AUGUST, 10 years old, his first time in a public school. His sister and his mother drop him at school, they need to see the director; they cross the playground to reach his office.

MOTHER’S V.O

-Ready for your fisrt day at school honey?

I looked at her, she was staring at me

-Yes, I think. I said.

EXT- In the director’s office

MRS MC KYNLEY, the school’s director: an imposing man, but a teddy bear inside.

DIRECTOR’S V.O

-Hello my big guy! Welcome! how do you feel?

his welcome surprised me, I was expecting him to juge me like everyone does.

-I’m a little bit stressed out but it’s okay… I responded.

My sister was scrutinizing every word he was saying, to catch him at the first wrong word. He didn’t say anything bad or mean.

SISTER’S V.O

-I hope everything is going to be okay for him here.

-That is all we can hope for, and I will not hesitate to punish the slightest bad comment against him. You don’t have to worry about this. The director said.

So! let’s bring you to your new classroom.

DIRECTOR’S V.O

-Good morning everyone, you can seat.

I present to you your new classmate, August. Please be sure to incluse him in the class and in your friend’s groups.

They were horrified when they saw me. I wasn’t surprised. Here we go again.
