Tucker opened his eyes on a Thursday morning. He yawned and stretched before getting up. He looked into his mirror, hanging by the door. Tucker stared at himself in his purple pajamas. He looked down and stared at the pictures of computers on the purple cloth. The teenager picked it up and looked at it. He finally smiled and headed to the bathroom to brush his teeth.
When Tucker entered the bathroom, he noticed he had grown a couple of inches. He grinned at himself and put his red hat on his head, not bothering to brush his hair. Tucker felt like a new man for some reason. He decided he would actually try to ask Paulina out today. She had rejected him before he could even ask before.
Tucker entered his closet. All he saw was about 7 pairs of his normal yellow t-shirt and a couple of pairs of his same old pants. He sighed and looked at what else he had. He browsed the rack until he came across an old sweatshirt and regular jeans. The teenager thought he had seen some famous guy wearing them, so he decided to try them.
Tucker examined himself in the mirror after putting on his new outfit. His eyes widened. He thought he looked exactly like the famous guy, well without the glasses. Smiling, he hurried downstairs.
Tucker's mother waited at the bottom of the stairs holding a waffle and a glass of water. Tucker drank the water and ate the waffle quickly. He ran to the front door and waved goodbye to his mom.
"Bye Mom!" he called, before hurrying outside. Tucker decided not to take the school bus and run the rest of the way to school.
He made it in 10 minutes flat. He was breathing hard and remembered he had to meet Danny and Sam in front of his locker. Tucker began walking towards his locker.
Danny and Sam had been in a conversation about Mr.Lancer and his back problems when they saw Tucker. They gasped together. Tucker looked… cool. They mouths dropped a couple of inches when he came to over to them.
"Hi guys," he said, in a high voice.
"How… and what … did you do?" they stammered together.
Tucker grinned and hugged them both before heading towards Paulia. He thought he had saw her talking with Star somewhere near the cafeteria.
He spotted Paulina by herself. He grinned and approached her. Her eyes widened when she saw who it was.
"Tucker?" she said, gasping.
He nodded and said in a quick voice,"Wouldyouliketogoseeamoviesometime?" He took a deep breath and bit down on his lip.
Danny and Sam were watching him attempt to ask Paulina out. To their amazement, Paulina nodded her head.
"Sure," she said, smiling. She walked arm in arm with Tucker into their first class.
"What the?" was all they said.
And this was Tucker's lucky day.
