It was a quiet night in Retroville and Jimmy remains awake. It's been a week since the events of the last chapter and Jimmy's life has only gone downhill since.

School is just as bad as ever if not worse, Jimmy's grades aren't any better and everyone seems to take pleasure in seeing who can torment Jimmy the most.

" Why do I bother even going to school? I mean everyone at school hates me." Jimmy thinks.

Then Jimmy remembers Samantha, David, Carl, and Sheen.

" So what about them? Four people compared to like two-thousand." Jimmy thinks.

Jimmy is getting angry, he looks at the experiment he is conducting.

Jimmy screamed angrily and with his hand slapped the beakers off the table causing them to fly off the table and shatter on the ground causing blue, red, and yellow liquids to spread out and mix causing gross colors to come from the mixing colors.

" Oh man… Goddard." Jimmy says and Goddard walks up. " Could you clean this up?"

Goddard opens up the hatch on his back and a broom and dustpan and sweeps up the broken glass. Goddard then activates his vacuum and sucks up the chemicals.

Jimmy walks out of the lab and into his room. In his room Jimmy sits on his bed

Jimmy's mood doesn't get any better during the rest of the night.

Hours later Jimmy can't sleep, he tosses and turns thinking, he turns and looks at the clock, midnight.

Jimmy opens up his window and removes the screen.

Jimmy crawls out onto the roof of his house and sits there looking at the moon.

The moon seemed further away then it had been in June.

Suddenly this sent all of Jimmy's memories of the previous summer rushing back to him.

It had been a quiet night. School had ended the day before and everyone was ready for summer. Jimmy was in his mother's car with Cindy, Libby, Carl, and Sheen.

Mrs. Neutron thought that Jimmy and the others were going to a friend's party but in reality the five were actually going to a high school party that Cindy had some how gotten.

Mrs. Neutron stopped the car and Jimmy and the rest got out.

" Call me when I should pick you up." Mrs. Neutron had said.

" Sure mom." Jimmy said.

After Mrs. Neutron drove away the five headed in the other direction.

" So Cindy, where is this party?" Libby asked.

" It's somewhere over here." Cindy said leading the way.

After five minutes of walking the gang arrived on a barn type place.

" Here it is." Cindy said.

The five walked in to see a bunch of high school students partying to music with lights flashing.

There's a keg of beer in the corner with a whole bunch of mumbling high school boys.

The five split up and started doing their own things.

Jimmy walked over to the corner and did nothing much.

" Here take one." A boy said to Jimmy holding out a beer.

" Uh…no thank you." Jimmy said trying to walk away.

" Come on, you know you want it." The boy said.

" No!" Jimmy said but the boy grabbed Jimmy and poured the beer down Jimmy's open mouth.

Jimmy nearly gagged; the beer tasted terrible, like that rubbing alcohol that they used at the doctor's office.

Jimmy walked away; his throat still had the taste of beer.

Jimmy decided he needed some air and walked outside.

Jimmy began to walk down the forest path observing the scenery.

Suddenly Jimmy heard a girl scream.

Jimmy ran towards the sound of the noise and saw to his horror Nick Dean on top of a blonde haired girl, their shirts up and pants down, the girl looked scared. Nick Dean had his lips against hers to keep her from screaming again.

Jimmy thought that if she'd screamed so loud then she didn't want this, she was being raped.

Nick got off of her and began to walk towards Jimmy.

Careful not to be seen Jimmy ran towards the barn.

There was a phone in the corner near the door; Jimmy picked it up and dialed 9-1-1.

On the opposite end came a female voice.

" This is the police station, please state your emergency." The voice said.

Jimmy tried to speak but his voice wouldn't work.

" Are you hurt, or being threatened?" The voice asked.

Jimmy still said nothing.

The line went dead all of a sudden and 5 minutes later Jimmy still stood when from outside there was a flashing blue and red.

" It's the cops, bail!" Someone yelled.
The barn became pandemonium, everyone running and trying to escape.

Jimmy tried to walk away through the crowd of people and snuck out through the back, through the woods and to his house. Neither of his parents were home.

Jimmy comes out of the flashback, these memories make Jimmy's mood even worse; he crawls back into his house and gets into bed.

The clock reads one o'clock A.M. Jimmy has been on the roof for an hour.

Jimmy falls asleep and wakes up at three in the morning.

Jimmy sits up reading until six when his mom comes in.

" Jimmy get up." Mrs. Neutron says.

" I'm up mom." Jimmy says.

Jimmy gets dressed and after a light breakfast and a horrible bus ride later Jimmy is at school.

Mr. Hart's class, nightmare. He assigns them to read chapter 27 and write another four page essay.

Mrs. Rose, a better day than would be expected, David has seemingly won the battle between himself and Mrs. Rose, she no longer talks in her bitter sweet, fake voice, she doesn't even speak anymore, she assigns them to read another chapter and sits at her desk.

Mrs. Candora, more crap about algebra and it's uses in life, Jimmy zones out as everything turns to X's and Y's.

Lunch is another disaster. Jimmy can't seem to escape torment everyday. Today someone switched his lunch with another that is horrible crap.

After heaving his lunch into the toilet Jimmy goes to gym.

Gym is basketball today and Jimmy can't score a basket to save his life.

Science is good as always, today is plants again, they're going to have a test over what they've been studying.

In French another F is handed to Jimmy and more stupid translations.

When Jimmy gets home, he's an emotional wreck, he walks right by his mom and up to his room.

Jimmy can't take it anymore, it's just too much. Jimmy takes out the pocketknife he got for his birthday two years ago and flicks it open.

Jimmy brings the knife to his arm and slashes the knife across his arm. A red trickle of blood spurts out onto a paper towel Jimmy has set up. Jimmy then takes the knife and slashes the other arm, another trickle of red blood spurting onto the paper towel.

Jimmy looks down smiling, he has finally found a way to make himself feel better, self mutilation.

Well so ends that chapter. Next one will be up sometime soon.
