If you're like me and you've found my journal, stop now. If you're ok with what happens, read on.
'Sup, My name is Jack Steele. I'm 14 and used to attend Trace Academy, a school for "troubled" kids like me. I've never done anything wrong, I'm just always in the wrong place at the wrong time. I know, my name sounds like an action hero name. But believe me, I'm no hero. I'm just some scrawny kid from Brooklyn living in a foster home. Or at least, I was. That was before the ghost horse and demon math teacher. But I'll just start at the beginning.
I never knew my dad. Before the car crash that killed her my mother used to say he was this huge, famous environmentalist. She refused to tell me his name though. Thing is, her car crash wasn't with another car. It was with a pillar of stone that just appeared out of nowhere. The forensics guys at the lab have no idea how it happened. That just makes me even angrier.
So now, I'm stuck in a crappy foster home where everybody hates me. My only friend is another foster kid named Sage. He's probably the oldest kid there, because he has the starting of a wispy goatee. I've never asked his age, but I don't know why.
This day was like any other. It started with me being kicked in the stomach by my foster sibling Lucas. He's a big kid with scars and pitch-black hair in a military buzz cut. I don't know why he hates me so much he just does. I got up, got punched, and started my day.
On the bus Lucas kept throwing apples and pears at my head, yelling insults like "Tree hugger" and "Nature Boy". I just ignored him and looked out the window watching the terrain zip by.
In Math, my teacher, Ms. Lyndon, was battering me with questions that we hadn't even learned how to solve yet. "Mr. Steele, can you see me in the hallway please?" It may have been a question but I had no choice in the answer. I walked to the door with everyone looking at me, Sage Looking like he was going to be sick. I had a feeling I would never be back here again.
