Joey, chapter 5
I woke up the next morning, and sighed. School today. I pulled on some clothes and went downstairs. There was some breakfast on the table I poured spme cereal and sat down.
"Hey pea-brain" I said to Jakob.
"Shutup!" he replied, flicking a fruit loop at me. I got a fruit loop and flicked it at him. It hit him on the forehead.
"Mom! Joey is flicking cereal at me!" Jakob cried.
"Tell tale" I muttered.
"Joey be nice to your brother!" My mom yelled, frustrated.
I was out to school within half an hour. I met up with Kris on the way. When we got to school we just stood around waiting for the bell to go.
"Um I'm gonna go fi--" I cut him off.
"Abby?" I asked. He nodded.
"See you in geography" He said walking off. Didn't I tell you? I would be left alone while my friends went off with their girlfriends. I decided to go to my locker and but my bag in. As I walked along the corridor, I saw an amazing girl. She smiled and waved at me as she walked past. I smiled, andd waved pathetically. When she was gone, I smacked myself in the head. I porbably looked like a right retard waving like that!
"Great geography!" I said sarcastically, as I sat down next to Kris.
"Yeah sure" he said not really bothered, as Abby was walking in. I sighed and leaned back in my chair. I fell into a daze as the teachers words bore into my mind. All of a sudden, something or someone caught my attention. It was the girl I waved pathetically at. She was standing at the front of the class.
"Class this is our new student, would you introduce yourself please?" Mrs Stone asked,
"Uh hi, my name is Stef, I moved here from Boston." She told everyone. Suddenly Geography got interesting.
"Right Stef go sit down there, at the back next to... Mr Armstrong" She said in an unimpressed manner.
"Hi" she said as she sat down.
"Uh..um.. Hi!" I said, stuttering. Such a prat! She's smiling! Just smile back. She giggled. I turned and for once, I listened to the teacher.
It was lunch time, I was sitting outside on my own, eating. She walked past, and then back tracked.
"Hey um can I sit there?" she asked.
"Y-y-yeah" I stumbled again.
"Heh, thanks" She said taking her bag off her back and getting her lunch out.
"So, uh what's your name, or must I cally you Mr.Armstrong as well?" She joked.
"Um I'm Joey" I told her.
"Cool." She replied. My heart was beating really fast. I hadn't felt this way about girls. Maybe she was different. I don't wanna take that chance... Yet.

Well at last another boring school day over. Just, I have to go back tomorrow.
"Dad!? Can I please play guitar?" I begged, as I walked in the door.
"Nope, I said a week. Your attitude to your mom was terrible" He said simply.
"Please dad! Think of it this way! What would you do if I took your guitar off you?" I asked him.
"I would take it back off you and smack you over the head with it! Don't mess with my guitar" he said.
"Heh, heh please?" I pleaded.
"You have 20 minutes in counting. I will be upstairs and locking it away after that" he told me.
"Why don't you just get it now? Oh wait never mind you are giving me time." I said.
"And the reason is, I can't be bothered to get off the couch right now, and Recess is on" my dad said happily.
"Sure whatever, I'm going." I said running off to play my guitar, before she got locked away. Twenty minutes soon passes though.
"Right come on Hilda" my dad said, turning off the amp and unplugging it.
"Hilda?" I asked confused.
"Yeah I named her Hilda. Hilda happens to be my friend, and she has been so good to me, she gets to spend a week all alone in my studio in a nice guitar case" My dad said innocently.
"Please dad can I keep my guitar?" I begged one last time
"Nope, sorry Joey I am standing by my punishment this time, you need to learn" he told me, then walked out of my room, with "Hilda". What a crappy name.
"Hey pea-brain" I said to Jakob.
"Shutup!" he replied, flicking a fruit loop at me. I got a fruit loop and flicked it at him. It hit him on the forehead.
