The Partner Project

Chapter 1

Hey guys! This is my first story on Wattpad so please feel free to tell me if I need to change anything. This idea kindof just popped into my head out of nowhere so please tell me if you want me to continue this story or not! Picture of Alex to the right ------------------>

The day my life crashed is the day my parents signed me up for the Partner project.

"Alex!" Mother screeched from the kitchen. "Get your butt down here right now!"

I groaned and put my PS3 controller down. "Why?" I yelled back.

"Son, get down here right now!" My father sternly ordered.

I trudged down the stairs and into the kitchen only to see an angry mother and a fuming father. Oh no. I'm in deep shit.

"What?" I snapped. "I was in the middle of a game."

"Do you see, Janette? This is the kind of behavior I'm talking about. He has no ounce of responsibility and respect in him. This is not the kid I have raised!" Father huffed and threw his hands up in the air. "Signing him up for this project will help him." He gave my mom a pointed look.

I, on the other hand, was confused. "Wait, what project?"

"This project is about helping students grow more mature and be more responsible but do you really think this is going to work? Especially with a kid like Alex?"

"Am I supposed to be offended? And what project are you talking about?" I grew even more confused as my parents conversed about this so called 'program' like I wasn't even there to being with. "HEY!" I belched out. "What the hell are you guys talking about?"

"Alex! Watch your language!" Father chided.

"Forget my damn language! What are you talking about?" I begged. My head about to explode.

"We got a call from your principle. Again. Alex, honey, what's going on? You used to be this innocent and respectful boy but now we're getting phone calls from your teachers and principle informing us about how you're skipping schools and getting in trouble! You're failing European History. You used to love learning about countries and all the kings and queens. What happened to that boy?" Tears formed into her eyes as she finished her monologue. But yet I still don't know shit about the program I'm apparently signed up in.

"Will somebody for the love of god please tell me what I'm signed up in?" I groaned.

Father spoke out loud. "Instead of suspending you, the principle came up with a compromise. A good one that will supposedly make you a responsible and mature young adult. You are officially signed up in the schools' Partner Project!"
