Nothing lives forever!" Tony knelt down and picked up the scraps.
"Guys, leave her alone. That's Rebecca she has Autism. It's not funny. She probably didn't mean to ruin your work Tony, but when you have Autism things get slowly into their head. It's hard being autistic." Pepper had her hands on her hips. "Don't make fun of her. Please, it's hard being her anyway."
"Pepper I wasn't even thinking about doing that. But… she has autism? Rebecca. Rebecca? That does ring a bell. She sent a kid from gym class to the nurses office for hitting them in the head with a tennis racket." Rhodey said. He leaned across the lockers. Rhodey bent down and helped Tony up. "You'll be okay right?"
"Rhodey… I'll be fine. All I need is to figure out my specs out again before my heart monitor gives out itself." He chuckled. "But I do want to talk to Rebecca." Rhodey and Pepper looked shocked.
"WHAT? SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG!"
"Pep… calm down. I'm not gonna do anything to her. I just want to talk. In fact I have an idea. Something where student like her can feel at home. You guys wanna help?" Tony didn't wait for an answer. He didn't care if his friends didn't accept; he was going to the principal right now and was going to tell him his plan. His new goal: Make every student in Tomorrow Academy feel at home.
Next chapter tomorrow will include Tony's plan and another disabled student. Remember they're human just like us, just different.
As always… wait for it… wait for it… Review
