Jimmy walks in the door, he has a jacket on but underneath his clothes are soaking wet and his mom is standing looking angry.
" Oh, hey mom." Jimmy says taking the coat he just put on before he walked in.
" Where were you James Isaac Neutron? School ended more an hour ago." Mrs. Neutron says.
" I was in an after school program to help people study." Jimmy says as if he rehearsed it on the way home.
" Really." Mrs. Neutron says.
" Yeah, I think I'll go to my room." Jimmy says.
" Wait one minute." Mrs. Neutron says.
" Yes, what is it?" Jimmy asks.
" I got a note from Mr. Hart, it says he's given you detention for today and tomorrow." Mrs. Neutron says.
" Oh yeah that." Jimmy says trying to sound innocent and failing miserably.
" Jimmy how could you have gotten detention in one day?" Mrs. Neutron asks putting the front of her hand on her forehead.
" Mom, it wasn't my fault!" Jimmy exclaims.
" How could it not be your fault?!" Mrs. Neutron exclaims.
" Because some girls got in to a fight and since I was near them Mr. Hart gave me detention!" Jimmy exclaims.
" And why were you near a fight?" Mrs. Neutron asks.
" I can't tell you." Jimmy says.
" Well Jimmy, if you won't tell me then I'll have to ground you." Mrs. Neutron says.
" Grounded?!" Jimmy exclaims.
" Yes, now up to your room now." Mrs. Neutron says.
" Mom that's not fair…" Jimmy starts to say but is cut off.
" Don't tell me what's fair and what's not, now up to your room!" Mrs. Neutron says pointing her finger up the stairs.
Jimmy walks upstairs mumbling about something or other and maybe swearing once or twice.
Jimmy stomps into his room slamming the door again.
In his room Jimmy walks to his bed and sits down on it. Goddard walks up to Jimmy.
" Hey Goddard." Jimmy says happy to see a friendly face.
Jimmy opens the entrance to the lab from his room and enters the lab.
" Mom thinks she's so great and grounds me just because I get detention from that bastard Mr. Hart!" Jimmy mumbles under his breath.
Jimmy goes to his computer and begins to write his essay for Mr. Hart.
After an hour Jimmy is finished and prints out his essay.
Jimmy pulls out his World History book and begins reading the first four sections.
After another hour of reading Jimmy looks at the Retroville clock mounted on the wall, 9:57
" Shit, gotta get to my room now!" Jimmy thinks trying to hurry to his room.
Jimmy, as quickly as he can, hurries to his room and makes it just in time.
Mrs. Neutron walks into the room just as Jimmy, in his pajamas, jumps under the covers.
" Well Jimmy I'm glad to see you're in your room." She says.
" Yeah, night mom." Jimmy says putting down the book he was pretending to read.
She leaves and Jimmy turns off the light but he doesn't even try to go to sleep.
Jimmy sits up, his arms behind his head.
When the clock reads 5:00 a.m. Jimmy tries to fall asleep but can't and an hour later his mom walks in.
" Jimmy wake up." She says.
" I'm up." Jimmy says getting out of bed.
Jimmy changes his clothes without the aid of his inventions for once.
After this Jimmy walks to the bathroom looks in the mirror.
There are dark circles under his eyes, and his hair, normally resembling soft serve ice cream is all over the place.
After grabbing a waffle, and getting nailed by a crumpled wad of paper on the bus Jimmy arrives at his place of imprisonment, Retroville High.
School is just as bad as yesterday, Mr. Hart has the class read the second chapter and turn in the essay from yesterday.
" I wonder if there are enough chapters for the entire year?" Jimmy thinks reading the chapter.
Mr. Hart assigns them to write an essay on chapter two.
In Mrs. Rose's class Mrs. Rose has the class take a test on the chapter. Jimmy vaguely writes down answers not even looking at them.
When the bell rings Jimmy gets up and goes to math.
Mrs. Candora explains to the class what Algebra is, half the class near the verge of sleep.
Halfway through her long, boring, I-practiced-this-last-night-and-don't-care-if-you're-listening, the bell rings.
" Well time flies doesn't it. We'll continue this tomorrow. For homework write me a paragraph on algebra and it's uses in life after high school." Mrs. Candora says.
At lunch Jimmy doesn't eat anything and doesn't risk the lunch line. Melinda is absent for some reason.
" Probably out smoking." Samantha says.
" What?" Jimmy asks.
" I heard that she does it under the bleachers outside." Samantha says.
" It wouldn't surprise me." Jimmy says.
Jimmy walks into gym. Gym is an absolute nightmare, worse then the first day. Running might be bad but doing all those things like sit-ups, push-ups, and all those other things along with the fact Jimmy forgets to dress out make it worse.
Science is good. Jimmy gets back his paper with 100 and an A circled in the top right corner.
The class begins studying the periodic table of elements.
It's actually quite interesting, all the different elements and their classification in the table.
When the bell rings Jimmy closes his notebook and walks towards French.
In the class Mrs. Johnson sets the class to working on translating several sentences and once the bell rings assigns them ten more sentences for homework.
Jimmy walks to detention, it's just as boring as ever. Mr. Hart falls asleep forty-five minutes into the detention. He wakes up at the end of the hour.
The walk home is just as boring as ever and when Jimmy gets home it's up to his room.
