Victoria Jackson Chronicles

The next day, Victoria was awoken by her alarm clock blaring in her ear as her head shot up from her mountain of pillows. She quickly hopped out of bed and grabbed her towel, racing to the singal bathroom that her an her brother shared.

She stopped short when she saw Chance open his bedroom door. Victoria smirked as she stepped into the bathroom and slammed the door in Chance's face.

After she exited the bathroom dressed in her school clothes and had her hair done, she gave Chance an innocent smile and walked back to her bedroom to get her backpack ready.

Victoria and Chance got in Chance's car to drive to school. Chance drove a black jeep that fit four people. Chance looked over to see Victoria rifling through her bag, looking for something.

"What are you looking for?" Chance asked as she started dumping out the contents.

Victoria decided to ask Chance a question without telling him. "I'm looking for my phone. I left it on the table last night and then it wasn't there this morning." She looked over to see Chance's ears turn red. He stuttered something encomprehenible as he continued to drive. She giggled a little and started putting the contents back in her bag.

Once at school, Victoria was at her locker, putting some of her text books up and putting folders in her back-pack. A bunch of loud nosies came from her right and she was about to turn to see what it was when something smashed into her, slamming her locker shut and making her fall on the floor with her textbooks and folder s spilling out on the floor around her.

She wiped the hair out of her eyes to see the football team laughing at her.

"Why don't you look were you're standing?" The head joke said. He was a boy named James Peterson who was about her age with black as night hair and brown eyes. He had broad shoulders which were covered by a white T-shirt and his Goode football jacket They started to turn around and leave when Chance came to help Victoria up.

Chance helped her up and gave her her backpack so she could put her fallen bokos back in.

"What happened?" He asked as she rubbed her shoulder that was surley bruised.

She nodded her head to the retreating jocks backs. "Those dumb jocks bumped into me and knocked me down, telling me it was my fault."

Victoria saw Chance's eyes turn to hatred as he looked at the jocks. "Hey!" He shouted, making the jocks turn to look at him.

They walked back over and glared at Chance and then the head jock looked over to Victoria as she was cowering behind Chance.

"Who's this?" James asked mockingly. "Your big brother?"

"Hey," Chance said getting James attention again. "don't talk to my sister like that."

James sneered and went to attack Chance and Chance was getting ready to punch him, but Victoria entervened in between them.

"Stop it!" She shouted putting her hands on the boys' chest and pushing them apart. The boy's were shocked by her strength. Victoria turned to Chance. "You don't need to get into another fight. And you," She said turning to James. "stay away from my brother or next time I won't stop him." She glared one last tie at the boys before stalking off to World History.

Victoria made it to World History and sat by her friend Sam. The whole class was waiting for thier substitute teacher filling in for Mr. Dodds.

Sam started up a conversation with Victoria about what the fight was about between her brother and James, but before she could answer a middle age woman came in and started writing her name on the board. She turned to everyone with a stone cold glare on everyone.

"My name is Ms Kampinelle and I will be your substitute for today." She then wrote something on the board. "Can anyone tell me what this says? Victoria Jackson?"

Victoria focused on the board and looked closer at the words. They seemed to rearange themselves. Victoria had ADHD and dyslexia, so she couldn't read words well.

Victoria sighed, "I don't know." Stupid dyslexia, she thought to herself.

By the end of school, Victoria found herself wanting to go home even more then the rest of the kids. Ms Kampinelle had embarresed her twice today and not to mention parent/teacher night was tonight, too.

Joy, Victoria thought as she she slammed the door to Chance's jeep. She left Chance in the lobby of the apartment to take the elevator up, while she angerly stompped up the flights of stairs.

She turned the corner to the third flight of stairs to go to the fourth, when she bumped into something solid and stumbled backwards only to be caught and pulled back to whoever she hit.

Victoria looked up into brown eyes that belonged to none other then James Peterson. She pushed herself out of his grip and pushed past him to continue up the flights of stairs.

"Wait!" She heard him shout. Sighing, Victoria stepped back down a couple of steps and looked at him with a waiting expression. "I'm sorry I ran into you at school today and almost got into a fight with your brother. It's just that I'm the star of the football team I the guys think I have a reputation to uphold."

Victoria sighed in defeat because she couldn't think of a response to his explanation. "It's okay. I guess I'll see you at school tommorow." As she turned to leave, she felt James grab her hand and pull her back to facing him.

"Do you know Ms Kampinelle?" James asked still holding her hand. She nodded.

"How can I forget her." She grumbled.

"Well you know how she's making us do a whole essay on Greek Mythology and making us name all the gods and goddess?" James asked as she nodded. "I was wondering if you could help me, because I don't know one thing about it."

Victoria laughed at him as he smiled when he said that.

He does have cute smile, Victoria thought as she watched the dimples appear at the sides of his cheeks. Stop it, she scolded.

"Wait, what period do you have her?" She asked.

"Seventh." James replied.

"I have her seventh too. Isn't wierd how we've never seen each other in that class?" She asked chuckling a little. He nodded in agreement. "Come on, follow me." She said pulling her hand away from his and then regrabbing his. She ran up the fourth set of stairs and ran down a long hallway that ended at her apartment door. Victoria let go of James's hand and grabbed her key, opening up the door.

She walked in and set her key down on the key tree on the kitchen isle. "Mom, Dad. I'm home." She said setting down her bag on the bar chairs that lined the counter.

"In the living room." Called her dad from around the corner. She told James to follow her and she turned the corner to see Chance sitting on one of the chairs, doing homework. Her mom and dad were sitting down on the couch doing taxes.

Annabeth looked up to see her daughter and her daughter's new friend enter. "Hey sweetie. Who's you friend?"

"I'm James Peterson. Nice to meet you Mr and Mrs Jackson." James said extending his hand to Victoria's parents. They shook. Annabeth shook it lightly. Percy squished his hand in his killer grib.

"Daddy!" Victoria yelled as she yanked her dads' hand away from James who was now cradeling his bruised hand. "I'm so sorry, I'll go get you an ice-pack." She said hurrying off to the kitchen.

She came back to see her mom examining James's hand to see if it was broken, her dad sitting next to James with dissaproving look on his face, and Chance apprently saw that James was here and stalked off to his room.

Victoria walked over to James and sat down between her father and him, putting the ice-pack on his hand. Apologizing when he winced at the sudden coldness.

"Hey Mom," Victoria said, getting her mom's attention. "James and I have homework for Mr Dodds class, so we'll be up in my room." She said, motioning toward the hallway. She heard her father clear his throat and she looked toward him to see he was glaring at her. "In the kitchen?" She suggested. Percy shook his head. "Here?" She tried again.

This time Percy did nod and Victoria nodded, going to the kitchen to get her bag. She and James sat down on the couch while her parents gave them some privacy and decided to watch them through the kitchen opening.


After and hour of working, the home phone went off, scaring James and Victoria who were half-way asleep from doing the essay. The sounded scared Victoria that her head jerk back, banging it on James's forhead.

They groaned in pain as Annabeth came out to answer the phone.

"Hello?" She asked into the phone. She nodded and hung-up the phone. "Victoria, open house is canceled tonight. It's Monday night." Victoria nodded and helped James gather his things so he could leave.

As Victoria opened the front door and was about to close after James left, but he stopped her from closing it.

"Hey Victoria," He said sighing and running a hand through his dark locks. "since tommorow is Saturday. I was wondering if you wanted to go see that new movie; Planet of Apes and then maybe we could go rollerskating?" He asked with a pleading look. When Victoria didn't answer he started to turn away. "Neverind, this is stupid. I'm sorry I wasted your time."

"Wait James!" Victoria called after him. He turned back around to face her. "Pick me up at six o' clock?" She asked with a smile and giggled as he grew a big childish smile.

She waved by to him and closed the door. She run up to her bedroom and started jumping on the bed like a crazy person. She fell onto her bed, out of breath, with a huge smile.

Victoria rolled over and went to sleep, which was hard because her dreams were filled images of James
