Today is finally the day! I can't wait to ask Jessica out to the Vidalia dance! The Vidalia dance is a big deal in Mc Henry County. It takes place every year in Farmer Joop's onion field. There is dancing, mud fights, and onion smell as far as thee nose can sniff!
I rush to my dresser and put on a black pair of overalls and a white collared shirt. After finger-gunning myself in the mirror, I grab my back pack with my trowel and rush out the door. I stop when I arrive at school. I see Trout and Bradly picking each other's noses. I expect them to jeer me like usual but instead they turn their heads away.
Jessica walks toward us. She is wearing a black pair of leggings, a tank top, and a pair of rainbow crocs. "Howdy ya'll," she greets us. All of a sudden, Bradly pushes me aside into a nearby dumpster. I struggle to escape from the trash piles. When I finally do, I immediately look up. "So Jessica," Bradly says, "You wanna go to the Vidalia dance with me?" My heart stops. "Oh, erm, sure, I'd be fine with that."
The world is spinning so fast. I try to speak but my tounge starts twisting in my mouth. I try to breath but my lungs give out. "Oh, hey Martin," Jessica says when she sees me. I can find the words. I'm so embarrassed and shocked I scream the first thing that pops into my head, "JESSICAHOWMUCHDOYOUWEIGHT?"
Jessica shoots me a look of utter confusion and pity. Trout and Bradly start laughing at me. Everyone is starting. I can't take this. I swallow my few tears and I run. I run as far as I can back to my house. I bolt through the door and crash land right on my sofa. I cry and weep like a child. My soul has been crushed. My entire universe, imploded.
In the middle of my breakdown, I hear the house door open. "Martin?" m
My Aunt Bernadette says. I turn away from her and bury my tears in the pillows. "Martin, whats wrong?" She asks me. "Nothing. You didn't have to come home from work." I mumbled. My aunt looks at me and sweetly says, "Martin, I won't make you tell me what happened. I just want you to know that you can talk to me""It-its just that, I'm so dull compared to my classmates. I wish I could be more exiting and popular" I tell her.
"Oh Martin, you're an idiot. Don't you how amazing you are? Do you remember that time we were camping? When you asked me if you could catch the frogs and eat them? By the end of the day you caught so many frogs, I couldn't even belive it. Do you know how special that makes you?" She says."Catching frogs?!" I remark, "Thats not special in the slightest?!" She smiles and says, "Maybe not, but you did catch over 1,000 of them." I'm shocked. I remember catching all those frogs that day, but 1,000?!
My aunt says," You know Martin, maybe it's time I show you what your parents left you...I've been saving it in the attic for a long time..." she hands me a book,, but before my Aunt can say anything, there is a loud boom.
Outside the window a swirling light blue cloud fills the air, causing ice to fall down. "Oh no!! Not the turnips!" My Aunt screams as she runs to her turnip field. "Stay inside!" She shouts to me before she leaves.
I run to my room upstairs and hide under my bed clutching the book she gave me. Suddenly my room grows insanely cold and I am left alone. I peek outside my window and see the town going to chaos outside. Suddenly, I remember. The school! Jessica is still in there! I grab my coat, the book, and sprint to the school. I dodge the ice along the way. When I get there, there is a thick sheet of ice covering the school.
The class is still inside. I can hear and see them screaming from the other side of the window. Adrenaline takes over my body. I gather all of my courage and smash through the window...
