Chapter 1
First off I have to say homecoming week is the worst time off the year! I am Julie Clark and I’m in 10thgrade. I go to school at Victor Valley High school, we are the fighting Jackrabbits. Enough about my lame school. Back to my point about how homecoming stinks. First of all every one is running around looking for the perfect pair of shoes, the right dress, and lord help them to find the way to do their hair without it making their heads look bigger than they already are. But the thing I hate most about homecoming is that the prissy little witch, Kelley Crain, is the homecoming queen every year. I don’t understand why people even vote for her. She is rude to everyone who isn't a cheerleader, a jock, or an important staff member at Victor Valley High School. Kelley makes fun of people, Bosses them around, starts rumors about them or is just plain out rude to them.
Kelley can get any thing she wants. If she wants a better grade on a report or more time for a project all she has to do is ask the teachers and they always say “Well since you were busy this week we will give you extra time. Just come work on it when you are available.” Then if she wants the new Gucci bag or Coach Shoes all she has to do is ask her dad and he will give her the money to buy it. In other words she is a spoiled brat. People use to look up to her. She was the sweet cheer caption that everyone loved. I use to be her best friend, we told each other everything. I know things about her that no one else knows. Then she started getting full of herself. She figured out that if she wanted something all she had to do was wave her perfect manicured hands and she would get it. That’s when she became how she is.
Then there are Katrina and Kay lee, her clones, they do what ever she does when she does it, they are the most annoying girls in the whole school besides Kelly. If Kelley gets a haircut then the clones get the exact same one. If Kelley gets an Italian boyfriend then that’s the only type of guy that the clones will date. It is so annoying and sickening at the same time.
Then there are the gods of the school. Also known as Drake, Justin, Kevin, Jacob. They’re the cutest most popular guys in the 10th grade. Drake is Italian, Justin is American, Kevin is British, Jacob is country, and they all have long skater hair except Jacob. Kelley’s posse and the Gods rule the school.
But Kelly wont rule homecoming anymore. My best friend, Maddi, and I Plan to get a new homecoming queen. We will succeed I just know it.
Chapter 2
“Are you exited to go to school tomorrow or what?!” Maddi practically yelled into the phone. “Calm down Maddi. What are you so exited about anyway, its just school.” I said in a hushed tone so I wouldn’t wake my Aunt and Uncle. “Oh my gosh you don’t even remember? Tomorrow we start making our battle plan.” She said. “Oh ya. Mission Homecoming.” I whispered.
“Why do you hate Kelley so much any way? I don’t care I'm just wondering, you know.” Maddi asked in a voice that meant she cared. “She just gets every thing she wants when she wants it and thinks she is the princess of the world and she is not!” I practically screamed into the phone. “I’m sorry I asked, and you tell me to calm down. I’m really sorry, but your little hissy fit just woke up my parents so I have to go to bed. Meet me at my locker tomorrow at 6:00 AM and we will discuss or plan, bye.” Maddi whispered. Then the line went silent.
After Maddi had to go to bed that night, I couldn’t stop thinking about how on earth we were going to pull this off. I was also thinking about my real parents. Thinking about why they didn’t take me to Africa with them. Why they left me with my Aunt and Uncle. They could have taken me with them; they didn’t have to leave me here. They could at least call me every once in a while, but all they do is send me post cards. They tell me that they miss their little short haired brunet with green eyes. They sent a birthday and Christmas card, that’s all I ever hear from them.
I finally fell asleep that night, but shortly afterwards I woke up because I could have sworn I heard their voices. I thought to my self "Your just hearing stuff. Your tired go to bed." so I lay in bed trying to fall back asleep. I laid in bed for an hour and a half and I was still hearing the voices. I thought to my self “it wont hurt to sneak down stairs and check." I snuck down the laundry chute, like I’d done a million times before, to see if there was actually someone at the house or if I was just going insane. I crawled out of the laundry chute and to the top of the stairs at the basement and looked around the corner. “Mom "Daddy, is that you?” I yelled, completely blowing my cover. "Sweetie! Come give your old man a hug!" I darted to my Daddy. He kissed my forehead, picked me up and swung me around. "Daddy I missed you so much! Why are you here? Did something happen? Did you see a whole bunch of animals? Were the people nice? Are ya'll ok? Why didn’t ya'll wake me up? When did you come back? Did-" “Listen Jelly Bean, it’s late and you have school tomorrow. I will come up in a minute to tuck you in." Before I headed up Mom told me “I love you, and I missed you. Goodnight” I went up to my room and lay in bed. Daddy came up about five minutes later. “I missed you, Jellybean." Then he leaned over me and kissed my forehead, "North", my chin "South", my right cheek, "East", and then my left cheek "West”,” I Love you al over the map." He whispered. He uses to do this when he left or came back from a long trip.
I tried to fall asleep that night but I couldn’t stop thinking about my parents. About what they weren’t telling me. I hated it when they didn’t tell me things. But my Dad was upset I could tell in the look of his beautiful green eyes. He wanted to tell me but mom gave him the look, the look that told him to keep his mouth shut so like always he did. Project Homecoming was going to have to be put on hold, this was more important. I was going to get to the bottom of this. I had to get to the bottom of this.
Chapter 3
"Jellybean, Wake up. You're going to be late for school. Come on sleepy head
you have to get up," Daddy insisted. My eyes shot open faster than lightning striking. "Daddy your really here, it wasn't just a dream! Oh Daddy I missed you so much," I cried. "I missed you to but if you don't hurry you're going to be late for school. Come on get a move on it!" Dad said before he strutted out of the room with a playful swagger. I threw on some sweats, grabbed a piece of toast and sprinted out of the door.
I got to my locker right as the warning bell rang indicating that I had one minute to get from my locker to my first period class.
"You're late again, Ms.Clark. Well have a seat and you can stay after class and give me your excuse for disrupting my class." Mrs.Merfeld scolded. Mrs.Merfeld is the strictest, rudest, most arrogant math teacher at Victor Valley, and of course, I got to start my day off with her.
I was too distracted thinking about my parents being back to pay any attention during class. "Class Dismissed except for you Ms.Clark." Mrs.Merfeld
announced. Everybody scrambled out of the classroom leaving me waiting for my lecture. "Why are you late this time?" she barked. "The truth is that last night my parents came home from Africa, and this morning we were talking and I lost track of the time. May I go because I'm going to be late for my next class?" I asked. "Leave, but you better not be late again!" Mrs. Medfield warned.
I ran out of the room faster than a spider monkey on a sugar rush. The rest of my classes leading up to lunch seemed to go by super fast. I got out of my fourth period class and walked to the lunch room. Not even seconds after I sat down Maddi showed up and asked, "Where were you this morning? I got here at 6:00 so we could talk about our plan. You caused me to have to make up some excuse for having to get here at the crack of dawn and then you weren't even here. You better have an explanation for this!" Maddi barked as if she was one of those annoying little Chihuahua's I grabbed Maddi’s hand and pulled her into the restroom. I looked under all of the stalls before I whispered," Maddi my parents came home last night! My dad wants to tell me why they're here, but my mom won't let him. I'm sorry but we will have to forget about Mission Homecoming for a while, until I figure out what they're not telling me. This is important you wouldn't understand. I'm going to go eat my lunch. Bye." Then I stormed out!
Maddi never came back to the lunch table. The rest of the day blew by and before I knew it I was on sitting on bus 146 waiting to go home.
Everyone else filled in the seats and started to chat. "Where was Maddi? Did I upset her? I didn't mean to, I was just upset and she just kept on barking. What have I done?" I thought to myself. I was leaning against the window thinking about everything that had happened when I felt someone nudge me. My eyes shot open, "Maddi, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to ditch you this morning or upset you when I was talking to you at lunch I'm just trying figure out every thing that's happening I really don't to lose you oh I'm So sorry please forgive me." I pleaded.
"Calm down. I'm not mad or upset I just thought you might want some space so I left. Let’s forget about Mission Homecoming and figure out what your dad and mom are doing here. Okay?" Maddi replied. “Thank you so much I will text you, Bye." I yelled as I got off the bus. I started to walk to my house when my phone buzzed. "Who is texting?" I pulled my phone out of my pocket and looked at the number thinking it was maddi, but it wasn't.
