Counting Stars

Chapter 1

I remember the day I found the site that started it all. That day was the worst day of my life, but the best in a way.

<<the day it all started>>

"Ok class before the bell rings I'm going to hand out your report cards." My teacher, Mrs.Stillwell, handed out the report cards and she gave me mine then my friend hers.

"Shit! I hope I did well." I whispered and I felt my friends hand on my shoulder.

"It will be ok Adam. Let's open ours at the same time ready?" my friend, Jordan, said and I gave her a small smile.

"Ok 1...2...3!" We opened up the folded pieces of paper...and I was filled with dissapointment. All D's and F's exept for the usual A in english. I always seem to do well in that class.

"Yes all A's! How'd you do Adam?" Jordan asked. You see we both used to be straight A students til we hit 9th grade last year. That's when everything took a turn for the worst for me.

Jordan looked over at my report card,"Oh Adam...maybe I'm a bad tutor. We worked so hard." Jordan has been tutoring me since winter break ended...it's not her fault that my brain is like a black hole.

"No it's not your tutoring I'm just going through somethings at home." The bell for lunch rang and Jordan and I bolted out of our seats and ran out the door.

"Hey guys!" A voice said from behind us. We turned around.

"Oh hey Jenny!" Jordan said as Jenny ran up and walked on the other side of me.

"So how'd you guys do on your report cards? I got B's and C's." Jenny asked as we sat down at our usual table and I froze.

"Jenny seriously look what you did. Adam doesn't feel like discussing it right now." Jordan then poked me but I didn't react.

"Whoops haha maybe I should just shut up now." Jenny said as Ryan,sam and ricardo sat down. Ryan looked at me as he sat down.

"Adam's frozen?" Jordan and Jenny nodded and Ryan smacked the back of my head. I unfroze after he did that.

"Ow a little softer next time buddy." I said with a chuckle. I then took my notebook out of my backpack along with a pencil and I began to write, like I usually do at lunch while I eat and talk with everyone.

"Adam how you coming along on your book?" Sam asked as I finished the last paragraph on a chapter.

"Pretty well. I wish I could let other people, other than you guys, read it." Jenny perked up after I said that.

"I know what you could do, you could put it on wattpad." I looked up from my note book and gave her a confused look.

"Wattpad? What's that?"
