Chapter 3
Ugh I woke up this morning feeling like crap I guess my dad must of put me to bed, I'll have thank him later, well time to get up and get some breakfast god I'm starving… As I was walking downstairs I heard some familiar voices talking I know that two of them were my parents but who is the third person? When I walked into the room only to have the shock of my life… MAX what are you doing here? Hey J-swift… don't call me that you lost the right to call me that the day you walked out of this house, okay then Jersey I just came by because mom called me to come pick you up…. Wait what mom what is he talking about… Jersey dear your father and I think it's best if you spend a few weeks with your brother and his fiancé, no way no way in hell am I going to spend a few weeks with him in case you don't remember Max missed my graduation, my cheer off, my MMA contest, and last but not least my dance off…. Now he had time and time again to prove that he could be here for me, and he showed no attempt to be there for me at all.….. In the car…. I can't believe you guys dragged me to the car, I mean what kind of people do this to their own child? Well you did start to scream and the neighbors were starting to complain, plus this wont be that bad you will still get to go to the same school and see your friends you'll just be living with me and Roxy….
Oh you mean your soon to be wife?
Yes J-swift and please when you meet her try to be nice, now how bout some music?

American boy
Taylor Swift
American boy, living life as it goes Sitting on the fence posts Living in the lie American boy, living in the real world Trying just to get the girl Trying to survive Chorus:The simple things in life are always new Growing up on Sand Hill avenue Mama makes her cookies and daddy's just The greatest living hero that ever was Nothing in the world can ever once destroy The hope of an American boy Living off of bar tips, trying for relationships Looking for the love Suddenly rise, an American beauty Suddenly he cheats, sent from above Chorus:The simple things in life are always new Growing up on Sam Hill avenue Mama makes her cookies and daddy's just The greatest living hero that ever was Nothing in the world can ever once destroy The dream of an American boy American boy, raising little babies Hearing daddy maybe, I'll be like you Suddenly life, seems just like a new dawn That's grown up, American boy Chorus:The simple things in life are always new Growing up on Grand view avenue Mama makes her cookies and daddy's just The greatest living hero that ever was Nothing in the world will ever once destroy No, nothing in the world will ever once destroy The hope of an American boy!
"Oh I hate you Max!" "aw I love you too J-swift!"
When we finely got to the house I was exhausted then I ask.. Where is Roxy?
Oh I think she is at the store, she wanted to get a few things to make you feel more at home…. And how would she know what would make me feel at home, anything that you may have told her about me could have changed over the years! Have they? No but that's not the point.. What is the point then, the point is that she should have waited to get to know me instead of assuming things… okay I do see your point there, and by the way she didn't just assume what you do like, I told her what I knew that you liked so don't be mad at her…. Then he looked at me and saw that I was smiling, why are you smiling like that, because remember how you said that I hadn't changed one bit… yea why? Well I have I'm not mad at you I never was, I overheard what you mom and dad were fighting about… I would have called or text you but I accidentally dropped my phone in a pool don't ask how… and I would have ask mom or dad for your number but they didn't want to talk about you or anything that had to do with you at all…. And then I got your email, then I saw how you thought that I would still be mad at you and that you were getting married so I thought that the next time I saw you I would pretend to be mad at you….. that's mean J-swift! I know! But it got you going didn't it bro?
Roxy's PoV
(Laughing in the house) as I pulled into the drive way I saw that Max's car was here so then that must mean his little sister is here too oh my gosh I cannot wait to meet her now oh…. MAX where are you, in here Roxy! When I had walked into the room Max's little sister looked nothing like I thought she would…. She had light blonde hair like the kind you get after spending hours in the sun, the most piercing blue eyes I have ever seen, and she was bout 5'5, and as for clothing size she looked like she could be a size zero I mean is that even healthy….
Oh hi you be Jersey, max has told me so much about you.. But no doubt you must have changed over the years when he wasn't around…. Oh yeah I have changed a lot, and you must be Roxy I must say you are far more beautiful than Max described… really oh wow you don't know how much that means to me to hear you say, I mean I was told that I was a very pretty person but I never believed any of them… really not even when Max tells you, oh well yeah I do believe him when he tells me but only when I feel pretty! Really wow um Roxy If you don't mind me asking, where are you from?
Oh no not at all, I'm from Paris, France…
I thought you had a French accent, but I wasn't sure, okay Roxy why don't we let Jersey get settled in now, alright I'll show you to your room now right this way…
Jersey's PoV
So I was sitting in my new room at Max's house playing some notes on my guitar trying to write a new song, and incase your wondering no I am not a song writer this is for a school project… But I'm ok with that because I'm an honor student, but unlike other students I have a special gift, eidetic memory , commonly referred to as photographic memory, is a psychological or medical term, popularly defined as the ability to recall images, sounds, or objects in memory with extreme precision. The word eidetic, referring to extraordinarily detailed and vivid recall not limited to, but especially of, visual images, comes from the Greek word…
Oh I remember when my school found out bout me having a eidetic memory
(flash back)
Ok class settle down, just because Jersey has an eidetic memory does not mean school is easier for her she still has to learn everything just like you do, only she doesn't have to study as long as what most of you do….
But while were on this subject I'd like to tell you guys a bit more about eidetic memory…
While a person with photographic memory will very precisely recall visual information, a person with eidetic memory is not limited to merely visual recall – theoretically they can recall other aspects of the event including sensory information that is visual, auditory, tactile, gustatory, and olfactory, as well as other dimensions. Most discussions end up conflating eidetic memory with photographic memory, because the discussion tends to shift toward "eidetic imagery" which is basically the portion of eidetic memory that is visual in nature.
One type of eidetic memory as observed in children is typified by the ability of an individual to study an image, for approximately 30 seconds, and maintain a nearly perfect photographic memory of that image for a short time once it has been removed—indeed such eidetickers claim to "see" the image on the blank canvas as vividly and in as perfect detail as if it were still there. Much like any other memory, the intensity of the recall may be subject to several factors such as duration and frequency of exposure to the stimulus, conscious observation, relevance to the person, etc. This fact stands in contrast to the general misinterpretation of the term which assumes a constant and total recall of all events.
(end flash back)
That was the most boring class of my life and he knew it, he purposely made it boring just to make the rest of the class happy ugh I still hate History so much but at least Erica and I have all of the same classes together, so that does help like a lot but anyway I need to finish this song now for music class….. (a few hours later) finely I finished the song…..
Monster lyrics You were my conscience So solid, now you're like water And we started drowning Not like we'd sink any farther But I let my heart go It's somewhere down at the bottom But I'll get a new one And come back for the hope that you've stolen I will stop the whole world, I will stop the whole world From turning into a monster, eating us alive Don't you ever wonder how we survive?Well, now that you're gone, the world is ours I'm only human I've got a skeleton in me But I'm not the villain Despite what you're always preaching Call me a traitor I'm just collecting your victims And they're getting stronger I hear them calling(Calling, calling)I will stop the whole world, I will stop the whole world From turning into a monster, eating us alive Don't you ever wonder how we survive?Well, now that you're gone, the world is ours Well, you thought of strength and solutions But I like the tension And not always knowing the answers But you're gonna lose it You're gonna lose it I will stop the whole world, I will stop the whole world From turning into a monster, eating us alive Don't you ever wonder how we survive?Well, now that you're gone the world I will stop the whole world, I will stop the whole world From turning into a monster, eating us alive Don't you ever wonder how we survive?Well, now that you're gone, the world is ours
I do not own this song or the research of the eidetic memory.
