uz-cut Jackson shoved his way through Evergreen Middle School's halls. Shoving girls and boys into the walls, and whistling sweetly as he passed a teacher. Buz-cut Jackson. The bully of Evergreen School.David Green waited impatiently as Buz-cut headed for him. STOMP.....STOMP.....the stomps of buzz-cuts feet grew closer as David's palms became wet with sweat. STOMP.....STOMP.....now Buz-cut was standing right in front of David. "I've come for your lunch-money kid!" Buz-cut laughed with an evil grin. "Sure Buzz.....let me just get the money out of my pocket." David lied, patting his empty pocket." David laughed nervously. Buzz-cut mumbled something that David couldn't hear. "What?" David asked, dodling for extra time. "Do you have the money or not?" Buzz-cut asked, growing impatient. "I have it....just not in my pocket." David lied, again. "Well, where is it?!" Buzz-cut cackled. "In......homeroom!" David answered quickly. Yes! That was it! Homeroom!, David thought! There would be a teacher in homerrom! That's when the bell rang! Bong!...bong!....bong!......bong! "Ooops-late for first period!" David said nervously. He was off, running from Buzz-cut as fast as his legs would carry him. David slowly walked into his living room. "Mom?!" David yelled. No answer. "MOM!?" David yelled again, walking into the living room. David rubbed his black-eye that Buzz-cut had given him after school. David threw his backpack onto the living room sofa, and headed up to his room. "Buzz-cut: 1, David: 0" David mumbled as he swung the door open to his room, and swung himself onto his waterbed. David groaned, and closed his eyes. School was chaotic, and he had no homework. Mom was probably still at work, so it wouldn't hurt to take a little snooze. David soon became tired, and fell asleep. When David awoke, his mouth tasted sour, and his eyes were still bassically stuck closed. David slowly pulled himself out of bed, groaning as he did so. David made his way down to the kitchen, and walked over to the refridgerator. Mom still wasn't home, but Jenny, David's older sister, had obviously come home and left again. Probably went to her best friend, Kelsey's house. David opened the refridgerator, and pulled out a juice box. That's when David closed the fridge, and noticed the note on the fridge door: Jackson- I'll be home at dinner. Lucy should be home when you get home. Apologize to her for what you did last night with the scissors. Love, Mom "Huh?" David asked himself. Suddenly, an idea sparked in David's head, and he dashed to the bathroom. Flipping on the light, and looking in the mirror, David saw that he wasn't who he always thought he was. Or....he had changed somehow! Could it have been the bad chocolate he ate last night? David stared in the mirror, scared. In the mirror, he saw the face of Buzz-cut Jackson! "No!" David shook his head, screameing. To be continued.....
