Chapter 1: The News

Jack's POV

Mondays. Hate them. I know it's the first day of the week which means school. It also means seeing Kim. We've been spending more time with each other every since the Ricky Weaver incident. I walk up to my locker only to see Kim, Jerry, Milton, and Eddie standing there.

"Hey, Jack", said Kim.

"Hey. What are you guys doing at my locker?" I replied.

"Well…." Milton stuttered.

He was interrupted by the principal.

"Jack Anderson!"

"Yeah"

"I hear from your math teacher that you are failing."

"What?"

"Yeah, and according to the student handbook any student failing math must quit any after school activity."

"What are you saying?" I was getting worried.

"You have to quit karate."

"What?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"Wait. What. You can't do that." Kim was stepping in.

"I think I can."

"But this doesn't make sense. I've passed all of my test." I was getting very mad.

"I am sorry but it's out of my hands unless you pass this last test not only will you have to quit karate for good, but you have to repeat 9th grade. I'm sorry." He walked off.

"Wait. What's going on? I'm confused." That's Jerry for you.

I slid down the wall and put my face in my hands. This was a huge disaster. Then Sindi came running down the hall. Sindi's our manager. She organizes competition dates and uploads videos of our wins and routines on the Bobby Wasabi website.

"I have big news. What's wrong? You look so sad, just like the time when Jack almost got kicked out of the dojo."

I looked up and then back down.

"Oh no, Jack got kicked out the dojo. What happened?"

"The principal claims Jack is failing math, so now he has to quit karate." Kim explained.

"This is bad, this is bad!" I was wondering what she was talking about.

"Why?" Eddie was wondering the same.

"That was what I was going to tell. Thanks to Jack's constant wins," everyone looked at me and I just looked down, "You guys automatically go to a competition in Japan."

"What is the big deal?" Milton was confused, so was I.

"Well apparently, there is a freestyle routine competition and they nominated Jack."

"Well this just keeps getting better." I said.

"Wait I don't get is why are you failing, you passed every test this semester." I always showed Sindi my grades all the time.

"I tried to tell him that, but he wouldn't listen."

"Hey", I saw Sindi had any idea.

"What is it?" Kim was confused. She looked so cute. Wait…. Did I say Kim looked cute?

"There is a website where we can check what the teacher put in the system. All we have to do is look at a copy of your last report and compare it to the copy on the website. Let me see it,Jack."

I handed it to her. She got on her iPad to get on the website.

"OK. Anderson, Jack… OMG!"

"What?" I was worried.

"According to this site you don't have a 96, you have a 51! Someone broke into the system and changed your grades!"

"What! Let me see!" I couldn't believe my eyes.

"Who would do that?" That was the question we were all thinking
