Time Surfers

The Beginning

Long ago in the small town of Keene Texas there were three best friends; Chance Lee, Genesis Harper, and Carl Hachette. They attended a High school called Smallville High. It was their first there and were in for an interesting year.

"Chancey!" Monica Lee called.

Monica Lee, a single mother had suffered the loss of her husband due to cancer. She was now struggling to mother twelve year old Casey and fifteen year old Chance Lee who today reluctantly refused to go to school.

"Kids, you don't want to be late for the first day of school!" she yelled

"I don't wanna go!" replied Casey.

Chance was on the couch talking to his best friend Genesis on the phone.

"I'll have to call you back." he said. Then he hung up the phone.

"Chance! Chance!" Monica yelled.

"What!?" he replied.

"Are you ready to leave?"

Yeah, I'm getting in the car" Chance said.

"Unless the car is long, yellow, and carrying tons of other children you're getting in the wrong ride" Monica said jokingly.

"I'm not taking the bus!" Chance said as he stomped down the hallway towards the front door.

"C'mon Chance, walk to the bus stop before your late! C'mon! Chop! Chop!" She said as she shoved them out of the door.

"Have a great first day of school."

As Chance walked up to the school he became nervous. Smallville High was a ghostly place. It had broken windows, broken toilets, and weird suspicious liquids oozing from the walls.

"Your typical Texas high school" Chance said less than thrilled."

"Whoa!" Chance shouted as he tripped over a kid.

This kid looked very pathetic. He was pale, short, wore suspenders, and from the looks of it got beaten to a pulp.

"Ow!" the kid squeaked in a small voice.

"Sorry!" Chance replied.

"Um I'm Chance Lee and I am a freshman here"

The small kid slowly stood up shivering and said;

"I'm Carl, Carl Hachette."

"Well hello Carl Carl Hachette. Looks like you got beat pretty hard. What happened to you?" Chance asked.

"Isis Major happened."

"Come Again?" Chance said.

"Isis Major in a senior here. He's a big time jock and a big time jerk. Don't tell him I said that!"

"Don't worry I won't. You don't look my age. How old are you?" Chance asked.

"I'm twelve years old. I skipped a few grades on account of being fully a certified genius."

"Well then. I can see why Isis picks on you" Chance said mockingly

"Anyways what classes you got?"

"I got first period history, second period Spanish 3, third period computer science, and fourth period Physical Education with Isis." Carl replied.

"Oooh tough break. Looks like we have two classes together"

"Really!" Carl said accidentally.

"Yeah, computer science and P.E.!"
