Intro It doesn't feel like it was that long ago when I was first told I would be going to dark mouth elementary school! The name was a warning I casually ignored. I had been there for three years and am the only one who can say I had been there and not that I still do!
Chapter 1, first impressions.
"we're here" said a voice from the front of the car. " do you want us to come in with you" said I deeper voice. These where my parents and I defiantly did not want them walking into school with me. "No I'm ok" I replied. "i forgot that your 14 now and that cramps your style!" my dad laughed in reply. I opened the door and stood outside, my parents waved as they drove off and watched them get to the end if the street before turning around and walking over to the main entrance at the front of the building with one last look of my shoulder. Inside the door was a bright little room with a desk on the left and a rather stern looking woman behind it. The room stunk of perfume which as I got closer found out it was coming off the woman! She must have known I was watching her because she then said "your new? Up two flights of stairs then take the lift up to the 3rd floor. I replied thanking her and headed up the stairs. As I walked up the stairs I noticed that it was loud and bubbly as a normal school is. I didn't hear the normal talking of the students and the shouting of teachers. Never the less I set off up the next flight of steps now wondering what to expect. On the next floor I had to cross the corridor to get to the lift this was my chance to see what was going on in the classrooms. There was three classrooms and next to each was a little sign with writing on it. The first sign said "agreeable" on it. I looked inside to see the children getting on with there work. Suddenly without warning they all stood up and one at a time went to the front of the class to collect a book. The next classroom said "intermediate". I looked in to see the class wasn't concentrating as much as the last but still unusual. The final class said "substandard". This was the only class with a teacher who was reading them a story and they where doing a good job at listening. I entered the lift with many things crossing my mind and not knowing what to expect.
