Family

Chapter 1

" I uh I was just leaving for school" I say. 

"Go NOW!" He yells at me again. I do as I'm told and leave. 

I wonder why he always has to yell at me. I didn't do anything. Why are they even foster parents if they mistreat us and each other. 

I realize I'm at the bus stop and run up to my best friend, Jason, We've been friends since we were five years old. 

He knows about how dean and maria act towards me. 

I made him promise to never tell anyone. I'm afraid of what will happen if I tell. 

The school bus stops infront of us and we get on.

 I find a seat with no one sitting there and sit with jason next to me. 

Once we get to school we head to our classroom. 

Mrs. Jacobs is standing outside the classroom with a paper and pen, She sees us and looks down at her paper to check by our names. 

" Good morning Ry and Jason" She says. 

" Good Morning Mrs. Jacobs." We say. She smiles at us. A perfect smile. 

I couldn't help but remember my dream and wonder why I dreamt of her and Mr. Jacobs. 

It's still pretty weird to me. 

Mrs. Jacobs starts to talk about our lesson today. 

" Today we will be starting subtraction" She says as she writes on the chalk board. Mrs. Jacobs writes 13-7=? 

" Can anyone tell me the answer?" One boy raises his hand. 

The answer is 6 obviously. 

She looks around the room and her eyes land on me. 

"Ry, do you know the answer?" She ask. 

I nod. "Its 6.". I say. She smiles.

"That is correct." Mrs. Jacobs says. 

I smile to myself knowing that I got the answer right. 

Once when lunch roles around Mrs. Jacobs tells us to make a line at the font door. 

We all get up and form a line.

 Some are pushing each other to get in line first. 

I get in the back of the line, along with Jason. 

" They're animals I tell you, animals!" Jason whispers to me. 

I laugh quietly and nod my head in agreement. 

The line starts to move and we walk out of the classroom. 

Once we get to the cafeteria, I ask for a slice of cheese pizza. 

The lunch lady puts it on my tray and hands it to me.

 " Thank you" I say. 

"Your welcome" She says back to me.

 I grab my lunch card and hand it to the lunch lady once I get to the cash register. 

Jason and I walk to a table and sit down. 

Through out lunch we talk about this car game that we played when I went over to his house over the weekend. 

After lunch we have recess. 

I go straight over to the swings and get on one. 

Jason comes up to me and ask if I want to play some basketball, but I tell him no.
