School

My unusual school


Chapter 1  A new school  (Saturday 30 Nov 2019 )
I, my whole life was being home-schooled but I knew eventually the day where I go to an actual school would come.


It was really late, I was about to go to bed until my parents ran to my room shouting "YOUR GOING TO A SCHOOL. YOUR GOING TO A SCHOOL!".

When they entered my room I was like "WHAT?! REALLY?!", and they were like "Yes honey, your finally going to school". I was so pumped with excitement, well except the part where I had to go to sleep .....


I woke up 7:00 in the morning to go by bus and in my head I was thinking o.m.g. this is going to be AMAZING!

I arrived at the bus stop, waited for the bus and got on.
I was on my way to my new school ...




Chapter 2 My First Day
I got to my new school. At first, I was expecting everyone to be nice to me like my mum and dad. The teacher knew that my name was Harrington and I was 11 years old.

When I walked into the class for the first time, I almost fainted. The whole class was messy and grey. It had basically no colours except the books on everyone's desks which were blue with a slight bit of yellow.

I was greeted by this big, tall kid called Barry.
He gave me not very welcoming greeting:
"yo wassup faggot, you look like my pet worm! Hahaha!"

I replied: "Hi", and I walked by.
In my head, I was thinking "why is he so rude?", but I didn't have time to think too much, the maths teacher entered the room.

The maths teacher looked like some crazy scientist from a super secret Russian base. His hair was all over the place, his legs were abnormally huge, his nose looked like it came straight out of Pinocchio and his glasses were way too big for his tiny eyes.
His name was Mr. Puzzle. He introduced me to the class and said:
"Everyone! This is the new young student in our class called Harrington".

No one seemed to really care that I was new to the school when Mr. Puzzle introduced me.


After that little chat, abruptly the teacher asked us a really easy question (so I thought):
"what is 44 and 4 together?"

When he said that, a cringy smile appeared on my face because I started thinking "hahaha! 44 and 4, really? This is too easy!".

So, I wrote 48 as my answer and went to hand it up.

Mr. Puzzle said "it's wrong because I never said plus, I said 44 and 4 which is 444".

And I was so surprised!

He outsmarted everyone in the class, so we did more maths for the rest of the day.


That was my an unexpected day 1.




Chapter 3 Symon (Sunday 01 Dec 2019 )
On day 2, I had my fingers crossed that hopefully, I wasn't going to be greated rudely by tall kid Barry.

When I got into the class I was told  by Symon (who is my new friend) that Barry wasn't here, phew ....

Symon was really nice to me that day.
He asked
"Hi, wassup bro? How was day one yesterday?"

I replied "Good, thank you that you asked. Tell me, isn't that Barry kid mean to you?"

He said
"yea, no one likes him. He has a mental issue with the family, you know. I think he has anger problems dude, just stay away from him."

I said "ok" and when he said all of those things I had no idea what was his name again? I just talked to him but I couldn't remember his name. Finally, I broke my thoughts and asked him:
"hey, umm, whats your name? I'm sorry I forgot.

Mine's Harrington"

He told me "Symon, my name is Symon, your is cool tho".


After that little chat, our military teacher entered the room, marching as if he was about to go to war ... I, in my head was thinking "oh no, here we go again with weird teachers". He shouted:
"My name is Mr. Hardconditioner.
So, pushups right now or your doing 60 bur pees for the rest of the day!"

He was crazy, I thought.

For the next hour I was trying to do pushups and finally after hard minutes I finished it. I thought, it was gonna get easier, but no! I was wrong.

The military teacher came over and said:
"Now your gonna do 15 times more pushups you just did for the rest of the day! because you have no muscles and your not fit! Is that clear?!". He shouted.

I was trying to pretend that I listen what he says but I was too weak to do all his instructions until it was lunch.

This school does not have recess, it has only lunch which is not that healthy.
It gave me time to rest.
When I finally sat down, Symon came and asked me:
"Are you going to the oval park or ordinary park today?"

"What? There are two parks here?", I mumbled.

He replied "yead, its normal here. Let's go to the oval ...", and he ran away.
I followed him there ...


I've never been to the oval, I have to say, I did not like it.

"Symon, it's just a bunch of grass, nothing to do here, there's not even trees". I said.

He surprised me replying "No Harrington, you can play soccer here, basketball, tennis and there is also a pool behind you by the way".

I turned around and there was a swimming pool right there .....!


Omg, "let's go swimming"

Symon told me "no, no, no, wait! It's Tuesday, you will get in trouble, you can only go swimming on Thursday".

In a sad voice I replied "ok, maybe we can play soccer instead".

So, for the rest of our lunch we played soccer and we did more pushups later with Mr. Hardconditioner.
When I went home, I was tired, that was the most exhausting day ever.





Chapter 4 Barry's Evil return (Sunday 01 Dec 2019, Friday 20 Dec 2019 )
Like always, I got to the bus stop, check my ticket,wait for the bus and get on.
It was my fourth day, and I was still overexcited about the fact that my school has a swimming pool!

Anyways, I was unaware that Barry would be sick for only one day.

Right when I opened the door to my class, a jumpscare was ready for me!

A doll (that looked old) fell from the door and hit me on the head. I looked down at it and it had a note on it, so I picked it up.
On the note it said "get got by my doll loser", and it had Barry written on it!

I quickly told on Barry and he said that it was Larry, but then I showed the principal the doll and she said "detention for 3 days Barry!".

And he got really mad. That day was science, so I got back to class.


Finally, there was a normal looking teacher. Her name was Mrs. Rodger and she brought out this cool looking glass ball, and she said
"this is a plasma ball and if you touch it you will get a slight bit of electricity going through your body. Not only that, you also will see a laser that follows your finger".

She let us touch it and it was so fascinating! Then she said
"now I will put a bit of thin foil on the ball, so if we put a bit of metal over the foil the laser will come out a bit".
She did that and when the laser came out, it turned yellow.

The teacher let us play with it for a bit until she found the other plasma ball. She showed us a way on how to connect the two balls together.


When it was recess, I knew that Barry had detention, so I wasn't so worried until Barry was standing in front of the classroom door with eggs in his hand. He started to throw them at me and other children and then he quickly ran away home.

I didn't even get to play soccer with Symon at lunch that day. Barry got suspended but his friend Larry was still in school, even though he helped Barry out.


That day, I got Symon's number so, I tried to call him on my cellphone in the evening but it said "your credit balance is low, please top up soon".
So, I was left home with only my bed and pen.
