Mutant Academy... this is my new school. I just moved from Los Angles, California to New York. My name is Ale Kataku and I am a Junior. My mother and father wanted me to go to Mutant Academy because my Uncle is the principal there. When I was told about this, I was shocked. What kind of school is Mutant Academy and why is it called that? I found my answer on my first day of school.
I arrived at the school gates early in the morning. I am wearing a light blue sweater and black skirt. The campus was quiet and no one to be seen. I pulled a pack of gum from my handbag and popped one in my mouth. I chewed and blew bubbles. Mutant Academy has dorms for the students to live on the campus. The campus is so beautiful. There were tall, green trees all lined in a row by the pathway and the grass was super green. There were flowerbed and rosebush, the courtyard was splashed with red, orange, yellow, pink and light purple rosebushes.
My Uncle told me to meet him at the water fountain at 6. He said it was in the middle of the courtyard and I can't miss it. Well, i got lost but I finally found the water foundation but no Uncle. I checked my green wristwatch and it was 5 minutes till 6. Guess I got there early. I sat on one of the benches, set my handbag by my feet and waited. I was exhausted, I barely slept a wink last night. I closed my eyes, yawned and stretched my arms over my head. Then, I heard something rolling towards me and someone yelling "Watch out dude." I could avoided it but I can't, not here. I opened my eyes and I saw someone with green skin with an orange mask on his face riding on a skateboard was heading towards me. He wore green sweatshirt and sweatpants with gray strips running down the side of his pants. On his sweatshirt, the logo of what seemed to be for Mutant Academy was ironed on. He crashed at me and we both fell into the water fountain. I was lucky I had my cell phone in my handbag. I notice something heavy was on top of me, IT WAS THE GIANT MUTANT TURTLE! I pushed him off of my and squirted water at his face.
"Hey! What was that for?" he yelled at me.
"Me? Why didn't you watch where you were going?"
"Whoops, sorry about that dude. " He put his hand behind his head and chuckled and smiled. He stood up and offered me a hand. I grabbed his hand and he pulled me up from the water. Great, now I'm soaked. I squeezed the water from my shirt and my shorts as best I could. I took off my shoes and did the same to my socks. The giant turtle stood in front of me, observed me. Then something clicked in my head.
"Ummmm by the way, are you... like.. a... mutant?"
"Shell yea I'm a mutant and I'm proud to be one," he grinned.
Oh no, if he is a mutant and this academy is called Mutant Academy... does this mean he is not the only mutant here?"
"Ah shell, I got to go. I'm late on my paper route. See ya letter dude." he grabbed his skateboard and skated away.
"WAIT! I DIDN"T GET YOUR NAME!" I yelled at him but he was out of sight. I sigh and sat back down. I looked at my watch again. 6:59, Uncle better get here. I haven't see my Uncle since I was three. I took a picture out of my handbag and admired it. The picture was of a little girl with short brown pigtails sitting on a young Japanese man's lap. The little girl is me and the young man is my Uncle. He had short brown hair and brown eyes. He was smiling at the camera when my dad took the picture. Before I left, my parents told me that my uncle kinda changed and to not be too surprised when I see him. I wonder what they meant.
I heard the school bell ringed six times. That means it's six o' clock now. I stood up and I brushed lint from my clothes. But no sign of uncle.
"Were you waiting for me Ale?"
I turned around and I screamed and fell to the ground. In front of me was a giant mutant rat wearing a robe and holding a wooden stick in his right hand. He had brown eyes and a white beard from his chin.
"Sigh I knew this would happen." He stepped forward and offered me his hand. I hesitated, then grabbed his hand and he pulled me up.
"You have grown Ale, I still remember when you were a little girl."
"Un..cle?" I choked out the words, "Is that you?"
Yes, it is me. Uncle Yoshi, but now I go my Splinter."
"What happened to you? And why did you change your name Uncle?"
"All in good times Ale. But now, I am sure you are tired from your trip. I will show you to your dorm and you will start school tomorrow. He grabbed one of my luggages and leaded me to a pink three-floor building.
"This the Girl's Dorm. On the other side of the campus is the Boy's and it is blue so you shouldn't get confused." as he chuckled.
We enter the elevator and he pressed the button with a 3 on it.
"My room is on the third floor?"
"Yes, and you have no roommates, so you have the room to yourself."
"Sweet."
When the elevator opened and Uncle stepped out and turned left. I followed as I looked out the windows. The campus looks really pretty from up here, I can't wait to wake up to this sight every morning.
He stopped at a room with numbers 404 painted above the door. He pulled out a kay that was engraved with 404 on it.
"This is your room and this is your key to open the door. If you lose this key, you will have to pay $5 to replace it okay."
"Yea sure Uncle. Umm say Uncle, can i call you Principal Splinter instead of Uncle suring school?"
"Sure, but why not Uncle?"
"Well... you know.. you are the principal here and it seems right if I can you that."
"Mmmm okay."
Whew, I'm glad that I don't have to say Uncle during school. He unlocked the door and he opened the door. I walked and gasped. There were two green sofas, a coffee table, a bookshelf, and a T.V. in the living room. The kitchen was amazing, a big refrigerator, a electric stove, an island and a big sink. I was surprised, I saw two doors on the left side of the room. I opened the first one and I saw that it was a closet with four hangers inside. I closed the door and opened the other door. inside was two beds and one big, tall, enormous window that was faced towards the center of the courtyard, where the roses were an the water foundation.
Wow, this is amazing Uncle!"
"I am pleased that you like it."
"Like it, I LOVE IT!"
Uncle Yoshi chuckled and set my luggage down near one of the beds.
I will let you get settled in and get some rest. you start school tomorrow and class start at eight so please don't be late." He walked towards the front door that leaded towards the hallway.
"i won't be late Uncle. And sorry for what happened at the courtyard. I was.. you know?"
"Surprised?"
"Yes, my parents warned me but the did not tell me about this."
"It is alright. I must go. I have work to do."
Uncle Yoshi was about to close the door behind him.
"Oh and by the way, the population of this students in this school is 99% made up of mutants. You are the only human student here." He closed the door behind him.
I dropped my handbag ad repeated what Uncle said in my head.
"WHATTTTTTTTTTT?!"
