7. Suspicious

Chapter 7 – Suspicious

Comments from the author: Well, here's the seventh chapter for everyone. Thanks for the reviews, by the way. But first, I need your opinion (especially yours, AmericanDragonFan). I seem to know what happens in the American Dragon Jake Long episode, "The Hunted." I'm now thinking if I should do the Hunted on Jake's POV. Should I do it or not? I am asking this because AmericanDragonFan thought up of the idea on it first, but on Rose's POV. I will wait for five reviews saying yes or no… Anyway, here's the seventh chapter.

The next day, Jake was on his way to school. He was carrying his skateboard again, but he wasn't riding it. His mom watched him walk. She got suspicious on why he wasn't riding it.

She turned around. "Do you have any clue on why Jake isn't riding his skateboard?" She asked Grandpa. "Maybe after he kept tripping during training yesterday." Grandpa said.

"That's awkward because he also tripped two times last night before dinner. He tripped off the stairs and on his way to the dinner table." She brought up.

"I think Jake is hiding something." Grandpa said. Jake's mom considered this and thought hard on what he might be hiding. "I'll talk to him after school." She said. Grandpa nodded and headed for the shop.

Meanwhile at school, Jake was in mythology class with Trixie and Spud. "So, did your parents find out yet?" Trixie asked. "No, not yet." Jake said. "Yeah, maybe your mom will ground you for life if they find out." Spud said.

Jake nodded and stopped talking for the risk of not getting detention from Professor Rotwood.

After school that day, Jake headed off to his Grandpa's shop. When he got there, he saw his mom on the couch with Grandpa and Fu Dog next to her. "Uh, mom. What are you doing here?" Jake asked, scratching his head. "Um, Jake. Your Grandpa and I were just wondering about your number of times you tripped yesterday." She replied.

Jake gulped. 'Oh no, they might know.' He thought to himself. "Uh, I guess I was just clumsy." He said. "Jake, are you sure nothing's wrong?" his mom asked. "Nothing's wrong mom. I'm okay." Jake said.

"Alright, I'll see you later after training." Jake's mom replied, walking out of the shop. 'Phew.' Jake thought.
