class: English
Mikey in his desk looks at the teacher in front of the class in an attempt to understand and figure out what the teacher is talking about as she is writing on the board. Bored Mikey begins to doodle on his notebook drawing a spider like super hero in various designs imagining what he would look like if he were a spider creature and not noticing the teacher approaching him.
Teacher: are you listening, Michael or are you too busy drawing?
Mikey: uhm.. yes. i'm listening, Miss. Vandenhoff.
Miss. Vandenhoff : good. now you can go up to the board and find all the subjective Pronounce.
Mikey embarrassed walks up in front of the class as he reads the sentence struggling to remember what a subjective pronoun is, circling a few words he finishes, The teacher unimpressed stares at Mikey as she orders him to sit back down.
Miss. Vandenhoff: take your seat, you little carrot.
Insulted Mikey sits down while the teacher corrects his errors and stresses the importance of paying attention in class, As she continues to lecture the bell rings announcing lunch time. the students immediately pack their bags ignoring the teacher as they run passed her. Mikey walking out toward the hall is approached by his best friend Nathan who puts his arm around his shoulders..
Nathan: why so down, bro?
Mikey: stupid teacher embarrassed me in front of the class.
Nathan: it happens, come on they are serving meatloaf today..
Mikey: save me a place in line i have to go the nurses office real quick.
Nathan: why, you sick?
Mikey: i might have a slight fever.
Mikey walking away from his friend Nathan heads to the Nurse's office as he enters knowing no one would be there, hurriedly he looks for a syringe pack looking through the drawers finally finding one and putting it in his back pack.. cautiously he heads out toward the hall and to the cafeteria where his friend Nathan is waiting in line for him. Mikey passing the other students in line cuts in alongside his friend..
Nathan: so?
Mikey: no one was there.
Nathan: what did you expect.
it's a public school..
Mikey: yeh.
Nathan: man, i wish we were juniors or seniors than we could drive off campus for lunch.
the girls would follow us cause we would have cars, it would be awesome..
Mikey: but they would only want you b/c of your car..
than would be using you.
Nathan: so what?
everyone uses everyone one way or another.
i dont mind.
Mikey approaching the server puts out his tray as slop of food is slapped on his tray, slightly disgusted Mikey stares and walks away with his school served food. Both boys looking for a place to sit and deciding to sit with the group of freshmen at an open table, sitting down they are greeted by old elementary school or middle school friends. Mikey smiling says hi to those he recognizes as he eats his food while they all talk about the latest sitcom on T.V. and what actor actress is hot.
time: 2:30 pm
the school bell rings announcing the end of the day as kids run out the halls to the parking lot to their parents and family friends who are there to pick them up. Mikey heads to his locker to grab his neighbor's leather jacket and runs off to the school bus area running past his friend as he waves him goodbye.
Nathan: see you tomorrow!
Mikey: yeh, call me!
Mikey boards the bus taking a seat near the window while others crowd forcing him to hug his back pack on his lap, Mikey looking up at the boarding kids sees a young girl with green eyes who smiles at him as she walks bye. Mikey bashfully smiles thinking to himself she is cute, the bus finally locks its doors as it takes off back to the rural area of city. Mikey looking out the window watching the scenery change from a concrete, glass buildings to the large bridge with sea water beneath it and finally Maple trees as they approach his area. The bus driver stops to let out a few of the students one of them being the cute green eyed girl which Mikey stares making a mental note of her bus stop location a few blocks from his own.
Mikey finally arriving at his stop gets off and walks to his house thinking to himself it wasn't such a bad day and musing to himself about how great it was for his neighbor to punk, Billy the football player. As he approaches his house he looks at his neighbor's house realizing he is not yet home and his own drive way empty, his sister not yet returning from work.Mikey marching to his room throws his backpack and the leather jacket on his bed, smiling he pulls out the syringe from his backpack as he contemplates the possibilities of being a real life super hero like the ones from the movies or the guy that is talked about on the news, the flying guy maybe the Sgt Major guy that works for the government sponsored super team..
