Commando Joe

Chapter One

Buzz. Buzz. Buzz. It's 6:50am and my alarm goes off. It's a Thursday, I stare at the ceiling and then at my alarm clock. I can't help but feel like nobody would notice if I didn't go to school. Nobody would notice if I didn't leave my bed for a week. I force myself out of bed and drag myself down the stairs.

There's something you should know about me. I hate people, I hate talking to them, I hate everyone smiling and having fun and talking as if it's the best day of their lives, which every day for me is the same as the one before or the next, so what's to get excited about.

"You look depressed as usual" says Tom. Tom is my brother he's two years younger than me and we don't get along at all, but I do know that he cares about me. I can be really annoying, but I still love him. Last year he moved schools because he was being bullied, I think it was mostly to do with him having Alopecia. Last year was extremely hard for my family. Because of everything going on in Toms Life It took a toll on my parents and all they would do was argue because mum would want him to stay at hers as it was closer to the doctors, but my dad would want him to stay at his because it's closer to school. I live at my dad's, I guess I have a stronger relationship with him. I always seemed to argue with my mum, sometimes we would argue about what was for tea or about me doing bad in English or sometimes it would be about stupid things like I'm not wearing the right socks. So, last year I stopped staying over at the weekends. I see her sometimes, but not a lot.

"Ugh shut up Tom I've just woke up" I say. "So, have I and I don't have bags under my eyes like a dead person". God he's so annoying. "you too stop arguing you know your dad will not be pleased if he hears you too messing around again". It's my dad's girlfriend Maddison. I hate her, she doesn't give a crap about me and my brother. All she cares about is herself. All she does is complain about how we are always messy. One time I lost it at dinner because I had a bad day and she kept moaning about how her hair appointment was cancelled so I told her to shut up and stormed of. After that happened I expected my dad to shout at me but surprisingly he didn't, instead he asked me what was wrong. I guess my dad cares about me. My dad cares about me more than I care about myself.

I go over to the cupboard and pour myself a bowl of cornflakes, I look at the time and realize if I want to be on time to school today I'm going to have hurry up. school starts at 9 but I live around 20 minutes away so I normally get the bus. I don't like the bus because when its busy you have to either stand or sit next to people you don't know and most of them are middle-aged men. And most middle-aged men are creeps.

I managed to get to school on time which is good because I'm nearly always late. "Jess, hi!" shouts Sarah "come over here!" I really don't want to go over to where Sarah's stood because she's with all the popular girls. When I say 'popular' I really mean there the type of girls everyone knows about for the wrong reasons. I walk up to them and can already sense them staring at me. "Hi Sarah" I say "omg have you heard Alex is single! he broke up with Mia at that party on Sunday". I obviously didn't go to the party. "I thought you said you wasn't going to go?" "oh well I changed my mind when I found out like the whole school was going" she says sounding way too happy for 8:55 in the morning.

"I'm going to go I don't want to be late for history". I say, before turning around and bumping into Jack. "What the hell!" he shouts. I can't help but just give him an awkward smile before picking up his phone I made him drop, luckily it wasn't broken because I know for a fact he would make me pay for him to get a new one. I look at it when picking it up and can't help but notice that this app called commando Joe is open, he snatches it out of my hands and storms of. What's commando joe? I've never heard of that app. What made it so strange was that it wasn't like a game it more looked like a messaging app.

Authors note: Hello and welcome to my book Commando joe, its a funny sounding name but i have to say it fits the book once you know the meaning behind it. 

This is the first book i have ever wrote so it might not be mind blowing, but it did take awhile to write so i thought maybe id share it with the world.

Hope you enjoyed the first chapter!
