Disney School

Chapter 8

Alice POV.
I have the urge. The that one of my friends I lying to one another. Hmm. I wonder if the tea would tell me? I know more about my friends secrets than they think and even though I'm mad the madness has given me extra sight. The tea can tell me, yes the tea.
Melody has already gotten off the bus and has made Wendy feel mixed emotions while I sat the other side of them watching. I saw Melody have the emotions of Embarrassment, Anger, Annoyance, Jealousy and one of the worst 'Stabbed in the Back' feeling which has no name officially but that's what it looks like. I sat and watched how Peter Pan lied to Melody about not liking Wendy and cancelling their outing. When really he just couldn't wait until Melody got off the bus. Well he had them both fooled until he told Wendy he lied and I on the other hand ... well tea helps my sight and my knowledge more than people think. I'm only like this because of Wonderlad anyway. Everything you see, I see in a different view. Much more mad but yet Wiser than what you think. Ah yes, words of wisdom you think... it's just your average sentence telling truth.
I sat and watched Peter talk to Wendy and Wendy becoming more and more delighted. The both left the bus soon after and all that was left was me, not alone on the bus just me out of our friendship group. I sat and doodled in my sketchbook. I doodled a rabbit, he wore a little waist coat and had a watch, he wore glasses and looked extremely rushed. He kept on saying "I'm late! I'm late !! For a very important date!" Which I didn't understand completely then but the date was the Queen of Hearts birthday I think. She had a cake but I think the hatter and the other rabbit had meant other things entirely.
"A very happy unbirthday to yoooou!!" They sang and the little mouse who came out the teacup singing its own song, who seemed very tired from all the Unbirthdays recently.
"Twinkle. Twinkle. Little Bat, how I wonder what your at. Up above the world you fly. Like a tea tray in the sky. Twinkle. Twinkle. Little Bat, How I wonder what your at!" He sang to the queen. She enjoyed it as much as I did.
I got off from the bus and wondered down the lane which goes through a forest and deeper I travelled, for my friends didn't know I owned a Mansion in the woods. I walked past the lake under the tree where I saw the little rushing rabbit with my cat, Dinah. She's such an understanding cat who doesn't talk but meows and yet I still understand her, Like if she wants to be fed or needs attention or is tired or bored. The Cheshire Cat. Oh no no. He made no sense at all. I was really stuck on which path to go but he gave no help at all. He told me just to follow one.
I saw him in a tree in Wonderland and I simply asked "Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to go." that Cheshire cat replied.
"I don't much care where-" I said.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go." he said
"-so long as I get somewhere." I added as an explanation.
"Oh your sure to do that, If you only walk long enough." he said then disappearing by each stripe on his fur and all that's left was a face that seemed to laugh and smile at me and then ... gone was the cat.
I surely met him again of course and that's how I found out I was mad. Like the rest of them.
"You will probably go among mad people." he said as he appeared and seemed to float in mid air which didn't bother me at the the because I had see madness about but didn't realise.
"But I don't want to go among mad people" I remarked.
"Oh you can't help that." the cat said. "We're all mad here"
"How do you know I'm mad?" I said.
"You must be." he said. "or else you wouldn't come here."
"Then if we are all mad then you must be. That means what you said couldn't possibly be true because I know I'm not mad." I say.
"I'm not mad. My reality is just different than yours." he smirked and disappeared again just like the last. I didn't believe it at first until I wondered more into the woods and found myself getting madder by the minute. Just thinking about idea of normal makes me giggle, there is no official definition of normal. Your normal and my Normal and two completely different normals. All are different, none alike to that means no normal at all. So normal is a mad word just put there to make people think there is a normal. Normality is just a myth. Nothing more, trying to achieve normal would be like growing wings and turning immortal in seconds as that, well that isn't normal. You see?
Well you must be confused but if you aren't you are officially as mad as me. That's a good thing. I hope your as mad as me. Then you will see the truth also. I hope. Perhaps mad is the same as normal, two completely different meanings to two completely different people... I guess no words have an official meaning. Sad really because you don't know what I mean. Unless you do. Which of you don't. I suppose I'm mad. Right now, and forever. Well perhaps I should go. Yes, I know I'm in this book too. That's the tea. The Hatter Effect, I call it. Then again we went over meanings so... what does The Hatter Effect mean to you. If you know what I mean.
