Chapter 1

"It was November 17, 2000-Something. C.B. had become my best friend since I started teaching at William Penn. He was so much fun to see movies with. After school that day, we were set to see 'Star Trek: Nemesis'."

C.B. walked into Jeff's classroom after school.

"Hey, Jeff," C.B. said.

"You ready to go see Star Trek: Nemesis?" Jeff asked.

"Sorry, Bro," C.B. said. "I'm going to have to take a rain check. I have to babysit my cousin's kids."

"Aw man," Jeff said. "I was looking so forward to it."

"We can go see it tomorrow," C.B. said.

"Okay," Jeff said.

"Sorry, man," C.B. said.

C.B. walked off.

"I didn't want to see it the next day. I wanted to see it that day. I was just going to have to secretly see it without him."

Jeff walked down the hallway of William Penn. Coach Mellor walked over to him.

"Hi, Jeff," Coach Mellor said.

"Hi, Rick," Jeff said. "What's up?"

"I'm going to see Star Trek: Nemesis," Coach Mellor replied.

"Me too," Jeff said.

"Hey," Coach Mellor said. "Let's go together."

Later, C.B. walked down a sidewalk outside a movie theater. He dialed Jeff's number on his cellphone.

"Jeff," C.B. said. "It's me. My cousin cancelled her plans, so let's catch a later showing of the movie.

C.B. looked to see Jeff and Coach Mellor walking out of the movie theater.

"Never mind," C.B. said. "You're here."

C.B. turned off his phone and walked over to Jeff and Coach Mellor.

"Hey, guys," C.B. said.

"Hey," Jeff said.

"What movie did you see?" C.B. asked.

"Star Trek: Nemesis," Coach Mellor replied.

"Jeff," C.B. said. "We were supposed to see it."

"Don't worry," Jeff said. "We can totally see it again. I promise no spoilers."

"That's fine," C.B. said in a disappointed tone. "I'll just go see it now and we can talk about it tomorrow."

"Okay," Jeff said. "See you later."

Coach Mellor and Jeff walked off and continued talking about the movie.
