"Super Mario Bros: 1st Day At School"
(Note: I don't own Super Mario Bros, Nintendo does. Blah-blah-blah…)
There I was. My shell all shined up and my toenails freshly painted. I was holding my brand new Barbie lunch box. Grade One was a scary place. It was my first day and all the first grades had to line up in a row. The girl behind me commented my coral pink toenails. She introduced herself as Peach. In front of me there was this chubby kid. His mother, who was sobbing uncontrollably, kissed him numerous times [on the cheek] and said some stuff in Italian. Or something. All I caught was the name Mario.
Later During Lunch…
I sat alone by the swings. Mr. Cuddles wasn't there and I felt said and afraid. I played with the sand for a bit. Then that Peach one stomped her foot on my mini sand castle.
"MY CASTLE! I'm the princess around here!!"
It scared me, then that tubby kid came up to me. He too, was all alone. He sat by me and helped me re-build my castle. He told me, yes indeed, he was Mario and he had a little brother named Luigi. He told me he wanted to be a plumber when he grows up and also told me not to mind Peach. He told me she was always bossy. And he didn't really like her. It was fun. Soon we had built a whole colony of sand castles and when Peach tried to come and smoosh them, Mario threw sand at her and she left us alone. Or so we thought. Shortly after, one of the teachers came by.
"Boys, now listen. I don't want you throwing sand at this poor, innocent girl."
When the teacher left, Peach gave us an evil grin and laughed wickedly at herself. Then she came by and ruined our castles. Mario got up; his face flushed, and smacked her hard. She clawed him, and he too clawed her back. Not too long later, that same teacher came by and took both of them into the office. The bell rang, and I ran to line up to get into class.
After School
ZOOM! Some mushroom boy just flew by on his bike. I was walking home with my new pal Mario. He was chewing some bubble gum loudly. He offered me a piece but Mother won't let me chew gum. It's bad for the teeth. Just then, Peach came by and yelled some profanity at us (words I still don't know what they mean…like the "f" word…bad). She stuck her tongue at Mario and Mario pulled her hair. She screamed and kicked Mario in the groin. Ooh, that gotta hurt. She left us. And Mario limped all the way to his home.
I made to my house too. And my mommy had just baked me some cookies. Oatmeal…yummy. Hey, maybe first grade won't be so bad.
