Chapter 1: Family Tree
Winter break (Term break) was over and it was the first day back in school. Anubis house are all in history class right now. At this moment, Mr. Winkler was blabbing his mouth about heritage and culture. As always, Jerome Clark and Alfie Lewis were doodling. Let's see how they are doing…
Jerome was sketching, in his math notebook, a picture of a weird looking alien. While Alfie was sketching, in his science notebook, a picture of a chocolate sundae. Jerome put his pencil down and smiled at the picture. Then Jerome lifted the notebook up and showed Alfie the picture. Alfie gasped and screamed. Since Jerome and Alfie were in the back, everyone had to turn around. When they turned around, they saw Jerome laughing and Alfie under the table.
"What is going on?" Mr. Winkler asked the two boys. Jerome kept on laughing and Alfie got up under the table. Alfie picked the science notebook up and started to whack Jerome with it. Jerome kept on laughing. Mr. Winkler rolled his eyes while everyone laughed at Alfie and Jerome. "ALFIE! JEROME! STOP!" Mr. Winkler demanded, more like yelled. Jerome stopped laughing and Alfie sat down. "Now, what's going on?" Mr. Winkler asked.
"Jerome scared me!" Alfie said in a baby voice pointing at Jerome. Jerome picked the alien picture up and showed it to the class. Everyone started to laugh, even Mr. Winkler! Alfie looked around the room and rolled his eyes.
"Anyway, Jerome? Alfie? So you know what I was just saying?" Mr. Winkler asked them. They both hesitated. Jerome and Alfie didn't know what was going on. Mr. Winkler saw their confusion and told them. "We are learning about family trees. And you have a project due next week Thursday about your family tree."
"How do we find our family tree?" Jerome asked Mr. Winkler.
"You will have to go on Heritage/family .org." Mr. Winkler told them. They both nodded. The school bell rang and they all walked out of the classroom. At Anubis house, everyone was occupied. Patricia was helping Trudy with the laundry, Amber was reading 'Tiger Beat', Mick went out for a run, Mara was watching 'The Secret Circle', Nina and Fabian were playing video games, and Jerome and Alfie were in their room.
"I can't wait to find out about my family tree! Maybe one of my ancestors were alien hunters!" Alfie exclaimed. Jerome rolled his eyes at that comment. Alfie looked at Jerome and he seemed upset. "What's wrong?"
