The Adventures of Plant Pete!
Chapter 8: The New Life
"IT'S TIME?!" Plant Pete shrieked. "ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY IS 'IT'S TIME'?!"
"Yes." Plant Pete X nodded.
"Time for what?" Plant Pete's voice cracked.
"I'll tell you later." Plant Pete X said. "Now you must go to bed. It's Sunday, and you have to get up for school."
*WOOSH!*
Plant Pete X jumped over a building.
"GRRRAAA!" Plant Pete was angry. "I don't know what he means! UGH!" Jordan punched a pole.
*BING!*
"OWWW!" Plant Pete yelled in pain.
"Heh." The Chief of Police chuckled. He left with other police officers.
Plant Pete went to his Grandmother's house. He smacked his watch.
*SMACK!*
Plant Pete turned back to Jordan. He knocked on the door. Jordan's house got damaged by Gargantuars, so he had to stay over with his Grandmother, Aunt, and Cousin for a few days.
*KNOCK!*
"I'll get it." Ms. Wakefield said.
Ms. Wakefield came to the door and she opened it. She gasped loudly. "JORDAN! YOU'RE OKAY!" She hugged her son.
"Heh, yeah." Jordan chucked.
She pushed Jordan in and closed the door. "Jordan's fine, everyone!" She shouted to everyone in the house.
"Jordan!" His grandmother walked to him.
"Yay..." Marco said, with sarcasm.
"WHERE WERE YOU?" Mr. Wakefield entered.
Jordan hugged his Grandmother.
"I got knocked out, I believe," Jordan explained. "I woke up and I was lying in the street."
"Did you help fight the zombies?" Marco asked.
"Well, -"
Mr. Wakefield nudged Marco. "Stop."
"Jordan, you don't need to answer that question." Ms. Wakefield nodded. "Don't listen to your brother."
Marco growled. Jordan's Aunt walked into the room. She gasped.
"JORDAN!" She hugged him. "You're okay! And you grew a lot since I last saw you!"
"Heh." Jordan chuckled. "Thanks, I guess."
Jordan's Aunt went upstairs to sleep.
"So mom, what is going to happen?" Jordan asked. "We're staying at Grandma's for a few days, and I don't know how to get to school from here."
"I'll walk you for a few days, and then you will begin to go on your own." His mother explained. "You learn pretty fast."
"Thanks, mom." Jordan nodded. "Are the zombies going to come back, mom? They did a lot of damage."
"YEAH!" Marco came. "What if they destroy Grandma's house too? Where are we going to sleep and live after that? Or what if they-"
*SMACK!*
Ms. Wakefield smacked Marco. "Marco, go to bed." She folded her arms. "And stop being so negative!"
"Where?" Marco asked. "Uncle, Aunty, and Grandma are all upstairs!"
"Sleep in the basement, DUH! You forgot there was a basement?"
"But mom, I don't like the basement!" Marco whined. "There are ghosts in there!"
*SMACK!*
"You do NOT say that about your Grandmother's house." Ms. Wakefield was mad. "How dare you say that!"
"Mom..."
"MARCO FOR THE LAST TIME, GO DOWNSTAIRS AND SLEEP!" She screamed.
Marco didn't say anything. Marco went downstairs into the basement. "If I get haunted by a ghost, I'm blaming you." He mumbled.
Marco went in the basement and shut the door.
*SLAM!*
"Heh." Jordan chuckled.
THE NEXT DAY...
Jordan got up, brushed his teeth, ate breakfast, showered, and got dressed for school. It was kinda tough for him since his Grandmother's house was a bit crowded, but he dealt with it just fine.
"Bye Grandma! Bye Dad! Bye Auntie!" Jordan waved. "Hey Auntie, where's Uncle?"
"He's not up yet." His Aunt replied.
"What about me?" Marco asked, appearing in the room.
"Nobody cares about you," Jordan told him.
They left. Marco growled. Jordan and his Mother walked on the street to school.
"You see, your Aunts house is close to your school, so you basically have an 8-minute walk there." Ms. Wakefield explained.
"Okay." Jordan walked with her.
Jordan looked across the street. He saw some kids that go to his school. But they weren't just normal kids who go to his school. He saw the COOL kids across the street, walking to school too. Jordan's Mom wondered why Jordan was looking across the street.
"Jordan?" She asked. "Everything okay?"
"Uh, yes mom, let's walk a bit faster." Jordan sped ahead of her. Jordan DIDN'T want the "cool" kids to notice him.
Ms. Wakefield skipped next to Jordan. "What's the rush?"
"Uh, nothing mom," Jordan said. "I just want to be a little early today."
The Cool kids across the street saw Jordan.
"Hey..." One male cool kid squinted across the street.
"What?" The Female Cool Kid looked away from her phone.
"Look!" The Boy pointed.
The Second Boy and the Girl looked across the street. They saw Jordan walking with some lady.
"Ugh, doesn't that dork go to our school?" The girl asked.
"Yeah." The first boy said. "I remember one time that dork took my seat."
"What did he do?" The second boy asked.
"I yelled at him, and then he got up." The First boy explained.
"Whatever." The Girl looked back at her phone.
"Meh." The second boy pulled out his phone too.
"I wonder if that's his mother." The First boy chuckled.
"Really?" The girl looked up again. "Only dorks walk to school with their mom. Lame."
BACK ACROSS THE STREET...
"Jordan, is something wrong?" His mother asked. "Please tell me!"
"All we have to do is walk faster." Jordan sped ahead more.
"Jordan!" His mother YELLED pretty loud.
The cool kids heard Ms. Wakefield shout.
"Yup." The girl nodded. "That's his mother."
"He's a 100% dork." The second boy said.
"Bro, what if his mother kisses him on the cheek?" The first boy cracked his knuckles and chuckled.
The second boy and the girl grinned. They watched Jordan and his mom. Jordan stopped walking fast. His mother caught up.
"Jordan..." His mother said. "We need to-"
"Oh look, there's the school!" Jordan pointed to the school, which was a block away.
"Oh." His mother said. "Bye Jordan, have a great day."
*SMOOCH!*
The Cool kids SAW. They BURST out laughing. "HA HA HE HE HE!"
Jordan's mother walked back to Jordan's Grandmother's house. She heard laughing behind her, and she turned around.
"HA HA HA HA!" She heard 3 kids laughing.
Ms. Wakefield thought they were laughing at someone else, but they WERE laughing at JORDAN. His mom left. Jordan ignored them and walked in the school. The cool kids walked in after him.
"HA HA!" The cool kids laughed. "DORK! DORK!"
Everyone inside the school turned around to see what was going on.
"DORK! DORK!" The cool kids pointed directly to Jordan, and they said "dork" over and over again.
Jordan continued to ignore them. But then, everyone around laughed too!
"Grr..." Jordan growled. He was NOT happy.
HOURS LATER...
School was over.
Jordan walked out of school his was completely stressed out.
"Bye Jordan..." Chris waved and left. "Are you sure you're alright with the kids teasing you?"
"Yes, I'm fine." Jordan went to leave.
"You know, kids used to bully me in grade school, but then I dealt with them myself!" Chris cracked his knuckles.
"I'M FINE!" Jordan shouted.
"Uh, okay then..." Chris turned around. "Bye, Dude."
"See ya." Jordan went home. He had a terrible day.
LATER...
Jordan was back at his aunts house.
"Hey Auntie." Jordan hugged her.
"Jordan, what's wrong?" His aunt asked.
"Nothing I-"
"You look tired and stressed. Everything's okay?"
Marco peeped into the room. He looked at Jordan. "Heh." Marco thought.
"Marco!" Mr. Wakefield shouted. "Come help me out!"
"Okay!" Marco got up and ran to help out his Father.
"Jordan..." His aunt was worried.
"I'M FINE"! Jordan ran out of her arms. "I just need to left alone!" He shouted.
His Aunt frowned. Ms. Wakefield walked to his aunt.
"What happened to him?" His aunt asked.
"I don't know." Ms. Wakefield scratched her head. "He was pleasant this morning."
Jordan went in the room he slept in. He looked out the window. "Stupid kids." He mumbled. "I don't know what's wrong with walking to school with your parents. These kids are so stupid!"
*BANG!*
Plant Pete X jumped through the window.
"GAH!" It scared Jordan.
"Jordan." Plant Pete X was about to speak.
"I'm not in the mood." Jordan turned away. "I just had the worst day of my life."
"What happened?" Plant Pete X was concerned.
5 MINUTES LATER...
Jordan explained to Plant Pete X about the situation.
"Oh..." Plant Pete X frowned. "That happened to me when I was in High School. But if anyone messes with me now, I would beat them down."
"Easy for you to say." Jordan sighed. "Now leave. I don't even know what you're doing here anyway."
"OH YEAH!" Plant Pete X remembered. "Remember when I said that It's Time?"
"Yes..." Jordan said in his same anger voice.
"What I meant was, It's time for you to unlock your SPECIAL." Plant Pete X put his hand on Jordan's shoulder.
Jordan turned around rapidly and his frown turned into a smile.
