Chapter 1- A Fresh Beginning
I woke up Monday morning to the beeping of my alarm. As I do everyday. I go downstairs as tired as I could be, and slowly started cooking my own breakfast. (I took a summer cooking class.) As i was just about to put it down, and eat, my mom yelled,
"JACK! Look at the damn time!"
So i did, 7:55! It was 5 minutes from school? What the heck? So I hurriedly rushed outside into the bright spring air. Today was my first day of high school at West Temptation High. Luckily, I lived merely 2 blocks away. We moved here to Orange County during the summer, and we were just about to pick the house the old Crawford house. Even the name makes my skin crawl. Then, I sparked up (which is not something I normally do). I mentioned to my mom a newer, affordable house only two blocks away from my new school. So, here I am. Oh, I must have forgotten to introduce myself. My name is Jack Baker. Age 14, blonde-ish hair and music lover extraordinaire! I play guitar like no one else can, and I listen to classic rock and roll. Believe me, the new scream-o stuff just makes me shiver. I HATE IT!
I got to school about 6 minutes late. I missed schedule pick-up, so I had to go to the student center to pick one up.
"Jack Baker, Freshman" I said.
"Okay," the woman said with a voice that sounded like the wicked witch, "here is your new schedule, NOW DON'T BE LATE AGAIN!" This day was not going very well so far. I snatched my schedule, and looked at my classes:
Period 1- Home Economics with Mr. Bernard
Period 2- Biology with Mrs. Crawford
Period 3- Study Hall
Period 4- English with Mrs. Miller
Period 5- World Studies with Mr. Loom
Period 6- Music with Mrs. Spark
Period 7- Spanish with Sra. Turner
Period 8- Phys Ed with Dr. Cook
"Oh god!" I said as I ran up to first period.
