Chapter 41: Indie - first day
I go inside. The first thing I notice is the stained-glass windows perched up high in the arched windows. A tiny white woman approaches me.
"Hello, I'm Ms. Restro."
"Restro?" I politely ask looking into her dark eyes matching the blackness of her hair that mixes in with her dark skin tone.
"Ms. Restro," she corrects me. "I'll be showing you around the school..." she tells me in her sassy voice where the restrooms are, the office, the clinic, and where the four grade rooms are. "This will be your class." She explains. "And yes, we do switch between periods." She tells me 1st period through 9th period. "There's a split period between history and lunch for outside activities like walk for the cure, activism, BLM, feminism, LGBT, etc. If you don't support basic human rights, then you sit with the homophobe Trumpies on the bleachers making jokes for changing society." She leaves.
The classroom was where Sunday school was taught. The same glass windows that I saw in the hallway are everywhere. Most with Jesus holding the cross or Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus in her loving appreciative arms. I've never asked myself these types of questions but did my mom ever love me?
The teacher escorts me to an old pew filled with kids laughing and talking. The two girls at the end scoot down, "Five to a seat, ladies. Maridah sit here." The teacher points to the pew in front of the one I enter.
"Hi, I'm Amilla Remeréz and she is Alaynna," Amilla explains in a faint Hispanic accent.
"Amilla," Alaynna wines, "you know Rebirto?"
"Yeah, what about him?"
"Well, he invited me to go to his best friend's birthday party and he broke up with me." She cries. "I thought he loved me, but I guess not."
"It's okay, Alanna." She embraces her.
"Hey I-I'm Indiana." I feel uncomfortable around the crying girl as her face buries into Amilla's chest.
She sighs, "The last month, Rebirto had a party and he invited her to the party with him and broke up with her."
"And he stole my heart and ripped it out and squshed it like-like-like I was an incect," she sobs.
I hear the girl infornt of me, "I'm so glad I don't have to sit there anymore. Poor new girl. She has to put up with her whiney shit."
This school is a lot already. And it's my first day and my first class.
"Alaynna, do you need to go to the office until you're okay?" The tacher softly asks.
Alaynna nods as I scoot my legs in so she can get out. Amilla sighs and streightens up and explains the thing around school and what to expect.
