School Days
by Andrea Lena DiMaggio



I’ve decided which school I want to go to, Mom.

No. Oh no, honey. Not there! You know what they stand for and that’s not what we taught you.

I know, Mom, but I’m still going to go.

No! You will not! This is totally against nature, and you’re wrong!

But Dad…I…I’ve known I was like this since I was five!

You’ve been confused, honey. You just need to pray more.

No, Mom. This is who I am.

It’s your Uncle Dale, right? See, Mona! I told you nothing good would come of him spending time with that….

I knew even before I even met Uncle Dale!

No matter…No son of mine…. My child will not!

I’m sixteen, Dad… You can’t stop me!

Kim? Think of what you’re doing to your father.

I’m sorry, Mom, but this is who I am and I have to follow my dreams.


Sometime later….

Jeez, Kim. Are you going to be all day? We’re all ready and you’ve hardly started.

Sorry, Nina, but I want to be just so when I get called on. The first day of class and I want to make a good impression!

Well, if it’ll help, you make a good impression with me.

Oh…

Here, let me help you with your makeup.

Thanks
