Do you want me to walk you in? asked my Mom. Mom, I will be ok, I said. Are you sure, she said. Yes, I said. When I got out of the car she yelled have a nice day! The kids all laughed at me. Seriously my step mom needs to learn that I am growing up she did this when I was in 4th grade and 5th grade but that was ok because I was in elementary school and everyone was my friend. Now the kids are just rude and mean and are a bunch of jerks and have forgotten all about me. I was thinking about doing something in school. There is so much activates you have to wake up weekends meeting after school, I said. Hey I know what will join, said Connor. What, I said. How about the wrestling team? Asked Connor. I love you Connor you have just thought of the best idea ever, I said. Will be famous just like the wrestlers on TV, I said. When we went to the 1st day it was not the way I hoped it would turn out to be. Michael I don't think these look like wrestling outfits, said Connor. Yes, I don't think so either, I said. Wrestling the boys here were so tough. Michael, how about you go first, said the coach. He made me fight this really tough 6th grader named Nelson. Hey is that Nelson who beat you up in 2nd grade? Asked Connor. Yes, I said in fear. What did I do that was so wrong to him, I said. Well you called him 4 eyes when he got glasses and you use to take his glasses off and run around with them on the playground, said Connor. I should have not made fun of him wish I could take it back oh well it is to late tell my family if I don't make it alive that I loved them, I said. I went up to Nelson. Remember this is a fair game, said the coach. So Michael you ready to fight put em up! Shouted Nelson. How do I fight? I asked. The coach didn't even show us. Nelson ran at me and knocked me to the ground. Then that girl Angelina took a picture of me. Great job Michael, she said sarcastically. Go Michael! Shouted Connor. I was so badly hurt my body was sore. I went to the nurse. My Dad had to come pick me up. I had to lay in bed for a week. Michael did you know we are getting a new president, said my Dad. Really who? I asked. Either it is John McCain or Barack Obama, he said. We need a new president because George Bush made such a bad economy. I didn't understand my Dad when he spoke politics I kind of missed the days when he was more of a mob boss. I came to school the next week. Connor how about we join the hall monitors, I said. That is a great idea, said Connor. Yeah will get to protect the school from bullies like Nelson he won't beat me up or touch me because I am a hall monitor, I said. We went to Mr. Hank's room. We both got hall monitor badges and vests and hats that said Flushing Middle School hall monitor and so did the badges. Your job is to walk home the preschoolers before school and after school, said Mr. Hank. The time slot is 9:00am when they go to school and the end is 1:00pm when they go home. This meant I got to sleep late and get hot chocolate after I finish my job. The 1st day we walked them some of them were crabby and tired. Then me and Connor saw that same red truck. It's those teenagers from Halloween, I said. Get down quick. When they passed they didn't know we were there. After School I wanted to teach Connor a game I liked to play street hockey. Connor remember this is a game where you are supposed to try to get the puck in the goal and keep it from other players but there is no other players so its just the 2 of us I said. Oh yeah do you have any equipment? He asked. Yeah I am on the hockey team, I said. I got on my helmet pads and roller blades. I had to help Connor get them on because he was not use to these kinds of sports because this wasn't his thing because he usually liked to watch TV shows like American Idol which I think is totally fake. Connor he was not good but I was teaching him. Also I had some hockey games on the days I was supposed to walk the preschoolers home. So how is the hockey coming along? Asked my Dad. Good thank you, I said. How about you start lifting weights, said My Dad. I just think I am not ready they are just to heavy for a kid skinny like me. This Christmas I got everything I wanted and Aaden was apart of our family officially adopted. Yes there was a lot of cases of money clothes sport items and best of all I got some Wii games and cousin Frankie gave me his old super Nintendo and all his games he collected to me they were really fun. I have to say Frankie is my favorite older cousin because he knows what to get. Meanwhile me and Connor were building a snowman and discussing what we got for Christmas. Michael, my Dad thinks you're a bad influence, said Connor. Why? I asked. Well remember that language we made up your Dad knew what we said and cracked our code, said Connor. So you want to play some ice hockey its just like regular hockey but you just have to wear ice skates. We played Ice hockey together. Until Connor slipped and fell on the ice. Michael I can't get up, he said. The next day I saw Connor in a cast.
