Where am I ? (final draft)

My eyes were red as if I was a mongoose on a hot and boiling day. Tears streaming down my face was an assurance of my complete insanity. My searching eyes were blinded by the tears and sweat looking for my mother. At the time I had just moved back to North Philly from South Philly so I did not know the area. My elementary school was completely unorganized forgot to hand out the early dismissal paper. At the tender age of 7 I was not able to make out my plan. For quite sometime my mother has been picking up from school so I was in a complete daze. When the loud speaker yelled "today there will be an early dismissal". My heart just stopped for a whole tow minutes. The pushing and shoving down the hall made me so nervous then I reached the outside. My eyes were searching and searching until I realized my mother does not know the school let me out early.I left the school in a panic because I saw two strange men. Walking around people looked and laughed at the little girl who is crying like a baby. I realized I was walking in circles when I saw the school again. Then I just closed my eyes and thought of my mother's directions back to the house. I finally shook all the tears off and went home. I constantly knocked on the random door to see my mother's beautiful face. She grabbed me and held me tight thinking the absolute worse. Mommy pulled me away and asked if anyone has touched me, I replied "no". She pulled me into the house I told me that I was safe and what had happened. After I told her the story she grabbed the phone and began to curse up a storm to the school. Even though I had been through a wild experience I can still laugh at my mom for yelling at the principal like a manic. Good times. Good stuff.
