Lunch

My first day of High School was like experiencing Cedar Point all over again. It is like being on a brand new roller coaster for the first time because you don’t know what to expect. It is like being on a roller coaster with one big bump and that one big bump is enough to make you hurl.

The sound of sporting news radio filled my ears with sports talk as I am hitting the off button on my alarm clock with my fist like I am in a boxing ring with Mohammed Ali. I stayed up until eleven- thirty at night thinking about how my friends would react to the braces I just got on September Fourth. Will their reaction be to laugh or will their reaction be to leave me alone because other kids have braces too? I thought about this all night as it is hard to get up.

My morning is like any other morning I had in middle school. I woke up, took a shower, ate breakfast, packed my backpack and brushed my teeth. Ohhhhh! Brushing my teeth is impossible and took me forever to do. Finally, I finish brushing my teeth and it is off to Stevenson High School.

My first day of High School was average, not too bad and not too good. This is when I get to the new ride part because I didn’t expect that my braces would break. I am in fourth hour and I can smell my turkey sandwich and peaches as I am eager to eat lunch because I am hungry. I can also taste the can of root beer so I can’t wait to go to lunch. As I am getting nearer, and nearer to lunch I am getting nearer to the bump in the roller coaster. I knew it would be all downhill from there.

As I am starting to eat my lunch, I hear my mom say, “Small bites, eat slow, don’t break your braces because they are expensive,” like she said when I went to school. I ignored her voice as I think nothing of it and I start to eat my lunch.
While I am eating my lunch a wire on my braces broke. The only problem is I didn’t know my braces broke. It wasn’t until after I was done eating my lunch that I realized my braces had broke.

I was careful about not letting anybody know. I was worried that when I would talk to my teacher’s and friends, there will be a hole where the broken brace was supposed to be. I had to keep my mouth shut the whole day because I didn’t want anybody to notice.
Worst of all I didn’t want my parents knowing so I was thinking about when and how I will tell them my braces broke instead of focusing on school. When I got home I realized that it was a wire in the back of my mouth that broke and it would be easy to fix so I got worried over nothing.

I decided that I would tell my mom after dinner because I can tell her my braces broke after dinner and she wouldn’t yell at me that much. I told my mom that my braces broke and we argued a little bit because if I told her sooner she could have taken me into the dentist the day my braces broke. She made an appointment on Thursday to get my braces fixed and that took all the stress off my shoulders.

I learned to expect the unexpected and if you have something bad happen to you, it should be in the middle of the day instead of the beginning because you have something good to look back to instead of starting off the day bad and be worried about that the whole day. The first day of High School was ending as the ride was coming to a stop. Other than my braces breaking, I had a pretty good first day of High School.
