CHAPTER ONE: THE NEW LIFE

"Hey! Wake up!"  Minion's mom called.  "Come on, wake up!  You're going to be late for your first day of school.  Wow I still can't believe that you're turning 15 soon, and you're in ninth grade!"

"Five more minutes… please?  Wha… 6:30! I'm up, I'm up!" minion said.

"Hey Gary, Get up faster" Minion's mom called to him.

Minion/Gary quickly got a pop tart and raced out the door.  He was the fastest kid on him team… well he's on every team…  He saw the bus pull up and sprinted to the door of the bus.  Running and karate were Minion's favorite things to do.  He ran onto the bus and sat next to his friend, Shan.  "Hey Shan, first day of school, pretty cool huh?"

"What are you saying?  'Pretty cool' it sucks!  All the girls making fun us, all those damn jocks--" Shan tried to finish his sentence but Minion interrupted.

"I have a feeling that the jocks won't be able to lay a figure on us.  I'm faster now and stronger.  Maybe not like a jock, but… well the girls might still be a problem," he quickly added, "but over the summer I've been bored to death!!  I need something to do.  I'll I have done is karate and track! Well and every other thing I could get a hands on."

The school bus soon stopped and everyone got off the bus and walked towards the same school that they have been going to since per-school.  Well everyone except Minion that is.  He's a foreign student.
"Not even the teachers know where "he's from." People whisper in the halls.

"Well let's get to our classes."  Minion and Shan said together.  As they were walking trough the halls Minion spotted Erica, a girl Minion has had a crush on since, well since as long as he can remember.  She was talking to her best friend, Katie, who Shan had a crush on.  He wasn't the only person that had a crush on Katie either; Corey, Minion/Gary's best friend also did to.

Erica had long blond hair and wasn't much taller then 5'5 ft.  She had tan skin and a nice calm voice.  Katie was just off 5'1 and had brown hair and a less smooth voice.  It wasn't bad but it just wasn't as calm as the other girls.

"You know the 9th and 10th grade dance is coming up. Do u think-?" Minion asked hopefully.

"I think Kevin, "the jock," has already.  Sorry man."  Shan said sorta sadly.

BBBBBBBRRRRRRRRIIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!  The school bell had rung signaling the first day of school.  Kids everywhere scattered blowing kisses and screaming "see you later"

"See you later Shan… I have science with Corey and Erika… sigh."  Minion walked off slowly to his classes.

"As you can see………" the teacher rambled on. 

"Ya I cant believe that she said that to him…." Erica said to her friends.

"Corey, I bet I could beat you in a race now… and an arm fight." Minion boasted

"Probably could… in your dreams!" Corey said

"Ya maybe… I can't wait tell recess!  Tag will be sweet!!" declared minion.

****************************************

"Tag!" came the familiar voice of Shan as the game began. Minion was it, he dart so fast to Corey that it was a blur to all.  Corey was now it…  Corey ran after Lizzy and tagged her.  Lizzy ran after Christiana and she got Chris.  Chris went for Minion but he moved and Chris was still on pursuit of Minion.  Then Minion just disappeared…well it looked that way.  Chris stopped dead.  Minion was behind him.

"Tag me."  Minion said.  Chris did so.  Minion was now it, and the jocks ran.  He went after Kevin, the guy who was asking Erica out.  SMACK!  Guess who's it?

******************

"Well tag was fun… hahah." Minion snickered.
