Little Kat in High School

This is Little Kat's second week in high school. He takes the bus every morning to school. The bus comes very early. Good thing Momoko has to go to work early too. She finds that Little Kat oversleeps a lot, and she has to wake him up. Our next door neighbor goes to school with Little Kat. He was not at the bus stop during the first few days. We feared he might have transferred to another school. Luckily he eventually showed up.

Little Kat is at a slight disadvantage. He went to elementary and middle school at the school where Momoko teaches. That was not the neighborhood school. Now that Little Kat is older, he is going to the neighborhood high school. However most kids that go there went to the local elementary and middle schools. Little Kat does not know them. It is a tough world when you are the only guy from a school that feeds another high school.

For some reason, Little Kat got put in a math class that was for students who previously failed Algebra. Little Kat never took Algebra before. This was not working out. The teacher assumed the students all knew the basics of Algebra having taken it before. Eventually Little Kat spoke up and said he had never taken Algebra. Wouldn't you know it? A few other kids piped up after Little Kat saying the same thing. The teacher got them all transferred to a normal Math class.

This transfer was a good thing. Little Kat's lunch period moved as a result of the class change. He now eats lunch with a few kids that previously went to his middle school. There are a few kids that get pulled into Little Kat's school for some special programs. Looks like Little Kat finally found them. Little Kat now also gets to enjoy the better lunches that the high schools provide. Good luck Little Kat!
