Mum got a dark, horrible, ugly green colour jumper, a white plain polo shirt and a dull grey pair of trousers. The uniform was as dull and as glooming as the day outside.
“Mum what’s that?” I said
“It’s a uniform you have to wear it when you go to school!” She said in a firm voice.
Mum said, “Go down stairs and see Dad you can have breakfast together and watch T.V”
I went downstairs and was greeted by Dad. Dad said “hello Chris, looking forward to school today?”
“I’m not sure really, but I think it will be fun” I replied
Dad shouted out from kitchen “Can you come out here to see what you want to eat?” so I went out to the Kitchen and said to Dad “Can I have toast?”
“Yes!” Dad replied.
“Go and sit inside and I’ll bring it to you!”
“OK” I replied happily
I went inside and looked and what was on the T.V, it was the News. But I was to nervous to watch the T.V. Dad came in with the toast with butter and Marmite.
“Thanks Dad” I said “My favourite!”
“That OK, I’ll be in, in a minute” Dad said walking back out to the Kitchen to get his breakfast.
I stared at the toast; even though it was favourite I didn’t know whether I could eat it. I felt as if I had butterflies in my stomach. Dad came in with toast and tea. He said “I’d better eat this quickly otherwise I will be late for my train”. Dad ate it in one flash and in this time Mum had come down and she was now out in the Kitchen putting on her toast. Dad said “I’ve got to go to work now!”
“That’s OK!” I replied
“Bye Chris, have a good first day at school and don’t worry it will be OK when you get there you’ll make lots of friends” Dad said trying to give me a boost.
“Ok Dad thanks, I’ll see you tonight!” I said
Mum was talking to Dad in the Kitchen, Dad then left and Mum came in and sat down with me to eat her breakfast. I had now eaten mine. Mum said, “ We will have to leave after we have eaten this!” I now felt really sick knowing the time to leave Mum was becoming ever closer.
………….
Mum had now finished her breakfast and she took my and her plate out to the Kitchen. She came back in and said, “Time to go now”. My stomach was a wreck it felt like a theme park. I couldn’t believe that I was going to leave my Mum for the first time ever in my life I was scared and not sure how I would get on with other children. Mum got the car keys and got my coat and my lunchbox. She said “Chris can you put your coat on for me please?”
“Ok Mum!” I replied
I put my coat on and Mum gave me my lunchbox. We opened the door the day was cold and rainy, it was horrible. Mum said “Run for the car door and you wont get wet”
So I did and I didn’t get wet. Mum then quickly locked the house and joined me sitting in the car. “Ready” she said
“Yes!” I replied
Mum said, “ Lets go then!”
She pulled out on to the road and we then took a left to get on to another road and then a right to get on to the main road. Every bend she took made me feels even more nervous. Traffic was light so we had no problems getting to school
……….
We arrived and parked in this big school park. We got the only space left Mum said “ That was very lucky”
I said, “ Yes, Mum what will happen today”
She replied, “ I don’t know shall we go to your classroom, because the rain has stopped”
“OK I suppose lets go” I replied
