Back to School

 
     Today was a really wierd. I got a ton of telegrams from people that I don't know and from places I've never heard of. My parents are pretty happy that I stood up for myself and that there are other people on my side of this but I still wasn’t happy. I'm going back to school tomorrow. I'm glad to be in Mr. Lunser's homeroom again. I guess things will pretty much be back to normal for the most part. I'm still going to have Miss Narwin for english but I guess that's okay. I can ask for extra work to bring my grade up so I can be on the track team. I'm a little nervous...
     During breakfast my parents said that I had nothing to be worried about, but I still wasn't so sure. I was more worried about what the other students and my friends would say rather than Narwin. Anyways, down on the way to the school bus, I met up with Ken Barchet. He told me that I should still try out for track. I forgot that I hadn't told anyone why I actually wasn't allowed to be on the team yet. I finally told him that I wasn't allowed to participate in track becuase of my English grade. Then, Ken said that Narwin probably won't let me  do extra work either becuase of what has happened but I'm still going to keep my hopes up.
     One of the first people to talk to me this morning when I got to school was Allison. I was pretty happy to see her until I found out she was really mad at me. All she wanted to do was to tell me that she thought what I did to Miss Narwin was really mean. She said that all of the kids think that she's one of the best teahcers and that she’s fair. I was infuriated. I don't want any of my other friends to turn against me like Allison did.
