After the lunch bell rings Jimmy walks to Mr. Stone's class for P.E.

" Welcome students to Physical Education. My name is Victor Stone and I will be your teacher. After today I expect you to dress in a gray shirt and sport pants for gym, if you do not you will get a demerit, after four demerits you will receive a detention. Today we will be running laps." Mr. Stone says to a bunch of aw man, and no.

" Quiet!" Mr. Stone exclaims. " Unless you'd like to run even more laps I suggest you listen to me!"

As Jimmy and the rest of the class walk outside they feel the humidity of the summer day.

" Now start running!" Mr. Stone shouts and points to the track surround by a chain link fence and two football goals on the turns of the track.

" Excuse me sir," Jimmy says. " when do we stop running?"

" When?" Mr. Stone asks. " I was going to say four laps but now you'll run until I say."

" Way to go Neutron." A voice says.

" Yeah good going Nerdbomb." Some boy who knew Jimmy at Lindbergh says.

The class begins running on the track. The heat of the day, the humidity, and no water breaks whatsoever causes many people to after fifteen minutes be panting and completely out of breath.

" Come on ladies run!" Mr. Stone yells continually.

After thirty minutes Jimmy can barely run anymore, he lose count of his laps and his mouth feels like a desert.

Distantly the bell is heard at the school.

" That was pathetic!" Mr. Stone yells as the tired boys walk away.

Jimmy walks back to the school dragging his feet he accidentally knocks into Butch looking angry.

" Oh, hi Butch, sorry." Jimmy says trying to get around Butch but Butch keeps blocking his path.

" Let me tell you something Neutron." Butch says grabbing Jimmy by the collar of his shirt and lifting him off the ground. " If you ever do that again you'll end up looking like an egg without a shell."

" Um okay Butch could you let me down?" Jimmy asks.

" But Neutron don't you want a back to school black eye?" Butch asks holding up a fist.

" Break it up ladies!" Mr. Stone yells running up to the two.

Butch drops Jimmy and walks away.

" Are you okay son?" Mr. Stone asks extending a hand to help him off the ground.

" Yeah, maybe a scratch or two." Jimmy says.

" Good." Mr. Stone says walking away.

Jimmy walks into the school and looks at his schedule, Mrs. Geonard for science and then Mrs. Johnson for French.

" Oh yeah and that detention." Jimmy thinks.

Jimmy meets Samantha walking towards the stairs.

" Hey Jimmy, how were your 4th and 5th hours?" Samantha asks.

" Hi Samantha, not that good." Jimmy says.

" Why?" Samantha asks.

" Because, Mrs. Candora is boring as hell and P.E. isn't exactly my best subject." Jimmy says.

" Who do you have next?" Samantha asks.

" Mrs. Geonard." Jimmy says.

" Me too." Samantha says.

The two walk down the crowded stairs and towards Mrs. Geonard's class.

The room has about twelve tables that seat two people and six desks that seat one.

In front of the class a lady in her mid thirties sits on a stool in front of the class.

After the bell rings Mrs. Geonard gets up and starts to speak in a dreary voice.

" Hello students, I will be your science teacher. Today we will be reviewing science facts."

She starts to pass out a sheet of paper.

" This sheet tests what you should've learned last year, if you don't know a question then skip it. This will be due at the end of the hour." Mrs. Geonard says.

The class goes to work. The scratching of pencils fills the room. Some people look stumped.

Mrs. Geonard sits at her desk writing at her desk.

Jimmy looks at the sheet; it has questions like " Name the three states of matter" and " Name the nine planets and one or more of their moons" Jimmy breezes through it.

Jimmy pulls out a book and starts to read.

All around Jimmy pencils scratch and the clock ticks.

The clock reads 2:00 p.m.

" Only fourteen minutes left." Jimmy thinks to himself.

Fourteen minutes later the bell rings and Jimmy marks his page and closes the book.

Many students look nervous as they give their tests to Mrs. Geonard at the door but Jimmy turns it in with confidence.

Jimmy walks upstairs to the room next to the room next to the stairs.

Mrs. Johnson is a woman with blond hair, wearing a white polo shirt and tan pants she stands at the front of the class.

Jimmy walks in and takes a desk near the back. Several more people walk in and once the bell rings Mrs. Johnson begins to speak.

"Bonjour les étudiantes, mon nom est Mme Johnson. Bienvenue au Français deux." She says.

Everyone stares at her.

"Je vais seulement parler français cette année." She says to them.

" She's only speaking French for the entire year." Jimmy thinks.

Mrs. Johnson writes a sentence on the board.

" Essayez de traduire cette phrase." She says.

" What?" Some girl asks.

" She wants us to try to translate the sentence." Another boy says.

The sentence reads " La fille est belle. Elle des yeux sont bleue, ses cheveux sont bruns, elle porte un t-shirt et des jeans."

By the end of the class all that they have translated is " The girl is beautiful. Her eyes."

The bell rings and everyone goes for the door.

Jimmy walks towards Mr. Hart's room for his detention.

In Mr. Hart's room Jimmy sees Mr. Hart at his desk.

" Mr. Neutron very nice to see you. Sit down." Mr. Hart says.

Jimmy sits in one of the four desks lined in a row.

Samantha walks into the room.

" Miss Cruise how nice of you to join us. Please take a seat." Mr. Hart says to Samantha.

Samantha sits next to Jimmy but Mr. Hart's voice cuts through the air like a knife.

" Oh no, not there, over there." Mr. Hart says pointing to the desk on the opposite end of where Jimmy is sitting.

Samantha is about to argue but Jimmy gives her a " shut and move" look.

Samantha moves over and takes out a book.

" No Miss Cruise, you don't read here." Mr. Hart says.

" Then what am I supposed to do?" Samantha asks.

" Nothing except maybe homework." Mr. Hart says.

David walks in.

He sits down next to Samantha and sits quietly.

Melinda walks in about fifteen minutes later.

" Miss Carter how nice of you to join us." Mr. Hart says.

Melinda doesn't say anything as she sits down next to Jimmy.

" You're dead Neutron." Melinda whispers.

Jimmy gulps.

" Now that you are all here you will sit for the hour and either do your homework or do nothing." Mr. Hart says picking up the newspaper

Jimmy sits nervously; his eyes go so fast in every direction they could make your head spin.

On one side of him is Melinda smiling and filing her nails into even sharper points.

On another side is David writing something underneath his desk.

Jimmy stares at the ceiling above; a fly buzzes flying in circles.

Samantha turns her head to look at the wall behind her, Jimmy notices that her bounces slightly when she moves her head.

Jimmy looks at his watch 3:03; it'd only been three minutes.

Jimmy takes out his homework and starts to do it for math.

After Jimmy's homework is done he checks his watch 3:15.

" Could this go any slower?" Jimmy thinks to himself.

Melinda continues to smile an evil smile on the right of Jimmy. Jimmy takes out his world history book but instantly puts it back in thinking of that Mrs. Rose, she was the whole reason David was here, and it was Melinda and Mr. Hart's fault that ever happened, but it all led back to Jimmy and that night.

" No, can't think about that." Jimmy thinks.

Jimmy lies his head down on the desk deep in thought.

" I can't stop thinking about it. What had happened that night?" Jimmy thinks.

As Jimmy starts to think more about it he hears a newspaper slam against his desk.

" Mr. Neutron, this is not sleeping hour!" Mr. Hart yells.

Jimmy sits looking at Samantha, she is writing a paragraph for her Spanish class.

Jimmy looks at his watch 3:30. Why had he ever busted that party? If he hadn't been a baby and called the cops Melinda wouldn't be mad at him, he could have had a better first day and not gotten detention.

Jimmy takes out a sheet of notebook paper and begins to write on it.

Jimmy begins to write down a draft of his essay for Mr. Hart.

" Chapter one summary." Jimmy writes and underlines the title.

" Chapter one entitled, "Great writers of the nineteen hundreds" started with the writer…" Jimmy starts to write but trails off when a shadow looms over him.

" Mr. Neutron," Mr. Hart begins to say picking up the paper. " what is this garbage?"

" It's my draft of your assignment." Jimmy says.

" No, this is garbage." Mr. Hart says tearing the paper to bits.

Jimmy looks down at the torn paper. He feels angry but keeps his temper, he didn't want any more of these detentions.

As Mr. Hart walks away Jimmy looks at his watch 3:40.

" Thank God." Jimmy thinks.

Samantha has finished her paper and now is obviously deep in thought by the look in her eyes and her head swaying back and forth.

Jimmy pulls out another sheet of paper and starts to write random words in French.

Five minutes later Jimmy puts the paper away, it has many random French words written on it.

Mr. Hart, who has been walking around the desks returns to his desk, and continues to read the paper.

Twenty minutes later Mr. Hart gets up from his desk rolling the newspaper under his arm and says.

" Wow four o'clock already. Well you all may leave." Mr. Hart says.

Jimmy sighs a sigh of relief and picks up his backpack putting it over his back.

Jimmy walks out to see Sheen who was in the principal's office serving one of his many detentions.

" Hey Jimmy." Sheen says.

" Hi Sheen, how do you stand it?" Jimmy asks.

" Stand what?" Sheen asks.

" Detention." Jimmy says.

" Oh, well you get used to it after a while." Sheen says.

" Whatever." Jimmy says.

He walks out of the school and starts walking towards his house, as he starts to walk it starts to rain.

" Great." Jimmy thinks walking slowly home, the rain causing his hair to fall down over his eyes.

Jimmy sweeps his hair out of his eyes and continues walking home.

This seems as good as any place to end it. The next chapter will hopefully be up soon.
