7 SW~ Welcome Freak!

"Have a good day at school kiddos!"

Fat chance of that happening.

The door opens and the three of us jump out of the car. We wave bye to Mrs. Skatey then turn around to face the school. "Welp, good luck girls!" says Mark. "Thanks, bro" Ella says. "Thanks, Markie, you too" I tell him. Mark waves bye then walks over to a group of seniors. "It's just you and me now Skye" Ella says looking curiously at me. "Yep" I say looking at all the people as we start towards the door.

As we walk in, I see it begin. People start whispering and pointing. Ella looks at me. "What do you wanna do?" she whispers. "Get to class alive" I reply. She looks at me with a weird look on her face. "Not funny" she says.

We walk towards the lockers and look around. Ella spots two empty lockers and runs over to them. She waves me over. I walk slowly over to her. "You choose first", Ella says. "Ok" I say, already opening one. I put my bag in the locker and open it. I grab my stuff for class then I also grab my lock. Closing the locker door I place the lock on it. "Let's go" I tell Ella. "Alrighty!" she replies, closing her locker.

We walk to our homeroom class. I can hear chatter coming from the inside. I open the door and the chatter s t o p s. It's like I snuffed out a candle.

"Welcome!" cheerfully says a young girl around college age at the front of the room. "I'm your teacher, you can call me Missy" she says, walking towards us. "Who might you two be?" "Ummm.... my name is Ella Skatey...erm... Hi" says my bestie. "Nice to meet you Ella!" says Missy, shaking Ella's hand.

"And you?"

I look around the room. Snickers and whispers meet me. "Um....my name is...Skylar...Waves..." I say. The whispers and snickers get even louder. "Beautiful name Skylar! Nice to meet you!" says Missy, her cheerfulness brimming over. "Ok girls, go choose a seat!" As I walk to the back of the room, I try the hear the words.

Sitting down and placing my bag on the back of my chair, I look around again. I smile when I see Ella sit next to me. "Surprised?" she whispers. "You shouldn't be" she says. I smile again. As I turn around and face the front (with Missy's bubbly figure ahead of me) I relax a little.

Everything is gonna be ok.

Then I see it. A piece of paper is being passed around the room. And it is heading to yours truly. The kid across from me hands it to me. On the front it doesn't say anything. But I still know it is for me. Opening it slowly, I look tentatively inside. Gasp. There is a very descriptive portrait of myself. And then I see the final mark. Two words are written very clearly on the page. The words say,

"WELCOME FREAK!"
