And now....

Derek Jones and The Quest for the Lost Story!

(Wow, I'm surprised people haven't made fun of me for that yet.)

It's a Monday afternoon in the Saskatchewan Provence of Canada. A young teenage boy named Derek Jones stood outside of his small skool in the cold.

"It's cold." He said and looked around for his mom's car but she was no where to be found.

"Fine!" He said to himself, because everyone else had already left. "I'll just go on Wattpad or something!"

And so Derek Jones went onto Wattpad and spent a few minutes replying to comments.

"Ok... Thank you.... No I'm not in elementary school, I'm 15.... Yes, potatoes can be a good source of calcium if you dip them in milk."

Then he checked his texts...

"Sorry dude, I'm still at school. We can hang later... Listen, you're really nice and all but I don't really want to be in a relationship right now... Um, yeah. We have to read and annotate scene 3 in Romeo and Juliet, and that essay is due on Thursday."

And then, Derek went back and read the comments from his first stories because he's been standing outside for half an hour and is dying of boredom.

"Ha! I used to be so stupid!... Where did I come up with this stuff?"

But then, he discovered something very shocking!

It was so shocking that he just stood there and went, "Wow."

He discovered that he had deleted a story!!!!!!!

"Wait, wait, wait! I deleted that story for a reason! My sister messed with it!"

Derek was mortified that he had deleted a story.

"I really don't care about it!"

He cared about it so much, that his first reaction was to jump of a cliff.

"Wait, what?"

But instead, he vowed to find that story and post it for all to read.

"No."

Yes.

"NO."

Yes.

"NO!"

Yes.... And so Derek Jones then walked home because he had forgotten that his mother was still at work.

"This isn't over Narrator! You may be able to force me to walk home but you can't force me to post that story!"

But he was wrong.

The End.
