Animorphs #1 The Others
Chapter 1
Ian
I got up this morning like any other morning. Brushed my teeth. Took a shower. Its funny how life treats me. Sometimes its good, sometimes bad, and abnormaly both.
I grabbed a pop-tart. and went over to the couch. "De-Doh-Doh-Doh-Do-Doh," My annoying brother Chris started singing another annoying song.
I looked at him, then blurted out, "I kill you if you don't shut up."
He's 11 and he thinks he is hot stuff because he just got in 6th grade.
I had five minutes till I left. He always left later than me.
Five minutes comes and goes when your chasing a jacked up 11 year old around the house while listening to him yelling, "Where's the beef!"
I grabbed my backpack and began taking the long walk to my bus stop. I saw my friend Bobby on the way to the stop. "Sup?" he somewhat asked me.
"My zipper," I answeared him, "And oh yeah I win that bet about you saying I wouldn't pull my zipper up today, I mean what makes today any different I always pull up my zipper."
He handed me twenty greens. "You shouldn't extrort me like that." He accused me.
"You made the bet." I told him off, at least I think I did.
I got on the bus and went to school. When I got there I walked up the gym bleachers to sit with no one in particular. A kid named Jake waved to me. I guess I should. I mean he has no friends, he thinks I'm his friend because at lunch a week ago an enemy of mine was picking on him. Normaly I would have let it go, but my enemy had a crowd going, so I thought it would do some damage if I beat him up.
So I did but he has pride and didn't squeal and he made sure no one else did, but hey now he doesn't bother me or Jake so its ok I guess.
On my way to Jake a girl named Luna said hi. So I said hi back and kept walking.
I've known her since kindergarten and was assigned four or five projects with her. On I really screwed up. Our third grade class had just finished reading 'The Lord of the Rings' and we had to write a story about Frodo and Sam in groups of two. I ended up in a group with Luna. I said I would do all the work. I would draw the visual and write the story, so she said ok figuring she'd get out of work. My story was titled 'Fritto and Ham' and my visual was a a ham and a bag of Frittos. We got an F-.
So I sat next to Jake. We didn't talk until I sat down. Lets put it like this. He said hi. I said hi. Then we got in a conversation about cats for some reason. An then I remember I forgot to feed my orange tabby, Whiskers. So ther you have it, I ruined my morning.
Everything was ok until 7th period when we were playing football in gym. It was the only period I had Jake and Luna in. I was on the same team as Jake but not Luna. My team was on offense. The stupid quarter back passed me the ball. Crap. I started running then I saw Luna chasing me. D'oh. And the only person I could pass to was Jake.
Now not to dis me an Jake but we're not the perect athletes actualy some of the 'Ghetto Kids' call us and a few others 'those stupid weak whit boys', in a way they're right. And Luna was probaly going to tackle me because I can't ran with more then a tee-shirt, shorts and an over shirt on.
So I passed to Jake. Amazingly he caught it. He was a few yards from the inzone. This touch down would put us ahead. Then he passed to me.
Luna tackled me and everyone on both teams came and dissed me and Jake. Except Luna who was spacing out.
The bell rang and I got on my bus. I was stuck in a seat with an eigth grade gir named Erin. I found this out when she and her seemingly air-headed pal, Krissy. But after eavesdropping for a few minutes I realized she was being made fun of by the other girl. After they're conversation I looked at her and said, "I think you need a friend, and don't look at me for one because too many people already do."
"Yeah maybe your right, uh whats your name?" She asked me.
"Ian, and don't bleach it because I'm not changing it." I joked poorly.
"What?" She sounded confused.
"Never mind," I told her, "Maybe I will be your friend."
"Really?" She said, "Well forget it."
"You are really fake," I commented, "I know deep down you want a friend, otherwise why would you have said 'Really'."
"Yeah I guess so." She told me.
My stop came and I got off. Then walked to my house.
I went inside and put my back pack down and went back inside and got on my bike. I rode of toward the bridge over the swamp. On the way Jake saw me and got his bike to tag along.
"Hi, Ian." Jake greeted me.
"Hi." I greeted him.
We rode quietly to the bridge. We were two houses away when we ran into Luna. Luna was with one of her friends Liaranne. "Are you guys going to the bridge too?" She called out to us.
"Yeah." I called back.
"Cool." She told us.
So the four of us rode on to the bridge. Somebody was sitting next to thier bike in the middle of the bridge. I reconised her. It was Erin. "Hey Erin, want to go riding with us?" I asked her.
"Ok I guess." She said reluctantly.
"You know what," Liaranne said, "We make a funny bike gang."
"Yeah, lets go mess with some Harely Davidsons." I commented.
We got to the other side of the bridge, Now we were in the middle of nowhere in the woods.
"Boo." I said blandly.
I saw Liaranne looking up. Then I saw Jake look up. Next was Erin, then Luna. I shrugged and looked up.
