Jack's Tales - Chapter 2 When Things Go Wrong...
At school that day, Jack was late. The school bully, Daren Green was following Jack around calling him names like “potty stall” and “the jackhammer” and things like that. He got a C on his test and tripped on a pencil. There was a substitute teacher who called Jack Jake, no matter how many times Jack told her his real name. “Today is a bad hair day,” thought Jack as he looked in the bathroom mirror and remembered he forgot to comb his hair. “What else could go wrong?” Suddenly, the loudspeaker blared, “Jake Stool, report to the office.” That was a familiar voice. It was the substitute! Jack unhappily ran to the office. “You threw sticks at the kindergartners, Jake!” cried the substitute. She actually had to leave class to tell him this. “This is a misunderstanding,” said Jack. “You’re talking about Jake Blunt! I saw him!” After school, Jack sat down on the bench, waiting for his bus. Suddenly, a girl walked toward him. “Hello,” she said. “Did you have a bad day? I can tell by the look on your face.” “Yeah.” replied Jack. “Hey, are you new?” “Yes,” said the girl. “My name is April.” Jack thought he had found a new friend.
