Chapter 3: A Little Awkward Info
The next morning came quickly and abruptly. Ann woke up in her bed, and grabbed some clothes and slugged her way down stairs and had a look on her face like she was still half asleep.
Mrs. Neutron sat quietly at the eating table, poking at the eggs in front of her like she was a ten year old afraid that they might have something wrong with them, except without the disgusted looks, she had a look on her face that almost seems bored.
To keep you from being too bored I'm fast forwarding this to the part where Jimmy and Ann actually get on the bus on time, along with Jenny, Julie, and Cindy.
Ann looked like she was still going to fall asleep next to her own school friends, Amanda and Joey.
Joey: Therefore I conclude the world is round!
Amanda: Are you TRYING to sound superior?
Joey: Sort of …
Amanda rolled her eyes, she had short blonde hair, blue eyes, and was wearing dark purple overalls, with a long sleeved black turtle necked shirt, black snow boots, and a jacket.
Joey was a brownish blonde, his hair sort of was forward (like the original Jimmy Neutron in 1995) and he had a long green shirt and some what baggy dark blue pants, snow boots, and a jacket.
Amanda was smart and had a tendency to sound like she could be rather mean, but she was really rather sweet, and always fun to be around, but when she was serious, she really was serious!
Joey on the other hand wasn't the brightest, but he's for sure the sweetest guy! He isn't really a softy, he has his share of meanness, but he takes karate, fencing, and archery, so he's not weak, and he kind of has a crush on Ann. Amanda knows it, she thinks it's really obvious, but Ann hasn't realized it.
All three of them had been best friends since Kindergarten, and they hoped it would stay that way.
Amanda: Ann? Ann … ANNETTE?
Amanda waved a hand in front of Ann's face as she stared into space thinking, but suddenly blinked and returned to reality once she saw Amanda's hand waving in front of her face.
Ann: What? Oh … sorry … I kind of dazed off .. again.
Joey: You ok Ann?
Ann: Yeah … I guess …
Amanda: You don't sound like your self.
Ann: Mmm …
Joey and Amanda looked at each other with a worried look on their faces, something was wrong with Ann, that's for sure.
The bus stopped and all the kids got off.
If you have ever seen the show "As Told By Ginger" you'll notice all three schools, Lucky Elementary, Lucky Junior High, and Lucky High School, you'll noticed they are all right next to each other. That is the same for Lindberg Elementary, Retroville Middle School, and Retroville High School. No one was really sure why Lindbergh wasn't Retroville Elementary … but no one really cared for that matter either.
Juliet sighed as she headed over to the Middle school, she was the only one of her friends that was still in Middle school, Ann was in elementary and Jimmy, Jenny, and their friends where in high school, it upset Julie a little bit, but she had one true friend in Middle school, and that was Shawn. Julie had grown into pretty much a tomboy and was considered an outcast by most of the girls at the school. Shawn was actually the guy most girls had a crush on, and they were all jealous that Julie was his best friend, but they all thought she was an idiot since she didn't want to date him. Actually, talk about coincidence … Shawn is Joey's older brother.
Ann, Amanda and Joey headed to the elementary school, relieved for the fact that school would be done for after the day after tomorrow until January . These three weren't really non-popular … just in the "unknown" group, if you said "Do you know who Annette Neutron is?" someone would either say, "Umm … no" or "Oh, she's Jimmy Neutron's little sister, the high schooler." Or "Get out of my way!"
If you walk up to someone and ask "Do you know who Joey Stein is?" and if you ask any girl, they'll say "Omg, duh! He's related to that totally hot middle schooler Shawn Stein!" or "Get out of my way!" if you ask any boy, they'll say "Uhh … yeah, Shawn is the coolest dude ever!" or "Get out of my way!"
If you walk up to someone and ask "Do you know who Amanda Petite is?" All girls will say, "Duh … petite is a size of clothing! Now go away!" , ask any boy and they'll say, "Uhh … move out of my way!"
That therefore explains Ann, Amanda, and Joey's "popularity scale".
Jimmy, Jenny, Cindy, Libby, Carl, and Sheen, all headed to the high school. Each of them had a different "known for" quality.
Jimmy was the one everyone knew they could ask for homework help. He was after all the smartest, so his popularity was a big higher than most people because if a jock or cheerleader was failing, they could come to him.
Jenny was an individual, she didn't pay any attention to what people said against her and she traveled her own way, so she was more of a role model, so a lot of people tried to fallow her, which always annoyed Jenny a bit.
Cindy isn't into the popular crowd these days, she would hang out with basically anyone, and therefore she really has no status, basically it goes "Who ever your dating, you fall into their category", however we all know Cindy should be in Jimmy's category, as they are both really smart, but Cindy simply has no real status, other than having a major in acting classes.
Libby was the school website maker, if you want something on the Retroville High School site, go bug her about it, she's known as the webmaster at Retroville High.
Carl was the school nerd, he's not that smart, but he is a bit awkward, he really doesn't have any status.
Sheen on the other hand, school mascot is most appropriate, he's the guy in the mascot uniform, they're the Retroville cows, therefore he dresses as a cow that can stand on two legs during any school game, but he still has an obsession over Ultra Lord, and has been trying to convince the school of making Ultra Lord the mascot since day one of when he joined the high school.
Therefore, everyone in this high school is known for something, go up to someone and ask "Say, what status is Sheen in?" and they'll say "Duh, he's the school cow mascot, now get out of my way!"
All the kids headed to their own school's pin-up boards to see one huge poster for an all schools dance that Friday. Two bands would be playing, Downtown, which was Jimmy's group, and a new band, The Smores.
No matter what group of status you where in, how low in popularity, or how well known you where, or even what school you where in, there was one thing buzzing in everyone's mind.
Who are they going to the dance with?
