The First Day of School
"Mom! Hurry up or I'll be late for school!"
Hi, my name's Zeke, Zeke Asakura, and I'm presently ten years old. I know you're probably wondering why I'm so eager to get to school. The truth is I've never been to school before. This is my first official day. I've been waiting for this day ever since I was five. For some reason my parents never wanted me to go to school. They hired a tutor to teach me at home. Finally,-after much insisting- I was able to convince my parents to let me got to school.
"Sorry, hunny! I was just…uh…fixing my hair. Listen, are you sure you want to-"
"Yes mom. I'm sure. We went over this a million times. I'm going to go to school no matter what you say. You can't change that. It's my final decision," I interrupted.
"Okay." "Miriam, you know you can never change Zeke's mind once he's made it up. He's just too stubborn." Miriam is my mother's name. My dad, laughed after his remark. He always made jokes.
"DAD," I whined. "Zeke, if you think about it you really are stubborn." "Don't forget insistent," my mom quickly added after that.
"That too, Miriam. Zeke, look how many times you kept asking us! I mean you never let us sleep without thinking about it!"
"So what if I WAS insistent? Why didn't you want me to go to school? Or even let me outside for that matter? Sometimes it's like your keeping something from me." My parents sadly looked at each other after this remark. "What," I asked eager to know the answer. "Nothing, hunny," was my mother's pitiful reply. "UGH! I can't stand this anymore! I gotta go. I'll be late for my bus. See ya!" On my way down the path that led to our door, I thought I heard my parents say something, but I just ignored it. I was already upset about what had just happened. I was finally able to go out on my own. I shouldn't be concerned with what happened. I was going to school. "Hey, kid! You new here?" I turned to look across the street where two boys were standing. "Uh…yeah," I decided to say, since I could think of no other answer. There was one boy with blond hair. The other had brown hair. "Where you going," the blond haired kid asked. "To the school down the street." The brown haired kid spoke up. "What a coincidence! We go to that same school. Wanna walk together?" The boy looked hopeful. "Sure. I see no harm in walking together." "Cool," the boys said simultaneously. They glanced towards both sides of the street, and then made their way across it towards me. "My name's Kevin. And this is Greg," the blond haired kid said as soon as they reached me. I sort of felt nervous since I've never met or talked to another human being besides my parents. "Hi! I'm Zeke. Zeke Asakura." "Hiya Zeke," Greg said happily. He seemed pretty excited to meet me. It sort of made me feel even more uncomfortable. "So, should we get going," I was finally able to ask. Kevin spoke this time. "Sure. Let's go." After walking about two blocks, we reached the school. On our way in, I caught sight of a young girl about my age. She was quite pretty. Her straight flowing blond hair sparkled in the sun, and her blue eyes could draw you into a stare. I found this out after she noticed me staring at her. It was so embarrassing. While I was still staring, she started coming up to me. "Hey, are you ok?" She was about two feet away from me. "Oh…uh…sorry." I'm pretty sure my cheeks flushed a deep red. "I guess I was just caught up in the moment," was my pitiful answer. I felt so ridiculous. I didn't even know how to talk to a girl! "Oh, ok. You might want to hurry or you'll be late for class." "Right." She turned then and, with a flick of her hair, walked away towards her group of friends. I guess Greg saw the amazed look on my face because he was the first to speak. "That's Diana. She's one of the prettiest and most popular girls in our class." "I see," was all I could say. Greg looked at Kevin. They exchanged a glance that said, "Oh boy! Just started school and he's already in the love boat." "Hey, Zeke. We better get going. We'll be late for class."
Back in the group… "Who was that," one of the other blonde haired girls in Diana's group asked. "I don't know. I guess he's new." Another curly haired brunette girl looked at Abey, the first girl who spoke. "Whoever he was, he sure was hot." "Lily," Diana exclaimed. "You know I don't like him, right. I've never even met him. Besides, he would probably never like me." The group of girls-there was five in the group- all looked at each other. They all new her last statement was a lie. "Oh please, Diana. Didn't you see how he was staring at you? You don't think that's a sign of love?" The girl who said this was a straight haired red head named Helen. "Well…maybe…um…he just got into a stare and he just happened to be looking this way?" "She's in denial," the girls said simultaneously. "Okay! Maybe a little." She received a stare from the girls. "Alright! Alright! I'll try talking to him." "Yes!" the girls cheered.
