After having my place confirmed at the new school it was time for me and mum to head back to the other side of town so I unfortuantly could go to school and also so we could let the school know I wouldn’t be coming back weirdly I was actually soo excited to go to school knowing this was it this was my final day ever at that school (well half day as missed the first half so could go to visit my new school) and I actually for once didn’t care what happened ,What the teachers said ,whether I got bullied or not all because I knew this was it get through today and I never ever ever ever had to see that school again because I was never turning back once I walked out of that school gate tonight
Anyway going into school after the news I had just reccieved didn’t phase me in the slight and went straight in with no issues or complications at all and I knew I could get through the day without being sent home I was going to make it and survive the day .So I went straight to join my class in ICT .I remember going and sitting on the carpet with the rest of my class and sitting their talking to my best friend Emma about why I had missed the morning at school
A) because she’s my best friend
B) we tell each other everything
C) i was so excited
D) i wasn’t coming back to the school
E) it couldn’t wait (i couldn’t wait to share the news )
So yeah I sat there on the carpet with the rest of my classmates trying to tell Emma everything whilst trying to trick the teacher into thinking that I was listening to the lesson instructions or whatever she was talking to the class about .Which kinda didn’t work out in my favor as got caught a fair few times ,But I likely got caught not only because I was sitting talking to Emma when I should have been listening but also my classmates also began to listen in and asking me questions (cheers for making it more obvious than it already was you subtle lot 😛 .But it was the fact technically you could say I was distracting the rest of the class because of this and obviously it didn’t impress the teacher that her class were more interested in finding out why I was moving than her ICT lesson which to be honest wasn’t all that interesting anyway was something about doing a weather report or something .So yeah my ICT teacher instead decided to threaten me with a time out usually this would have been something which would have bothered me if it had happened before(which it hadn’t) .But this time it really didn’t bother me sitting at a little table for like a minute and then going back into the classroom but due to me moving school and that knowing I wasn’t going to be coming back it really didn’t phase me at all .In all seriousness I felt like I really was on top of the moon as though nothing could knock me down (it’s a great feeling for those of you who haven’t experienced it other than being drunk or high or whatever ) ,It would have been great to have stood on top of planet earth and shout it out for the world to hear ,sadly this wasn’t possible to do .I did but didn’t get that timeout i’m not really sure what it was as the schools head of behavior teacher Mrs Cook came down to our ICT lesson and called me out and made me sit outside of the classroom and told to stay sitting there until she returned bit bizarre hadn’t ever seen this happen to anyone else nor had this happened to me before so what was going on ??!? .What was even weirder was when she returned I was sent back into class , erm ok you just called me out to speak to me , left me sitting outside the classroom until you return then come back an send me straight back into class??!!
A few minutes later Mrs Cook returned and again called me out of class bit bizarre right ? only think I honestly was able to think was maybe she’s going to actually talk to me this time (not that I even knew what she wanted to see me or speak to me about anyway) , It turned out she wanted to talk to me and led me down to the front of the school to go into an office and talk to her in their just the two of us ok what was going on ? and the talk was about her being kind of concerned (more like being nosy) to find out if it was true that I was moving school and why and doing the whole are you happy in school ?, anyway after confirming I was moving an NOOOO I wasn’t happy in school was sent back to class , great now you’ve finished being nosy and I’ve made you all satisfied
A few minutes later Mrs Cook returned to our class and called me out for a third time seriously what on earth was going on ?? what did she want now ?? and when I went out of the class with her she briefly sat me outside the class and basically wanted to know if it was ok for her to talk to me and have a chat erm yes , but I thought we had just had that chat ?? .This time I was taken to the deputy head teachers office where the deputy head Mrs Bass (Or Mrs Gas as we liked to call her) was sitting in one of the chairs so ,I was personally expecting Mrs Cook to turn round and say either :
A) Sorry can I borrow your office for a few minutes whilst I have a chat with Bethan?
B) Sorry she thought that the office was free , did she know anywhere else we could go?
C) She needed to quickly talk to her before we had our chat
Nope it wasn’t A,B, or C instead it was D the complete opposite I was told to take a seat in one of the available chairs in Mrs Cook was asking me whether I wanted her to stay in the room or if I wanted her to wait outside the room , Brilliant I was talking to the deputy head how fantastic -_- Personally I said I didn’t mind either way whether she stayed or not although secretly I really wanted her to stay with me ( Noo way did I want to be left alone with Mrs Gas)
Luckily for me Mrs Cook decided to stay in the room (thank god) it kind of helped having her in the room as it made me feel better about the situation but at the same time it made me feel really awkward talking to Mrs Gas .Stupidly at the time all I could possibly think was , was I in some kind of trouble? , had I done something and not realised? ,Had a teacher made a complaint about me ? , Nothing made any sense as to what was going on until I was told by Mrs Gas that my mum had rung in to say that I wasn’t going back to the school ,I was also told that my dad had sent her an email that morning as well .It soon became clear I was here to talk about why I was moving school (something which should have been done by the head but well she had , had a falling out earlier that week with my mum so didn’t even want to face me)
Mrs Gas basically wanted to be nosey and find out why I was leaving the school , which school I was moving to etc as well as trying to be nice to me for once and persuade me to stay at the school .It was far too late for this , things had gone too far and there was no way I was going to back down and stay at that school as I knew things wouldn’t ever improve their and the next day it would be as though the talk had never happened
Once they had both finished talking to me I was sent back to class on my own shutting the door on them knowing that they were sitting behind the closed door discussing it all and talking about me which made me feel extremely awkward but I knew I had done the right thing by not backing down and sticking to my guns of moving school
By that break time ,word had spread around the school god know how it got around so quickly I will never know especially as break was after that ICT lesson and i’d only just told my class , well my class had only just found I was moving and it wasn’t like back then we all had blackberries and iphones or anything .It was just word of mouth .I only noticed this because as me and Emma came out of the doors from the school building out into the playground we were greeted with a crowd of other kids asking is it true your leaving? , why are you moving? where are you moving to? ,Was I going to ever go back to that school ?
As the final hour of school approached I weirdly began to feel quiet sad at the fact that I was leaving my best friend behind to go to a school where I didn’t know anyone or anything ,This then led me to become worried about whether or not I would make new friends at my new school or not .Eventually the end of the school day arrived and in an odd way I was actually rather sad about leaving , Not that I was going to miss the school all that made me feel like this was seeing the other side of what this school could actually be like as I’d expirenced no bullying, all the pupils and teachers were being exceptionally nice to me .Although I knew that this was only because I was leaving and as soon as I said alright i’ll stay it would have gone back to normal .Seeing as I had seen the other side of the school I was determined to go ahead with the move
When I got home from school that evening it hit me , this was really happening ,I really wasn’t returning back to that school and I could finally be at ease and not worry about the bullying which would have otherwise have been facing me and instead looked forward to the next morning .Although I was excited about moving I didn’t get my hopes up as I mean I thought everything would be fine at that school and look what happened there .I could only hope not to face any more bullying from here onwards
