Bad day

A fiction story

 

I’ve just moved here. It’s my 1st day at Fredrick.H.Tuttle middle school. Now I’m waiting for the bus with my older brother Francis. It’s raining so hard outside. 20 minutes go by. We’re soaked. My Mom pulls up in her new Buick Rendezvous. She bellowed,      “ Did the bus ever come? Just hop in, you’re already late for your first day of school.” So we went in the car. It smelled like the new car smell and plastic. We drove to school quickly. I ran into the school.

I first go to the office to ask where my class is but no one’s there. I go upstairs; there is a sign that said Journey, opportunity room, Polaris, etc. I just run forward then I saw some new sings and ran then I got a little scared because I saw some big tall kids. They were wearing black, weird funky hair, and chains on their pants. I got so scared I ran and went into a 7th grade classroom and asked her to find my class. She brought me to Mr. McGowan’s Math class.

I sat down at a table with all these fat kids. When I looked at their chubby faces they chuckled. Mr. McGowan gave us all a pop quiz. It was only the first day of school, give me a break! After the test I got an F. I was really mad and annoyed. I was because all the fat kids who looked like they needed bras, got an A. I guess I was jealous. I was also annoyed because he’d do this annoying thing. Where he’d pass out the tests and if you got a 90 or above he’d say very good. If you got an 80 he’d say good. And if you got any lower than an 80 he’d say nothing. He said nothing to me and the class laughed. 

 

Now I’m in Language Arts or LA. He also had a dumb test. Some of the kids tried to fight with him but he gave the test anyway. The LA teacher was named Mr. Wight. So he lied “ I’m only giving you this test to see what your young minds know.” After the test I got an F again…. Now I feel like I’m I could just go home. This first day isn’t exiting like all the other kids say it is. It’s awful. On that test I got an F. After class I saw all these people looking in our lockers. Then an announcement came on “Excuse the interruption. We are checking the lockers because we think we might have some unwanted drugs. Thank you! And have a great first day of school!” I felt crushed because I think my brother Francis deals or has something to do with drugs. My heart was pounding, I had a bad taste in my thought, and I have butterflies in my stomach. I was in my next class (Period 3). It was boring typing with boring Mr. Swanson. I hated typing. Then I heard another announcement again. “ Mr. Swanson if you have an Alley with you please send her to the office thank you.”

When I got to the office I saw my brother. He was sitting in a chair. It smelled like the dentist’s office. 2 females came out of 2 rooms.1 took me in a room with all these posters that had D.A.R.E, smiley faces, and words with Garfield saying “Together we can make a difference. But after I went out of that creepy but somewhat calm room I learned that my brother was a wanted man .My brother was caught with 5 pounds of illegal drugs. Then I saw Francis come out, he was crying. They called Mom and Dad. Then after 6 minutes they came. My mom was crying and my dad looked like he’d seen a ghost. After all the confusion my brother was going to a school were bad kids go to. But I don’t think that is a good idea because they might even burn down the school. Then I went to my next class. They put me in a stupid place called “Enterprise”. I hate Enterprise it’s the worst class so far. Today has got to be the worst day ever! I have not made 1 friend, my brother is gone to a different school, and I feel like crying. So then that weird McGowan guy comes and tells me that I have to stay after school! And to top all of that my parents have to stay after with me. Now I’m after school and there are so many activities, all these clubs, and other kids staying after school.

I’m in the lobby waiting for my parents to come. Now I them and their coming in lobby. Then I tell them what’s going on.

In the middle when McGowan was going to say that I needed a tutor there was a huge explosion. So we went to where he heard it. The explosion was in the lobby. Then when the smoke cleared up, we all saw my brother and about ten other kids running away…

No one was hurt or dead. Also school was delayed for 5 whole weeks to repair the school. I got a tutor and I understand things more and good. Now I don’t have to go to dumb Enterprise!
