Barrel

The classroom wasn't as large as I thought it would be. There was a wooden desk in the corner for the teacher. Just enough seats for everyone. The chairs were set in groups of four. A white board with markers in the front. Some boxes of crayons, markers, pencils, paper, and some toys were in the back of the room.

"Ok children please put your bags on the hooks over there." She pointed to a long coat rack lined by the door. The kids filed over and hung their things up. I felt really bad for June. Everyone kept staring at her hat and then whispering to someone. "Alright, now I will call off your names and show you were you sit. If you have a nickname, you can tell me and we will call you that if you wish."

"Billy Mason, you will sit here." She pointed to a desk up front. "Amanda Brown and Katie Brown you will sit here with Billy." I just noticed that Amanda and Katie were twins. The each had curly brown hair, a few freckles, and a rich skin tone, with dark green eyes.

"Lucas Grant, you sit with them." He took his seat next to Billy. "Uh, can you call me Luke?" The teacher nodded. "Sure, sure. Daniel Frost, Maranda Pond, and Zackery Cummings, will sit at this desk." Each of them had nicknames to. Danny, Mandi, and Zac.

"June Smith, you sit there, one in the back." June left me and James and sat down. "That's quite a hat you have there Miss Smith." The other kids giggled and whispered. June blushed and looked down. "Johnny Barrel, you sit with June." I sat down quickly and quietly. "Do you have a nickname?"

I nodded. "Well, what is it?" I don't want to talk in front of these kids they'll laugh and giggle. I leaned over to June. She said it for me. "He likes to just be called Barrel." The teacher rose an eyebrow. "That's an odd nickname." My brother used to call me Barrel. I don't know why, but I still sorta like it. "James Spiller, you sit with June and Johnny." The teacher went to the front of the room and began.

"Alright everyone, welcome to-" I didn't pay attention and before I new it, it was lunch time.

The teacher lined us up and took us down to the lunchroom. James, June, and I sat at our own table. And I could tell that already we were the freaks at school. As a sat waiting for James and June to come back with there lunches I began to sing.

"If you feel so empty, so used up, so let down. If you feel so angry, so ripped up so stepped on."

June and James heard me singing. They sat down with me and James started ti sing with me.

"You're not the only one, refusing to back down." June cam in now. "You're not the only one."

Then all three of us did together. "So get up! Let's start a riot! A riot! Let's start a riot! Let's start a riot! A riot! Let's start a riot!"

June sang by herself again. "If you feel so filthy, so dirty, so messed up. I you feel so walked on, so painful, so pissed off."

I sang. "You're not the only one, refusing to go down. You're not the only one."

We all chanted louder then before. "Let's start a riot! A riot! Let's start a riot! Let's start a riot! A riot! Let's start a riot!"

James jumped up on the table and sang ever louder. Some teacher tried to pull her down but he didn't move. "If you feel so empty, so used up, so let down! If you feel so angry!"

June and I jumped up with him. "SO GET UP!" We leaned in and whispered to each other. "Let's start a riot. A riot. Let's start a riot."

"LET'S START A RIOT! A RIOT! LET'S START A RIOT! LET'S START A RIOT! A RIOT! LET'S START A RIOT! LET'S START A RIOT! A RIOT! LET'S START A RIOT! LET'S START A RIOT! A RIOT!LET'S START A RIOTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!"

Then all three of us screamed. "FOOD FIGHT!"
