Grim Tales From Down Below: Operation: Happy Nation

Chapter I

"Come on rescue me, rescue me.."

As Junior stepped out of the bus, that was parked in front of the elementary school, he looked through the crowd of parents, spotting his parents Sis and Nergal senior waving their hands at him. He couldn't help but secretly stare at his father in disgust, was this really the man who made his future a living hell and took away the person who he would've shared his whole life with, but at what cause?
The ride home was silent and awkward, even though Junior was a timid and shy child, he was talkative towards his parents.
Sis then decided to break the silence, she turned to face the back seat of the car, where her son was sitting.
"So, how was the field trip? Did you get in any rides?"
Junior weakly smiled at his mother before nodding, however, he didn't have it in his heart to tell her about the halls of illusions incident.
"It was fine mom..the rides were alright..but the food was great.."
He softly said, staring at the window.
After they all entered inside their house that was located in the center of the earth, the young Nergal immediately walked towards his room, closing the door behind, before his father could say anything. He then began to pace around the room, deep in his thoughts.
What the hell is he supposed to do?
Should he leave this town for college instead?
He sure as hell he wants to get away from his father, but what about Jessica?
If he did move away from Endsville, then how was he going to meet her?
His thoughts were put on hold when he heard a small, 'ping!' from his computer, he turned to face the set up. Walking towards his desk, he looked at his logs.
His lime-green eyes widened as he saw the username of the messenger.
EmpressOfDarkness
Damn it, it was Mandy.
Junior sighed as he sat on his chair and started to message her back.

TentacleReader: Do you need anything? I'm quite busy right know.
EmpressOfDarkness: I know
TentacleReader: Know what exactly?
EmpressOfDarkness: About the Halls of illusions at the carnival.

Junior immediately frowned upon reading this message, seems like the blonde was always one step ahead of him..
He started to message back, he needed to be cunning, Mandy always did this, all she wanted from this was a reaction.
And he wasn't going to budge.
Not this time, nor in the future.

TentacleReader: Is that so? You know what, that doesn't matter.
EmpressOfDarkness: And why is that?
TentacleReader: That's all in the future. Going to probably happen in a few 10 years. Goodbye.
EmpressOfDarkness: YOU SPINELESS PRICK. YOU'LL BE NOTHING BUT A LOW LIFE THAT WILL JUST SERVE ME. YOU FU-

Junior then peacefully moved his mouse to the exit button before clicking it. He let out a sigh of both relief and frustration, he then just shut down his computer before getting up from the chair, walking up to his dresser, and lazily dressed up in his black and green colored button-up sleepwear. As he put on the bottom part he couldn't help but feel, disgusted?..
His stomach felt as if it turned and twisted, making slightly disturbing sounds.

'No, no.. This is just in my imagination.. Yeah, that's it..'

He thought to himself, even though it was a lie. What the mirror showed of the aftermath of how 'that child' was conceived, was sickening to say the least, never in nine years of his life on this earth had he ever thought, or even considered touching Mandy in that sort of way. Feeling so used and violated,
Junior started to immediately put on the pants of his pajamas, turning to head towards his bed, where his only loyal and beloved friend rested, that being his teddy Mr. Bonkers. When Junior was a newborn hatchling, his mother gifted him the stuff fair that she sewed herself.
he laid down on his bed, staring at the ceiling blankly, even though on the inside, he was deeply hurt he didn't help Mr. Bonkers close to his chest, thinking and thinking, before having the sudden urge to go through the school's yearbook. Junior sighed, lazily rolling out of bed, Mr Bonkers still in hand, he walked towards his school backpack, unzipped it, before pulling out the thick blue and white leather book, in bold blue letters saying,

'Endsville Elementary
Students of 2002-2003'

'Why am I even doing this?"

He thought to himself as he skimmed through the pages, he couldn't fight the urge, it seemed that he was trying to find something or to be
specifically, someone.

"Mrs Butterbean, Mr Smith, Mr Jackson..?"

Junior stopped immediately, he never knew a "Mr Jackson" taught in this school. He looked at the teacher's appearance, he had soft chocolate brown skin, brown eyes and had slightly wavey ebony black hair.
Having a small smile plastered on his face.
Junior started to skim through all of the pictures of Mr Jackson's students, and then his heart dropped once he spotted one person in particular, that being the brown-haired beauty that he thought he wouldn't have to see in about few years, that being Jessica.
She wore the typical white blouse and blue skirt, which was the school's uniform for the girls, and had her brown hair in a shorter cut.
However, he couldn't help but gasp, was this girl really at his school without him know or even noticing?
Junior couldn't contain his excitement and nervousness. He then looked at his calendar,

'12/14/03'

Today was a Thursday, and he started to prepare for his game plan, tomorrow was the last day of school before winter break started, he would take this opportunity to try to befriend her, and later on, maybe they'd run away together.
He then put his year book away, excited for what's to come tomorrow. He turned off the lights and crawled into bed before snuggling Mr Bonkers,
Before sleeping.
