The First Day of School

by Cosette Due

This is a parody of the Everclear song "Wonderful." It's my creative way of venting my frustration from the first couple days of high school. Anyone that has ever been a freshman in high school should read this! Upperclassmen should read this, too, so

The first day of school

by Cosette Valjean

I close my eyes and open the door

I see people I never have before

Close my eyes and I count to ten

Hope the day's over when I open them

I want the things that I had before

Like my old school's teachers and those old three floors

I wish I could count to ten

Take me back to middle school again

Hope my schedule won't be too weird

And I'll figure out where I have to be

I hear the seniors and the juniors too

Hear more "freshman" comments than I ever wanted to

I forgot which locker's mine

I can't get to class on time

I don't believe seniors when they say

"Everything will be wonderful someday"

Schedules mean everything when you're little

And the school's so big

I just don't understand how

They can just push me and walk right by

Don't tell me everything is wonderful now
