The Normal Life

Chapter 2

(By the way everyone Meet Cameron. I've known him for a few years and yes! He was this ripped when he was 17 so I'm able to still base his character off of him.)

Cameron's POV

Having now introduced myself, and also told these students who I am, It seemed to me like the atmosphere of the school changed. Essentially put, I was the child of celebrities, that made me a celebrity by association. I've had cameras near me before, mainly when I was younger, but I was a good kid that didn't get into trouble and the cameras went away unless we attended red carpets or premiers.

Cameron: "So while my parents might be famous, I'm not really, and don't expect to be treated as such. Just another kid like you guys."

Miss Halloway: "Lovely to meet you Cameron, now for your first task class, I want you all to write me a two page short story, this will not only give me an understanding of the level you are at, but also for me to gauge your seating plan, I'll place you all with someone you can either help, or learn from."

As she wrote on the board a few notes, I quickly jotted them down in my messy handwriting before getting back into the swing of things. I felt my phone vibrate but it was likely just mum, or my online friend Jennifer. She was pretty good at keeping tabs on any info I might need to know about me.

I liked making people laugh so I began writing a comedy short about a young boy trying to grow up normal except he lives with his family, who are all Psychics. And it's funny to me, or at least I'm laughing to myself so I think it's funny.

Miss Halloway: "As you are making a fuss over there Cameron, why don't you go first."

Cameron: "Dang I only have a few jokes."

Miss Halloway: "Is this class a joke to you?"

Cameron: "No I'm literally writing a comedy sketch, you said to write a short story and I like to make people laugh."

I went on to explain the story of little 14 year old Ben, who was just going through puberty and learning his body.

Cameron: "Ben cried to no one, Do you know how hard it is living with a family of psychics? It's horrible, I have no privacy and can't keep anything to myself, Hell I'm only now learning about my body and what feels good and they see it coming before I do."

I scored quite a few laughs from that one but the teacher just looked sourly at me, guess she doesn't like a good cum joke.

Cameron: "I mean it's torture. When I hear my parents or someone call out my name and expect me to go to them, especially if they are angry, it's no longer a matter of what did I do now. It's a matter of damn it what am I about to do that's gonna piss them off."

Getting a few more laughs from the class, even Miss Halloway broke a little with that one.

Cameron: "The last joke I had for the story was, Ben says to the audience, do you know the frustrating part about not being able to get away with anything, It's like I do something and I'm immediately questioned, sometimes before I do them. Ben are you doing something? No? Ben are you sure? Yes. Don't lie to me Ben? I can't lie to you. Thirty minutes later mum will walk in and say I've just spoken to the spirits about what happened and your a liar. Goodnight."

A few last laughs happened before the rest of the class began doing theirs. The last students handing theirs in for Miss Halloway to look at, right now though. I was anticipating food, as I was getting hungry. Following everyone else, I noticed them all heading back to he cafeteria that Josh showed me earlier. It was easy for me to find thank goodness, as I grabbed a tray and had the food handed to me. Which felt odd even if I wasn't home schooled.
