I was chewing and swallowing my food a
little too fast, because I almost choked on my dinner. I was so
busy with school and working at the café that I forgot
to eat.
My parents were watching TV, while my little 12 year old
brother Kyle was surfing on the internet. I was staring at my
brother, seeing his eyes widen.
“Mom, dad, Courtney! LOOK!” Kyle shouted, pointing
at the screen.
“What?” we all asked, irritated that Kyle
interrupted what we were all doing.
“Courtney is on internet!” Kyle informed.
I gagged at my food at his words. “What?” I asked,
not sure if I heard right.
“Just come here!” My parents and I scurried over to
my brother and the computer we all share.
“This article explains that Courtney saved the son of
some company from killing himself. And now the school has a bad
reputation because of the fact that someone tried to kill
themself right at the school.” Kyle explained.
My eyes widen as my parents gasped. “Oh my god, my
daughter is famous!” my mom squealed.
“And she even made that pathetic excuse for a school look
bad!” my dad added. My parents were both smiling
like idiots.
I didn’t know what to say. I was on an article on the
internet, where anyone in the world could read. I opened my
mouth to say something, but I was interrupted by the sound of
the doorbell.
All of our heads turned to the door. My mom motioned Kyle to go
get the door. He quickly nodded and got up from his seat. As
Kyle walked towards the door, my dad hissed “If
it’s the rent collectors, tell them that we aren’t
here.”
Kyle swung the door open, which revealed 2 large men in black
suits.
“How may I hel-“ Kyle drifted off, shrinking back
as he eyes the two large men.
“Can you get your parents?” one of the large men
asked.
“Mom! Dad!” Kyle shouted quickly, waving his hand
over to the door. My parents jumped out of their seat and
scurried to Kyle. Their eyes widen when they see the two
men.
“Hello, how m-may we help you?” my mom stuttered,
sounding nervous.
“Are you Courtney Evans’ parents?” one of the
large men asked.
“Y-yes, why?”
“We want to talk to Courtney Evan’s parents about
transferring her to J. Parker High School.” they
answered.
My parents’ jaws dropped. Once I heard that sentence, I
choked on my food again. After that, I walked up to the door
where everyone else was at.
“A-are you serious? But we don’t have the money to
send her to the school.” my dad clarified.
“Don’t worry, she will get a full
scholarship.” My parents looked at each other, looking
like they were about to burst of happiness. Meanwhile, I was
terrified. I definitely did not want to go to that horrible
school with those horrible people!
“Okay, let’s talk about it in the living
room.” my mom said calmly. We all then walked over to the
living room.
“Why does the school want to give Courtney a
scholarship?” my mom questioned the men once we all sat
down.
“Ever since the article Courtney was in came out, the
school has gotten a bad reputation. And the only way to solve
the problem is to get Courtney Evans transferred to the school.
We will give her a full schlolarship and the school
uniform.” one of the men replied.
There was a few seconds of silence. My parents gave each other
a look.
“Of course we’ll transfer her to the school!”
my parents declared.
“NO!” I shouted.
Everyone then turned their heads towards me, looking at me like
I was crazy.
“I don’t want to that stupid school.” I
simply said.
“Courtney, do you realize what mistake you’re
making?! You will go to the school one way or another!”
my mom yelled.
“I don’t want to go!” I repeated.
“COURTNEY!”
“Courtney, are you sure you don’t want to go there?
You know, they have a large and nice swimming pool
there.” Kyle mentioned.
I was silent for a minute. If the school has a swimming pool,
that changes everything. Should I go there? I really
don’t want to go there, because the school is full of
disgusting people. But if I go there, I can swim anytime I
want. Swimming is my life, and I missed swimming so badly. I
haven’t swam in forever. My swimming skills is the only
thing I really have, the only thing I like about myself.
Swimming is the only way I can clear my mind and release my
stress.
“Do I get to swim in the swimming pool anytime I
want?” I finally asked the men.
“Yes, anyone can access to the pool at school
hours.” they answered.
I thought about it for a few seconds. I really hope I
don’t regret my decision.
“I’ll go.” I told
everyone.
