First day at a new school isn't easy, I can say that from experience, a lot of experience. This is the last school that will except me to enroll as a student, it's not easy to find schools that will allow you to attend when you've been to juvie three times, and havent had the best grades or behavior, the bad thing is that nobody knows or cares about your side of the story, once you get to juvie and get let out you're automatically counted as one of those horrible, mean, gross students, a criminal.
Mary: "hurry up already Riley, you're running late"
Mary is my step mom, i have mixed feelings about her, she can be sweet at times but at others i hate her guts.
Riley (you): " jeez i'm coming, i'm not even running late i have like 15 minutes left"
Mary: "And you have to walk to school"
Riley: "ill run its fine"
Mary: "whatever just go get out of my house!"
I roll my eyes as i walk out of the door, i didn't even get to eat breakfast not to mention i barely got any sleep last night, this is going to be loongg day
-----------------------------------------------Homeroom--------------------------------------------------------------
I was standing in front of the home room door about to walk through when i felt something push past me
GIlbert: "get out of the way freak! I'm about to be late"
Well wasn't that a great way to start 1st period off.
I walk into class and see an elderly man standing next to a desk, everybody moves their focus to me since of course they've never seen me before, the man walks over to me.
Mr. benson: "Well if it isn't the new student, you're late!"
Riley: "but the bell hasn't rung yet?"
Mr. benson: " Are you talking back to me ?!?"
He has an angry face on him and i stand there confused
Riley: "um no sir i didn't mean-"
Mr. Benson "shush! Now stand at the front of the class"
I walk towards the center of the classroom and face the class, i make eye contact with a boy but look away quickly
Mr benson: " this is a new student Riley Brooks she has just come out of juvie, i would be careful"
U-uh i'm sorry did i hear that right?!? Did my new teacher just basically tell everybody not to talk to me because i've been to juvie, why did he even have to tell them that i've even been to juvie, i wanted to keep it secret, but i guess i cant anymore
I turn around and look at him with a shocked face, he smiles
Mr benson: " now go on and sit next to wesley"
i sit next to a boy who i assume is wesley since it was the only open seat
I slump back in my chair and cover my face with my hands.
Wesley then turns to face me
Wesley; " don't stress about mr. Benson, he can be really cruel sometimes"
Riley: " yeah i can tell"
I feel something hit my back and i turn to see the boy who pushed me from earlier sitting behind me,
Mr benson: "RILEY BROOKS"
I turn quickly and see mr benson glaring at me
Mr. benson: "Why are you TAlking in my classroom?!?!!!!"
Riley: " i wasn't talking"
Mr.benson: "come.here.right.now"
I turn to stand up and make eye contact with wesley once again
I walk towards the front of the class, everybody is staring and some even laughing at me.
When I reach the front of the class he begins to write on the board. I face the front of the class and i see the boy who pushed me holding up a paper that says "juvie freak"
Mr. Benson turns around and sees the boy holding the paper, the boy quickly puts it down but mr. benson already spotted it
Mr. Benson: "Give me that paper this instant gilbert!!
Gilbert gives him the paper and mr benson reads what it says, he smiles
Mr benson: how perfect way better then what i was doing
Mr benson hands me the paper
Mr Benson: "hold this sign facing the students just like a mugshot, which you must have lots of experience with
I hold the paper up and bite my lip trying to hold back my tears, i gaze around the class and see kids laughing and others in shock
I'd been standing for about 30 seconds trying not to cry when I finally had enough! I walk towards mr benson
Mr benson: " what are you doing brooks get back where you were standing"
I look him in the eye and rip the paper
I then drop the pieces on the ground and walk towards the door
Mr benson: get back here right now! Come back young lady"
I then walk out the door and run out of the school with tears flowing down my cheeks
======================================================================
When I reach the gate to exit the school security guard stops me , he puts his hand on my shoulder and turns me around hinting for me to walk back in, I sigh and walk towards the school, I definitely was not going to walk back into that classroom after the embarrassment I just went through.
I walk in the school and sit next to my homeroom class door, I guess I'll just wait til the period is over.
