ok this is an idea that I got from Jimmy and from reading Mystery's Mikes guide to surviving high school. so here it is.
Rob felt like he was facing the judgement of the lord. His Journalisim teacher stared him
down with an icy glare.
“Look Robert, I know your a brilliant student but I cant accept your paper, its coppied
word for word from another students.”
Rob’s mouth flapped open soundlessly. This was the seccond time this week that he had
to rewrite his paper on the school’s cliques. this was insane.
“But Mr. Balthzary....”
“No exceptions, I want the paper on my desk by tomorrow at 8:15, this one better not be
coppied.”
His teacher said sternly as rob left the room dejectedly. His friends waited for him out
side of the room.
“Man Balthzary is getting harsh, do you have any idea who’s stealing your stories?”
Rob sat down with Chester, joe, dave and brad.
“Where’s mike and Kelly?”
He asked as he pulled off his hat and readjusted it.
“Mike said something about meeting up with one of his cousins.”
Rob frowned. He was still thinking about this new chick that he saw today and she
slugged him because he accidentally brushed against her. A huge bruise had formed on
his left shoulder where she punched him. He twirled his drumsticks in a figure eight.
“Today has been the shittyest day ever. hands down”
Rob muttered as chester was throwing little berries at both brad and joe.
“What about that chick that hit you today?”
Rob rolled his eyes. He pulled his hat low over his eyes and groaned.
“Dont remind me.”
“Well looks like your **** outta luck bourdon, here comes the chick.”
Rob opened his eyes to see mike, Kelly and that chick that almost broke his shoulder
comming over.
“Hey guys this is my cousin, Ken these are the guys. guys this is my cousin ken.”
Rob lept to his feet instantly.
“Youre that chick who almost broke my shoulder!”
The girl stepped back from him as mike stood between Rob and the girl.
“Chill Rob, Ken didnt mean anything by it.”
Rob snorted and setteled back down under the tree. He had enough to deal with at the
moment. His teacher bustin his *** about the assignment, His parents thinking hes a liar
because his younger brother was doin drugs because his parents were always fighting and
school wasnt doing well for him because he was labeled as a freak but what took the cake
was his nightime problems.
“I’m sorry its just..”
Ken tried to apologize but Rob ignored her. Rob then suddenly got up and left.
“Mike maybe this wasnt such a good idea.”
Ken said as she sauntered off leaving Mike and Kelly alone with the guys.
“What the **** was that about?”
Joe asked as he looked between Rob and ken going in two seperate directions.
“Mike maybe things will get better.”
Kelly said as she sat down beside him. Mike laid his head in her lap.
“You guys dont know ken, she’s had it rough for the past three years since she moved
here to America.”
“What do you mean by that?”
Dave asked. Mike shook his head from his position.
“Well im not at liberty to say but yeah, things couldnt have been any worse for her. And I
thought things were bad for her where she used to live.”
Rob shut the door quietly as he went upstairs to his room and shut the door quietly. The
house was silent for the most part. he shut his door and watched the ocean from his
window. there was a calling to him from the waves. He pulled on his wet suite and
grabbed his surf board and walked down to the beach. He surfed the waves like He
belonged to him. Surfing gave him ideas and it allowed him to think with clarity. He
walked out back onto teh sand and stuck his board in the sand. He then turned and almost
fell over a girl sitting on the ground in the sand. Rob frowned as he knew it was Ken.
“I’m sorry i didnt think any one would be out here this late.”
She said as she stared out on the horizon.
“Its not my beach. you have as much right to be here as I do.”
There was silence as the last bit of sun came from the sunset. Rob frowned as he tried to
place her accent.
“This place reminds me of home.”
Rob sat down beside her.
“Where was that?”
“Melbourne.”
She answered as she continued to stare off into the sunrise.
“Where’s that?”
Rob said feeling a bit stupid.
“Austrailia.”
She said as she raised an eyebrow.
“Theres a reason why I dont take geography.”
Rob said a bit defensively.
“I’m truly sory about that lil bit of confrontation earlier. I’m a bit skittish about bein
touched”
She said.
“I noticed”
Rob muttered as he rubbed his shoulder.
“So what do you think about the school over here?”
“Its just like school over in Oz, but a bit too cruel for my taste. Atleast in Oz, everyone
was friends despite the cliques.”
“Well i have to have a paper due tomorrow for journalisim, do you think I could use a bit
of our talk for the article?”
“Go ahead. It might not be the best thing.”
“I think it is. an outsiders point of view on our school.”
“Gee thanks your such a yank.”
“Cheers, I’ll take that as a compliment.”
Rob said as he pulled a pad of paper and started taking notes on the conversation.
“Hey ken where were you?”
“I was out on the beach.”
She answered Mike as she came in to see him and his girl on the couch together. Mike
smiled at her.
“well my moms out late workin and dad took jason out to get some dinner. I left you
some pizza in the microwave.”
She nodded as she went up into the room that she shared with mike, She pulled off the
black Him shirt she was wearing to reveal a slender body with a tattoo down her ribs on
both sides. then Lightningbolts ran down the length of both her arms. She pulled her
Etnies off and sat cross legged on her bed and burried her face in a pillow. She missed
home so much. Mike knocked on the door.
“Hey ken, can I come in?”
“Its your room mike.”
Mike came in and sat down with Ken.
“Umm my friends are comming over, you want to hang out with us in the basement?”
Ken shrugged as she lifted her head up with her eyes red. Mike wrapped his arms around
her.
“I know you miss Oz and I know you miss your parents, but I promise things will get
better. Just come and hang out with us.”
Ken nodded as she sat up strait as the door bell rang.
They sat down in the dim basement with the lights barely on.
“Ok Ken, you already met chester, thats his girlfriend Fox, Brad and Monica, Joe and
Karen, Dave and Lindsey, this is Kelly, and Rob’s over there in the corner sulking.”
Ken nodded, barely acknowledging Rob despite their talk earlier on the beach. A storm
had swept upon the neighborhood in an instant and then the power went out. Mike lit a
bunch of candles that were sitting around the room. There was silence.
“Ken, what do you think about vampires and werewolves?”
Chester asked out of the blue. Rob started wincing as if he was hearing nails on a
chalkboard. He collapsed crouching down with his hands clutching his stomach as his
whole body started shaking as if he was having a seizure. Ken jumped forward and tried
to help him, Mike and Dave pulled her back.
“So this time hes the first one.”
Dave said quietly. Ken looked on in horror.
“You have to do something! he could die!”
Chester smirked at Ken’s panic. he could almost see the blood running to her face. Rob
screamed out in pain.
Rob felt like he was facing the judgement of the lord. His Journalisim teacher stared him
