I BELIEVE
Chapter 1 Todd Thomas Gordon
I am Todd Thomas Gordon. I am fourteen years old and in grade 8. I'm not a punk, jock, or a popular guy; I'm just an average guy who has two best friends and one girlfriend. I am not a genius. I do not make straight A's. I make B's and sometimes A's, or maybe either some C's. It depends weather I am in the mood or not. I get ticked off real quick if I don't get my way or the homework/schoolwork is too hard. If I'd smart-mouthed the teachers, I'd get a detention, which my parents would ground me. That is not always fair; well for me anyway.
Besides hanging out with my friends and girlfriend, I spend time with my parents, Lizzie and Gordo, which I just call Mom and Dad. I like to create videos, which I think I'd got that from my Dad. Sometimes he even teaches me to edit videos, add music and much, much more. Sometimes I would get very ticked off if I don't do something right. My Dad always tells me, "Don't get angry just because you can't get it right the first time. Just try again and if that doesn't work, then keep trying and you'll get it right."
In addition, I like to sing, which I think I'd got that from my Mom. I am much too shy to let anyone hear it. Come to mention it, my Mom seen me singing along with a song in my room last summer. It wasn't about ten seconds later until I noticed her standing at the doorway. I was so embarrassed. She had told me that she would get embarrassed if someone heard her as a teenager too. Now she sings all the time and does not get embarrassed.
Both parents are the best parents on earth, no wait, not the earth, the universe. I am glad that my parents got back together, because I would never know what I'd do without them being a couple again.
