The Very Regular Superhero

The Very Regular Superhero

"Hurry up! You have to go to school!" My mom yelled from upstairs. I stuffed a pop-tart into my mouth and rushed into the car. My mom came downstairs with a green face mask and a bathrobe, and I said "Mom! You know you can't drop me off to school like this!" She did not reply, and when I got to school, everyone took one glance at my mom, then me, and grimaced. At recess, bullies made fun of me, and taunted me just because of how I showed up to school. Just then, I remembered the famous saying “Brains are better than brawn.” I surprised the bullies with my brainpower, and that was the last time I have ever been bullied since!
