Supreme: I'm here with chapter 2 of this story which might take a while to finish
Jaden: and I'm here to take Zane's place
Supreme: where's Zane?
Jaden: he was mad that you won't stick to one story at a time
Supreme: I'm offended!
Jaden: you should be!
Supreme: so offended that… that… that I'm going to write and post this chapter to rub it in his face that I won't stick to one story!
Jaden: I'm going to help you! This awkward and strange person does not or will ever own me or my show!
Supreme: what is that supposed to mean!
Jaden: nothing!

"Mom!" Jaden yelled, walking down the stairs.
"Yes?" Jaden's mom Janice called.
"Am I staying at your house for the rest of this week and next week, or am I going to Dad's house next week?" Jaden grabbed a piece of toast and shoved it in his mouth.
"You're going to Dad's house next week, and you're staying here for the rest of this week." Janice cleaned crumbs off of her son's face.
"Okay, thanks, Mom!" Jaden said, shoving the rest of the toast down his throat.
"Will you use some manners, please?" Janice said, laughing. Jaden smiled and ran to the coach, grabbing his bag in the process. "Wait, where's your tie?"
"Oh, that's right!" Jaden ran upstairs and back down. He stopped in front of Janice and stared at her. Janice smiled and held up a tie. "Thanks, Mom." He tied his black tie around the collar of his red button-down shirt. He ran to the door.
"Jaden, you might need some shoes," Janice said, sighing. Jaden looked at his feet.
"Oh, yeah…" he mumbled. He walked to the closet and was about to pull out his converse.
"Jaden… come out of the closet." Jaden stared at her and narrowed his eyes.
"No. I like being in the closet." He walked in the closet and slipped on his shoes. He walked out and to the door. "Bye, Mom, I love you!"
"I love you, too. Have a good day at school!"
"Don't tell me what to do!" Jaden said, fake crying. He over-dramatically opened the door and ran out.
"I gave birth to him…? Oh, well… I love him anyway!" Janice smiled and walked to the kitchen to eat breakfast and get ready for work. She finished and slipped on her shoes. "It's time for me to go to my regular, every day job!" Janice sighed and grabbed her purse. "I don't wanna go to work…" She walked out the door and started her car. She drove to her work building and parked her car. She locked it and walked inside.
"Hey, Janice!" one of her co-workers said happily.
"Hey, Adrianna," Janice said tiredly.
"You seem tired… like every day."
"I'm still upset over the fact that Jared and I divorced three years ago."
"It's not your fault. He's just not the one for you."
"I guess. It's was fun while it lasted." Adrianna smiled.
"That's the spirit! Anyway, there's a new guy here! He could be your new hubby!"
"Oh, please, Adrianna… There probably isn't even a new guy here." Adrianna smiled and walked away. "I'll see you at lunch break!" Adrianna nodded and went to work. Janice sighed and went to the elevator. Once it stopped on her floor, she walked to her office. 'I hope Jaden's okay at school. Did I feed Kuriboh and walk Wolfgang?' she thought. She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice someone walking right toward her, who wasn't paying attention either. They ran right into each other, knocking the other's papers out of their hands.
"Sorry!" they both said, bending down to pick up the papers.
"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention!" the other said.
"I wasn't either, so you're not at fault," Janice said, smiling. They looked up and locked gazes. Janice was the first to break the gaze. "I-I'm sorry."
"Yeah—I mean, no, it is totally okay!" the other said, blushing slightly.
"I haven't seen you around here before. Do you have an appointment? I can find who you need to meet."
"N-no, it's okay. I work here!"
"You do?" The other nodded.
"I'm new that's why you probably didn't know me."
"Well, nice to meet you; I'm Janice, by the way."
"Nice to meet you, Janice; my name is Zander." They shook hands. "C-can I take you out to dinner?"
"We just met, and you're already asking me out?"
"No! I mean—I just wanted to apologize for knocking your things down!" Zander said, still blushing.
"I get it. I dunno…" Janice said, smiling. Zander pulled out a notepad and pen.
"I'm gonna write down my number. You call me when you make up your mind. I'm taking you out to dinner no matter what, so you might as well call me when you decide to set up a date," Zander said.
"A date?" Janie asked teasingly.
"I mean like a—"
"I got it, Zander." Zander smiled and gathered his things from the floor.
"I guess I'll see you around."
"I guess you will." They smiled and went their separate ways.
~Later~
"How was school?" Janice asked Jaden as he got home. Jaden sighed and set his backpack on the couch. He walked up his mom and hugged her.
"School always sucks… what difference is there today?" he asked. Janice rolled her eyes.
"Go sit at the table and eat dinner." Jaden smiled and sat at the table.
"Why do we eat dinner so early?" Janice walked to the table and too his dinner away. "Hey, what are ya doing!"
"You apparently want dinner later."
"No, give me my food! Jaden Hungarian!" Jaden yelled.
"Hungarian?" Janice questioned. Jaden nodded. Janice shook her head and put the food back down.
"How was work?"
"Apparently, I have a date with the new guy at work."
"Ooh, Mommy has a date! Who's the new guy?"
"His name is Zander."
"What's his last name?"
"… I don't know…"
"… Well, then…"
~Meanwhile~
"You did what?" Zane asked his father as he messed with a piece of string in his hand.
"I asked out someone from work," Zander repeated. "What's the big deal?"
"Who is this person?"
"Her name is Janice."
"What's her last name?"
"… I don't know…"
"Well, that's just dandy! She could be the mother of one of the idiots that go to my school!"
"Zane, it is one date! It's not like it'll completely dictate the direction of my life!"
"What if it does?" Zane screamed. "I didn't like the divorce, and I don't want a second one!" Zander walked up to him and put a hand on his shoulder.
"There won't be a second divorce. I promise the next girl I marry will be my forever wife." Zane sighed.
"If you can find someone to marry," he said.
"Why are you so… so… cruel to me?"
"I dunno…"
"Go do your homework."
"Okay," Zane said, smiling and swaying side-to-side in the computer chair.
"Go do your homework," Zander said.
"I did already."
"Do you want dinner?"
"Finally!" Zane screamed, standing up. "I thought you'd never ask!" He ran downstairs.
"He seems less… rebellious today… maybe he wants a new mom…" Zander whispered to himself. He walked downstairs.
"Dad, hurry up!" Zander groaned.
