The rest of the week went on uneventfully. Dexter and I didn't really talk to each other. Either he was really mad at me or really ashamed. I'm a bit ashamed to. Today was Friday, and it was an odd day, meaning I didn't really get to see my friends today. I was at lunch when this little group came up. Three guys, and two girls. They sat beside and across me. The bigger guy of the group said, "Hey. Today is your lucky day. You see we've been watching you, and we heard that you don't have a problem." I looked at him funny. "I mean your not like those other freaks you moved in with. But. Just because you moved in with them doesn't mean you have to hang with them." One of the other girls said, "You see, life gets easy here when your not 'Special'." She put quotes in the air when she said 'Special'. I said, fairly irritated, "What's wrong with being, as you say, 'special'?" They all laughed. "For one thing they smell." One the other guys said. The other girl said, "And did you see that one pale cheerleader loving up on that basketball psychic freak? She is a total--" I slammed the table and stood up. "You can't talk about my friends like that!" They all looked at me. As did most of the Lunch room. The first guy stood up slowly, and said, "Are you saying, you'd rather hang out with a bunch a freaks, rather than us?" He asked really slowly. I said back, "They're better people than you bunch of country hicks." With that I grabbed my bagged lunch and marched out of the lunch room and towards the library. Yeah, That felt good.
I was about to get to the Library when I felt a firm hand on my shoulder and I froze. I heard the Principal's voice, "That was a very brave thing you did." I spun around to see Principal Richard. The guys said he was cool with us, so I calmed down a bit. "Am I in trouble?" I asked. He laughed a little, "No, no. I just wanted to speak to you about our school. You see, I realized that since you don't have special abilities like your friends, I would like to recommend the Kendo team we have." I looked at him, "Really?" He nodded. Then he said, "Believe it or not, there are some incidents that happen in this town. And we put up the class mainly for the student's safety. So that they may learn to defend themselves. Plus its invigorating as a sport." "I don't know." I said, thinking about it. Then he said, "It will replace your current schedule for gym." Without a second thought I said, "Deal." Then we shook hands. Cause I just realized, I had gym on Monday with a crabby lady and all five of those jerks from the lunch room. He smiled, "Your knew schedule will be put into affect Monday morning. Enjoy your lunch." I smiled, waved goodbye, and then proceeded to the library. "You two. Thanks Principal Richards."
