Chapter 9: The Rotten School Day
On Monday at school, Jimmy, Jenny and Cindy boarded the bus at the same time, and Cindy was wearing her locket, she didn't know why, she just felt like wearing it.
Libby noticed the locket right away, "Nice locket Cindy, where'd you get it?"
Cindy shrugged, "Don't remember, my parents might have given it to me when I was younger."
Libby nodded, "Cool, and it matches your outfit perfectly."
Cindy smiled, "Thanks."
Libby nodded and continued to listen to her CD, she was listening to the song "Summer Girls" by LFO.
Cindy uncomfortably held her book bag and looked down at her feet and the bus floor.
Jimmy and Jenny sat next to each other, neither of them really felt like talking.
When the bus came to a stop, and the kids got out, Cindy began talking to Jenny and Jimmy.
"So how's it goin Jenny?" asked Cindy.
Jenny shrugged, and suddenly Nick Dean was in front of them.
"Hey look, it's Jenny Craig!" And Nick Dean started laughing.
Jenny burned with anger, this was not what she needed, so she kicked him in the knee, really hard, and said, "For your information I weigh 90 pounds, trust me, I don't need a Jenny Craig! And will you please leave me and my friends alone you dork!"
Cindy giggled as they walked past Nick Dean, "You go girl!"
Jenny smiled, "Just living life the way I like it to be."
Suddenly Carl came up in front of them, "Hey, look guys! Friday is the school dance! And they're going to have a mysterious singer singing!"
Jenny smiled, "Hi Carl. That's cool, hopefully I'll still be here in time for the dance."
Jimmy replied, "Don't worry Jenny, I'm sure you'll still be here."
Cindy smiled and didn't say anything, she looked at Jimmy for a moment, but then looked away and back to Jenny, "Yeah Jenny, no stressing."
Suddenly the bell rang and everyone was in their classrooms.
Mrs. Fowl was writing something on the board, then she turned around and said, "Hello kids, nice to * bawwwwk * See you this morrrrning."
She picked up the roll cards and started to read, right before she got to Jenny Neutron, suddenly an announcement came over the loud speaker.
"Would a Miss Jenny Neutron please come to the front office right away."
Jenny looked over at Jimmy and then Cindy and then up to Ms. Fowl, who handed Jenny a hall pass.
Jenny opened the door, quickly looking back at her friends and the rest of the class who was staring at her. She opened the door, and BANG, oops … she opened the door right as Nick Dean came strolling by, hitting him hard on the face.
The class started laughing hysterically, and Jenny said, "Oops, sorry." As she rushed into the hall way, and started heading to the office, she was worried and afraid of what they might say to her.
She entered the office, and sat down in a nearby chair, "I'm Jenny Neutron."
The lady at the office stopped writing what ever she was writing for a moment and cleared her throat, "Oh, yes, of course, Miss Neutron." She picked up a pile of papers and picked up her glasses and looked at what it said, she frowned and put the papers down.
"Yes sweety, I'm the head of the office, Mrs. Shane," Jenny nodded, "I just received a call, your being taken away to the orphanage tomorrow by the government."
Jenny stood totally still, and suddenly she burst into many tears, how could this happen, no, it couldn't happen!
