Breaking The Fourth Wall

It is the 30th of January 2007, and my life is about to be changed forever… no, I’m not getting a sex change, I’m starting at a new school.

That’s not really a life-changing thing, Alex I hear a familiar female voice say, Everybody starts high school at some point in their lives.

Oh! Good morning, Mrs Herriot! I say, cheerfully.

Mrs Herriot is the mother of one of my sisters’ friends, and also one of the teachers at my new school, she and her family have been looking after me since early January because both my parents are overseas representing Australia at the UN’s International Nursing and Corrections convention, what do those two have to do with each other? Hell if I know, I guess they’re both state-run services? Anyway, I should really get ready for school.

That you should says Mrs Herriot

MRS HERRIOT STOP BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL! You can’t hear the parts that aren’t in quotation Marcuss remember? I enquire.

Now you’re breaking the fourth wall, mister! says Mrs Herriot.

Oh for the love of- let’s just get going I say, frustratingly.

Mrs Herriot and I head out to her car and head off for school.

Now Alex I know I’ve been asking this a lot, but I really need to be sure of it. Are you nervous at all? Don’t forget none of your old classmates will be there Mrs Herriot enquires.

She has been asking that a lot, I am sort of nervous but I think I’ll be fine once I settle in.

I’ll be fine, Mrs Herriot, please don’t worry too much about me, it’s not like you’re just dropping me off then heading back I say,

Key phrase mister, will be, that means you aren’t fine at all currently, what’s up? she asks.

Gah, I thought she was a Languages teacher not an English teacher!

Well to be perfectly honest, I’m sort of worried my class won’t like me, I mean I’ll have to LIVE with them for the next year! What if my Asperger’s gets the better of me and I unknowingly say something offensive? I ask, worryingly.

You’ll find a way to make things work she reassures.

You know what I think will work? Me just staying at your place! I say, in a sort of panicked tone.

Alex, you said the exact same thing before the orientation and you turned out fine, just give it a chance she reassures, this time a little more firmly.

Yes, miss I acknowledge.

Hey, wait a minute, wasn’t that the bus station we just passed?

Mrs Herriot I call for Mrs Herriot’s attention.

Yes, Alex? she enquires.

Didn’t we just pass the bus station where I’m supposed to join the bus that’ll take me to the school? I ask, worryingly.

Alex, look at the clock, what time is it? she enquires.

I know she knows but I’ll humour her.

It’s seven I answer

And what time is the bus supposed to leave? she enquires.

Eight I answer.

Hey, wait a minute, why’re we so early?

We’re going in already? What do you have a meeting or something? I enquire.

Yep, and you’re coming with me! she says.

Why am I attending a staff meet- oh never mind.

You’ll be meeting all your teachers there! she says, excitingly.

Really? Yay! I exclaim, also excitingly.

I feel sort of tired, I think I might rest my eyes until we arrive.

Mrs Herriot, I’m going have a little nap, could you please wake me up when we arrive? I request.

Sure, Alex she responds.

I close my eyes, and the next thing I hear is Mrs Herriot’s voice.

On your feet mister, we’re here! she exclaims.

Huh? Wha? What’s going on? Where are we? I question while trying to regain my bearings.

Just relax, we’re at school, take it easy now Mrs Herriot says while helping me out of the car.

We walk past a sign saying, Lisa Hills Community School – Administration district.

Get your student ID, ready, Alex, you’re gonna need it soon she says.

We walk up to a closed gate with a tall looking guy standing guard.

Garnett, a pleasure to see you, and this must be your charge, Alex Moore, right? the tall guy says.

I quickly hide behind Mrs Herriot, aside from my shyness around strangers, this guy kind of scares me!

"What’re you so shy for? This guy’s gonna be
