Normal Life

"Eoin, can you tell the class what the square root of 2 is?" my teacher asked me for the second time.

"The square root of 2 is exactly 1.41421356." I replied angrily but not showing it.

"Thank you, Eoin and you are correct. You get 5 extra credit points with your test." The teacher told me.

It was lunch before I knew it and I sat down by my best friend, Elizabeth and my cousin, Makenzie. The lunch we had that day was: milk, hamburgers, apples, hash-browns, and peaches, I only liked the hamburgers, hash-browns, and the milk, but I had to eat everything anyway while hearing the other table saying, "Thousands of children would die for this food! So why must we eat all of it? If the school really doesn't want it, why not donate it to the starving children and save their lives!" While the other table kept telling them, "Because they don't go to school here, the teachers don't care about them if they don't go to school here." Though most of the school was on the other table's side. After a couple minutes Makinzie took my hash brown and shoved it in her face then also ripped my bun in half stuffing half in her face.

While I was walking home from school I heard a noise in some bushes. I went to go see if it was a rabbit and if I could catch it! I was wrong though, it was just a homeless beagle, it wasn't a total bring down though, I got to keep the dog when I brought it home and asked my parents.

The next day I went to the depot to try to find some seeds to buy and then to sell for triple the price to farmers, because seeds are so cheap there. Since today was a weekend I went out fishing and I caught 5 walleyes, 3 trout, and 7 blue gill after I got my third walleye I tried to fish with my hands like a bear, the water was cold as frost bite but, I still tried to though I failed and went back to fishing they way regular people do, with a fishing pole but, by the time I thought I saw a cat swimming by my boat, which was in the middle of a lake, then I thought that I should go home for a bit.
