Lock
"Wake up dork!" My sister came in and shook me. I leaned up in bed. My sister went to leave my room. "Hey Lucy." She turned back. Phht! "Yes! Right between the eyes!" Lucy ran down the stairs. "Mom! James hit me with a spitball again!" I snickered.
"James stop hitting your sister!" I snickered again. "Now get ready for school!" I got dress and packed my bag. And of course I packed the most important things. Spitball supplies, whoopie cushion, pin cushion and needles, spaghetti string, and all those good things. I slung my bag over my shoulder and headed down stairs.
"Do you want something to eat?" I frowned. "Nope." I headed out the door, and waited outside. I can't believe I am really going to school. The wind became to blow harder. I crossed my arms to keep warm.
After a while I noticed a kid a few blocks down the road coming outside. Must be another kid. I waited for the bus for at least ten minutes before another kid came running down the road. It was a girl, she was chasing a hat down the road.
My gaze followed her until her hat flew across the road to the boy. They both looked like little dots from here. She crossed the road and they started talking. Well, he made a friend so why couldn't I?
After a few minutes more the bus came. I got on. Those two kids were sitting in the back. Great...I took the seat in front of the girl. Next thing I knew they were leaning over me.
"Hi." The girl said nicely. "Hi." I growled back. I didn't need these two bugging me all day. "Are you ok?" The other one asked. "No. I moved here and now I have to go to this stupid school."
I heard on of them sit down. "I hate school too..." One muttered. Really? Most of the kids here love school. I jumped up. "You do? Why?" He looked up at me. "Well because-"
As we started talking I learned that we weren't as different as I thought. Hmm...maybe we would get along after all.
And next time I looked out the window I saw the school...My new living hell.
