Late for school

The green grass blew gracefully in the icy currents of the wind.

Potted plants were hung up in several greenhouses and gardens.
Creepy looking garden knobs stood proudly on mini toddler stools, scaring many trespassers and poodle dogs that walk by. Rough and bulky bulldogs stood guard of the heavily guarded electric fence gates, all covered up and buried under piles of dirt and vines.

Passing bus stops and gas stations and parks and clubhouses, Jason Cooper perfection-ally skated down the rocky petals of the sidewalk on his signed "I'm the best" black and grey skateboard. Ignoring the fact that he might end up crashing into a car, Jason gracefully zoomed and zig-zagged across streets and poles and signs, fifty hundred words popping and repeating his head: Late late late late late late late late late late late late late late LATE!

Time quickly sped up on Jason's new watch: 7:00am
Class starts in 15 minutes, if Jason doesn't step in the school soil before 7:15, he will end up in 3 whole weeks of Reflection Club where you are forced to do horrid stuff. Like serving the teachers like you are a slave, cleaning the dusty blackboards and carrying test books that weigh more than you.

Jason really wished he hadn't slept in......

————————————————————————

One hour ago, 6:00am, Jason Cooper was asleep on his bed. His bedroom was a COMPLETE mess.
Jason rolled around on his bed, groaning and complaining about how his alarm clock sounded like a straight-up fart.
"PPUFFTTTTTTTTT!" "PPPPPUUFFFTTT!"
His alarm clock couldn't get enough.
"PPPPPPPUUUUUUUFFFFFFFFTTTTTT!!!"

Jason smacked down his clock.
"PPPUUUUfffftttt....."
He rolled off his bed and fell flat face onto the floor that he has not cleaned in months.

"Ugghhhh." He groaned, scooping up his phone that he had got last week in his 10th birthday party.

He immediately brushed off dust and pushed on the app: Instagram.
Jason randomly pushed 'LIKE' -the little heart- on every picture he saw.

A person feeding a hamster.  -LIKED
Three drunk men hulking around like monkeys.  -LIKED
Monkeys hulking around like drunk men. -LIKED
Slime compilations. -LIKED

Edward, Jason's younger brother jumped in the room, slipping on a green coloured sweatshirt that was randomly lying on the wooden floor.

Edward slipped and was fligged up into the air, almost crashing down the newly installed black pains window which you could see NOTHING through it, totally useless- It looks pretty cool though to be honest - .

The room was a MESS. Garments and under garments were uglily sticking out of dusty drawers. Jason's old laptop sat awkwardly on the floor, being used as a sandbox by his dog, Trevor. Toy cars and trucks evenly spread out onto the ground like a boarder around Jason's bed. Nerf guns sat on stools and desks, ready for an ambush. Under the blanket of Jason, was a hidden small MEGA nerf gun, in case his dog decided that Jason's face was a bowl of treats. Trevor's small water and food bowl laid on the carpet, known as
'TREVOR'S TERRITORY'
On Trevor's neck hung a golden name tag that symboled that he was owned by JASON COOPER. A tall wooden quiver with a tiny strap filled with sheets of paper saying:

MISSING DOG TREVOR!
If found please call ... ... to reach Jason Cooper the owner.
In case Trevor gets lost.

Edward sat up rubbing his head, "Yo bro. Clean your room already."
He turned and his pain immediately faded away, "COOL! Is that a new G.I Joe?"
"No had it last year." Jason replied, clicking 'LIKE' on a picture of a python that was about to swallow a rodent.
Edward ran to pick up the underweared figure, "It looks like Superman!"
"I don't get it." Jason confirmed, "How come your school has a term break for a whole week? While I still have to go to scho——."
Jason panicked, his whole body sweating.
He turned around and faced the clock.
