User blog:TweetyMcBirdBird/A Bullworth Story Chapter 1 - The Arrival

Mom is out of her mind. What in the world is she thinking? I mean I never really fit in that well anyway. I have Dyslexia and EBD. So how in the world am I supposed to fit in at a school where bullying is a regular thing?

"Bye, honey!" my mother calls as she leaves.

"Bye mom," I mutter. "Sure going to miss you...Not." I sit down on the ground, when someone weird lady sneaks up on me.

"Are you Ceaser Mendoza?" the lady asks me. She looked like she was in her 40's, but clearly dressed out of style. She wore a black woman's suit over a pale gray blouse, a matching conservative mini-skirt, and dark heeled shoes. She had pearl earrings in both ears.

"Yes, ma'am." I get up. "And who are you?"

"I'm Miss Danvers, the secretary of Bullworth Academy," she informs me. "You'll have a great time here, Mr. Mendoza."

"Yeah, good luck, Miss. I have EBD and Dyslexia," I tell her.

"Mr. Mendoza, that doesn't mean anything. We all have respect for each other," Miss Danvers tries to reassure me, but it's not working. "Now come with me, so we can go see the head master."

As I walk in, I notice that there were uniforms. Great, just another thing that makes me want to punch my mom. Some kids wore white shirts, while others wore letter man jackets, while others wore fancy shirts. And those who wore the same thing only talked with them. Something was up.

I was a bit frightened seeing the head master. He seemed really strict like he was going to beat me up.

"Hello there, Ceaser," he greets me.

"Hello there, Dr...Crabdlesuitch?" My Dyslexia was acting up again.

"Crabblesnitch," Dr. Whatever corrects me.

"Right."

"Now, boy, let's see your rap sheet." he takes out my permanent record out.

Where the hell did he get that?

"Wow, that's a really clean record." His eyebrows went up.

I didn't understand why he said that. I mean I've gotten school suspension twice, 13 referrals in one month, and got kicked out of a school for contraband. Was this school really that bad?

"You just may be a role model towards others!"
