Whoa, whoa, whoa, go back a bit….
They tell me I'm the kid of some seriously ancient Greek tiataness sort of person. I'm Derek, I'm a NORMAL teenage boy with a few disorders, or at least I thought I was…
I'm a what!?
My name is Derek and I'm just a normal 13 year old, with dyslexia and ADHD. I know, fun right? Wrong. I'm stuck with some dude who adopted me when I was like six, and we now live in New York City. I have midnight black hair with dark brown, nearly black, eyes, and I'm a little bit of a drepresso, if you ask my best friend Julie. She's this hyperactive kid with longish brown hair, and amber eyes. I swear that girl could look at anyone on the street and know what his or her current or future problems are or will be.
It's the last day of school and everyone is all super excited about it, even me. Only because to me, it means getting away from "Brick" the school bully. His real name is Benjamin, but once some guy dared him into throwing a brick at a wall, and when he did so, it shattered.
And to make the last day of school even better, I have gym last period, and computer applications first. Then in between are science and U.S. History with the craziest teacher ever.
I'm mean sheesh, she's all "Kids have touched my desk before and do you know what happened next? They were never found again, I mean they had their faces all over milk cartons and everything!" She'll also scream in the middle of class if she's bombarded by a ton of stuff. But then again, she's pretty freakin' fun.
My science teacher makes you pay with "Wildcats" for everything. Even extra paper if you're typing out a project for one of your teachers. It gets annoying after a little , but today's lab will be making chemicals explode. BOOM!!
Today's computer applications class will be messing with other people's pictures on Photoshop. No incidents today like my computer completely dying on me. Man, luck must be on my side today! Usually my computer blacks out or totally dies on me.
Science was fun because Julie and me were the first to explode our beaker completely. That was the only incident to occur today, though usually it suddenly gets dark in the classroom and everybody can't see except for me. It's kinda weird like, I have the vision of a street cat or something.
Afterwards in U.S. History, absolutely nothing happened except for a party.
Gym was the weirdest of all. Remember Brick? He had some pals in gym with him that were from his "clique." I could never manage to look past their ugly teeth. Man, did they need an orthodontist. And today we got to play flag football out in the soccer field. I got stuck with the geeks again and ended up being pummeled. At the end of the day, the weirdest thing happened. I was attacked with these flying pieces of earth.
As it turns out, Bricks friends threw them. Brick turned and said, "Dude! Your strong man!!" and he flew forty feet because he was hit in the gut with a piece of the field. I turned and ran like a bat out of heck. I ended up running into this boy with sea green eyes and jet-black hair, who had stopped me and asked, "Whoa, what's the matter?" We both turned and saw Brick's friends running towards us. It felt like an earthquake was hitting or something 'cause the ground started to shake as they got closer. The kid shoved me behind him and pulled out a bronze color pen.
"What is it time for art class or something?!" I asked.
The black-haired boy uncapped the pen and suddenly a glowing 3-foot bronze sword came out.
The giant-teenage-like guys were at us and the boy with the sword jumped and tried to attack the first of the three, but was swatted aside and flew through the air and landed with a loud thump and skidded a few feet. Then the giants were after me.
