The Snack

"Are we there yet?", I'd ask fo rthe 37th time,
My mother looked at me with her all-knowing eyes.
I took off my backpack and laid it onto the taxi floor.
"But Mom, Mom, I really need to go."
"We're here," she said with a roll of her eyes.
She paid the cab driver and led me inside.
My stomach seemed to grow butterflies as we walked through the door,
"Mom, you know what? I don't need to go anymore."
She told me that they'd like me, that there was nothing to be afraid of,
And she pushed me into room with carpeted toy-covered floors.
"There she is! The new student is here!" Ms. Newteacher cried.
"She really needs to use the bathroom." With newfound energy my Mom replied.
"Who would like to show her where the bathrooms can be found?
Ah, Kaitlin, why don't you show Juhi around?"
And with that Kaitlin led the way so nature's call could finally be answered.
She waited until I was done and back into the room we entered.
To my surprise, everyone was feasting on a snack.
It was then that I realized I didn't have my backpack.
"Where's your snack?" Kaitlin asked, and I meekly replied,
"I left it on the taxi." and thought I may as well have died.
"Aw, that's too bad. I'll share my snakc with you."
And with that kaitlin's friends replied, "We'll share with you too."
with little donations from all the girls, I had snackage galore.
And on that first day of school, I couldn't ask for more.
