It was already 4:30 and my mom asked what we wanted for dinner. "Can we go out for Chinese?" Alex asked."Sure lets go." Dad said. We went to China Fun Restaurant. "This is nice isn't it Micheal?" mom asked. "Yes." my dad said randomly laughing. "What will you order?" the waitor asked us. "I'll have that." Alex said pointing to something he couldn't pronouce. "I'll have orange chicken." I said. The chef made the food right in front of us and gave it to us. Alex started digging in like it was his last meal. "Slow down, it's not going anywhere." I said. "Alex laughed and nearly started choking on his food. Alex and I finished our food but our parents were still eating. Eventually they finished and we all went home. "Nat go get ready for school tomorrow." My mom said. "What do you mean get ready?" I asked. "Get your clothes ready and stuff." My mom said. "Mom, I'm not a girl I can do that in like five minutes in the morning." i said. "Okay, okay why don't you go outside then?" she said. So I went outside but no one was out. I went down stairs and knocked on David's door. "Hey Nat whats up?" he asked. "Not much, want to come out?" I asked. "Yeah." We went outside and ate ice pops. "I'm getting a new lap top." David said. "Finally, are you getting an Apple (c)?" "Yeah, hey what color is my tongue?" David asked. "Purple, what color is mine?" I asked sticking my tongue out. "Haha, its blue." "I have to get inside." David said. "Okay, see you later man." I said. I went inside and layed down in my room. I put on my "Beatles" CD and fell asleep. When I woke up the Next morning the CD was still on and it was on "Revolution" which was probably the reason I woke up before my alarm clock did.

It was only 5:30. I took a shower and got dressed then went downstairs to have some cereal. It was normally really quiet in the morning. Alex was still sleeping he normally woke up at about 6:30. So did my parents. There was nothing really to do after I ate breakfast and I hated being bored so I went outside. Mr. Parcelli was a newspaper vendor on the corner of my street. He paid me three bucks every day to deliver the New York Times to everyone one my block. "Hey Mr. Parcelli" I said walking up to the news stand. "Hey youngster you're here early today." he said. "Just by ten minutes." I said grabbing a pile of news papers and putting them in my news paper bag. "For being early I'll give ya' five dollars today." Mr. Parcelli said. "Thanks Mr. Parcelli." I said walking off. I tossed a newspaper on every door step. At the last doorstep I got chased by a big black dog all the way back to the news stand. "Shoo!" Mr. P yelled. "Getting chased by the dog again?" Mr. Parcelli asked. "Yeah, oh no that reminds me I have to walk and feed E.T.!" I yelled taking the five dollars from Mr. Parcelli and running home. I got home and it was 6:45. My mom was outside walking E.T. "Mom! I'm so sorry it won't happen again." I said. She handed me the leash and said "I sure hope not." I finished walking E.T and went inside. "Have fun at school boys." My dad said to Alex and I as we put on our backpacks. "Pshh yeah." Alex said.

We went outside and cought up with our friend Qaasim who was already on his way to school. "We're studying dust particles in Lab today." Qaasim said."Oh great we have a lab today?" I asked worridly. "Yeah we have it it all week, I'll be your partner if you want." Qaasim said. "Thank you so much Qaasim." I said patting him on the back. "You have it easy Alex." I said. "What do you mean I have it easy?" Alex asked. "You have multiplication for math and gepgraphy for social studies, it couldn't be any easier." I said. "Oh yeah, then whats 12 x 11?" "Thats easy its 132." I said. "I'll see you guys after school." Alex said as he went into the Elementary School part of the school. Qaasim and I went into our homeroom class which was Science class. "Why couldn't I be sick today?" I asked myself. "Alright class today we have a new student her name is Zoey." Mr. Mardulier said. "Say hi to Zoey everyone." "Hi Zoey." we all said. Zoey quietly said hi and waved to everyone. She just stood there looking scared. zoey had long orange-ish brown-ish hair. "You can have a seat over there next to Qaasim." mr. M said. Qaasim was sitting next to me on my left and my crush Angelina was sitting next to me on my right. "Hey Angelina." I said acting cool. "Do I know you?" She asked. "Um well we have World History together." I said getting nervouse. "Oh, well hi, I guess." She said then turned away from me. Qaasim and I paired up to look at dust particles through a microscope. Oh great! "I'll look through the microscope and you write down the notes." Qaasim said. "okay." I said with boredom. "Write down seperated particles." Qaasim said. I wrote it down and a bunch of other things which I had no idea what they meant. Finally Science was over and we had to go to Spanish class. I loved Spanish it came so easy to me. "Hola tengo clase assesments su espalda y le hizo todos los maravillosos" The teacher said. Our teacher Ms. Camilia gave us our tests back I got a 95 which means I only got one wrong. After spanish class we went to World History class. Angelina was in this class too, and so was Qaasim and so was Zoey. I sat next to Codey as usual. "Did you talk to Angelina?" Codey whispered. 'I tried, but I don't think she's interested." I whispered back. "Nonsense she's just shy." he whispered. We finished the class and went to lunch. I sat next to Qaasim and David. "Hey Zoey!" Qaasim called. Zoey came and sat next to Qaasim. Codey came up to me and said "Sorry about the news dude." "What news?" I asked. "Angelina and A.J. are going out." Codey said. "What since when?" "Well Kelly told Lisa who told Karlie who told Tyler who told Jake who told Katie who told Jayme who told Erin who told Alyssa who told Nathan who told me that they hooked up today in their Remedial Math class." I just looked at my lunch tray.
