The Adventures of Plant Pete!
Chapter 9: Social Trouble
"ARE YOU DEAD SERIOUS!" Jordan immediately got a happy mood.
"Yes." Plant Pete X nodded. "This happened to me when I was training to become Plant Pete X."
"Cool!" Jordan's eyes sparkled. "Who was your trainer?"
"The all-powerful Watchmaker." Plant Pete X put his hands on his hips.
"AWESOME!" Jordan said. "So, can I get my special now?"
"I'm afraid you can't just get it like that." Plant Pete X folded his arms.
"Then how?"
"You have to complete a TASK." Plant Pete X smirked.
"WHAT?" Jordan screamed.
*BANG!*
The door burst open. It was Marco. "Who the heck are you talking to?" Marco asked.
Jordan looked. Plant Pete X was gone.
"How does he move so fast?" Jordan said, under his breath.
"How does WHO move so fast?" Marco looked around. "I know you were in here with someone. I'm going to find out WHO."
2 MINUTES LATER...
Marco couldn't find Plant Pete X after searching for him.
"Lucky," Marco mumbled and left.
*SLAM!*
"MOM! Jordan was talking to someone in his room!" Marco yelled in the hallway.
"He's probably just talking to himself..."
"Just look in!"
"NO!" His mother shouted. "Marco, you're stressing me out!"
Marco hissed his teeth.
Plant Pete X came out from under the bed.
"H-How did you get under there so quickly?" Jordan asked.
"Nothing." Plant Pete X dusted himself. "Anyway, you have to complete a task."
"But I thought I already DID the task!" Jordan shrieked.
"NO." Plant Pete X shook his head. "You see, when you sparkled and rose in the air like that, THAT was telling you that you are eligible for task completion."
"What?" Jordan facepalmed. "That makes no sense."
"Your watch has a mind of its own. Ever since you put that watch on your wrist, HE watched you. He wanted to know if you were the one."
Jordan was confused, but he didn't care. "Okay so, can I complete my task now?"
"Yes." Plant Pete X said. "But there's one problem, we don't know WHAT the Task is."
"COME ON!" Jordan screamed. "Why is this so complicated?!"
*CREAK!*
The door opened. "Jordan, are you ready for Lunch?" His Aunt asked.
"Yeah, Auntie give me a minute," Jordan said.
"Jordan, you have to eat Lunch NOW." His Aunt said. "Go eat."
"But-"
"Jordan." His Aunt got the straight face. She didn't want to yell at him.
Jordan sighed and went to go eat.
LATER...
Jordan finished eating, and he had arrived back upstairs to Plant Pete X.
"Where are you?" Jordan looked for him.
Plant Pete X appeared behind Jordan.
"Here."
"GAH!" Jordan jumped. "There you are!"
"Alright, Jordan you need to complete your task." Plant Pete X sat on the bed with him. "I just don't know what your task is."
"What was your task?" Jordan asked.
"Oh, I didn't unlock my special." Plant Pete X chuckled. "Heh."
"Darn."
"Well, hope for the best!" Plant Pete X opened the window and jumped right out.
"Wait!" Jordan yelled. "I don't know the task!"
Plant Pete was gone.
"UGH!" Jordan grunted.
LATER...
It was night, and Jordan's Mom, Dad, Aunt and Uncle watched the news as they ate dinner.
"The Zombie Apocalypse is not over, according to our Zombie Tracking Technology. Over 30,000 Zombies are expected to rise from the dead in a Week. So how can YOU protect yourself from Zombies?" The Reporter announced. "We're speaking to one of the Zombie Tracking Technologists here, Nick Ginman. Nick, how can you protect yourself and your home from Zombies?"
"Thanks, Reporter." Nick Ginman said. "Anyway, the best way to protect your house from Zombies is to close all entrances to your house. For example, windows and doors. Make sure you buy this type of Glass called Specto-Glass. This is a New type of Glass that came out last week, and it is very special because it is extremely difficult to break, you can install these glasses; it's very cheap."
"Huh." Mr. Wakefield sipped his drink. "Those look neat, don't they."
"I agree, brother." Mr. Johnson nodded (That's Jordan's Uncle).
"I don't know what up with this Zombie nonsense." Mrs. Johnson said.
"If Zombies find a way to get to your house, what you can try to do is turning off all devices in your home and staying quiet. Light and sound can get a Zombie's attention easily. So that's another thing that you can do. Back to you, Reporter."
"Alright, thanks, Nick." Reporter said.
"HMMM..." Mrs. Wakefield thought of something.
THE NEXT DAY...
Jordan got ready for school.
"BYE MOM!" Jordan went to go kiss her, but his mom was DRESSED.
"Uh, Mom where are you going?" Jordan asked.
"Oh, I am just going to walk you to school AGAIN." His mom went to grab her purse.
"NO!" Jordan screamed. "I-I KNOW THE WAY!"
Marco appeared. "What's wrong, Jordan? You don't want your friends to see that you walk with your mom? HUH?"
Jordan blushed. "MARCO, SHUT UP!"
"HEH. HEH." Marco rubbed his hands together. "I know your secret."
"Come on, we have a few minutes." Mrs. Wakefield opened the door.
"Mom, I'm fine!" Jordan yelled.
"Jordan, I'm walking you to school!"
"UGH!" Jordan grunted.
*ZOOM!*
Jordan just ran out the door, leaving mom behind.
"He's gonna be in trouble when he gets home." Marco laughed. "HE HE!"
Mrs. Johnson appeared. "I think I know what happened to Jordan. Remember yesterday when he was angry when he got home?"
Everyone nodded.
"I think those stupid children saw Jordan walking with you, and then they laughed at him!"
Mr. Wakefield yelled. "WHAT?" He was angry,
Mrs. Wakefield was in SHOCK. "OH NO! JORDAN IS GETTING BULLIED!"
*ZOOM!*
Mrs. Wakefield ran on the street.
"Mom, where are you going?" Marco asked. "Just let those kids bully Jordan!"
*POW!*
Mr. Johnson punched him. Marco pouted.
Mr. Wakefield was disappointed with Jordan. "I can't believe Jordan let those kids make fun on him. I need to talk to him when he gets home."
"HE HE!" Marco giggled. "I want to see him get smacked by DAD!"
Mr. Wakefield grunted at Marco. Marco went upstairs.
MEANWHILE...
Jordan was running on the street. He was close to school. His mom was FAR AWAY. She couldn't catch up with him, so she turned around. Jordan stopped running and turned around.
"Looks like she gave up." Jordan thought.
Jordan continued to walk to school. He was right outside of the school entrance. but then he bumped into someone. Who was it? It was those COOL KIDS.
"OH SNAP! OH SNAP! It's MR. DORK!" The Kid yelled.
"HE HE HE HA HA!" Everyone laughed.
"Everyone look!" Someone picked Jordan up.
"HEY!" Jordan screamed.
One teen held Jordan high in the air. "Everyone, can I have your attention?"
Every kid turned around to look at the teen. "Say hello to MR. DORK!"
"HA HA HA!" Every COOL KID laughed. "HI MR. DORK! HE HE HA!"
Jordan blushed in embarrassment.
*TOSS!*
They threw Jordan on the ground like he was a pile of TRASH.
"HA HA!" They laughed.
Every normal kid did not laugh.
"HEY!" Someone yelled. "Leave him alone!"
The cool kids turned around. It was Chris. Chris stood there, and he put his fists up. "If you want to bully my friend, you bully ME FIRST."
"Alright." One Cool kid folded his arms. "You're fat."
"HA HA HA HA HA!" Every cool kid laughed.
"Oh Yeah?" Chris put his fists down. "Do you know what Fat Means?"
The Cool Kid stood there and tried to think.
"Yo." The kid whispered to another. "What does Fat mean?"
"I don't know, dude!" The other kid shrugged.
They turned back to Chris. Chris was smiling.
"What's so funny, kid?"
"You wanna know? I think it's funny that you are all so ignorant!"
"Well, yeah? Your mother is ignorant!" The teen yelled.
"My Mother is a Doctor, dummy. Speaking of Doctors, you should see one. Because your IQ is below the average teen." Chris folded his arms and smirked.
Everyone OOHED. Jordan smiled. The Cool Kid took off his backpack and threw it to someone else. He walked straight to Chris.
"Huh?" Chris opened his eyes.
He picked up Chris.
"AAAH!" Chris screamed.
"You think you're so smart kid, huh? Well in this world, it doesn't matter how smart you are."
"W-What are you talking about?" Chris asked.
"Smartness doesn't matter, IDIOT! In this world, SIZE and STRENGTH MATTERS."
Chris was confused. "No, it doesn't!"
"YES, IT DOES!" He threw Chris to the ground.
Everyone covered their eyes. Some kids ran to get the Principal. Chris rubbed his head and got up. Jordan stood next to Chris.
"You have to get through me, FIRST." Jordan cracked his knuckles.
"Jordan, what are you doing?" Chris asked.
"I'm protecting you!"
"No, DUDE! I'm supposed to protect YOU!" Chris yelled.
"Chris, we're friends. We protect EACH OTHER."
Chris smiled. But then-
*WHACK!*
Jordan and Chris fell down. The Cool Kid smacked them with his backpack.
"HEH HEH." He opened his bag and pulled something out. What did he pull out? A Social Studies TEXTBOOK!
"Oh MY!" Chris asked. "WE are going to have to use that SAME book when we get into the next class!"
"GRAAA!" The Teen through the BOOK.
*BANG!*
It his CHRIS in the face. Chris fell down, and he didn't move. Everyone gasped.
"CHRIS!" Jordan screamed. "He must've got knocked out."
Jordan picked the book off of Chris. He glanced at it. Inside, he saw the Name: "Reggie" written in marker inside.
"What are you going to do, kid?" Reggie asked.
"Well, Reggie, do you like Fist Sandwiches?" Jordan asked.
"First of all, that's not a real thing. And Second, how do you know my-"
Jordan jumped in the air and hit Reggie. Reggie took a few steps back.
"GRAA!" Reggie punched Jordan.
Jordan moved out of the way.
*POW!* *POW!*
Jordan kept dodging his punches.
"GRR!" Reggie was mad. "STOP MOVING SO I CAN HIT YOU!"
"Never!" Jordan jumped in the air.
*SLOW MOTION ON*
"GRAAAA!" Jordan kicked Reggie in the face.
*BANG!*
Reggie fell to the ground.
*THUD!*
He fell.
*SLOW MOTION OFF!*
Reggie DIDN'T GET knocked out, he stayed on the floor.
"YEAH!" Every kid in Jordan's age group yelled. "JORDAN! JORDAN!"
Jordan smiled. But then-
*BANG!*
The front door of the school opened up.
"ATTENTION!" The Principal shouted.
Everyone turned to him.
"WHAT IS GOING ON? YOU ALL WERE SUPPOSED TO BE IN CLASS 5 MINUTES AGO!" The Principal yelled. The Principal looked down at the ground. He GASPED.
*TRAGIC MUSIC PLAYS*
The Principal SAW 2 kids lying on the ground!
"WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS!" The Principal yelled.
One of Reggie's friends raised their hand. "It was Jordan, sir! He started it by attacking Reggie!"
"YEAH!" Reggie's female friend shouted. "Then, Jordan told his friend Chris to help beat him up, but then Reggie knocked out Chris in Self Defense. Then Jordan knocked him OUT!"
The Principal was NOT happy. "Everyone, INSIDE NOW! AND YOU, MR. WAKEFIELD. IN MY OFFICE AFTER SCHOOL!"
Jordan gulped.
