Can You reach the moon?

Chapter Seven

We entered the computer room the next day. Me, Charles, Roderick, Teddy, along with the three girls, Rosalina, Rachel and Micah. Five of them (Charles, Teddy, Rachel, Roderick and Micah) were glaring at me. Rosalina was clutching a book to her chest. The other groups stared at us, when we all started arguing- except Rosalina. I felt sorry for the other groups because this was a test. I hope that they felt sorry for me and Rosalina.

We sat down on the carpet. "No computers. Just the test" Micah explained. "I know" Rosalina mumbled. We each had a book and place our tests on. We started scribbling down the answers. I did my best. But on my worst subjects-Mathematics and History, I couldn't really get it right. But I knew most of it. Maybe two or three questions were wrong, but I doubt it that Rachel will have no trouble at all. I was right! She only studied astronomy! Woohoo!

After the tests, we all had lunch. I opened up my lunchbox and ate on my sandwich, took a sip of my water and quickly went up the large tree first before the other guys could. This was my chance to make them know that I'm not a smart little weakling. I rested my back on the largest tree branch and ate marshmallows from a packet that I bought earlier in the morning. The group of boys came. "That's ours" Teddy said. "No, It's the school's" I replied. "We can call it whatever we like James!" "You can call it whatever you like-but it's still not yours". I sat up. "You'll fall" Roderick called quietly. "I'm not going to fall. I'm in the middle. I can't fall. I've got something called balance". "Get off the tree!" Charles shouted. "Or I'll break your glasses!" I put my glasses in my pocket. "You can't break my glasses now". I put them in my case. "GET OFF THE TREE!" All three of them demanded.
"What makes you say that?" "It is OURS" "Yeah, were you listening? I said that it's the school's"
Charles climbed up the tree, the boys shouting "CHARLES! NO. NO. NO."
I planned to hop off to another branch but he caught my neck before I could hold on to the leaves. "Get off!" And he began swearing in my face. "A-a-aren-aren-ar-are-aren't w-we f-friend-s?" He squeezed my neck, making me choke. I started screaming for oxygen, legs kicking in the air, people around me shocked until Teddy and Roderick had the nerve to run up to the teacher before I was sure-as dead. "Listen to the big boys you piece of-"

"CHARLES!"
"Yes!?"
But everything went black in my sight. I felt killed. I felt as if I wasn't a human. I heard screaming. I heard shouting. I felt something, something that was heavy and was wrapped around my neck drooped down and I felt like being abandoned and thrown off in a waterfall, just to be caught by a pair of hands. I felt lifted all the way... But that seemed to be it. Was I dead? I couldn't be...
