Jonathan's Journal Rewritten: Entry No. 1 (The Seven Deathly Souls)

Monday, July 9th, 2001

     Oh man, today was a crazy day, where do I even begin...? Alright well, I woke up extremely late. My alarm's sound wasn't working so I only had like 3 minutes to get to the bus stop before I was forgotten about. I put on whatever clothes I had, Iby lended me his skateboard the other day after the incident with Alan to have more practice (I forgot to write that in here before). I grabbed my bookbag and bolted out the door. I had some experience on the skateboard, I was getting better at it so I was zooming down the sidewalk trying my best to get to the bus stop as fast as possible. I hoped the gang wasn't worrying about me too much. 

     2 minutes later, I was close to the bus stop, I saw the bus stop nearby the gang and some others. I knew I was too late, so I risked it and headed towards the restricted construction site right to the left of me (I was on the other side of the sidewalk, the bus was across from me). A construction worker tried to stop me but I flew right past him and knocked him over. "You lousy kid!" the guy shouted. "Sorry!" I yelled back as I was speeding on my skateboard. I spiraled into a concrete cylinder and hopped out of the other end on a support beam. I grinded off and headed towards the woods. When I entered the woods, I put up my skateboard and started running. 

     I heard some howls in the distance. "......crap....." I said in a whisper to myself. I looked behind me and there was a pack of coyotes on my tail. They knocked me into the air. "AAAAHHHHHH!" I screamed. I then gracefully landed on top of one of the coyote and blinded it. It then knocked over the other coyotes out of the way. I pulled some rope out of my backpack and then pulled it between its jaws. I now had full control of the blinded coyote. I made my way out of the woods and headed towards the up ahead river. The coyote stopped in its tracks and threw me off of it then it ran away. "OOF!" I looked down at the river, then I looked up at the bridge overhead and saw the bus passing by. I hopped onto a stone, then I skipped to a dead log and jumped off of it before it snapped, then I flipped onto the next stone and almost lost my balance. Phew, glad I didn't, huh? I finally made my way to the end of the river and began climbing up the hill after it. My hand slipped and I was hanging on the edge of the bridge. "Wha-wha-!" I yelled. I struggled, and struggled, but then I finally was able to get a stable grip and climbed up safely. I then pulled out my skateboard again and started my way towards the school at a fast pace. 

     20 seconds left until class started. I skateboarded to the side of the building and climbed my way towards my classroom window. I heard kids counting down "10....9....8....7....6....5...4...3...2..." I jumped through the window and into my desk like nothing ever happened. The other kids in the class all sighed, why did they though? Oh well. The bell finally rang after I sat down. "YES!" shouted Luis. "Wh-" stuttered Braydon. Luis started laughing. Alan remarked, "I think Luis is gonna get jumped." "Congrats Luis" Braydon said to Luis. I saw Iby throw his sandwich onto Luis' desk, and soon after that, there was a whole pile of food there. "Louis boutta be a kid diagnosed with obesity" snarked Alan. Braydon laughed at that. Luis whispered to me that he won a bet about me coming to school before the bell rang. Good for him I guess. Soon after that, the teacher finally came in and started talking about some boring nonsense. I'll just skip ahead, kay? 

     After school, I saw Luis staring at a photo with a horrified look on his face. "You've been staring at that picture for the past 7 hours and you've had the same reaction ever since," said Braydon to Luis. I went up to Luis to ask what it was, and he showed me it. ...... IT WAS A PICTURE OF THE HOTTEST GIRL IN THE GIRLS LOCKER ROOM!!! Luis told me it was from the teacher's secret locked drawer. WHY THE HELL DID HE HAVE THIS?! I'm surprised no-one reported this sooner, though then again it was locked beforehand. Alan said he had opened it with a bent paperclip that Braydon pointed out was in the teacher's pencil cup holder. Luis then handed it to Iby because Alan asked him to analyze it more. 

     A bunch of kids ran past us and knocked everyone over, and it resulted in Iby dropping the photo into a nearby sewer grate. The kids shouted, "Watch it fags!" I got back up on my feet and helped the others up and asked if they were okay. They all replied with a "yeah", but Iby said he dropped the photo into the sewer grate. I...hesitated an answer, but I said we could get it when no one's around. Iby then said we could meet back here at 9, and everyone agreed. 

     I suggested we take the shortcut home, and everyone (again) agreed. I walked off as everyone followed me. Luis kept being a pussy (sorry Luis) even though we've been through here before (I just never documented it). Iby and Braydon kept making him scared, and then I scared the living hell out of him. I stopped in my tracks and said "Shhh...you guys hear that..?" "It's coming towards us.....Listen....It's creeping......and it's about to..." I got up in Luis' face and screamed really loud. The rest of the gang laughed, and I laughed too. Luis was pissed. He quickly got over it as we continued through the woods. We finally exited the woods and set our backpacks down by the Special Tree (Luis and I call it that). We sat there until 9, talking about the stars and what's beyond that. Luis said there might be naked women beyond the stars....what the hell is he even saying...?
