Chaos Pen: Chapter 2 I walked into the cafeteria, and sat down at the nearest table, waiting for Janet. I was still thinking about what had happened earlier. How could it be possible? Maybe it was some kind of......dream! That's what it was! A dream! All I had to do was to try to wake myself up. Or maybe I was just in another dimension or something. All I knew was that I still had more time to figure this out. I opened my lunch pail only to find out that my mom packed a turkey sandwich, a very miniature bag of sour candies and a Ziploc Bag full of cherries. You see, my mother wants me to eat healthy because she thinks that I only eat junk food. "Hey Janie, what's wrong?" asked Janet as she sat down beside me with her crumpled lunch. "Didn't you hear the announcement?" I questioned, "history class was cancelled because Mr. Tanner broke his leg! And you even saw me write 'NO HISTORY' on a piece of paper! It came true, Janet, it came true! The pen must be...magical or something, but I haven't figured it out yet." Janet gazed at me with awe. Her eyes were as wide as golf balls and her iris seemed to be very interested in this certain topic. She looked amazed. She gazed at me and it seemed very unusual because she usually paid more attention to her schoolwork. You see, she's kind of a bookworm. If school ever comes up in a conversation, she is always the person that talks about it the most. She spends more time worrying about her grades and figuring things out. I always tell her she sould loosen up a little, but she tells me that education is important for my future career. Anyways, we were just sitting there daydreaming about things that could happen when suddenly, Janet jumped to her feet with a clever grin on her face. I actually had never seen her with this cunning look. "That's it! I got it! I have the best idea in the world!" she screamed. She seemed very excited and very confident about her new plan and I was willing to help her out with it...as soon as I knew what it was of course. "What is it? What's your idea? It better be good because I am still very confused about this entire situation." "Okay," she began, "Since you think the pen is "magical" or something, maybe we can use it. I mean we could be popular, we would be able to decide what we got for lunch. We could stop world hunger or declare world peace! Don't you realize something? With this pen, the world would be a better place!" Her idea was brilliant. No,it was astonishing! She was absolutely right. The pen could determine the furture of the entire world. With that pen there would be no need for money. There would be no need to have perfect grades to get a good job. I was starting to like this whole situation. I took the last bite out of my sandwich and threw it out. While I was on my way back to the table Janet and I were sitting at,I heard a voice coming from behind me. "So! If it isn't Janie Insaney! How is the world going for you? Oh yeah, I forgot you were from outer space. Well, when you go back up there, tell all of your little martian friends I said 'hi'. That includes your other friend at the table over there" I was so stupid. I just stood there like a helpless idiot as she walked away laughing histerically with her friends. I fled past them and ran right into the girl's bathroom in tears. My heart was racing, my head ached, and I was dizzy from all of the crying. I just sat there. Wondering what I did to deserve this kind of treatment. I pulled out my diary and read through it rapidly. At that point, I thought that there was no reason for living if people got treated like this. That's when a smiled cleared my upset look. I ripped out a sheet of paper from my diary and pulled out a normal black pen. I started writing down things to do. But as I crossed things off that I didn't want one by one I was left with only 1 thing to do for now:

5. REVENGE on Lindsey Baxter
I had to get revenge, one way or another. I mean, I didn't deserve any of this. I'm tired of all the pain and suffering! I said to myself. I had to find a way to get her back. But how? My plan should be the best one ever! Not just something ordinary and boring like spilling milk on her head. It had to be brilliant. So brilliant, in fact, that it would embarass her infront of the entire school. Just then, inspiration hit me like a...a...bolt of lightning! I had it! The perfect plan! I shut my diary and threw it into my backpack. I raced
down the hall to the cafeteria to find Janet. I spotted her over by the garbage pail putting her tray away. "Janet! Janet, I got it! Sweet revenge, Janet! It hit me!" I was so excited, I didn't even notice that I knocked down a few trays. "Janie, are you feeling okay? You don't look too good" I was too distracted by my own brilliance so I grabbed her by the arm and pulled her out of the cafeteria. I practically dragged her out of the school when I stopped at my locker. Fiddling with the numbers, I managed to open it. I tried my best to hold the tight grip on Janet's arm. I stuffed my backpack in my locker and slammed it shut. "Janet! You were right! That pen could change our future! I hate Lindsey, you hate Lindsey, almost everyone hates Lindsey! All we have to do is write 'Lindsey Embarassment' on a piece of paper and WHAMO! We've hit the motherload! I could tell that Janet still looked a bit dazed. I mean who wouldn't looked confused if they were dragged down a hall for a reason they knew nothing about? But, I could tell that she sort of understood me. As I whispered my genius plan to her, a huge smile swiped her face. "Janie, there comes a time in a woman's life," Janet began, "where she knows that she is a genius. Janie, this is your time. Congratulations Janie, you are now a certified Einstein." And so, it began... | |
