Kindergarden: A Short Story

Great Essays
Since kindergarden, I have always struggled. Behind in most classes, the only friend I still had was Brandon, the boy who once saved me. Acting as a parental figure, I looked up to him for everything, depending on him for any problems I had. In fact, he was the one who taught me to listen to everyone 's problems. However, on March 3rd, 1995, an event occurred that scarred me for life.

As school finished, I got ready to go to the park like I always did. I was already in 2nd grade, and was trusted to walk by myself to the park.

“I’m sorry, babe. I made a mistake one time. Forgive me, you know I love you”, he replied, trying to put me in his arms.

“Get the fuck out of here. I fucking hate you”, I screamed as I ran out of the school. My feet pounded against the cool, hard dirt. As I slowed down, I realized where I had run too. Above me were towering trees, grown in a way so a little path was made. Following this path, I was lead to a small clearing shaped in a circular pattern. Collapsing into one of the bountiful bushes that littered the edge of the clearing, my emotions broke loose as I cried my heart out.

Suddenly, I saw a flash of motion on one of the trees. Assuming it was an animal, I stifled a scream as I tried to hide. I closed my eyes in terror, tensing up. The sound of rustling leaves grew closer as I sat still. The leaves around me parted, and out popped a head with messy brown hair and a friendly face.

“Are you okay?” He asked tentatively, unsure of what to ask.

Surprised, I sat in silence, staring at his face. “Uhhh, I guess?” I replied, confused at what just

    Just as I had guessed John complicated things. When he took the phone out of my hands, Mr. Pignati suggested that we go over to his house and the ten dollar donation. And of course John accepted.

    As I played my latest video games, sitting in my favorite bean bag chair, on a seemingly flawless day until I heard the holler of my Mother proclaiming that I needed to leave the house to accomplish something rewarding. Being the gracious child, that I indeed was. I departed hastily, just as most children would; if their mother grabbed them by the ear and flung them out the front door. I dusted myself off, grabbed my bike, and rode over to my friend Tom’s house to hang out. When I arrived, I had discovered that he had a babysitter watching after him.…

    For many parents, the birth of a new child brings joy and glee. However for my father, I was a burden made by his late-night illegal activities. West Englewood is an area many people have not heard of - it’s tucked inside the southwest side of Chicago. During the day, the people of Englewood would wake up to the smell and sound of gunshots and burning tyres. Police officers would parade the streets in their well-ironed uniforms and the alleys would be covered with bright and colourful graffiti of sayings and images, which I didn’t understand at the time.…

    It was getting colder by the hour and what seemed to be a small forest turned into an enduring hike. Everyone was exhausted you could see the nervousness and wary in their eyes. There was this unusual eery silence no one seemed to talk, the only thing you could hear was the crunching of the leaves underneath our worn-out feet and the chirping and howling of the creatures of the night that the autumn wind threw our way. I took a deep breath in , inhaling the bitter medicine from my inhaler, this was my fifth puff in the past hour and it wasn't really helping, my lungs were slowly tightening.…
