Yesterday I made a terrible mistake. I had just beat Earthbound Beginnings after playing for 5 months on and off. I was so proud that I wanted to reward myself. I bought a red bandana, a striped shirt, and a ball cap. I looked in the mirror and I couldn’t believe it; I looked just like Ninten.

I wanted to wear my new outfit to school. I’m in seventh grade and most of the kids in my school just wear trendy clothes from American Eagle and GAP. I was trying something new.

Anyway, I walk into school. My hat was turned sideways and my bandana hung around my neck. Everyone was looking at me; I was the center of attention. As I arrived at my locker, I saw my friend, Ana (like from the game). She asked me if everything was okay for some reason. I was like, ” yeah, everything is great”. She said it was good but that I should probably take off the cosplay. I was furious.

I slammed my locker and went to the bathroom. I needed to make sure my costume was still aligned properly. It was. Anna was just being a moron. Some kid at the urinal looked at me funny. He shook his head. I asked him what was going on. He said not to worry about it.

I went to my first class: pottery. The art teacher confronted me. He said I looked like Calliou. I was livid. Calliou doesn’t even wear a damn hat. My art teacher is an idiot.

At lunch, no would sit with me. I pretended my friend, Lloyd, was there, but it didn’t work. Everyone thought I was an idiot. I didn’t cry, but I was mad.

I tried to tell the principal about my plight, but he didn’t listen. He just told me to take the costume off. I got so mad that I ran out of the principal’s office and ripped a bunch of posters down, then they tried to give me in school suspension.

I stayed home today for obvious reasons. Worst day ever yesterday.
