Chapter 1

It's a Saturday afternoon at Keller High School. Basketball Practice, Band Practice, Cheerleading Practice, and Detention all running at the same time, and by the same person. Some call him a god, others just call him Coach Anderson.

"Alright people!" Coach Anderson shouted at the students in Detention, "I've gotta go check up on the Basketball Team! Cell phones away, eyes forwards, and mouths shut!" Coach Anderson walked out of the classroom.

Oscar leaned over to Willow. "Hey I'm Oscar and you're?"

Willow leaned away from him in disgust.

"Disrespectful much?" Oscar asked.

"Hey Dumbass," Jason said, getting Oscar's attention. "She's ignoring you because you're a candy ass loser." Oscar ignored him.

"I know Oscar is kind of an odd name, but that was my mom's favorite uncle."

"That's not what your mama said last night, she told me she gets sad when she sees you." Jason mocked with a smirk on his face.

"I wish my mom could see me," Oscar responded.

"Oh, is she blind or something?" Jason asked.

"No, she's dead."

"Woah dude really? I didn't know. I didn't mean to say it like that, I mean I did but not like that."

"You're just gonna let him hang aren't you," Willow said.

"I don't know what you mean," Oscar said.

"Yeah, what are you talking about?" Jason asked.

"Your mom isn't dead you moron, she works at the Keller chemical plant," Willow responded.

"No way! Are you messing with me?" Jason asked

"You got that right," Willow sarcastically said. Jason chuckled.

"Do you know what I'm in here for?" Jason asked Oscar. "I'm in here for smashing a kids head on the sidewalk for messing with me."

"I didn't mean it like that. I was just trying to lighten things up. You called me a loser so I thought it would be funny." Oscar said.

"Dead mom jokes are hilarious! I know I laugh every time I think of my dead mom." Willow said.

"Your mom-" Oscar was interrupted.

"My mom isn't dead you idiot! But, don't you see how that's not funny."

"Yeah, no dead mom jokes ever again." Oscar apologized.

"Don't apologize to me. I'm in here for stealing. Jason is the one in here for cracking skulls." Willow said. Oscar started smiling. "What's so funny?" Willow asked Oscar.

"Nothing, I'm just realizing that you know where my mom works so that means you know who I am," Oscar said proudly. Willow rolled her eyes.

Meanwhile at Basketball practice. "Hey, Taylor! Do you have rocks in your shorts?" Coach Anderson asked.

"No Coach the only rocks I have are the ones I was born with," Taylor replied while swishing the basketball. Coach chuckled.

Suddenly alarms were blaring and a man on the intercoms started shouting "CODE NINE! CONTAINMENT BREACH IMMINENT! AERIAL CONTAMINATION DANGER! REMAIN INDOORS! CLOSE ALL WINDOWS! SEEK SHELTER! REPEAT-"

"On a Saturday?" Coach confusedly asked.

"Well if it's a drill we can ignore it, right?" Nelson asked. One of the band students ran outside and overheard him.
