Flight 29 Down Chapter 1
Jesse all my clothes are dirty. What am I suppose to do? I asked while trying to find something clean.
Here, you can borrow some shorts and a t-shirt of mine. Jackson said.
It's okay, I don't have to go since I don't have any clothes. I said.
Put them on. Jackson said really mad.
What about a bra? I asked.
Do I look like I would own one? Jackson asked sarcasticly.
He threw the clothes at me and I went to go change.
I look like a boy. I said as I came out of the bathroom.
Nah, your girly in every way and besides you a boobs. Jackson said laughing.
Grow up. Do you really laugh at the word boobs? I asked.
No, I thought it was funny. Jackson said as he started to change.
Gosh, warn a girl before you start changing. I said.
Cassidy, your in high school. Boys will be after you. Jackson said.
Doubt it, no one wants to date a person like me. I said.
Look your free to do want you when you want to except when someone come to adopt one of us here. Jackson said.
Jackson no one is going to come here and adopt me. I am a 15 year old girl, no one wants me. I said.
Some one at some time is going to come here and adopt you. You just have to have hope. Jackson said.
I lost hope after I turn 8. I can't help it. I said.
You are still young, don't give up. I have hope. Jackson said.
You also have a place to go to when you turn 18. I said.
Yes I do and so do you. Jackson said.
You are going to adopt me when you turn 18? I asked excitedly.
Maybe, if they will let me. Jackson said.
I ran over and hugged him.
We need a cover story for school. Just in case someone asked. I said.
They will accept for who you are. Jackson said.
We need a cover story. I said.
Okay fine. Got any ideas? Jackson asked.
You are my brother and we just moved here. I said.
Where did we move from? Jackson asked.
We could say Cananda or whatever you want. I said.
Cananda it is. Let get to school. Jackson said.
Okayyy. I groaned.
Jackson grabbed the two backpacks and handed me mine.
These are huge backpacks. Does that mean we will have a lot of books and stuff? I asked.
Maybe or maybe not. Jackson said.
Uh oh. I said.
Jackson just shook his head and smiled.
Are we riding the bus? I asked.
No we are going to walk, we don't live far from it. Jackson said.
Joy. I said.
Be happy, you will meet people and have fun. Jackson said.
I'll try. I said.
Jackson went to the living room and stuck his hand down in the vase to get some money. No one really knew that we were up. If I had my own
room I would be asleep right now instead of walking to school.
Here is your lunch money. Jackson said as he handed it to me.
Thanks. Are you are your suppose to take the money? I asked.
We have to eat lunch. Jackson said.
Right. I said as we went ot the door.
What are you going to do when you have to grow up? I asked.
I don't know, probably stick around here and get a job at the pizza place. Jackson said.
You don't want to go off and go to college like other people? I asked.
I don't know. Jackson said.
What is your dream job? I asked.
On time I thought about opening a mancanic shop. You know fix cars. Jackson said.
Oh right. You should do it! I said.
What is with all the the questions this morning? Jackson asked.
Well, I don't want to keep you here and stop you from what you are wanting to do. I said hestatite.
Cassidy, you will never keep me from doing what I want. Jackson said.
Just making sure. I said.
We didn't talk much after that. We mostly just walked in silence.
I looked at Jackson when we got to school.
Your going to do fine. Jackson said.
How do you know? I asked.
Because I know and they will like you for who you are. Jackson said.
They look like a bunch of snobby rich kids. I said.
I know, they probably are. Let's go get your books. Jackson said.
I sighed and said okay. I followed him to the office.
How do you know your way around so much? I asked.
Cass, I have been going to a school that looks pretty much the same for 2 years. Jackson said.
Oh, I didn't know that. I said.
Of course, you slepted in till 3 every day when I got back. Jackson said laughing.
Oh, well that would make since. I said.
Kids stared as we walked passed. It was weird.
Why are they staring? I asked.
Because we are new. Jackson said.
Okay, I don't like this! I said.
It's new and something different. You are out of you comfort zone. Jackson said.
Please let's go before the princple sees us. I pleaded.
Too late, I see you! Princple said.
Jackson turned around and I just kept my back to him. He sounded scary!
Call me Mr Hagan. Mr princple Hangan said.
It is nice to meet you Mr Hangan. Jesse said as he shook hands or that is what I am guessing since he stuck his hand put.
It's nice to meet you Jackson. Mr princple Hanga. Said.
Jackson grabbed my shoulder and forced me to turn around to face the man.
It's nice to meet you Cassidy. Mr princple Hangan said.
It's nice to meet you too Mr Princple Hangan. I said quitely.
You can just call me Mr Hangan. Mr Hangan said.
I didn't say anything. I guess you could say that I was shy.
Let me show you around and than we can get your books. Princple Hagan said.
I followed Jackson who was following Hagan. He started speaking but I didn't really pay attion. We walked on this cool little bridge. It was a good ways up in the air. I was not far behind Jackson but far enough where I could here and have fun at the same time. I hopped up on the
railing and started walking. It wasn't that thick but it wasn't thin.
I really want to do a front flip on here. I thought it through a couple of times and than went for it.
I started running a little bit and than I went for it. I landed perfectly and than did a cart wheel.
Miss Cassidy! We do not do that here! That is your first warning.
Princeple Hagan said.
Sorry sir. Can I atleast walk up here? I asked.
No you cannot! If you fall you will get hurt or you might die! Princple Hagan said.
I just frowned and followed then to where ever they where going. It was quite boring, I did not like doing this. Thankfully this was only a one time thing. Or I hoped.
Cassidy! Mr Hagan yelled.
I jumped, I guess I was in my own world and didn't hear them callig my name. We where some where at this school. This place was huge.
Sorry. I said.
I guessing you listen to none of what I just said. Is that right? Mr Hagan asked.
Sorry sir, it was just that my igmagation kept going. I said.
If you could call what I was thinking about.
You need to learn to turn it off from the time you get here from the time you leave. You need to pay attion to everything the teachers say. Mr Hagan said.
Yes sir, I will try. I said.
I don't want you to try, I want you to do it. Mr Hagan said.
Yes sir. I said as I felt my eyes wonder to my shoes.
Man, I love my tennie shoes. They are so cute.
Crap! Stay focus! I yelled at myself.
I tried my best to listen to Mr Hagan but he was so boring and my mind kept going to a different place.
We had finially made it back to the office so we could get our books and to go class.
Jackson, I have know clue to where I am going! I said as soon as I didn't see Mr Hagan.
Yeah, I can tell. You was so spaced out through the whole tour. Jackson said smiling.
I can't help it! I don't know what my problem is with listening but I can't focus that long on something so boring. I said.
Okay, first of all here is a lock to your locker. Remember a code for it. Jackson said.
Okay, but I don't know what to set it as. I said.
Not your birthday, everyone would know your code if it was your birthday. Jackson said.
Okay. I said.
I followed Jackson to our lockers and remembered the way to them. I didn't know what to set as my locker code. I did something that I would never forget. It was 2991. 2 is for Feburary, 9 is for the day, and 91 was the year. Also known as Jackson birthday.
Whisper your code into my ear so I will know it and you won't forget it. Jackson said.
2991. I whispered.
Odd but okay, that will do. Jackson said.
Okay. My first subject is math. Well that's a great way to start out the day. I said.
Yep, see you at lunch. Jackson said.
But. I started to say but Jackson was already going to his class.
I felt like I could puke. There were kids every where bumping into me and just staring at me. I wanted to go some where and hide....forever!
This was not what I wanted. A little kid that looked like he was suppose to he in middle school came up to me.
Do you need help? He asked.
I just nodded my head.
What class do you have first? He asked.
I gave him the scedule.
Math, I have the same one. He said.
I just nodded my head and followed him.
I sat in the very back against the window so I could look out.
It was a beautiful day outside and I was stuck in this place. What a shame. This was stupid, to be at school for 8 hours and than probably go home and have 3 or more hours worth of homework. That is unbelieveible!
There was a cool tree outside with a bunch of picnic tables outside. I wonder if we get to eat out there? I hope, I want to eat in the tree.
I could picture myself taking a picture of Jackson under the tree reading. Jackson liked to keep to himself so he read. I hated reading, how could you sit there and just do that for fun? All the sudden I jumped when I heard the bell ring.
Great time for the next class! I thought sarcasticly.
I want to go home and sleep! I am so tired; it's not even funny!
I found my next class, it was history. The only part I like about history is learning about wars and stuff like that. I sat in the back by the window in history.
Cassidy! Someone said as they hit my desk.
I jumped. What? I asked.
Pay attion. The teacher said.
I sank down into the my seat while some of the kids laughed.
The teacher was talking about something but I didn't really know what it was since I didn't pay attion the first of the class. What could I do after school and after I get my homework done. Hopefully something fun. The bell rang again. I wonder how many classes I had before lunch. I was starting to get hungry. I went to my locker and didn't see Jackson. I wonder where he is? I got out my scedule and went to my next class.
It passed by quickly and than it was time for lunch.
I got in line and Jackson came up behind.
How has your day been? Jackson asked.
Horrible! I hate it here. What about you? I asked.
Same here. Jackson said.
So we can ditch tomorrow? I asked.
Cassidy! You can't go around saying your going to ditch; a teacher or someone will here you. Jackson said.
Opps my bad. I said.
Is this even eatable? I asked.
Of course, don't be so picky. Jackson said.
Well, I might back my lunch tomorrow. I said.
Yeah good luck with that. Jackson said smiling.
Can I borrow your cd player? I asked when we go to the tree.
Yeah. Jackson said.
Okay can you hand to me once it get in the tree? I asked.
The tree? You are going to eat your lunch in the tree? Jackson asked.
Yeah why not? It will be fun. I said.
Okay. Do you want help? Jackson asked.
No if I hop up on the branch I can just swing myself into the tree. I said.
Okay monkey girl. Jackson said laughing.
I jumped up to the limb and grabbed onto the branch with my hands. I started swing back and forth and than went into the tree.
Nicely done. Jackson said as he handed me tray of food with his cd player on there.
Thanks. I said a I grabbed the tray.
I put on the headphones and played the cd that was in there. I could feel kids staring at Jackson and I could feel them trying to stare at me but they couldn't find me in the tree.
The next part will be Chapter 2!
Jesse all my clothes are dirty. What am I suppose to do? I asked while trying to find something clean.
Here, you can borrow some shorts and a t-shirt of mine. Jackson said.
It's okay, I don't have to go since I don't have any clothes. I said.
