"John, I swear to god wake up. You have your first day of kindergarten come on be excited." My mom said as she pulled off my covers.

"No!" I said and pulled my covers back on. I did not want to go to school with all those weird kids from the orientation. But my mom wasn't having that and she pulled off my covers again and tossed some clothes at me. I groaned but decided that I may as well get dressed.

I went downstairs and my mom handed me a bowl of Cheerios. Ew, why couldn't I have fruit loops. And of course my mom poured way too much milk on the Cheerios so they were soggy. I ate a couple bites and when my mom wasn't looking I tossed the rest in the garbage.

"John it will be fun and you can make some friends." Mom said.

"No, it won't be fun. And I'm too good to make friends with those toddlers." I responded.

"Ha, John get rid of the attitude. Everyone is equal." She said.

"Everyone is equal." I said in a mocking tone.

"John…" My mom warned. We didn't talk for the rest of the car ride. When we got to school mom walked me in and to my classroom.

"Okay, here we are. Have fun, I'll come pick you up after school today." Mom said before giving me a quick kiss on the head. I walked in and saw all the stupid kids from orientation.

"Hey John, I'm why don't you go find your name." The teacher said pointing to the seats. I found my name at a table with a boy named Joe and two girls Katie and Raven.

"Hi I'm Joe!" The boy next to me exclaimed and tried shaking my hand. I pulled my hand away since he had been picking his nose when I walked into class. A few minutes later Katie's parents came to say bye to her. She started screaming. And my mom said these kids weren't toddlers. At least Raven wasn't being a baby.

The teacher who smiles too much gave us a colouring sheet. Mine was dinosaur.

"What colour should I use on my car?" Joe asked.

"Do I look like I care what colour you use?" I snapped back. He started crying, great he's even younger than I thought. Katie started crying again too, what are these people.

"What happened here?" asked. Through tears Joe said I was being mean and Katie agreed. Great I probably already get a time out.

"Oh really? What did you see Raven?" asked.

"Well I wasn't really listening to them." Raven said very nicely. I liked her she hadn't cried yet.

"Okay well you won't have a time out this time John but just be nicer okay?"

"Yes I'll be nice to the cough toddlers cough." I said while smiling. Raven tried holding back her giggles. just left without saying anything.

"Hey, your pretty cool." Raven said leaning over her desk.

"You too," I responded. After colouring we had circle time. asked everyone what they did over the summer.

"Well, I was just sleeping the whole time." I said followed by laughs from all the kids. asked me to think of something else to say so I made up some stuff about helping my dad clean the garage. During Katie's turn she started crying again and Joe picked his nose during his turn.

"I watched tv...and begged my mom to not to go kindergarten." Raven said, whispering the second part but I was close enough to hear it. After that was finally snack time. We were all lead outside by . Raven sat down by the swings and I joined her.

"Hey." I said while opening my fruit snack.

"Hey John," She said.

"I like you, your better than all these other kids." I whispered.

"You mean all these other toddlers." She responded.

"Yes! You are my new best friend." I said giving her a high five. We spent the rest of the time complaining about our class.

Back inside we were doing stations. Not that I think that's very important to learning but who knows.

"Alright everyone get into partners." said. Raven and I decided to be partners since I obviously wasn't going with anyone else.

"John, wanna be partners?" Joe asked.

"Oh I can't, Joe why don't you be with the teacher." I said. Raven and I tried so hard not to laugh. Joe actually went to ask the teacher, stupid toddler.

"Alright now two partners have to be at each station, so four kids in total." said. We were at station 3 with Mark and Evan.

"Okay so we have to make our names out of magnets." Mark said. Because it wasn't obvious.

"Evan can I have on of the other letter e's please. You only need one for your name." Raven said.

"No I need three my name is slept E-E-E-V-A-N." He said, how stupid is this kid. I laughed so hard.

"No Evan, there is only one e at the beginning of your name." Raven said as nicely as she could.

"You are so stupid Raven, you don't even have an e in your name it's just 5 letter r's!" He said very loudly.

"Stop being mean to my best friend. She is way smarter than you. Go ask how to spell your name." I said, Raven looked kind of sad.

"It's okay.." I said giving her a quick hug. I looked over at Mark who was now sleeping. Actual toddlers. After that we went to another station where we passed around a ball saying our favourite words. Then it was finally lunch.

"What do you have?" I asked Raven. We were sitting as far away from those slimy toddlers as possible.

"Sandwich, banana eww and two cookies." She said handing me a cookie. I handed her three of my chips. Outside while the other kids were playing whatever weird game we made up a small play, very mature of us. After lunch read us a book. Than we practiced some writing.

After school when my mom picked me up I introduced her to my new best friend, she seemed happy about it and she got Raven's moms phone number. I guess the day wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Only 20 of the 22 kids were toddlers.

Authors' Note-

Hey, so I know I haven't touched this in almost two months. I had every intention in turning it into a one shot book, I just haven't until now. I'll be updating this every so often. Anyway, thank you for reading and hopefully everyone had a good holiday season (if you celebrate). I also wish everyone a very happy (almost) new year. Additionally, if you want more/quicker updates check out this story (under the same name) on archive of our own.
