Ruined--*ON HOLD*--

Chapter 1

Ruined

     Hi. My name is Jason Neal. I'm one of the clumsiest, dorkiest boys in Elbert Middle School. I live in Elbert, Nebraska. I have dark brown hair, and incredibly pale skin. My favorite color is green.. in case you were wondering. I have--

“Jason?”I looked up from my pencil-scratched, old desk. Mrs. Smith was staring into my dark blue eyes and draining them into nothing. Oh boy, another question. “What?”

“I asked you a question.” Mrs. Smith looked at me with anger and aggravation. I looked up at her and mumbled-“Uh... Yeah... Sorry- can you say that again please?”

“What is the square root of 64?” She was starting to look frustrated.

“Um... 4?” I guessed and probably looked like an idiot. “NO. Were you even paying attention? A square root is a —“I dozed off and looked to my right and spotted Hailey. She is so gorgeous...  With that beautiful strawberry blonde hair, and those glistening hazel eyes, she could be the most attractive woman on earth. Wait… why is everyone looking at me? Even Hailey?

“Mr. Neal?”

“Ye-“Wow! I slipped off of my chair! Oh crud. Now I’m even more of a dork. “Yes Mrs. Smith?” I repeat and slowly get up from my chair and hear a few giggles from the back of the room.

“What did I just say?” Oh no. She’s upset. I can tell.

I wait ten seconds and spit out “What did I just say?” Was that dumb? Probably a little bit. She stared at me with her burning eyes and looked like she was going to explode. “No, Jason. Before that.”

“Um... I don’t know.”  Hailey is smiling and looking over at her friends. I probably look like a nincompoop. 

“Well,” Mrs. Smith’s ears had smoke coming out of them. “Pay better attention in class next time.”

Before I could say a word, the bell rang. Yes!!!!! Finally! No more math! No more square roots! Time for… Science... With Mr. Erikson.

               After those last dreadful hours, I finally I make it out of that horrifying school and  get home to find mom scrambling around multitasking- making dinner, finishing work on her laptop, telling Kristen- or preferably known as Kristy- to turn down her music blasting from her room, and taking care of Marie. ‘Kristy’, my older sister that is in 10th grade, is the most popular girl in the history of popularness. She loves the band One Direction- I don’t like them whatsoever. She always gets on my nerves and talks on the phone about makeup, clothes, and boys. HOW LAME. Marie is my little sister. She is now 4 and screams like crazy, and also drives me nuts. See the resemblance? Maybe they both got so insane that it got to my head and now I have a brain tumor that no one knows about- which made me the clumsiest, lamest guy in my entire school. Great.

              Once dinner is ready, and I’ve finished all of my homework, Dad opens the door just a millimeter and I spot him right away. Yes! The one person that isn’t a girl in my life!! I run and jump into his arms like a 3 year old, and give him a big hug. Yup.  A three year old.

“Hey bud! I guess you missed me?” “Oh yeah. You have no idea what it’s like to be around so many girls throughout the day!” Except for Hailey. She’s different.

             We had pasta for dinner- the bowtie kind. My favorite! We also had leftover cake from Marie’s birthday a few days ago.  Chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and chocolate milk. Marie will do anything for chocolate. ANYTHING.

              Later we watch Alvin and the Chipmunks and head to bed. That was the weirdest movie I've ever seen! Marie really liked it though. Her favorite character was Theodore- the green chipmunk. She explained that he was the cutest, because he is so chubby. Mom told her not to call people that, and we went to bed.
