chapter 4 first day of school
"It's morning," Lion-o said.
"So in other words time to get up," Liosia said. "Speaking of which we need to wake up Lyla soon, because it's her first day of school," she said.
"I'll wake her up," Lion-o said. He went into Lyla's room. "Lyla," he said shaking her awake.
"Five more minutes," Lyla said.
"Come on Lyla it's time to wake up," Lion-o said.
Lyla pulled her blanket over her head. Lion-o pulled the blanket away. "Come on Lyla you don't want to be late for your first day school," Lion-o said.
Lyla woke up after that. "I'm up," she said. Then she got dressed.
"Okay Lyla it's time for breakfast." Lion-o said.
"Hooray," Lyla said.
"I made waffles," Snarf said.
Lyla was eating her breakfast. "Lyla I will take you to school soon," Lion-o said when they were finishing up breakfast.
"Hooray," Lyla said.
"Now that we are done with breakfast, let's get going," Lion-o said.
"Then let's hurry up," Lyla said.
They headed for the school. "Look it's a big school," Lyla said with wide eyes.
"Of course, and keep in mind this school can be very competitive so do your best, and also be on your best behavior," Lion-o said.
"Yes daddy," Lyla said.
"Well if it isn't the lord of the Thundercats fancy seeing you here," a voice said.
Lion-o looked and saw a leopard coming up. "Oh hello council member Lero," Lion-o said.
"So this is your adopted daughter I got say she is fine little girl and very beautiful," Lero said.
"Thank you," Lion-o said.
"This my daughter Leponi, she is in one of the kindergarten classes." Lero said.
"Nice to meet you lord of the Thundercats," Leponi said bowing.
Lyla was surprised to see a kid her age have such manners. "Okay now we don't want our children to be late," Lion-o said.
"Lord Lion-o you think we can talk sometime the other council members and I feel that there are things we must discuss with you one on one," Lero said.
"Possibly but not today," Lion-o said. "Come Lyla let's go meet your headmaster," he said.
"Okay," Lyla said.
"Greetings lord Lion-o I am headmaster Carlo," Carlo said.
"Nice to meet you and this is my daughter Lyla," Lion-o said.
Lyla came up and looked up at Carlo. "Nice to meet you," Lyla said.
"You will call me Mr. Carlo," Carlo said.
"Yes Mr. Carlo," Lyla said. She could see Mr. Carlo was dedicated to his job and loved it very much.
"Very good, now this is Tali she is the school nurse," Carlo said.
"Hello Ms. Tali," Lyla said.
"Call me Tali I let all the children call me that," Tali said.
"Okay," Tali said. She could see Tali was nice and friendly and caring which was fitting for a school nurse.
"This is our vice headmaster Valo," Carlo said.
"Nice to meet you Mr. Valo," Lyla said.
"I expect a lot from you Ms. Lyla so do your best," Valo said.
"Yes Mr. Valo," Lyla said. She could see Mr. Valo was understanding but also could tell that he expected to the students to behave and to do their best.
"Okay we have other people to meet this is our P.E. teacher Mr. Chet," Carlo said.
"Alright expect you to participate in the class young lady I hate slackers," Chet said.
"Yes Mr. Chet," Lyla said. She made note not to get on Mr. Chet's bad side.
"This our art teacher Mrs. Catrina," Carlo said.
"Hello Lyla I am happy to meet you and can't wait for you to start making art in my class." Mrs. Catrina said.
Lyla liked Mrs. Catrina she was nice.
"Okay next our guidance councilor, Ms. Seria," Carlo said.
"Come to me if you have any problems," Seria told Lyla.
"Okay," Lyla said nodding.
"Now let's take you to meet your teacher," Carlo said. They walked down the hall.
"This school is bigger inside than out," Lyla said.
"Don't worry we will help you find your way for the first few days so you don't get lost," Carlo said. "Here we are, this is Ms. Kali's room, she is your teacher," he said. He opened the door. "Ms. Kali we have the new student," he said.
"Great," Kali said.
Lyla walked into the room. "Everyone we have a new friend joining us today," Kali said. "Everyone this Lyla daughter of the lord and lady of the Thundercats," she said.
"Hi Lyla," the class said.
One cub raised her hand. "Yes Tamora," Kali said.
"How can they be your parents your white," Tamora said.
"I was adopted," Lyla said.
"Oh," the class said.
"A couple of the children in here were probably adopted just like you Lyla," Kali said. "Now go find a seat," she said.
Lyla found a seat and sat down. "Hi, I'm Lyla," she said to the boy.
"Hi Lyla I'm Adalo," Adalo said.
"Nice to meet you," Lyla said.
"Nice to meet you too," Adalo said. He seemed small for age.
"Look shorty Adalo made a friend," a kid from behind said.
The other kids laughed.
"What are they laughing about?' Lyla asked.
Adalo just hid his face in his hands.
"Okay class, let's start," Kali said.
"Yes Ms. Kali," the class said.
Lyla felt bad for Adalo being laughed at like that had to feel bad just for being short. So she decided what Adalo needed was a friend. But right now she had to focus on class.
Recess rolled around and all the kids started to play. "Hey Adalo," Lyla said.
"Hey Lyla," Adalo said.
"Why are you over here by yourself?" she asked.
"Because nobody let's me play with them and I know you probably won't either," Adalo said.
"Actually," Lyla said. "I would..." she said.
Then a couple of kids came up. "Hey Lyla how about you play with us?" the cub said.
"Who are you?" Lyla asked.
"I'm Clat," Clat said.
"And I Darvi," Darv said.
"No thanks, I want to play with Adalo," Lyla said.
"Why play with shorty?" Clat asked.
"Because it looks like he needs a friend," Lyla said. "Are you squinting do you wear glasses and aren't wearing them?" she asked Clat.
"Okay I have glass but I took them off, many kids who are different are teased by Leponi and her snobby friend so she says if I don't wear my glasses I would be liked," Clat said.
"I doubt that, I know Pumyra a Thundercat and she wears read glasses and everyone likes her at the base and they are her friends," Lyla said.
Clat put his glasses on. "So I don't look geeky?" he asked.
"No you look nice," Lyla said.
"I agree," Darvi said.
"Me too," Adalo said.
"As you can see I have braces," Darvi said. "Leponi told me I must make sure no one sees them our will be alone in the school yard." she said
"You look fine," Lyla said.
The others agreed. "So how about we play together?" Lyla asked.
"Okay," the three of them said.
The four cubs began to play and the bell rang.
In afternoon Lyla was picked up. "How was school?" Lion-o asked.
"It was great," Lyla said.
"I'm glad you liked it, tomorrow means more school," Lion-o said.
"Oh boy," Lyla said.
