Shock
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! I sat up in bed and slammed my hand down on my alarm clock. That was something else I hated about school. Waking up. I got dressed and went downstairs to see my mom with eggs and bacon at the table. "Good morning. Would you like some breakfast?"
I sat down beside her with my plate. "Did you find your father's gift?" She asked. "Yes." My mom smiled. "He saw that hat and said. 'Oh I have to get this for June. She would love it.' So he just went ahead and bought it." I nodded and finished eating.
I was still mad at her for not telling me about dad. I went upstairs and got dressed. My bag was already by the door. I swung it over my shoulder put my hat on and stepped outside.
As I waited for the bus the wind whipped strongly. I started to shiver. I never wore a coat even in the dead of winter. I don't know why but I just think it save a few minutes of the day. Before I knew it my hat was taken right off my head.
"Hey!" I quickly ran after it. I cased after it for awhile. I think it was about three blocks. It whipped around missing trees, signs, and cars. It flew across the street. I had to wait to cross the road, though.
On the other side a strange looking little boy about my age. He had grayish short hair, and he wore all black. His shirt and pants were all black. The collar on his shirt was overlarge, it was wide and higher then normal. It sorta reminded me of those white cones you put on dogs.
His skin was very pale like mine. My hat flew over and landed near his feet. I darted across the street. He picked up my hat and handed it to me.
"Here I think this is yours." He mumbled. He had dark circles under his eyes and his cheeks were all red. I think he was crying. "Um, thanks. Does the bus stop here too?" He only nodded. I sat down on the bench with him.
"So, uh, what's your name?" He wiped his face on the back of his hand. "Johnny." I smiled weakly at him. He tried to smile back but failed and looked away. "My name is June." Johnny looked at me again and smiled a little.
I gasped quietly. His teeth were all rounded at the edge un-normally and were slowly turning yellow. "What, what happen to your teeth?" Johnny laughed at little. "I get that a lot. It's candy. I don't brush my teeth, just a waste of time I think."
We sat there in silence until the bus rounded a corner and stopped. He stepped on first and I followed. Johnny took on of the back seats and I took the other.
It wasn't long before another odd looking kid came on. He wore a red shirt and jeans. He did have brown hair, but in the front two tuffs were curled up. And he wore brown slipper like shoes.
He tossed his bag in the seat in front of me. Johnny looked up and then his glaze eyed me. I patted at the space beside me and he sat with me. We both leaned over the seat. "Hi." I said friendly.
The kid didn't look up. "Hi." He sneered. "Are you ok?" Johnny asked him. "No. I moved here and now I have to go to this stupid school."
Johnny sat back down. "I hate school too..." He said to himself. The kid shot up and leaned over in our seat. "You do? Why?"
"Well because-" They made light conversation with that and before I knew it, all the kids were on and we were at school.
