a JeffMads tale

Chapter 1-Madison

I walked quickly away from the 4 boys who had been making my life miserable. " Ha, is he on meds? Laurens, I think he's on meds!" Alex shouted. He was the ringleader, and he had picked on me since he moved from the Caribbean. Mr. Washington said he had a hard life and was going to settle down soon, but I really doubt it, considering he knocked out Charlie L. The mean boys taunted me, and followed me to my locker. I opened it slowly, and the group grabbed my things from my locker. I made a strangled gasp when Alex grabbed the picture of me and my sister Cat and he smiled mischievously. "Oh, you like this, well maybe I'll just k-" Someone grabbed the picture and handed it back to me. Who was this person? I wondered. Just then I heard Alex yell "Shut up,  Jefferson!" Wait, Jefferson? Thomas Jefferson? Oh my god. Thomas grabbed my books and asked, "So, what class do you have?" I saw the boys had scattered. "Um..um.. a-algebra" I stuttered. He nodded "Same here." He walked me to class. Thomas Jefferson walked me to class. I grinned throughout algebra, at Thomas, who to my surprise, turned around and grinned back.
