Hello guys, it has been a while. Came back from vacation, and I went on a cruise to the Bahamas. My bad luck also did not end with the finger. Something happened to my nose, I am pretty sure it is broken. It is swollen and crooked, and hurts. The chapter came out late because I took Tylenol which made me tired, and I did not finish the chapter. I legit went to bed at 7:30 PM. Then I was very busy today, and I did not know I was going to be busy, so sorry guys. Anyways, this chapter will cover another whole day of school, and the rest of the first day of school. Enjoy.

"I hope you are all having a good first day of school, but my rude comments and stubbornness has... gotten us into a situation." I said.

Some smiles went to frowns, and sighs can be heard.

"Well, what happened Noah?" Cody asked.

"It started in Period 2. This spoiled little daddy's girl were telling us to move because she wanted to work on the project near her posse. So I refused to move and said something rude, but I forgot what I said. She threatened me and walked away. It was a personal problem... But then at period 4, she warned me that if I do one more thing to upset her, that she would take it out on my friends. I said another rude comment to her in return..."

"And that was the final straw, with her?" Owen asked nervously.

"Yes... I am sorry guys. I just know that girls like her with big posses get their way... always. So I just wanted to warn you to watch your back. That is all." I said.

"Noah, you really need to stop being so rude to people. When push comes to shove, you always fight back with mean remarks. What will your parents think? The whole purpose of you leaving your books home was to make friends." Dawn said.

"How did you know... wait never mind, you read auras" I said.

"So, maybe we should talk about our day. To lighten the mood you know." Brick told me.

"Yeah. Izzy, everything okay, you seem quiet. You are never quiet." Owen said placing a hand on her soldier. Izzy seemed to be staring into space.

"Earth to Izzy." I said.

"Oh yeah, sorry, this conversation got dark and boring so I zoned out, and started thinking of my alter-egos." She said. And then bursted into a fit of laughter. That's Izzy. Her crazy alter-egos. Kaliedescope, Explosivo, and Brainzilla. My personal favorite is Brainzilla. She seems calm and collected, and smart.

We just talked about our day for thirty minutes, before Brick got picked up.

"Bye Brick! Nice talking with you!" Dawn yelled to Brick as his car pulled away. Oh right... I forgot about the rejection. She never yells.

"Well gang, we should hit the road. Izzy, have a nice day." I said to her.

"Will do." She said back.

"Alright lets head to the car guys." I said to Owen, Cody, and Dawn. Cody sits in passenger seat on the ride back.

We got to the car and started driving.

"Hey, you guys want to come over to my house at 3:00? That should be... 10 minutes after Noah gets to his house. That gives us all time to tell our parents. Text me when you have an answer from your parents." Cody said.

"Why don't we text our parents now, so I do not waste all that gas in the car. Let me pull over, so I can text them." I offered.

After about 5 minutes we all got okays from all of our parents, and I drove to Cody's house, and parked it.

"Well, what do you guys want to do?" Cody asked us.

"Maybe we can play video games." Owen and I offered at the same time.

"Alright. Dawn that cool with you? We will play some Luigikart. We know you like that game." Cody asked Dawn.

"Yes that is fine with me." Dawn said. Dawn likes the Plumber Brothers games because of their lighthearted nature. Plus she is pretty good at it.

"Lets head upstairs then." Cody said.

Cody was lucky. He came from a rich family, and lived in a big house. He was also an only child, and spoiled, but not spoiled rotten. He always had all the newest games, and game consoles, but also has some older games.

"Luigikart first?" I asked.

"Yep." Cody said.

"I will reck you all in this game." Dawn said. Dawn rarely says comments like this, especially with video games, because she knows who the video game masters are, but Dawn is very good at this game.

"Alright, that is the spirit!" Owen yelled.

We got out the four controllers for the Mee (Aka the Wii. I do not own Nintendo, nor do I own the Wii.)

"Dawn gets player 1, as reigning cha

mpion of the game." Cody announced.

"Noah gets player 2 because he is 2nd best." Cody announced. I hate second place. So close yet so far. You are basically being teased, that you were almost the best. Second place. Might as well get ran over by a train.

"I get third place for always coming in third place." Cody said.

"And Owen gets player 4, because, well no offense Owen you are not very good at this game." Cody said.

"None taken." Owen replied back.

"Okay lets play. Dawn choose the first place." I said.

"Troopa Cape" Dawn said. (Koopa Cape)

We played 3 round of the game, and the final stats were always the same: Dawn 1st Me 2nd Cody 3rd Owen 6th.

"Victory is yet again snatched from my grasp." I said.

"It is okay Noah. Just because you hate second place, does not mean you should get so angry. 2nd place is better than everything else except 1st." Dawn said.

"That is exactly why I hate it." I mumbled.

"Okay Cody, your house, you can pick what we do next." Owen said.

"Ummm what about board games?" He suggested. I like certain board games, and dislike certain board games, so I guess I am fine with them.

"That is cool with me." Owen said.

Dawn and I nodded our heads in agreement.

"So what game?" I asked.

"What about... Disney Scene It?" Cody asked. An intellectual game. I like the idea of that.

"That sounds good." I said.

"Disney?! Awesome! I love Disney, even though I have only been there once." Owen shouted.

"I call Lightning Mc Queen!" Cody shouted.

"Buzz Lightyear." I said.

"Tinker Bell." Dawn said.

"I guess I get Ariel." Owen said.

We set up the game, and put the disk in the DVD player. It was decided that Dawn would do first.

"Okay common lets get a 6." Dawn mumbled. She got a 5 and a MyPlay.

We continued to play until, someone won, and that someone is...

"Congratulations Owen! You won!" Cody exclaimed.

"I was not expecting that." I said.

"I should get going. It is 5:00, and I told my mom and dad that I would be home by 5:00, so i am already late. Bye guys! Oh and Owen you coming with me, or is your dad picking you up?" I asked.

"My dad is picking me up." Owen said.

"Okay. bye guys." I walked down the stairs, and I saw Cody's mom.

"Hello Mrs. Anderson! How have you been?" I asked her.

"Oh I have been doing fine. How are your parents?"

"They are good. Well I have to get going. Thank you for having me over."

"Okay, bye Noah."

I walked out the door, and drove home.

"Hello, I am home." I said loudly.

"Noah, how has your day been?" My dad asked.

"It was alright. I made four new friends, as you wanted." I said.

"Good job. See, a week without your books is not so bad." He said. The truth was it was not so bad, but my day would have been better with some books.

"Okay, well were is Mom?" I asked.

"In the kitchen."

I walked into the kitchen preparing my ears for squealing and my body for a bear hug. My mom did just that, and meanwhile the food she was cooking was starting to burn. Great. My favorite burnt food.

"There is my high school freshman! How was your day? Tell me all about it." My mom said.

"Okay okay but first calm down, and the food is burning." I said.

"Okay Noah."

I walked upstairs to put my book bag down, and walked back downstairs.

"Okay sit down now, the food is ready, but first I want to hear about your first day of high school." I love my mom, but she makes a big deal out of everything. This has happened 8 times already, surely you must have gotten used to it by now, you would think, but no. These conversations always end with her crying about how her children are growing up so fast.

"I made four new friends, I like 2 of my teachers, and I have lots of classes with my friends." I said.

"Oh okay. Did you get taller over those hours at school? You are growing up so fast, you know that?" She asked.

"Of course I am growing up fast, it is called puberty." I said to her.

My mom was now crying. My dad came over to comfort her.

"Get Sara, Jonah, and Elijah down for dinner please." Those are the remaining siblings that live in the house. The others have jobs, or they are in college already. There was a one year difference between each of us. Sara is a sophomore. Jonah is a junior. Elijah is a senior. Sara is probably my favorite. She is super smart, and funny.

I walked upstairs and looked in my room first. There are two children bedrooms, and the parents room. I share one with my 2 older brothers, and Sara get one to herself since she is a girl. Luck duck. I went to her room first. I knocked first.

"Come in." Sara said

"Hey. Dad wanted me to tell you to come down for dinner."

"Okay. Is mom crying?"

"Yes, even though she has been through it 8 other times. Never gets over how we are growing up."

"Yep."

I went to go get the others. I bursted into the room because it is also my room.

"Jonah, Elijah dinner is ready. Dad wants you to come down." Before they can say anything I shut the door. They are a pain in my butt, and irritating to talk to. They are brainless idiotic jocks. I do not know how I can stand sleeping in the same room as them.

I went to sit down at my spot at the dinner table where food was already served. My mom stopped crying, and was functioning normally now.

"They are coming down" I said. I looked at the food. Burned burgers. At least it won't be pink in the inside. Elijah and Jonah came racing down the stairs. At the second to last step Jonah tripped and fell on his face. At the same time Sara was coming down. Sara Elijah and I all burst into laughter at Jonah's misfortune.

"You guys saw nothing." Jonah said. We stopped laughing, and ate dinner in silence. Ahhh silence. The worlds most treasured thing.

It was 5:30 by the time we finished eating, and it was my turn for doing dishes. I washed them, and decided to finish my project. I typed it and printed it, and placed it in a folder. It was 7:00 when I finished.

I decided to play some Call of Work. I love shooting games, but we cannot play anything that involves killing things around Dawn. She will start ranting about how horrible those games are, and how we are hurting innocent creatures and humans.

I play for what seems like 20 minutes, even though I played till' 9:00. I took a shower, and got into my pajamas. I closed my eyes until...

Beep Beep Beep

Another day of horrible teachers and drama. Yay.

I got dressed, ate breakfast, and brushed my teeth. I then said bye to my parents and walked out the door.

I went to Owen's house to pick him up.

"Hey Owen, ready to go?" I asked.

"Yep lets hit the road." Owen said.

We drove over to Cody and Dawn's houses. I went to get Dawn while Owen got Cody.

"Hey Dawn you ready for school?" I asked.

"Of course. Lets get going."

I hopped in the driver seat, and greeted Cody.

"Alright lets get to school." Owen said.

We drove to school, parked and got out of the car. "Alright I will see you at lunch Owen, and I will see you at LA Dawn. Lets get to first period Cody." I said.

We walked to our 1st period classroom, and we were 3 minutes early. Amen to that.

We sat down and waited for class to start. Courtney saw me and started to approach. This girl sucks the life out of me, I hope I never have another project with her.

"What do you want from me now?" I asked.

"Good morning to you too, and I just wanted to know if you finished the project, even though it was only assigned yesterday. I want to know how many positive traits you got for me."

"Yes I finished, and I got three or four positive traits, and 7 or 8 negative traits." I said.

"What?! I am a great person! I have a great personality! Everyone likes me!" She shouted anger evident in her face and voice. The whole classroom was staring.

"Sorry sweetheart, but negative traits are easier to find than your few positive traits. And newsflash, not everyone likes you." I said

She just stormed off. I saw Mike and Brick enter. They walked over to our table which had 2 more empty seats since it sat 4 people.

"You always manage to get the classrooms attention every morning." Cody said to me.

Brick and Mike came and sat next to us. "How are you guys?" Mike asked.

"Oh my morning has been great. I got into this epic fight against my partner about her personality right before you guys walked in." I said sarcastically.

"Oh..." Mike said. Cody just chuckled.

"What about you Mike?" Cody asked.

"Life has been pretty good. I met this girl yesterday, and she is so nice. I think I like her." Mike said.

"Good for you soldier" Brick said.

"Thanks."

I think Mike is referring to Zoey when he says that. The teacher walked in. Today we actually learn something.

"Okay class, take out your textbooks, we are starting with chapter 1:Cell Processes.

I already know the cell processes: Mitosis, Meiosis, Photosynthesis, Osmosis, etc. So I went on ahead and answered the questions they asked about the cell processes, without reading all the pages. Cody seemed to be doing the same thing I was doing, because he flipped the pages at more rapid paces.

The rest of the class took the whole class to finish the chapter, but I finished in 20 minutes. I sat in silence until the bell caught me off guard. I packed up, and got out of the classroom.

I walked over to 2nd period with Brick. I get to see Dawn now, and less fortunately Heather and Courtney. Hopefully they do not cause any trouble.

I walked in the classroom, and I looked for Dawn, and there she was sitting by herself. She appeared to save Brick and I a seat.

I sat behind her, and Brick sat in front of her. That reminds me I have to tell Brick about Dawn. I will do that in private though. I look at the board, and today we have to answer a question written on the board, and write the answer in our notebook. I look at the teacher, and she is... on her flipping phone! What the hell?! She is supposed to be teaching and telling us what to do verbally. Not sitting on her butt doing nothing. Ms. Jackson is such a bad teacher.

I take a look at the question we have to answer. "Fix all the capitalization errors shown." Are you for real right now? We learned this in 2nd grade. We are in 9th grade! Well easier for me at least. I finish it 1 minute. 15 minutes after the bell rings, Ms. Jackson gets up.

"How are y'all' projects going." She asked.

She was met with silence.

"ANSWER ME WHEN I TALK TO YOU!" She shrieked.

She was met with a chorus of "good". This lady needs anger management issues, like Eva took.

"You know what? That was very disrespectful. The project is due at the end of class. If it is at home, oh well. Do it again! It does not need to be typed." She yelled.

Please tell me I packed my folder. I looked in my book bag and found it thank goodness. I do not have to work with Courtney. Hopefully she brought hers. I took out the paper out of the folder, and walked over to Courtney.

She looked calm and cocky. "You have yours?" She asked.

"Yes, do you?" I said.

"Yep lets turn it in then." She said.

We walked over to the teacher who was venting off.

"What do you want?!" She asked. Geez, as Owen once said: Have a cow.

"We finished our projects." Courtney said.

"Okay hand them over and sit down." Ms. Jackson said

I walked over to sit down at my seat, wear Dawn was working with B. B sat next to her. They were working together, and Dawn somehow translated B's hand motions. She truly is amazing.

I sat in silence, until Brick came back.

"I cannot stand that thug. He is a disgrace, an I have all the information I need. I do not need to be sitting next to that punk to write a paper about his negative traits. Finding positive traits is going to be hard." Brick said fuming. I never seen him this mad.

"Calm down Brick. His parents are hard on him, and that is what they turned him into." Dawn said to Brick.

"Okay. Just let me work on my paper." Brick said.

I sat in silence until the last 5 minutes of class. Everyone turned their papers in. I noticed that she did not check my paper. I thought I was lazy, and this teacher just plays on her phone rather than do her job.

"How was the project with B?" Brick asked Dawn.

"It was good. Learned a lot about him. He is just so silent, it is hard to tell what he is thinking." Dawn said back.

Brick talked about his partner, Scott. I feel bad for him because he sounds hard to put up with. The bell rang and I walked over to reading with Dawn.

"I can tell you are not looking forward to reading class because of the teacher. You just have to understand why she is the way she is." Dawn said.

"You read my mind. Ms. Aguiar is just so boring and complains way too much. No wonder she is single" I said. But then I noticed someone standing in front of us, we were at the classroom already, and when I said that comment, and that person was .

I felt the color drain from my face, as Ms. Aguiar gave me the death glare.

"Office, NOW!" She yelled at my face.

I was frozen for a couple of seconds, until Dawn tapped my shoulder. I walked to the office, and I guess Ms. Aguiar already called them because the principal, Mr. Bullock, was standing there at the door.

"You told off a teacher in front of her. Not cool dude. Come inside my office." He said.

"Now I got your record, and you have only been in detention once for a week in middle school for... traveling to another high school... wait that high school was this high school... and blowing up their lab with two other children. Ahhh... so I have met you." He said

I remember that day we blew up the lab. I Izzy was convinced there was a deadly potion being brewed inside the school lab, and made Eva go, and knocked me out and dragged me along with her. At least that is what Eva said. I was there when it happened, but I tried to stop Izzy from mixing the chemicals to make a counter potion.

"Yes. That is correct." I said.

"Okay, I do not like Ms. Aguiar either, and I thought about firing her but I looked for someone else and no one wants the job, so I will leave you off with a warning. But stay here the rest of class, because that would be really awkward to come into class on the same day you disrespected her. Plus, I need her to think I lectured you, and gave you a punishment. So just sit and chill until lunch." He said.

Wow the principal is actually really chill and cool. I did not even get a parent phone call ore detention. I am really lucky! I sat there until the bell rang for lunch.

"Bye Noah."

"Bye Mr. Bullock."

I walked to lunch but I was a little late because the office is far from the cafeteria. I guess Dawn told everyone what happened because everyone at the table looked really nervous.

"Hey guys." I said

"So how many weeks of detention?" Cody asked with a sigh.

"None! The principal let me off the hook! Not even a phone call home! He is a pretty chill guy." I said.

"Wow really?! That is like so awesome!" Izzy said.

Dawn hugged me with tears in her eyes. "I thought he would have expelled you because of you blowing up this school's lab! This is what happens if you are rude."

I was taken aback by her reaction. "Everything is fine though. I am sitting with you guys, and that is all that matters." I said. She released me, and we ate lunch.

Mike then came running to the table he looked very nervous. "Has anyone seen Zoey?" Mike asked

"She went to the nurse, she left early during reading, she was not feeling good." Dawn said.

"Oh, okay, well catch you guys later!" Mike said.

He is totally into Zoey.

"I am glad I did not get into detention, because then I would be with those thugs and jocks." I said. I shuddered at the thought of them trying to talk to me about sports and stuff I frankly do not care about.

"Also that would be on your record, and you already have something there from middle school, and it is pretty extreme." Cody said.

"You really got to watch your mouth little buddy." Owen said.

"Yeah yeah I get it, stop yelling at me dad." I said.

Owen and Cody just chuckled in return.

We ate lunch in silence, because we were all eager to eat are food, and I guess there was not a lot to talk about. Before we knew it, it was time for fourth period. The fourth period teacher is tolerable at least.

I walked to class with Cody, Dawn, and Izzy.

We walked in and took our seats. Trent and Gwen sat near us again to Cody's delight. Cody decided to try some pick up lines.

"Are you a camera, because every time I look at you I smile." Cody said to Gwen.

"Please back off."

"You smell nice." Cody said.

"It is just soap." Gwen said.

"Okay class, welcome back!" Ms. Crespo said.

'Today we will be playing Jeopardy, on World History, just to see how much you remember from 3 years ago. Your team will be decided based on where you sit. Rows one two and three are team one. Rows four five and six are team 2. There will be one reader, and I will decide the reader. What about... Samantha? Come on up. The first round will be Heather and Dawn. Dawn pick a section."

"World Religions 300." Dawn said

"Siddhartha Guatama is commonly known as?" Samantha asked.

I think it is the Buddha.

Dawn rang the bell first, and Heather looked like she could care less.

"What is the Buddha?" Dawn replied.

"That is correct. One point for team 2." Ms. Crespo said.

This went on and on until only one section was left, and I was called up.

"Noah and Courtney." Oh you have got to be kidding me! At least I am going against her The only section left was Introduction to History 500. Thank goodness. The basics.

"What substance was needed for civilizations to grow?" Samantha asked. Courtney did not know the answer, but it was so obvious. I rang the bell and said: "What is water?"

"That answer is correct." Ms. Crespo said.

"What?! How did his lazy butt beat me?" Courtney asked.

"It is called common sense sweetheart." I said.

"Team 2 wins!" shouted. We cheered while the other team sulked.

"Well the bell should ring any second now, so I will dismiss you guys early." Ms. Crespo said.

I walked alone to Speech and Debate, and sat down next to Sam. Funny he was not playing his GameGuy.

"Hey Sam."

"Hey Noah."

"How have you been?"

"I have been better. My 7th period teacher took away my GameGuy. I am going through tech withdrawals."

"Interesting..."
"Alright class, today we are going to be learning about informative speeches. Please take your notebooks out, because you will need to take notes."

We took notes on informative speeches, and it was actually pretty interesting. She explained it in a funny kind of way.

"Next week your informative speeches on whatever topic you want will be due good luck! And if you have any questions, or need help just tell me."

The bell rang, and I headed to the locker rooms. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. This will be a long 45 minutes.

I spotted Cody, but I decided to change first. Once I changed I waited for Cody outside the boys locker room. He walked out and immediately started to tease me.

"You ready for your favorite class?"

"Bite me."

We walked to the gym and spotted Dawn.

"Hey Dawn." Cody said.

"Hello."

Brick and Owen got here, than Izzy. Izzy proceeded to jump on my shoulders. I fell backwards under her weight, and she started to laugh hysterically.

"Very funny." I said.

"Do you always have to be so grumpy?" Izzy asked.

"Do you always have to be a psychopath?" I said back.

"Your just mad because are in your least favorite class."

"Whatever."

"My favorite class. Finally! I have been waiting so long." Brick said.

"You waited a day." Cody said.

"Oh right."

"Okay everyone! I am Coach Hazelwood, and the first sport will be volleyball. I will split you into 4 different teams, that I choose."

He told everyone where to go. I was on Team One with Owen. My plan was to just stand there, and if the ball were to come to me, I would attempt to hit it up.

"Team One and Team 2! Get on the court and start."

We got on the court and for a while I just stood to the side. After some more time, the ball came my way. I tried to hit it, but I missed. My team glared at me. "Sports are not my forte." I ball did not come to me for a while, and the game ended.

"Team One wins. Team 2 switch with Team 3."

Izzy and Dawn were on that team. Izzy was very good, and made an effort to try to get the ball to me, but Owen was always there to knock it away.

The game soon ended. "Team 3 wins. Team 1 switch with Team 4." Cody and Brick were on team 4.

I watched my friends play, but Izzy was too good. "Team 3 wins. Team 4 switch with with Team 2. This is the last game." Amen to that.

Team 3 won it al in the end.

"Good job Izzy!" Cody said

"Yeah you did great!" Owen said.

"Thanks!"Izzy said.

"You did good also Dawn." Brick said.

"Thanks, but I rarely touched the ball."

"You did better than me." I said. She chuckled in return.

"We we should get to math. Common Cody."I said.

"Oh yeah. Bye everyone." Cody said.

We walked to math and took our seats.

"Okay chapter one is a review on what you did last year. You can do it if you want. If you do not you have the class period to yourself." Mrs. Imperatori said.

Cody looked at the math book. "This is easy, we should skip it!" Cody said.

"Awesome, was not going to do it anyways."

I decided to brainstorm some topics for the informal speech. I thought about some recent news and I remembered one piece of interesting news: Clowns that lure children into the woods with candy, and then murder them. The Clown Purge. At home I will do some more research.

I wrote down what I knew so far. After that the bell rang, and it was time to go home.

"Can you text Owen and Dawn to meet us at my car, so I can bring them home?" I asked Cody.

"Sure thing."

5 minutes later, they came, and I dropped Cody and Dawn off. Next stop my home. I drove to my home, and Owen walked home from there.

"Bye Owen!"

"Bye little buddy!"

I walked inside my house and greeted my parents. My other siblings were not home. I decided to read the Giver for the 5th time. By the time I finished the Giver it was dinner time. I ate chicken and rice and decided to do some research for my informal speech. It turns out the clowns threaten schools with shootings, chase adults around with knives in the night, and break into people's houses. That is messed up.

I decided to got to bed, and perfect timing because my brothers were downstairs watch TV. I closed my eyes, until my mind went blank, and I fell asleep.

So that is the end of the chapter. I do not know if any of you guys know, but Noah's informal speech is based on true events that happened a year ago in USA. I hope you liked it, and again sorry about the late update.
