Narrative Essay On Stereotypes
There were seven people. Some consider seven to be an unlucky number, but that is just a stereotype, as does the numbers thirteen, seventeen, and so on. There were seven; Billy and Jimmy, brothers, Suzie and Suzan, the twins, Bob, who gave everyone a hard time with negativity, Jill, who never thought she would meet anyone, as she didn't want to, and Jeff, no one knew where he came from, but he always showed up there, but he never should have there. They never knew each other, but they ended up together.
The day they met, it actually took place over many days. They were in the school yard, with Jill in the corner, as always. Suzie and Suzan were playing, as always, Bob was in the corner, as always, and Billy and Jimmy were playing in the school yard, as always. Jeff was nowhere to be found, but he always turns up at some point. Bob and Jill would have suited each other, but they were always in the corner, never wanting to meet anyone, let alone each other.
Later that day, Jeff came to school, but that was no surprise, he always turned up even though he wasn't enrolled. The surprise was where he turned up. Jeff is a male, that much is obvious, but he turned up

Suzie and Suzan followed Jeff and Jill through the gates, and eventually wound up by Billy and Jimmy. Even though no one ever passed through the gates, the groups of two never understood the stereotypes of their world. As such, they both accepted each other with open arms. They were always playing in their respective groups, and now saw no reason not to do today in this unique situation. After a few minutes someone found them, or rather a small group had found them. The group consisted of two people. One was Jill, and the other was Bob. They had been together for a while now and understood the joys of having friends, and had empathy for them, and left them be for the time being. But that all changed the next

    32 “Well its actually happening ma’, I’m goin’ back to school.”Rufus said. “I want you to know, I truly am proud of you Rufus.” His mother replied. Curtis and Janet went to a different school then Rufus but he still walked them to school then walked himself to school. On his way to school a car followed him very slowly but Rufus kept walking. When he got to school it looked the same on the outside that it always had. Rufus pushed open the doors at Searingtown School and yelled “I’m back!” All of his friends ran over to hug him. He went down to the office to get a tour he thought he didn’t need because he remembered every single solitary thing about this place. While the tour was going on everything going on was a blur. He looked left, right and left again, admiring the changes the school had made. “Wow” he sighed. “Is there a problem Rufus?” the tour guide asked. Rufus answered, “When I was here the wall paint was all chipped, there were broken windows and holes in the walls.” “Oh ok, well that concludes our tour and this door on your right is your first period class.” The tour guide replied. Rufus walked in and sat at an available seat at the back of the class room. He opened his notebook and took notes even though he didn’t understand anything that was going on. By the time 5th period came around it was time for lunch he was starving. All of his friends called him over and asked him to sit with him. Momma didn’t make him a big lunch because they didn’t have that much food in the house and then needed to split it 3 different ways. Allison who used to have a big crush on Rufus sat right next to him. Mitchell and Charlie sat across from him and Christina, Alisha and Sammy sat around them. When the bell rang he went to his locker and when he got to class he looked out the window and saw the same car that followed him to school. The only person he thought of was Simon. But he didn’t have a car? Rufus ran to the office to explain the…

    “Ugh!”, he grunts from how large the suitcase is. “Will you be able to carry that, Scottie?” she says, her face, worn from time, twists with concern for her son. “Of course”, he laughs. “Okay, if you’re sure.” She says as she opens the metal gate to the front yard. They slowly walk through the cracked pathway until they reach the steps to the porch. Beatrice opens the sturdy door with her keys. “Honey, I’m home!” Scottie yells into the empty living room. “Must you do that every time you come inside the house?” She says fondly. “Of course, I must.” He says as if she should already have known the answer. While they were talking, Alice and Jake, Scottie’s younger siblings, heard his announcement and excitedly ran out of their room and down the beige stairs. “Stop making all that racket!” she admonishes her children. “SCOTTIE!” they yell out enthusiastically. “You’re home!” Alice states, full of wonder that her big older brother is finally back where he belongs. “Well, it’s obvious that I’m home unless I’m an imposer who’s secretly an alien”, He jokes, winking at Alice. “I definitely didn’t miss your humor,” Jake lightheartedly says. “Oh, come on, I tell the best jokes”, Scottie says smiling. “Yeah right, in your dreams”, Jake jokingly teases. “Leave your brother alone for right now. He had a long trip and he’s probably exhausted.” Beatrice gently tells to her…
