October 1st
James Neutron. The substitute for Ms. Ryan's class called role. Here. A small squeak came from the front of the room. James Isaac Neutron was short at eight years old he was as tall as someone two years younger. Now Neutron had brains. In fact he had the brains of a sixty year old genius. Those two facts alone made James a target for bulling not only that he dressed different from other kids. He dressed in a sweater vest and pressed pants his hair was neatly combed. So far the young prodigy it was hard making friends. He had one friend Derek he was the bad boy of the middle school. James could not believe they were friends sometimes. The source of their friendship was that they were neighbours.
They were in their third grade class. Ms. Ryan had taken a sick day so they got Mr. Fred. Mr. Fred put down role call and sat in the chair pointing to the black board and said finish these questions by the end of the day. James got to work with a sigh with his intelligence he already graduated university but his parents thought he needed to socialize with people his age so he as stuck slowly growing up with his peers his parents said he might even want to do college or university with his friends. And worse yet he lived in an apartment so he could not really explore with his inventions especially not in Cityville. When James was done he dreamed he had space to do his experiments, he had great nice friends, was not bullied and had a dog. The dog was the biggest thing. James really wanted a dog, but his mom was allergic so no dog his dad said they could get a duck, but James really wanted a dog. He read that studies should all dogs are incredible loyal. Then there was the daydream that was impossible it was of someone academically challenging him since he was smarter than anyone in the world.
Later...
...but honey. Hugh Neutron said to his wife. Why can we not get a duck? I have good initial I will be promoted. No Judy Neutron said to her husband. Ducks cause a mess no ducks that are alive. Footsteps alerted that someone was at the door. The door opened to see James and Derek home from school. Mom, Dad we will be in my room. James said going to his room. Judy sighed and looked at her husband. It is too bad James cannot run around in this city.
