Jack's Tales - Chapter 1

Jack Stall was an ordinary person. Well, he was until the day he met April Johnson. “Wake up!” cried Jack’s mom for the umpteenth time. Jack was watching birds outside his window with a far-off look on his face. “I don’t care what’s happening in La-La Land, I just want you to get up! “Maybe,” replied Jack in a lazy drawl. Although Jack hadn’t noticed, his mother’s face was as red as a lobster. “Okay,” she calmed down a bit. “I’m leaving this room for one minute and if I come back and you’re still in bed, you lose your video games for a week.” The word “video games” got Jack’s attention. He hopped out of bed, but CRASH! tripped on his blanket and landed in a heap. “Another bad hair day,” said Jack. Luckily, the day couldn’t be so bad because Jack couldn’t get up on the wrong side of the bed. One side of his bed was against the wall, so there was only one side to get up on. Jack stood up with his blanket tangled around him just as his mom came in the room. He gave her a sheepish grin. “Wrong side of the bed?” he asked.
