Dyslexic 2- Last Day Of Criticism

Dyslexic 2- Last Day Of Criticism

Tuesday 7:30 am-

My alarm rings, I get suddenly startled by my alarm, but I wake up anyway. My Mom texts my phone, "No phone remember? You're grounded!" I was recently grounded because I got no questions right on my past spelling test yesterday.

Hi, I'm Carson, Carson Wilson. If you weren't here last book, let me fill you in. When I was 5, I was diagnosed with dyslexia, which means I don't learn like others. I go to Wescharters High School and I am a Junior.

I get made fun of for my dyslexic diagnosis at school and at home. My life is like a dumpster really, I don't know what I am going to do with my life, and doing things for my family is always in the way.

I put my clothes on and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth, surprisingly no chaos. I just go into the bathroom and do my thing.

Today is the last day of school, my english class is going on a field trip today and the form is due today. I have been trying to get my parents to sign it but no one ever had time and apparently I don't deserve to go. I question that because was it my grades, my decisions, or my isolation? Probably my grades.

This is where my creativity skills come in. I went to the school photocopier last week and copied a form I had to give in with both of my parents signatures on it, so I will copy it onto my field trip form and I will go. BINGO!

So that is exactly what I did, I put it in my backpack and went to the living room. "Hey Dummy!" Justin says, "Hey! Did you like our prank last night?" Mia teases. "Yeah, it wasn't cool guys! I'm gonna tell Mom!" I try to come back at them. No way I am getting defeated by a 10 and 11 year old. "What is Mom gonna do? She doesn't even like you, and neither does dad so who do you have to tell now Theo?" Said Justin "Hey! I'm the favorite. I can snitch on you both right now." "Ok so go tell Theo go for it"Justin replies "Ok!" Theo walks to tell on Mia and Justin.

"Why would you say that Justin? Are you Carson?" Mia says. They both say are you Carson because I am dyslexic and that is their way of saying you are or are you stupid. It is really offensive and it always hits hard when they say it.

Mom screams from across the house, "Mia, Justin no ipad for 3 weeks!" "Oh my God" says Mia "Bro this is all your fault!" Mia starts to pour out tears. "I'm sorry! Please don't cry! I already feel bad enough!" Says Justin. "Well, Mia, feel better. Justin you messed up hard. And see you later little Otter! Have a good day guys! Bye!

I leave the house and go to school. I walked into the school without pinning to the wall today. I overheard a conversation between the athletes and they were talking about Jonathan getting into a motorcycle accident with his friends and they are all in the hospital. And Jonathan is paralyzed! Peaceful Tuesday, Yes!

Field Trip-

We were getting ready to go on the bus to the arcade for the field trip and Ms. Charleston came up to me and said " Carson, Is this your father's signature?" "Yes it is Ms. Charleston" I reply. She nods and walks in front of the line letting kids in my class on the bus. She is starting to get suspicious

The Arcade-

We made it to the arcade! I get my game card and I start playing games. The first game I go to is Jurassic park shooting virtual reality. It was super cool actually. But then, the power went out in the arcade. Apparently, the electricity cord outside burnt due to the sun.

My class had to go back to the school, but suddenly, my parents were standing outside the school, and they looked mad, like super mad.

"Carson Marco Wilson! How dare you go on the trip? How did you get our signatures on the paper?" My mom is disappointed.

"Son, this is exactly what we mean by you don't deserve to go on this trip! Now get in the car!" My dad yells.

Home Time-

I go into the car trying to hold in my tears. At least it's the last day, and we might be moving houses and schools soon. I got a lecture from my dad in the car. When we got home, I just ran to my room and read Harry Potter books.

Mia says from her room. "No greeting Mr. Dumb?" I looked at her from my bed because her room is right beside mine, "What do you think shorty? And hey! Good luck with no Ipad." I hit her hard with that. She said she isn't short and slams the door.

What a coincidence. Mom and Dad walk in the house and see her door slammed and they say "Mia! No Ipad for an extra 2 weeks for you!" She screams into her pillow and throws a mini tantrum.

Theo wasn't home yet, he had a playdate with his friends from school. And Justin had just arrived home from school.

"Hey Everyone im home!" Justin says. My parents say hello but Mia and I are silent. He walks into his room and gets into comfy clothes pretty quietly.

Tuesday 6:00 pm-

"Carson! Start getting ready for tutoring!" I hear from the kitchen. I get ready and get my homework bag. I think it's stupid that I go tutoring. I mean, I am dyslexic, but I'm in high school and it's kind of embarrassing that I still go to tutoring.

As I get ready, Theo walks in the house and goes to my room. "Hey Carson!" He says happily. "Hey little otter! How was your playdate?" I ask him. "It was epic! Getting ready for your tutoring?" He asked me. "Yeah sure am, is dad taking you to your drum class today?" "I'm not sure actually but I'm gonna ask."

"Okay. Love you little Otter." "Love you too!" We do our handshake and he runs out of the room screaming dad on his way out.

Mom calls me to get going. So, I put my things on and followed her to the car. Our car drive was silent, and a little awkward. When we got there I went inside the room and did my work with my teacher, Mr. Santiago.

Tuesday 8:05pm, After tutoring-

After tutoring I got home, all my siblings were asleep and it was just me and my parents awake. I still haven't eaten anything, but I'd rather go to sleep starving than be around my parents right now.

I fall asleep and wonder how the summer would be like for me. It's still pretty much school, I have to go tutoring, I have to take care of my siblings. It's really just a normal daily basis for me.

Let's see what tomorrow holds...

The End
