Monday Afternoon After School: At the Turtle Green House

I peeked through the large purple door.

Julea the maid was there cooking dinner. I sniffed the air. It smelled like chicken curry!

“Mmm”, I hummed.

“Hey jerkface!”came a voice from across the street. I swiftly turned around. “Oh, great”, Jimmy McWess. My stomach lurched. Last week he gave me a wet willy. The week before that, he gave me a mega noogie.

I started to think of what I should shoot back. “ Shouldn't you be at your reading and writing after school program?” I yelled.

“I quit,” He yelled back.

“And now ultra wedgie time”. Before he had time to grab me I gave him a nugget right in the stomach. He did not react. I knew I’m in for some fun.

He grabbed me by both shoulders and flung me over the fence. I landed on the back of my head but I did not waste a second. I jumped right

up and battle rammed him. He fell with a thud. He quickly got up and tried to punch me. I dodged and battle rammed him one more time. Or I tried. I ran and he stepped back and put his foot where he used to be.

I tripped over his foot and landed face first into the pavement. All of a sudden my right foot felt like it was going to fall off. It felt like a thousand little needles were poking holes into my foot. I tried to get up. The place where my face landed was completely red.

“Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha”, cried Jimmy. I felt hopeless.

At that moment the maid came steaming out of the house, into the sun.

“Now young man,” scolded the maid. “Where do you live?” Jimmy pointed at the yellowish greenish house next door . The maid loaded me up in our blue van.

First stop was the McWess house. Jimmy’s mom was there. “Want to come inside?” she asked.

“Thanks for the offer but, no. Look at what your son did.”

Mom McWess looked inside the van where I was. Her eyes widened like dinner plates. She looked at the maid and back at me. “Jimmy Caprock McWess, get your butt over here NOW!!!”

Jimmy came running. “Get into the house right now and you're doing all their yard work for the rest of the month!”

Jimmy said “ok” and went into the house. He acted all cool on the outside, but I bet on the inside he was freaking out.

The second place we went was the hospital. The nurse gave me a shot, and had an x-ray done of my foot. Apparently I broke my ankle. “Well that explains the pain,” I thought. The nurse popped my leg in a cast, gave me crutches and sent me on my way.

Tuesday Morning: No Normal Morning

“Wake up!”

I open my eyes. My mom was standing on the side of my blue bed.

“Oatmeal’s on the table”,she said. Then she gave me my crutches and strolled out of the room. I got my crutches and headed after her. When I got to the stairs I took a deep breath and placed the tip of my crutch on the first stair.

“Ok,”I thought. “So far so good but here's the tricky part.” I place the other tip of my crutch on the next stair. I lift my body and…

My foot touches the stair below. Yes.

After breakfast Mom asked me to go down to the basement so I go down like I did before on the stairs down to the living room.

I hate the basement. I feel the cold air nipping at my legs. I feel as if a pipe is going to fall on me any minute now. I go for the light switch on the wall. but it's not there. I make a circle with my hands on the concrete wall. I don't feel anything. Drip Drop Drip Drop Drip Drop. I quickly turn around. I feel as if this was a graveyard. I feel as if corpses are just going to come out of the ground and grab my feet. The hairs on the back of neck raise. I've read Harry Potter and it feels as if a dementor has just sucked the happy thoughts out of me.

Chomp!

“ YOUCH!!” I cry out with pain. I look down. A little black cube looks like a just bitten in my mid lower left leg probably because it probably can't get to the right one. Then it turns into a rat and skidders away. I take a good look at where the thing had bitten me. But there's nothing there!?

Tuesday morning: School couldn't have been worse

I open the steel doors of the Hemmens Town Academy. I could smell the chalk dust and fresh cream bagels. As I walk to my classroom I hear giggling behind me. I crossed my crutches and turn around. With crutches there are advantages. Well, guess who it was. If your answer is Jimmy McWest you're right.

“Well, well, well, what do we have here.” Jimmy began.

“Looks like a little weakling to me,” one of the members of his gang said.

“Want to take him on, Jimmy?” asked another.

“You know I do,” Jimmy replied.

See what I mean? Jimmy is a big jerk. He is stronger than I am, first of all. Well I'm not going to give out without a fight. At that moment he dives for my left foot. I quickly scoot to the other side and give him a kick in the face with my casted up right foot. He swiftly jumps back. “YEEEOOOCCHHH!!”He cries. he comes right at me with a fist. I can tell he's aiming at my face. I block it with my right arm. Then all the sudden I give him a thrust to the ceiling. I jump back in shock. I take one good look at my arm.

“What the heck?” I say. At that second a teacher turns up. She gives me a cold look. A solid look. A scared look and I don't blame her. I just gave Jimmy a karate chop in the gut and next things next he's on the ceiling. How crazy is that? “What happened?” she said with a stern look on her face. “Well” I “say it's a long story”. But to keep a long story short. I haven't the foggiest idea of what just happened. At that moment the bell rings. I've never been so happy to hear that bell.

I walk myself up the hallway to room 129. As I enter the classroom I see my best bud Jacob. “Chris my man how you doing?” came a familiar voice from behind me. I slowly turn around. “Man you're red what happened?” When I reach the end of my slow Circle I see Nick. “Oh I'll tell you during recess”, I answer. But to be truthful I'm not going to tell him at all he gets too creeped out by stuff like fighting or blood or anything that's violent. Just then, Lydia the girl I have a crush on, not a real crush but I just like her.(and PS to anyone that's reading this don't tell her or anybody that I like like her). I like her to the end of her blue tie dye shoes to the end of her long, curly, silky blonde hair. Today she's wearing short jeans and a beautiful shirt with the color patterns of green, red, blue, purple, and pink. She gives me a short smile then heads for her desk in the far left corner of the room. I give a long sigh and just gess what happened next. Nick waves a swift hand 1 inch from my face across my face. “Hey” I say, “what was that for?” I give him a little thwack in the head.

“Settle down, class.” I heard Miss Moxx say. “I assume you've handed in your homework.” That reminds me. I go out to my backpack and grab my multiplication sheet.

I hand in my multiplication sheet in to a box about 3 ft long and 3 ft across. Okay don't ask me why it's that big cuz I have no clue. “Okay class clear your desks, Sharpen your pencils. It’s time for a test”, Miss Moxx said. I roll my eyes oh great another test. I forgot all about it. Well, I'm still going to get an A+. I'm the best in my school at multiplication or at least the people in my grade. I've never gotten a correction in my book or the teacher having to remind me what's 7 times 8 ( PS it's 56.) “Today,”Miss Moxx continued, “we're doing the pre test for our newest module in division so open your books to page 51,” she said. Wait we're doing a division test. “NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO”, I moan. Even though I'm the best at multiplication I absolutely stink at division. She gives me a cheery smile. Yeah well thanks, I'll give her a icy stare if she keeps it up. Nick snickers next to me and I give him an elbow in the stomach. He deserves that. Well this isn't the best day but I'm ready for whatever the day is going to throw at me.

Tuesday recess: I can't explain

It's recess and I'm trying to avoid Nick cuz you know I said I would tell him but I lied. Hey look, Jimmy McWest bullying Jacob. But he's not going to get away with it. I run to the other side of the playground but I'm not actually running. My feet are going 100 miles an hour. Don't ask me why cuz I’ve got no idea but then I realized it's my big chance. He sees me but it's too late. I already banged into him. Oh wait make that twice. This could become a new sport. Oh, here comes his gang. I've been waiting for these guys cuz I decided it would be fun to go bowling. As I cut right through the middle of them I knock over almost all of them except the strongest one. Colder is still standing. He tracks me.

I circle him and circle him and circle him but I decide it's time for me to strike. As I strike he bends backwards dodging everything but here's my chance. I go back around and hit him slap on the back. Wow, I've never felt so alive. This game is awesome! The gang is getting up again but I shove them back down. This game could become really fun. Then I remember that cube. Had the cube given me these powers? I wonder what else I can do? But the teachers are coming. Man, I wish I was invisible but wait I am. I quickly jog over to one side of the playground and wait as a teacher helps them up. One of teachers looked around. She doesn't see me. He, He, He, Lucky me.

5 Weeks later: bad timing

I got my cast taken off yesterday but it snowed today. Talk about bad timing. Now you thinking why is snow bad, well as soon as Jimmy Mcwest heard that I got my cast taken off we got in a huge snowball fight But with my super strong and speedy arm

tossing here and there, I won the battle.

I went sledding today with Mom. The snow was perfect. You know, when there's a the powdered snow under nice a nice crisp icy layer and when some of the snow escapes from that crisp layer it looks like there little white mice running along the surface but enough with the beauty talk. I ran Jimmy McWest. He walked right up to me until we were face to face. “I challenge you to a snowball war.”He declared. He stuck out a hand. “What time?”

I ask. “At 9:00pm tomorrow,”he replied. I wonder why he's being so nice right but hey, like I said in the beginning, I love a good fight.
