Leonard wanted to be cool, he wanted to be calm but the first day of school does stuff to you, and it doesn’t do anything good.
Leonard looked at the school as his bus approached it. He didn’t know what to think, or how to calm himself down. His chest was pounding, and his stomach was aching, and either his bowels were full of gas or they were full of crap, and he didn’t want to find out which one.
Leonard didn’t have enough energy to tell himself that everything would be alright, he was spending too much energy telling himself how everything can possibly go wrong, and how in the past.. it did go wrong.
All he had to do was make it through the first day, then maybe make it through the second, if he could do those things, then the hard part might be over. He knew that he was probably making a big deal out of nothing, but heck he could only convince his mind of that, not his body.
He would rather be worried in his mind, than worried in his body, but that wasn’t something he could control, nor change. He would have to survive the first day of school, and he would have to survive it as a nervous wreck. He wasn’t being given too many other options.
Today was going to suck, tomorrow is going to suck and this whole week is probably going to suck, and if he didn’t keep his “instability” in his bowels, then it was going to do more then just suck, it was going to disgrace him, he would have to move schools, change friends, and…. wait.
” Leonard, your suppose to take one day at a time remember?”
” easy for you to say!”
” just be careful man, you remember 9th grade, I could just say you need a chill pill but that would be an understatement, I would know, I am you after all”
The doors on the bus opened, he didn’t know how this was going to happen, but this is how it was going to start, and maybe this would be how it would end… he hoped.
