Chapter 3: You Okay?
Jimmy and April walk together in the classroom. The one-minute bell rings, signaling that you had better get your ass to class or you're going to be late. There was no seating chart that you had to follow, so Jimmy and April sat together. The teacher, Mr. Hozo, notice this, although he didn't comment on this. A minute later, class began.
"Okay class, pass up your homework from yesterday." said Mr. Hozo.
The class did as they were told. A few minutes later, after collecting the homework, Mr. Hozo spoke again.
"Okay class, as you all know, tomorrow is the big test, worth 85 of your grade. Now, I want you to pick a study partner and, after I pass out the review sheet, study with them. If you have any questions, let me know." said Mr. Hozo, who began passing out the papers.
Jimmy, who hasn't spoken a word since the hallway incident asked April, "Do you think we can study together?"
"Of course!" said April.
A smile spread across Jimmy's face. The same smile was duplicated by April. Suddenly, Jimmy passed out and entered a dream world. The last thing he heard was April calling for help.
In the dream world, he was at an abandoned school. He looks around, and he discovered that it was his school.
What the heck? A few minutes ago there were hundreds of people, now the school looks abandoned.
Jimmy looks around. He walks towards his classroom. As Jimmy walks to his class a sudden blast of fetid air hits him smack in the face, he looks up to the ceiling and spots an unlikely image of an evil blond wench snarling and spitting green mucus towards him, Jimmy screams and runs right into April crying and pointing like a scared toddler. When he looks again, just empty ceiling. Jimmy walks away more embarrassed then he's ever been in his life. He hears a ringing and a whispering. That was when Jimmy woke up.
Jimmy slowly opens his eyes and looks around. He is at school, and now it was filled with hundreds of people. Jimmy now has a raging headache. He looks up to see April, who looks scared and concerned.
"What happened?" said a groggy Jimmy.
April gave Jimmy a hug and said, "I was so worried. You passed out, and nearly gave me a heart attack. Don't ever do that again."
Jimmy pats her back. "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
April, who had been crying on Jimmy's shoulders, stops crying. "I sure hope so; otherwise I wouldn't be able to do this."
April gives Jimmy a kiss on the lips. Jimmy, who was taken back for a moment, deepens the kiss. After the kiss, the dismissal bell rang. Luckily, it was a ½ day, and the classes were shorter.
"Have a good day, and remember your test tomorrow!" said Mr. Hozo.
"Hey Jimmy, don't forget our date later." said April, who left the classroom.
"Don't worry, I won't." said Jimmy.
Jimmy left the classroom and walked home, which was exhausting considering that it was 2 miles from school to his house. He decided to walk instead of car-pooling or taking the bus because he needed to clear his head and, besides, he needed the exercise.
Man, why does my head hurt? Why did I pass out during class? How did I pass out during class, and what was with that crazy dream I had? Oh well, some questions just don't have answers. Anyways, despite it being the anniversary of the 'successful Yolkian invasion' , and the anniversary of the death of my parents and Goddard, this day hasn't turned out so bad. I have a date today, and a date for homecoming, and, once I get home, I'm going to build Goddard 2.0. But first, I'm getting some food.
With those thoughts in mind, Jimmy headed off to his 2nd favorite place to eat, beaten out only by the Candy Bar, Taco Bell.
Somewhere close-by, someone was saying "Soon! Soon, I will have my revenge! Soon, Jimmy will be broken and beaten. Soon, I will rule!"
