middle school (short story)

It was a dark and stormy night! Nah! Just kidding! I wish! It was actually a bright and sunny day, too bright in my opinion. I flipped my hood over my head as i walked down the street, much better. I get to the curb where my friends were waiting. " What took you so long?" asked Roman. He was a theater kid, totally obsessed with disney.

" I just got your text, I was out the door in three minutes," I lied. I'm Virgil, I don't very well like anything, except dark eyeshadow. I'm not sure why these people keep me around.

" Yeah right!" butted in Patton, he could spot a lie from a mile away, and he loved everything to do with animals. He even volunteered our time at a shelter one time, when we were planning on seeing a movie. " You got our text, fell back asleep, and rolled out of bed with three minutes to spare," he continued, matter-of-factly.

" actually, he would have had to wake up with at least five minutes to spare," said logan, pushing his glasses up onto his face " at least, with the rate virgil walks at" logan was always the smart one, the one we go to for homework, projects, and all sorts of computer stuff.

"Ohh shut it four eyes!" I said, mildly annoyed that they were arguing about what time I would have to get up in order to get here on time. I was there, wasn't I?

" aren't you aware that patton has glasses too?" he said gesturing to the oblivious face next to him.

" well yeah but he's too cute to insult like that," said Roman, stepping in front of me as though he was a knight, prepared to take a sword to the chest.

" guys! Guys! Is this really how we want to start the first day of school?" said patton. He had a sad look on his face as we all remained silent and looked at our feet. " that's what i thought, now lift those heads and be happy! This is a new exciting part of our life! Let's act like it." the others smiled sheepishly, but I had a firm belief that this would be the worst day of my life. But I couldn't help but smirk when patton said " c'mon kiddo, if you get through today- the first of many days in middle school- unscaved, i'll bring you to hot topic and get you that coooool shirt you wanted" patton trying to seem edgy was the highlight of my day, seeming as nothing good happened besides that.

I headed to my first class- social studies- and got two sheets of homework! On the first day! Not to mention the kids who were mean to me in second period because I wouldn't talk to them. In third period i had gym class, with the same three kids who had been mean to me in second period. I was in the locker room stalling, waiting, wishing I would break my leg on the way out. I finally left the bathroom but as I stepped out of the locker room I was pummeled by dodgeballs. I know what we're doing in gym today.

Then there was recess Roman, Patton, and Logan had somehow already gotten extracurriculars to work on during recess. I was sitting on a bench writing a glorious novel of adventure, and entreigh. Then a voice in front of me - a voice I had heard many times that day- had broken my concentration with " dear diary, today I got my butt kicked by the coolest kids in school," it was those kids! Their names were something like Dieice, Depp, and Karl. Man I feel bad for anyone named Karl.

"What do you want?" I said, looking back down at my notebook, there was no way I was listening to these.... Jerks.

" woooo kid, no need to get defensive." Dieice said, a glimmer of mischief in his eye " we just want a sneak peak at the newest installment of your series." he then snached the notebook away from me and held it where I couldn't reach it. I couldn't help it, I just snapped. I punched him in the face, it was uncalled for I'll admit. But it worked, he dropped the notebook. I scooped it up, and ran. Around the corner, down the hall and into the nearest bathroom where I hid until the ugly electric tone told me that i had about a minute to get to class. I ran to my locker grabbed my books and headed to class, but after what I had just done there was no way I was ready to learn about pronouns. I sat, thinking about nothing in particular for several minutes, until the phone in the room rung. The teacher answered and said to the person on the other line
