Chronicles of Jimmy Of Suburbia, chapter 1

Jimmy woke with a sudden start. He'd just had that dream again. The one with the girl, the dead girl. Even though it was nothing to with him, but her once beautiful head floating in the water still haunts him to this very day. He has just stumbled across the floating body parts of the missing girl when running away from ninth graders so why did they ask him all those questions? Jimmy never knew the answers so he would just sit there crying in front of everyone.

Then one night, there was a knock at the door, a scary knock. It was the cops, with enormous death guns, there to take someone. Jimmy knew it was him until he saw his 20 year old brother, Lewis, run like mad out the back door.

That was when the nightmares started, after his brother confessed to carving his ex-girlfriend up with a chainsaw, when he found out she had a baby after they broke up at the age of fourteen. He screamed out to the jury as the cops dragged him away, it was unfair that she didn't tell him he had a 6 year old girl called Venus that he could't see. Lewis is now sectioned at a mental unit in England, and Jimmy's mum adopted Venus, Jimmy's unknown niece.

It was ten years ago but now sixteen year old Venus's model face still creeps Jimmy out, because it reminds him clearly her blank staring eyes when he found Rose, when he went on a fishing trip with Bryan, his stepfather.
Now at 17 it was his last chance to start a new life in Oakland, California. He'd be starting a new school today, what was it? Oh yeah, Pinhole Valley High School. Jimmy's mind was crowded with the thoughts: what to do, what to wear, where to go and how to make friends. He had totally forgot how to make friends since his mum started home schooling him when he was 10 years old, because he didn't fit in.

Venus had no problems, she had already made friends with the preppy girl next door, but the jocks in the house down the road had already stole his electric blue gutair when he was unpacking it on the green lawn outside his cute little bungalow. Today was a fresh day though, right? So maybe there are more werdios like him in his classes, and maybe the teachers would praise him instead of telling him off; for handing his mum's cigrettes round the class of young children he once belonged to.

Jimmy was too busy day dreaming about the day ahead, that he rolled over and fell out of the bed. This was his cue to get out of bed even though it was 6am in the morning and the bus didn't arrive until 9am. Jimmy opened his (not for long) clean smelling wardrobe, and dragged out a Led Zepplin t-shirt, a pair of skinny black jeans and his white dusty converses. Soon he was changed and still looked tried, so he headed for Venus's room to take her eyeliner. Jimmy snuck slowly out his room, on tip-toe lightly like his was doing ballet. No one was around, so Jimmy ran in the girly pink version of hell and run out again with a velvet black stick of eyeliner.

Jimmy arrived at the bottom of the stairs now looking fresher, with the applied liner and his recently dyed black hair looking messier than ever. He glanced into the gold framed mirror opposite the stairs, he looked good, well thats what Jimmy thought.
"Looking in the mirror again, you guys are so vain."

Jimmy jumped at the girly voice of his sister/niece Venus. She was wearing a fuzzy pink jumper, a black leather miniskirt and boots, her blue eyes twinkling like two dazzling lakes, and her silkly blond hair was hanging loosely over her shoulders. Usually Venus looked like a slut, but Jimmy thought she looked kinda hot today. Shut up Jimmy, his mind said, controling his hand to slap his forehead.
"Oh no, just you know, you scared me," Jimmy repiled.
"Well, that was what I was put on the earth to do, confuse your words and scare you," Venus said with a giggle, re-applying her lipgloss with the compact mirror
Jimmy got from a boot fair for Venus last Christmas. She liked a lot.
"Oh ok, well is mum up?" Jimmy asked, after his stomach growled uncontrollably.
"Yeah, just cooked some pancakes, but be quick the bus will arrive in a minute," Venus repiled.

5 minutes later Jimmy boarded the bus. The left of the bus was the preps and jocks, where Venus immediately sat. As soon as she touched the grotty seat the guys stopped mucking about, and put all effort in staring at her. On the right of the bus was the other people where there was the last seat. Jimmy dragged himself over the seat and sat next to a blonde haired girl looking out the window, listening to her iPod. Jimmy noticed her green converses and skinny black jeans, and liquid eyeliner. She looked like she liked the same things as he did.
"Hi, I'm Jimmy."
