                                           For starters

For starters, I’m thirteen. So don’t go expecting big descriptions about anything. My name is Marc Leeker. I have decided to start this story on a Thursday. It’s nine o’ clock. I just woke up. School starts next week and I’m trying to get some sleep before school starts again. Morning is just fine until, “Marc!” Mom calls. “Get down here right now!”
“Coming.” Comes the response.
 So I get dressed and head downstairs.
“There you are. I’m leaving now. I need to go get some things from the store. Watch the little ones while I’m gone.” Mom says.
Whoa, whoa, and let me say, whoa. Backtrack. Little ones. I forgot to mention them.  Okay. Let’s pull you up to date. I’m going to tell you about the kids in my family before continuing.
First, Me. I won’t explain about me because you’ll learn about me along the way. I have hazel eyes, and black hair.
Elizabeth: Calm, responsible, eager, quiet, smart, protective, loving, productive, lot of attitude, that’s her. You just can’t seem to find a lot wrong with her. She has hazel eyes, black hair, and is almost twelve.
Rick: Creative, fluttery, emotional, and you better run. That is not a good mix. He has blue-green eyes, dark brown hair, and is eleven.
Jack: Playful, kind, and caring. He has green eyes, brown hair, and is eight.
Bob: Sensitive, likes to play, and loud. He has green eyes,
brown-black hair, and is almost six.
Kalee: Playful, loud, hungry, and easily annoyed. She has hazel eyes, dark brown hair, and is five.
Now, back to the story.
“Okay.” I respond.
“I’ll be right back.” Mom says. “Thank you!”
And she leaves. Then I party. Sadly, not really. Instead I would play my 3DS or something. Pokémon Heart Gold was the thing I liked right now. Mom would usually be back in an hour. This is how the summer usually went. But on the Friday before school starts, we go shopping with her. This is how a school shopping goes: We head for Wal-Mart, and we each get about sixty bucks for school supplies. Then Mom sends us of to get stuff while she watches the six and five year olds. Then we spread out and look at school supplies. (Or our favorite sections of the store, mine is the electronics and books). We would all get a list of what we needed for the school year, and buy it. Then, if we had extra money, we could get something for ourselves. This year I had coupons, and got pencils, pens, lined paper, printer paper, colored pencils, ruler, tape, double sided tape, a tape measure, paper cutter, and some chemistry bottles for fifty-one dollars. Nine dollars for me! I decided to save the money.  
Back to school! It was family tradition to have cake before the school year started again. This year we had a big five layer cake! It was huge and square with white and red icing with a big ‘Happy school year!’ on it. I spent all night eating cake and looking at a map of the school so I would know where everything is, as if I had always been there. That way, I won’t be late for anything and never get detention. Great plan, right? Well clearly I didn’t know about a certain someone who would make my life miserable. There is always that kind of person at schools, right? Well, I may or may not have overlooked that little detail. Having been in a private school for all my school life, I didn't know about bullies. There weren’t any at the private schools I had been to. So how was I suppose to know what to do?                            

This chapter is about two-and-a-half pages long. See how much I can do alone? I sit down and do it. Anya and James don't want to sit and do it for that long. I did not put in the 'to...' someone thing. But I have one! Please tell me what you think!
Blog posts to come!

Bye bye, tooth!

I lost a tooth! Now, I know this must sound kiddish, but I haven't blogged in a while. Also, I am happy to tell you Me, Anya, and James have almost finished the first chapter of our new book! :) So here are some pictures of my tooth.
(Mark is not to blame if this disgusts you at all. Thank you.)

So what do you think? I'll post the first chapter soon!

New book: THE ORGANIZATION REBELLION SERIES

Calm down! I know what your thinking: "He already has two other books to write." Well, one of them, Twisted Magic, because I would post it on my blog, it would be stealing copyrights. Because I was going to use characters like Kirby, Mario, Harry Potter, Anakin Skywalker, Buzz Lightyear, etc. So I decided not to do it. As for Sam Strode, I am working on it. Now I know that I haven't been writing as much as I should have, but I've started writing again.(Also, later this week me, Anya, and James will be doing a lemonade stand. And we have a book club to plan.) So we've been busy. Now, about the new book. Two nights ago, I realized everything about the copyright problems I just told you about.
So, I decided I needed to think of an replacement book for you all to look forward to. Then I started talking to James when I said I'm not an Originator. Then I realized what I had said. "Originator!" I exclaimed. That was it! I then got my idea for this new book. The next night I started asking James what the new book should be called. Together, we thought of 'The Organization Rebellion Series. Now, I'm not going to go into detail of all that happened next, but we went to Anya and started asking her about it and we all were thinking of stuff, and I was giving them my funny metaphors and then we thought of all the basic details and, using Anya's great memory, remembered everything we decided on the nigh before and wrote it down. We would have done so last night, but it was 9:43 when we were done. So yeah. We are working on it this morning and it going great. I'll post the first chapter when it's done. Adios!

I'm a girl

I'm a GIRL! It might sound weird, but I found out today that I'm on the Valiant 11-12 girl roster. Something was messed up. Than I thought about it and felt like it was funny, weird, and embarrassing at the same time. So the teacher of the girls, Elizabeth Goodman (I know that because my teacher is her dad so He talks about her, tells stores about her and she talks to us and tells us how to make her dad laugh like a school girl, NOT because I like her) came in and told us that me and Elijah were on the girls list and (jokingly) asked if we wanted to go to the girls class. We said:"uhhh...." and than she said she would be right back with our girl names. She came back 2 minutes later and said:"Mark, your name is now Marseia,(pronounced Mar-Se-A) and Elijah, your name is Eliza. Than the other girls came in and Clayton (another friend) whispered to me:"How about we just invite the rest of them in for class?" Than they said bye and left.Than we turned the other boys names into girl names. And since Nathan (another friend) was teaching, instead of calling him 'Nathan', or 'Brother Beckstead', we called him 'Natalie', or Sister Beckstead'.We all cracked up. Than we turned Clayton into 'Claire',  Joe into 'Jessica', and Colton into 'Carry'. Than when I told everyone else about this, we made names for everyone else. David into Danielle, Karen into Keven, Anya into Andy, James into Jamie, Peter into Boo, (Eliza made that up) Luke into Lily, and Eliza into Ethan. It was a pretty educational Sunday after all.
