Extra Curricular Activities

Well, the first few days of the new school year have passed about as well as can be expected.  The new clicks have been formed and old friends have rediscovered why they had such great relationships in the first place.  But there are others.  The outcasts, the nobodys, the losers, the liars, the bastards, the thieves, the cynicists, the pessimists, and those that do not believe in anything.  You know the types of people I mean.  People like Jeremy Bauer... God how I hate you Jeremy.  Anyway, that is neither here nor there.  The reason I am bringing this up is because if you feel like you just don't fit in, then maybe what you need is an after school activity.  Tomorrow, Principal Michaels is throwing a school fair to show off some off Green Acre High's clubs and other extra curricular activities.  Like the school paper for example.  Unfortunately for you loyal readers, your favorite journalist R.C. will not be able to attend.  With over three years on the paper's staff, I get all the juiciest stories and it keeps me very busy.  In fact I can't quite remember the last time I left this old unused classroom that we turned into a makeshift office.  And who's "we"?

I'm sorry readers I seemed to have lost my train of thought for a few moments there.  I'm sure you don't care about my problems; you want to know what to expect from the school fair.  Well all of your old favorites will be there, "The Gaming Club", "The Club For The Collectors of Various Things", and the debate team.  There are also a couple of new clubs that have popped up this year.  One that I would keep my eye on is "The Mystery Club".  I have spoken to several of the members of the club and many of the club meetings seem to mainly consist of telling difficult riddles and trying to solve hypothetical murder scenarios.  It all sounds like terrifically grim fun to me.  The most recent murder scene was a hypothetical discussion on how to get away with murdering fellow club member Jesse Pinks.  At first Mr. Pinks was uncomfortable with the situation but when he began hearing the ridiculous deaths he was being put through, he soon began to join in on the fun.

The other cl- Forgive me readers for leaving that sentence fragment in front of this one.  I know it is an eye sore and the journalist inside of me is screaming for making such an obvious grammatical error but due to what just happened it feels appropriate.  I just received an email notification on my phone from one of my sources in the school.  Apparently Jesse Pinks did not show up for school today nor did he call in sick.  Just as I was writing this article about this man, he vanishes.  Well, I'm sure he will be in tomorrow.  If not perhaps this is a job for "The Mystery Club".
