The house on maple street

chapter 2

i sprint with my friends as fast as i can down the hallway of the school. As i run my friends would slowly walk in there classrooms one at a time. But my classroom is at the end of the hallway so i have to run.

i open the door to the classroom with mikey next to me out of breath we walk to our sets but when were about to sit down Mrs. Craddy yells at us " WHY ARE YOU TWO LATE!" i slowly speak up " we-we didnt hear the bell Mrs. Craddy."

"WELL TO BAD! BOTH OF YOU AFTER SCHOOL DETENTION!"

we instantly shut up look down at our desks. it was near to the last day, three days till summer break and we just messed it up. See all of our parents told us we could got to florida for the summer if we had gotten good grades and stayed out of trouble. Today Mrs. Craddy just ruined our summer.

At lunch i sit with my friends, mikey to my left john on my right and terrence and john ahead of me. we also sit with all the girls currently falling for mikey, it seems none of them are paying attention to me, john or terrence. just dominik and mikey.

A hand grabs my shirt coller and im flown back out of my seat. all the girls quikly leave and my friends stand up to defend me if they can. but the person who assaulted me if far beond there reach.

skyler is the meanest guy in school. he picks on his own friends and more girls fall for him then even mikey. brown hair with blue eyes. he is the star in every categorie of sports and school. hes not very bright but still can come up with new ways to torture us. Alex and James are his 'followers'. they follow him around every were and they be his friends. and in return they dont get picked on.

Alex is the brains of the treo. hes probly as smart as john but is way taller and a lot skinnier. James on the other end is as dumb as a rock. no wait let me take that back, a rock is probly smarter then him. he can walk talk and breath. he knows his ABC and his 123's but cant answer questions right. he literally messes up for 'fun' as he says. but dont get me wrong hes not retarded or anything hes just a little slow.

by this time skyler and his goons push us outside the school fence to the other side of the street. i thought this was ganna be a simple beating but he didnt touch us. he just stood there looking at us with hate.

" it was you wasnt it!" he ponts a finger at me. " me what did i do?"

" at the beggining of the year when we were in P.E. your the one that took my cloths wasnt it!"

i instantly start laughing along with my friends who are also laughing. see at the beggining of the year skyler pushed me to the grownd when we were doing track and it made a cut in my arm, so the couch told me to grab a buddy and goto the locker rooms to clean it out. I tell Terrance to come with cause he looked mad at skyler for hurting me. ( Terrence is very over protective) so we head into the locker room to get it clean and he goes over to skyler, Alex, and Jame's locker opens then takes all there cloths and stuffs it in his backpack.

"what are you doing?" i ask

all he does is looks at me then smiles and i understand so i smile to.we leave to the office and i take his backpack i call home and im aloud to go home to my parents for my cut. when i walk home i open my trash bin and shove there cloths in it. the next day Terrence shows me this video of them trying to find there cloths but there all naked. so they have to use lost-n-found cloths the entire day and it makes them look so stupid that everyone laughs at them for it.i guess someone found the video nd some how tracked it to us.

He punches me in my gut just before micky grabs me and tells me to run.
