The Little Green Car

I remember walking out of the front door, I could see the dew drops glistening in the grass the sun was shining but it was still cold. The morning breeze ruffled my hair and played with the strings dangling from my coat, I knew that today, I would not be going back to the kindergarten.  I wasn’t quite sure where I was going but I knew it wasn’t going to be the kindergarten, I was told it was a “school” I had heard the word many times before. All the big kids went there, but I didn’t know what it was or why I was going there.

                 On the way to the car I heard mum talk about having to meet my Godmother, I loved my godmother I was always very close to her, but whenever she was involved it was something very important. I was so confused about all of this, but I stayed silent. I was leaning my head against the cold glass and watching the flashes of cars pass by on the other side, it was all very confusing I didn’t want to go to school- I wanted to go back and play with clay and draw stick animals. My mom looked back over from the front seat and gave me behavioral briefing. “… and remember always to ask nicely and try to smile a bit more”  were the last words that I heard resonating in my lost and empty mind before I heard the car door open. I sat up and looked over still in my trance-like state of semi sleep. My God mother sat down graciously next to me and looked at her she was wearing several shining rings and a long necklace with black stones implanted in the gold making the figure of a rabbit. I smiled and she took my hand and asked how I was, before I could even answer she asked me; “Are you ready? Today is your first day of school” I was speechless was my first day of school this important? The fact that my godmother even knew that today would be my first school day was shocking, but she was even attending my first school visit? I immediately went into a state off silent panic. Please tell me what is going on someone! I thought to myself. The rest of the car journey I sat there hyperventilating my eyes the size of teacups. Is this it? Yes it is!
