Chapter 2 The First Day of Eighth Grade

The sun shone over the land of Trivialand. The city was always a beautiful place. Especially with the sun shining off of the windows of numerous buildings.

A small house in the suburbs of the city had a pretty good view of the city in the morning. The ranch-style house of Willy. The spinner who started it all.

"Wake up, my lovely kids, it is time for your first day of school. Come on!", Willy said as he gently opened the door to the six kids' room.

Everybody groaned.

"I don't wanna get up.", said Pop. Hector sighed. "Way too early.", he said.

Tina kept on snoozing. Albert awoke and looked over at Tina. " Wake up, Tina! Time to go!", he said.

Tina groaned as she slowly opened her eyes. "Never, please let me sleep forever!", she said, before turning the other way.

Albert sighed.

After everyone got up, they went down into the kitchen, where Willy was preparing backpacks and breakfast.

"Good morning, kids. Breakfast is served.", he announced.

Pancakes were made and presented on the table. Syrup and butter were available.

Everyone slowly and sleepily ate as they forced themselves to stay awake. Willy smiled in sympathy.

"Ooh, I know. The first day of school is always the hardest. Especially waking up so early.", he explained.

"No kidding. We woke up at 6 am!", said Bonzo as he drank some orange juice.

Willy chuckled. "Don't worry, the first day should not be so bad. If anything, you kids should just have today be about introductions, the class syllabus, and what you are expected to do during the school year.", he reassured. "Don't be so worried."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Soon, it was time to go.

Willy dropped off his kids at the middle school. The school was Trivialand City Middle School. The city's first and only middle school in their district.

"Enjoy your first day of school! I will see you at 4:00!", Willy shouted as he drove away.

Everyone looked at each other, nervously.

Tito, then, piped up. "Don't worry, guys, we got this. We have done 6th and 7th grade. 8th grade should be no different. Now, come on! The bell is ringing!"

And with that, everyone went inside and began to search for their own respective classes to begin their first day.

**********************

Hector walked down a hallway towards the middle of the school. He was trying and failing to find what he was looking for.

His first class was Shop class. He had no idea where it was. He, then, bumped into Tina.

"Ooh. Sorry, Tina.", he said, sheepishly. "I am looking for the Shop class but I can't find it.", he explained. Tina nodded. "Don't worry, Hector, it is over there where the bulletin board is.", she said as she pointed towards a huge board with lots of papers and notes on it.

Hector stared at the room he needed. "Thanks, Tina.", he said as he left. Tina left for her first class, which was Math.

As she walked, however, a blue sword was also walking past. He was not in a good mood. Far from it.

He was angry!

"Why did I have to be put in regular classes rather than AP classes? I don't understand! I am better than regular classes and THEY know it! Those stupid staff workers at this school have NO idea who they are messing with!", he ranted to himself.

The blue sword, named Rocky, was not a happy sword, with a happy life, no less. He was adopted by another spinner named Milly. The adoption was not a happy one, though.

Milly would always verbally abuse Rocky. He would always yell at Rocky for not getting any grade higher than a B plus. He always forced Rocky to join extracurricular activities, he forced Rocky to pass exams or face no dinner for the day, and he forced Rocky to take tutoring if his grades always slipped below an A average.

Rocky was always trying to make Milly proud of him.

It never seemed to work.

"I will get better. One day, I will have Milly be proud of me. And I will finally be the smartest guy in all of Trivialand! Mark my words."

The first day had begun!
