The Scientific Jerk

Chapter Five

My second week in torture town wasn't as horrible as the first one.

Cassy had told me the names of every member in the club. There was Micheal, Jasmine, Arista, Gavin, Rudy, and Storm. Storm is a really cool name.

Captain had actually started talking. He had given me several more shattering words in the past few days. He walked back and forth as he explained our next project. He actually had a really good voice. Like he could win like an award for saying inspirational speeches. Only if he gave any.

This is clearly unhealthy.

I mean he stands straight and tall with his hands behind his back. And anybody who sees him would think of him as a nice guy or a great scientist. Then he would open his mouth. And the words that spill out of him would break you into pieces. He'd never say bad words or cuss at anyone, it's just the things he says. They feel like a knife scratching on glass right inside your ears. What a jerk!

One guy from the club handed me a Science Coat, saying I have fully pledged to have a Science coat.

I walked up to Captain and asked when did I make a pledge.

"When you wrote your name in the sign in sheet", Captain replied.

"But it didn't say anything about making a pledge though", I told him.

"Try turning the page next time", he grabbed a small wooden box and walked away.

I was expecting that.

Let me just take a moment to explain. That coat is butt ugly. It's just simple white with "SC" written on it. Its like freakishly long, I mean the ends of the coat hang between the knees and the foot. I mean what is this? The 80's? Oh and did I mention that it's wrinkly? Yeah it's wrinkly. Like I random make pledge to be in a stupid club and I get rewarded with a rude science jerk and a ugly wrinkly coat. I mean the coat it seriously a disappointment. Dear Lord, please help the unfashionables.

I was also handed a paper that had the requirements of the next project. We were to create a small waterproof electronic. It says that it is suppose to stay underwater for approximately 5 minutes. It looked like a challenge but I was ready.

I spent the whole weekend working on it. I literally had to drive 80 times to store to buy everything I needed. I stayed up nights perfecting it. The only reason I cared about making this stupid thing was because I wanted to show Captain what I was capable of. I want to make him regret saying every word he said to me.

I had such a good feeling about my robot thingy when I was done. My parents and Cassy loved it.

That little electric thing twinkled and danced in the water. It made buzzing noise when it moved.

I looked at it and smirked, "it's showtime."
