Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Ok, are you sitting comfortably? Then I will begin. x
Starting school.
If you can remember, I was rebellious at a very young age, but by the time it came to start school, I was ready.
My Mother had taught me to read and write before I started school, I devoured the books at the library, hungry for more and more stories about Princesses and such stuff, before moving on to Enid Blyton.
I had seen and chatted with the children at the library, so I had started to want company in my little life. I liked boys better, always have.
So at the age of five, I started school, I liked this boy a little older than I called Michael, he was my bestest friend. Because I could read, the school placed me in with the seven-year-olds for reading.
I thought I had done something wrong, my class were all staring and whispering. I got upset until I saw Michael, he was my friend, he sat next to me. The other children segregated themselves?????
So our friendship developed.
My Mother was now pregnant with my brother, so after a few months of starting school, I was allowed to walk with the other children and their Mothers. But, Michael spotted me, and we walked together, gradually losing sight of the others. After about a year, when I had made friends with girls too. I was allowed to walk alone to school, Michael would meet me at the top of my road. This was fine until my parents discovered he came from the council estate. Good grief my parents were such snobs! So I pretended that I was walking with the posh girl at the top of our road.
Michael used to show off on the way to school, he used to tease this dog with a brown nose, the dog went crazy, then we would run off.
One day the owners had left the gate unlocked, Michael did his usual taunting, but as we ran off, the dog came belting up the road and bit him on his arse!!! He had to go to the nurse at school, and our parents were told. You can guess the rest.
