JoJo 9.4; Week # 2.4

"HaHa! Nak's hair was kickin' today!"
"Be nice, JoJo. One day you may be bald!"
"Say it ain't true, Child!"
"I wouldn't worry about it."
"Who said I was worried?"
These two had meaningless conversation for 30.2 minutes, until---
"JoJo, I want to go to church Sunday."
Wow, that came out of the blue, JoJo thought.
"That's great, Cindy! Would you like to go to First Methodist? My family and I can pick you up."
"That's sweet, but I was thinking more like going to the Youth Group at night. What do ya think?"
"For sure! Do you want to meet there or do you want my dad to pick you up when he takes me?"
"Mmmmm. I'm not sure. Let's talk between now and then."
"OK."
"Well, I better hit the books."
"OK, Brainiac!"
"Whatever! Good night JoJo."
"Good night Cindy"

The next day, Beast walked right by JoJo, and...NO Wake-Up Call.
Am I on the right planet??
Within three minutes, two more Seniors walked right by JoJo, and.... nothing happened. Then, JoJo heard a big thump several yards behind him in the hallway. Sure enough, those same two seniors were popping Freshmen upside the head with their rings. JoJo had no idea what was going on, but he just smiled and kept walking.

At recess, Chris walked over to JoJo. They were both eating Moon Pies. (Mmmm good)
"Chris, you are a Veteran of the school, right?"
"You know it Freshy," Chris said with a smile and not like the rest of Smallville High.
"Was there ever a time when you were a freshman and the Seniors quit giving you Wake-Up Calls."
"Maybe....Why do you ask?"
"The weirdest thing happened this morning. First, Beast walked by me like he didn't even know me. A few minutes later, 2 Seniors--I don't know their names, passed me up and Woke-Up two of my freshy classmates. (Great, now he was using the term Freshy.)
"I'll let ya in on a secret. I put out a "Hands Off JoJo for the rest of this Semester Warning."
"Really/"
"Really."
"Cooool!"
"You might be good to your friends though."
"Why?"
"They may get a little jealous."
"Oh."
"See ya at Band Practice, Partner."
"Sure thing, Big Guy."

WOW, NO WAKE-UPS FOR A SEMESTER!!

Riiiiing! Oh no...the bell. I better not be late. He took off and ran. JoJo slid in his seat right as the tardy bell rang. Ms CeCe began speaking Spanish, and JoJo had no clue, but he was once again mesmerized. Suddenly, Cindy threw a wadded-up piece of paper and woke-him up. JoJo smiled like he didn't have a care in the world. But when Dan saw F beside Spanish on his Report Card, he would care. It seemed like Spanish class lasted 10 minutes. However, that got him to lunch more quickly.

Today, was Hamburger Helper Day---one of JoJo's favorites. He was use to sitting with "His Own Kind" or "The Freshies". Then, it happened....
Jr. Samples said, "JoJo, we hear ya cut somekind a deal with the Seniors."
"What in the World are you talking about, Jr.?"
"No Wake-Up Calls for this Semester? Right?"
"Maybe. Where did you hear that?"
"News broke this morning in gym."
Gym...the Info Pipeline. "I have not cut a deal with anybody, Pal."
"Whatever. A bunch of the fellers are mad with you."
JoJo was stunned! But, Chris warned him.
"Why?"
"Let's say you have a new name: JoJo the BoZo!"
"That doesn't make any sense."
"Hey Bud, I didn't make up the name. Anyway, I don't blame you."
OK, I have got to get this under control before all ninth grade boys think I am some kind of Punk!!
However, this hear-say had been broadcast school-wide!
