"Daddy~!" I hopped on the lump in the bed.
"Bill..." He groaned. I began to go to the top of the blanket and pull it off.
"Mommy said to wake you up! I'm going to School today!" I smiled.
"It's Monday already?" My father asked looking up.
"Yup, yup!" I replied.
"Go down and eat your breakfast I'll be right there." My father said. I happily walk down the stairs. My name is William or Bill Mech, I'm four and I live in a big, big white house in a city called Baton Rouge. I live with my daddy and mommy. My daddy is a handsome funny person. He wears a cap and is a mec-an-ic. My mommy is pergnat and has a big tummy, she's very pretty and nice. I have lots of friends and family and I love it here.
"Mommy! Daddy's getting ready!" I said walking into the Kitchen. My mother turned to me.
"Good now sit down and have your breakfast. I made your favorite, pancakes." She said. I joyfully hopped to the table and sat down. Mom put one big pancake with a dab of butter.
"I love you mommy." I said. I poured some syrup on my pancake and sliced it like a pizza.
"Sorry, I woke up late." My dad said entering the room. He was wearing his cap and mechanic full body suit.
"It's alright, here's your breakfast." She said laying down a small stack of pancakes in front of him.
"So buddy you excited to start school?" My father asked.
"Yeah!" I said nodding my head continuously.
"Good. Here's some more good news, your friends are gonna be in the same class as you." My father smiled.
"Yay!" I cheered. After I was done eating my father and I got in the car and drove to the school. I looked at the school. Two stories high, red and with lots and lots of windows. I held my father's hand as he led me to the class.
"Alright, alright settle down. Children sit in a circle and get ready." The teacher said. there were so many kids.
"Daddy, do you think I'll make lots of friends?" I asked.
"Of course Bill. Francis! Rochelle!" My father called out. I saw my friends, Ace, Josh and Amy. Our parents talked while we went into a circle.
"Alright Bill, it's time for me to go. Be a good boy!" My father said.
"Daddy!" I got up and grabbed his hand.
"Yes Bill?" He asked.
"You're not staying?" I asked.
"No Bill. I have to go. You'll have lots of fun. You're gonna love school. Bill, I'm gonna come back don't worry." He said getting on his knees to talk to me.
"Pinky promise?" I asked holding out my pinky.
"Pinky promise." He said locking pinkies with me.
"Bye daddy." I smiled.
"Bye Bill. Have a great day!" He said walking out the door. I got back in the circle. Our teacher assigned us cubbies and I put my coat and lunch inside.
"Alright everyone, I'll call out your name and you say here," The teacher said. "Marina Mist?"
"Here!"
"Johnathan Joy?"
"Here!"
"Amy Rekop?"
"Here!"
"Josh Rekop?"
"Here!"
"Will Mech?"
"How funny," I thought. "A boy has the same name as me."
"Will Mech? William Mech?" She said. I realized it was me and raised my hand.
"Here!" I said.
"Why didn't you respond when I called your name first?" She asked.
"I like being called Bill." I replied.
"Why not Will?" She asked.
"Bill was my grandpa's name." I said.
"I see. I'll call you Bill for now on but be aware if I call you Will once in awhile. Ace Etah?" She began calling out names again. After she was finished we all were aloud to play games. Me and Josh began to build with blocks and Ace was showing kids something...He said it was a gun...I wonder what a gun is. I'll ask dad. Then the teacher got mad at him. Well the whole day went good. Then she had us practice our hand writing.
Ace's looked really scribbly. Mine looked ok and Amy and Josh was good. I looked up at the clock. It was 1:56. (Kindergarten gets out at 2:00)
"School's almost over so clean up." The teacher said. We all cleaned up and said our goodbyes.
"Remember, show and tell tomorrow!" The teacher reminded. I nodded my head and the bell rang. Parents flooded into the room.
"Bill~!" A voice yelled.
"Daddy?" I called. He emerged from the crowd. I rushed to him.
"How was your first day of school?" He asked.
"Good!" I replied.
"Did you have fun?" He asked leading me to the car.
"Yup. Tomorrow's show and tell." I replied.
"Why don't you choose something when we get home?" My father asked, while we drove back home.
"Ok." I smiled. When I got home my father took me to my karate lessons. I mirrored my sen-sei's moves, better than the others.
"He's a prodigy in it, very talented." My sen-sei said to my father.
"He'll do great when he's older." My father smiled. Afterward we drove home and mom made dinner. She made friend chicken and apple pie.
"Mommy daddy? Can I ask you something?" I asked.
"Of course Bill we'll answer any question." Zoey said.
"Expect how babies are made." Ellis added.
"Can I bring our family picture to show-and-tell?" I asked.
"Of course Bill." My father smiled.
*The next day*
"Bill! Bill your next!" The teacher said. I scurried to the front of the class and pulled out my photo. It was of me, my father and mother when we went camping. I had the time of my life.
"This is when me and my family went camping," I said. "This is me, my mommy and my daddy."
"Did you have a good time?" My teacher asked.
"Yes." I replied.
"Recess!" The teacher said. I played outside with my friends, I brought my photograph.
"Daddy's boy." I heard a voice yell.
"Hm?" I turned. A bunch of kids were together.
"Daddy's boy!" The taunted pointing to me.
"Hmph." I said turning away. One ran up to me and took my photo.
"Hey!" I yelled. They tore the photo, shredded it. I stood there horrified. I went down to their knees and cried. Ace tackled them and began to fight with them.
"You freaking morons! That was my friends photo!" He yelled as he beat them up. Soon a teacher came and broke up the fight. Ace explained what they did and gave them and him detention. The teachers and Josh and Amy comforted me.
"Daddy!" I kept crying out, even if he wasn't there.
"I'll call your father." The teacher said. She raninside, in a few minutes my father was here. He rushed to me and held me close.
"Daddy, I'm sorry. I know your angry at me for letting them do this." I criend.
"No Bill it isn't your fault," He comforted. "I'd like to take Bill home now." He signed me out and we went to the car.
"Daddy I'm sorry." I said, still slightly crying.
"Bill, it's not your fault. Come on, I wanna take you somewhere special." My father said. We pulled up at the animal center. We walked in and my father talked to an assistant.
"How would I hep you today sir?" She asked.
"We'd like to adopt a dog." My father said. I looked at him happily.
"Really daddy?" I asked happily.
"Me and your mother have talked about it for awhile." My father replied.
"Come on in, pick one out." The assistant said. We walked into the shelfter. There were many dogs. I looked at many. Some lookd kind some looked angry, some cal some hyper. Though I came acroos one. A Puffy little puppy. I held my hand into the cage and he licked it.
"I want this one." I said pointing to the dog.
"Then he's yours. He's a Chihuahua Shih Tzu mix." The woman lifted him out of the cage and handed him to me.
"So Bill what is the name of our new dog?" My father asked. I thought for a minute.
"Puffster." I replied. My father laughed slighty.
"That's a cute name." He said. We took him home.
"Thank you daddy." I said playing with my little puppy.
"Anything for you Bill." He smiled.
"Thank you daddy. You're the best. I love you." I said. He hugged me and held me close.
"I love you too Bill." He said.I hugged him back.
"Oh and daddy." I said remembering something.
"Yes Bill?" He asked.
"There's another show and tell tomorrow. What can I bring?" I asked.
"Bring this." My mother said entering the room. She was holding grandpa's hat.
"Grandpa Bill's hat?" I asked.
"Yes your Grandpa Bill's hat." She said giving it to me. I put it on, and it covered my eyes. My parents laughed and hugged me and I hugged them back. We'll love each other forever.
