Complicated Bumble Bee
Hi! Welcome to Wonderland (not going to call you that)!!!! Before you jump to any conclusions this has nothing to do with Alice in Wonderland. Sorry.
Shall we begin?

"Damn it!" I said when I dropped my glass cup on the floor while late for the bus. I growled and my mom said, "Oh! Honey! Don't worry about it. Get your stuff and go. I've got it." She hugged me and shooed me out of the kitchen.
I grabbed my backpack and threw on my hoodie then ran out of the front door. I had just made it to the bus stop as the bus pulled up. I sighed in relief. I walked on with a big grin. Kids were already throwing paper and taking naps. One kid with a sick blue shirt yelled at me, "Loser!" So I turned at him and stuck my tongue out trying to be the nicest I could.
A middle schooler that I've never seen before accidentally kicked me.
"Pick a seat kid!!!" I panicked and sat down in the first open seat I could find. I sat next to some kid. I didn't bother looking at them but then I heard a voice next to me. "So what's your name dude?" I turned my head confused and saw a boy who looked to be a Junior. His hair was dark brown and he had a scar on his ear. "So you gonna answer me?" He asked with a groggy morning voice. I answered with no voice almost. "My name? Well you see... my name isn't exactly an open idea." And cleared my voice. The kid scoffed and asked, "Why?" I shrugged and said, "But most people call me whatever comes to their head first." I looked at him. He laughed and asked, "So I could call you bitch and you'd answer?" I nodded. "Well, I'm not that mean so I'll call you....." he looked out of the window for inspiration. "I'll call you uhhh I don't know Bumble Bee. No I'll call you Bee or Bumble." I smiled and said, "Okay. Sounds cool. So what's yours?" He said, "My what? Oh! My name. My name is Felix, Felix Hunt." I smiled and said, "Well it's nice to meet you Felix." He winked and clicked his tongue, "Back at you man."
We got to the school and I groaned. Felix laughed as we got off. As we stood looking at the school I remembered I forgot my schedule. "Ahh man! I forgot my schedule!" Felix looked up from his phone and said, "Uh oh. Well at least you'll have someone to go get it with." I looked over at him confused. He laughed and said, "Me Bumble. I don't have mine either." I mouthed an 'oh!'
We walked in and headed to the office. We got our schedules and compared. "Ok, so we have 1st, 3rd, 4th, -lunch!- and 6th together! Sweet." Felix said. I replied, "What a relief. Not alone for 1st!" Felix laughed a little then we made our way to our 1st hour class. We came in to a bright ass room. We found ourselves in the only spot for shade.
Our new teacher was just coming into class. He gestured his hands down and waited for us to shut up. He said, "My name is Mr.Herrera." Silence in the room. Then he said, "Oh come one guys. I know it's the first day of school but liven up a little bit." The class all said, "Hello Mr.Herrera."
He smiled and sat down to take attendance. As he went down the list he got to mine and said, "Out of context????" I said, "Here!" Some new kid shuffled in the back to look at me confused. I looked over to the sound of confusion to a girl with black and pink curly hair. She had a dark blue tie die hoodie. She was wearing black short overalls and yellow thigh highs with red high top Converse. I looked away.
The period passed by quickly. Mr.Herrera was asking us what we want to do and what we like to do. You know that stuff.
Mr.Herrera called on Felix, "Tell us about yourself." Felix rolled his eyes a little and said, "My name is Felix Hunt. I like to cook and write music. When I'm out of here I would like to make music." I nodded in approval. Mr.Herrera said to me, "You there! Im the back. Tell us about yourself please." I answered, "My name is whatever you want to call me. Preferably nothing rude or obscene." The girl from earlier raised her hand interrupting me, "Why don't you tell us your name?" I looked at Mr.Herrera as he stood there mentally asking the same question. Then I replied, "I can't really tell you because it's a social experiment ." I shook my head and waved my hand. "It's complicated. Anyway! I like to draw and when I'm older I would like to do photography." I smiled then sat back in my seat.
I waited for Mr.Herrera to call on the girl with pink hair and she was last. "My name is Dovie Lyles. I like to act and when I'm older I would like to become a Pilot."
At lunch Felix and I went next door to the school to go get Panda Express. We have an open campus. When we got back to the school we found ourselves under the score keeper on the football field. We talked about a lot stuff and knew I would be friends with this kid for a long time. After it got quiet he asked, "So who's this girl 'Susie' I keep hearing you talk about?" He said as he took a bite of his chicken. When he asked that question my heart stopped and I swallowed and said, "Susie was my best friend." He looked over at me and asked worried, "Was?" I nodded and looked off further onto the field. "Yeah... Susie died in June." He put his hand on my back and said, "Oh man. I don't know what to say. I'm so sorry." I shrugged and finished my cookie.
All of a sudden Dovie came over and sat down. "Hello." I said, Felix waved. She asked, "So what do I call you then?" I rolled my eyes. Felix said, "He says to call him whatever comes to mind." I looked at him and nodded. Then looked back at Dovie. She said, "Okay. Complicated it is then. It's nice to meet you Felix and Complicated. The name's Dovie." I swallowed my cookie and said, "Nice to meet you Dovie." Felix said the same thing.
After the day was over I saw Felix go a couple houses down from mine on the other side of the street. I came home to my dog Benson and pet him. "Mom!?" I called. No answer. I went up to my room and sat there for a while. I came back downstairs to make diner and found my mom asleep on the couch in her uniform. I sighed and took her dead cigarette from her hand and put it the ashtray. Then I put a blanket over her and kissed her forehead.
I made some noodles and veggies, saved some for mom and went to bed.
