Attention class we have new student with us today. Please give warm Theodore Roosevelt High School welcome to Darcy McIntyre
A bespectacled strawberry blonde hair freckled face girl rolls herself into the room riding in a wheelchair. Nobody says anything*
Hi "she shyly says" I'm happy to be here
Tell us a little about yourself Darcy "Mr. Richardson says"
Um..I love animals and the L.A lakers and reading and drawing. I have about 5 pets at home. Two rabbits Lincoln and Bentley cuz my dad likes cars and three cats Ash, Boo and Salem cuz I like spooky things and they all have black fur. I hope to be a scientist one day to cure the type of cancer that put me in this wheelchair. I'm prone to seizures. Starting next week I'm gonna get my medical alert dog a yellow Labrador I'm gonna call Sunny. He's gonna be certified by that time which is why he isn't with me today. Recently I-*she's interrupted by a loud yawn*
Adrien you're being extremely rude! She's not finished! "Mr. Richardson says"
But this is so boring and she won't shut up "Adrien protests"

I was saying that recently I went down to the community center and watched my grandparents dance "Darcy says"
Something you obviously can't do "Adrien says"
I do my best. And my grandparents helped me feel included "Darcy says"
They probably months from being put in their graves "Adrien says"
Darcy gasps and starts crying*
That was absolutely unnecessary and cruel to say young man! I warned you yo be quiet! Now you've got yourself detention! Go! "Mr. Richardson says giving him a piece of paper with the details on it for the detention room monitor"
Adrien grabs it and storms out*
It's ok Darcy. I know your first day isn't starting so well but hopefully it'll get better for you as the day goes on "Mr. Richardson says"
