Chapter 6

new year new school

when i told everyone that i was leaving it went something like this

"so...um..i know you don't care, but i'm moving schools."

"YES!"

"sorry for the people there!"

"no no no, they are people who lean like me" the moment i said that i realized i shouldn't have.

"you mean people who are also stupid!" they kept giving comments like that. i wanted to go to the

bathroom and die.

i left half way thought the year, i now am starting at JFS. My mom said to give this school a try;

so i did. i walked into this new school called JFS or James Franklin School. everybody seemed the same

as the people at my old school. they all acted the same, kind of, they all seemed the same everything

seemed normal. i walk into my first day and its loud and crazy. i hear people talking about a bunch of

stuff. i sit in the back, that way no one see me. i see the teacher walk in, she was tall with long black

hair, and looked like Ms. Joy, i got scared.

"so class, today we have a new student joining us" she began i wanted to run out of the room,

and strait home. everyone said hello and i just waved. i had to stand up and talk about myself. "whats

your name" said a kid with long brown hair, he looked kind of cute.

"Bella." i said quietly.

"jake." he said i smiled.

"why are you here?" the teacher asked, i had a sudden interest in the floor. "cause i'm stupid." the

room all of a sudden got this new vibe, no more loudness, it was quiet and a little scary. "is that what

your old class mates told you?" it was jake. i looked him straight in the eye, he looked hurt. "thats what

the teachers, principle, and students told me." jake hugged me; i never have gotten a hug before,

people have always been afraid to touch me. i think i hugged back, i hope i did.

I was there till 8th grade, it was the best thing i have ever done. i loved school, loved the class

mates and the teachers. i still talk to Ann, but i didn't need a tourer anymore. i was the most popular

girl in school, and i loved it. i never thought i would be able to say love and school in the same

sentence. my old school was graduating and i thought it would be cool to go and see if they have

changed.

"HEY LOOK ITS STUPID!" i hear Jo yell. I guess not. i just laugh, i didn't care what people thought

about me anymore, i just didn't care, i was a happy little 14 year old girl.

"why are you laughing; you go to a special school with other people who are also STUPID!" he

yelled the stupid part very loudly. i walked right up to him and yelled in his face,

"I AM NOT STUPID, I AM DYSLEXIC AND IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT THEN GO TELL

SOMEONE WHO CARES!" and walked away. i walked into math and saw ms.joyful, and she smiled.

"Aww, look who's back form school, lets see if they though you well, what is 2x+2y=9 if x=3. so i

walked up to the bored and did it

2(3)+2y=9

6+2y=9 and dived 2 into 6 and 9 into 6 so the answer is she just looked at me

in disbelief.

"HOW DID YOU DO THAT, YOU'UR STUPID!"

"no, i'm just dyslexic."

if you are dyslexic don't feel alone; don't feel like no one else is going thought this cause. i know it might seem that way, but trust me there are millions of people out there also feeling alone. i helps you :D
