"Now Bill, what are you going to do?" Stanley asked
I groaned. I was now twelve years old, and today was my first day at Gravity Falls Elementary. After all, I couldn't be home-schooled forever.
"I'm going to try my best, make friends, and behave." I recited in a boring voice.
"Say it like you mean it this time."
"Dad, I'm going to be fine! The only thing that really bugs me is this boring uniform." I whined. The school dress code said that students had to wear collared polo shirt, that had to be in the color of either maroon, navy blue, white, or grey. As well as kaki pants, and shoes that could only be in one of the uniform colors. You even had to have your shoelaces in uniform color!
"Bill, we've discussed this already. School uniforms allow students to focus more." Stanley reminded me. Even if he is a really awesome dad, he can be a pain sometimes.
"Give him a break, Stanley, the kid can handle himself!" Stanford defended me.
After what felt like forever, I finally went off to school. There was no need for me to be dropped off, since the town was so small and school wasn't that far away. I felt a little nervous, after all, I was never out playing with any of the other kids for my entire life. Instead, I would stay inside and read some amazing novels that the Stan twins had written together, or have some time to myself in the forest, sitting alof one of the pine trees (A/N: Please tell me I'm not the only one who loves hanging out in a huge pine tree).
Once I arrived at Gravity Falls Elementary, I stopped to look at the building. It wasn't that grand, but it was in a much better condition compared to my house. The walls were made of solid brown-ish bricks, with a rotunda as the main entrance. The roof was flat, and red letters that spelled "Gravity Falls Elementary" were placed on the side. I took a deep breath, and walked inside.
The interior wasn't as spectacular either. Just white tiles that covered the floor of the school. The hallways had carpeted flooring, and the walls were tan, with maroon lockers that made them look less bare. As well as the fact that the hallways were pretty small, so it would be easy finding my way to all of my classes. Several students filled the school, which made me feel very nervous. I just took a deep breath.
It's not like you're going to have to make friends right now, besides, you have to get to class. I thought to myself.
I was walking over to my first class, Math, when a group of intimidating boys walked up to me.
"Hey, look! It's that freak that hides inside all the time!" pointed out the biggest one, the leader of the pack. He had brown-ish hair, and tan-ish skin (A/N: DQWKUQRSRORJB!), with a big ugly smirk on his face. All eyes turned towards me.
"You never go out, do you, Billy-Bob Joe? Are you a monster that has to be kept in a cage, by your parents, becuase they're too embarrassed to even show your face to the public?" the same boy said. Everyone cracked up, while I stood there, silent.
"Either way, you're still just some kind of mistake. You should have never been born. After all, there are only two people in this universe that even care about you. He punched me hard in the chest, and I tumbled on the ground. I was then being puched, kicked, and physically hurt all over my body.
"STOP IT!" a female voice cried out. A girl and boy who both had red hair jumped into action, and they began fighting all the other kids, until they eventually ran away. Once the others were gone, the girl helped me up. I had bruises in several areas, and was bleeding in a few places.
"Are you okay?" she asked me.
"I'm fine." I responded.
"That was Brendon you just ran into. He's a big jerk!" replied the boy, who was very large and muscular. "I'm Dan, and this is Ruby."
"Brendon may be tough, but we can take him down easy." Ruby smiled.
"Thanks guys. My name is-" I was interupted by Dan.
"Everybody already knows your name, Bill. A lot of the other kids have been spying on you out in the woods, and they've made some pretty nasty rumors that aren't true." Dan explained.
"So that's why Brendon and other kids started beating me up?" I asked. Dan and Ruby nodded.
"But hey," Ruby reassured me, "we don't believe any of that, and we're happy to hang out with you!"
"Really?" I smiled.
"Sure thing! We could always use a smart guy to help us out!" Dan nudged me.
The tardy bell rang. We were out there for way too long.
"Let's get going." I said. Turns out, we all had the same class schedule. I guess it was because this school is so tiny.
Maybe this year won't be so bad after all.
