“I say we get the mean old man that lives in the green house up the street.” I said deviously. Jake and I both hated the old creep who still lived in his house up the street instead of a retirement home even though he was like, 96 years old. We ran up to his house and hit the doorbell. Adrenaline rushed through us as we sprinted away as fast as we could. The old man looked out at us and saw us and said “Get out of here you young whippersnappers!” This just made Jake and I laugh because, seriously, who says ‘whippersnappers’ anymore?
We did that for a while, until our parents called us home. We had to get ready for bed and school the next day.
I walked into school the next day just as it started. I had to rush to my locker and get all of my things for geometry. As I was running to class, Ms. Gritworth, the office lady, stopped me.
“Quinten Murray, is that you?” She asked. “And was that you running in the hallway?”
“Yes, Ms. Gritworth.” I responded.
“Well, here is a detention slip for running in the hall. I’m disappointed, I expected better, Mr. Murray. Now, go to class. I swear she hates me; she is always looking for a reason to give me detention. And the slip she gave me already had my name on it! I walked out of her sight and started to run again. When I got to class, the teacher told me I was tardy and demanded I sit down.
“Now that Quinten has finally arrived, we can have our pop quiz,” Mr. Tavitch told us. “Please get out a scratch piece of paper and here are the quizzes.”
“Quinten! Hey Quinten!” Jake whispered “Have you been paying attention? Because I sure haven’t!”
“No talking!” Mr. Tavitch scolded us. I stared blankly as my test because, like Jake, I had no idea what was going on either. “Let’s see,” I thought “the question: Solve the following equation using the substitution method. Show all work. 2y+ x=3 and 4y-3x=1. Substitution method? Did we even learn about that? And what’s all this about system of equations? Well, multiple choice, if I fill in a random answer, I have a 25 percent chance of getting it right. That’s how I filled out most of my quiz. When we graded it, I got a sixteen percent. That’s going to bring down my grade to about an F-.
“No homework tonight.” The teacher said, dismissing us. I met up with Jake outside.
“That was brutal!” Jake said “A 56 percent is going to bring down my grade quite a bit.
“You think you got it bad?” I said. “I got a sixteen!” Suddenly, Sherri, my girlfriend, came up to me, and slapped me.
“Quinten, it’s over.” She said.
“Why? What did I do?” I asked, rubbing my check.
“I heard from Trent who heard from Joe who heard from Greg that you pushed over Teresia, the head cheerleader and also my best friend at the football game.”
“No, that’s not true, well, maybe a little, but” I stuttered. But it was too late, Sherri was gone.
“Oh, I am going to kill Trent, Joe, and Greg!” I said angrily.
I finished the day and had Jake come home with me again.
When we got home, we decided to watch a movie. It was called ‘The Love of my Life.’ This wasn’t my idea, but my mom made me watch it. It was some story where these people fell in love and all that junk. Afterword, we went outside with our air-soft guns again to start another war until…
“Wait for me guys! I wanna play,” My (annoying) brother interjected. “I can be responsible. Just give me a little gun and I won’t cry I promise.” I looked at Jake and he looked at me, and we both winked.
“Ok,” I agreed. I grabbed the guns off the table and gave Sammy a pistol. We loaded up and went outside. “Ok, ready, set, go!” We all ran off in different directions, but I saw Sammy the whole time. After about ten minutes, I raised my sniper and shot Sammy again. He jumped up and down grabbing his butt while screaming. Jake and I snickered secretly. Now the war was really on, we fired and reloaded and fired some more. I finally sniped Jake and he fell over in melodramatic irony.
“Oh, oh! The pain!” he wailed. “Ahhhh!” In a final attempt to win, he fired the whole 100 round clip at me. Since I was hiding behind the tree, he missed most of them. After he finished, I stepped out and Sammy fired ten shots at me. I thought he had went to the house. But all of a sudden, my vision went back and I landed on my back.
