chapter 3:so much for a welcome
~present~
"If X-98 =88, what is "x"?" asked Ms. Toadaline. "Errrmmm… Alyssa!" I snapped out of my trance. "Wah?" The mushroom children snickered. "She is so stupid! And emo! I wonder if all humans are like that?" I heard someone whisper. "I'm not emo, I just like the color black- okay, I LOVE the color black! And I just like really long bangs in my face- okay, so I LOVE long bangs in my face! And I occasionally cut myse-" "Ms. Brooksdale! Are you going to answer the question are not? "Oh! Uhh… 9?" All of the kids in my class groaned. "See me after class ms. Brooksdale." " math isn't worth my time anyways. I hate this stupid mushroom kingdom school."
After class, Ms. Toadaline and Alyssa were the only ones there. Ms. Toadaline sighed. "Alyssa, I'll be honest with you, your failing." She looked at the ground. "Now you have 2 choices. I can either call a social worker to come investigate your home," My heart skipped a beat. "Or, you can get your act together, FAST." I gulped. "Which one is it going to be?" "I'll get my act together…" I said. "Good, good. Well, I hope to see you improving! You are dismissed."
After that, I ran home. When I got there, I found a note on the door. "Alyssa: start packing because we're leaving tomorrow. Btw, cold lasagna in fridge, warm it up. Luv u, moms. I sighed to myself. I knew I had my work cut out for me.
When we got to the mansion, we were greeted by bowser and the kooplings. All except one little prince, who was sulking by the door."Hello, welcome to our castle! It's so nice to meet you!" Hey, these guys were kind of- nice. "Whateves."I replied back. That was the closest to being nice I was gonna be. If I be TOO nice, I break out in hives.
So not lying here. My mom gave bowser a kiss. "Hey!" Both me and Bowser Jr. said at the same time. "Oh yeah, let's go find you a room huh?" Bowser said. "Duh." My mother glared at me. I was trying to do everything in my power to keep him from liking me.
"Well, this is your room!" Bowser said once we got there. I just stared. This room looked to good to be true. Antique skeleton heads, an amp by my bed, 3 guitars in my room, red and black everywhere?! "I must be in heaven" I said to myself. "Well, do you LOVE it?" "It's cool" But the inside of me wanted to say, "Areyoukiddingthisisthebestroomeverjustthinkwhenip luginmymusicandunpackmyotheritemsitwillbeSOCOOL!" "Heh, glad you like it! You can get unpacked, and if you need anything, maids and servants are around, and that's pretty much it." Then he left.
Okay, I know I said I would try and sabotage him or whatever but…that can wait. At least for a few days. But how did he know that I liked guitars, the colors red and black, and antique skeleton heads? Whatever! Just as I was about to get unpacked, I heard Junior cough by my door. "Knock much?" I asked him.
"Might as well stop unpacking, crybaby. Because once the koopa family is done with you, you're going to wish you never moved here." "I kind of already do." "Hey, once you're out of the picture, then this will be the perfect family!" " what's wrong with you?" "I have my reasons for hating you." Then without another word, he left. "Oh boy. What did he mean by "Once I'm outta the picture"? Something was going on, I just knew it.
