Chapter 1
"Abel Crowlston, here we are again" Said Mr. Brown with a sarcastic smile on his face. It's as if he was mocking him in some sort.
But Abel don't give any crap.
"I'm tired of seeing your face," Said Abel putting a death glare, his favorite expression.
"Well you're going to until you graduate, so suck it up," Answered Mr. Brown while sipping his black coffee on a mug that says go to college if you want to be successful. It makes Abel laughed when he saw it.
"So how are you today?" Asked Mr. Brown leaning back at his chair.
"Same as always, I'm depressed, I have no will to live whatsoever, people are stupid and I hate everything," Explain Abel.
Mr.Brown put his mug down and said, "you're a weird kid, you're a genius and you've won a bunch of programming competition and yet you have no will to live,"
"That brings quite the cash and the reputation for the school you know," Mr. Brown continued while slightly whispering.
Yes, the school become quite popular after the news and media of the genius coding kid that won a bunch of programming competition. Abel even went to the popular talk show called The Really really really Late Night Show with Johnson Mustard.
"I mean your name was all over the newspaper, you've actually got quite a future kid," Said Mr. Brown.
"So why are you depressed?"
"I don't know," Answered Abel.
Abel looked at the clock.
"It's already 5, I'm going now see you tomorrow Mr.Brown," Said Abel getting ready to go outside.
"Hey wait," Said Mr.Brown.
Abel looked back and said,"what?"
"Here" Mr.Brown handed him a book.
"Uhh..What?" Abel is confused.
"Write down at least three things why you're depressed and tomorrow we'll figured out together," Said Mr.Brown.
"Why for?" Asks Abel with an annoyed face.
"I'm just trying to help you," Said Mr.Brown with a smile.
Abel just nodded and walked away.
Three things,huh?
Abel said to himself.
He then arrived at his home.
"I'm home," Abel said.
And as expected no one was home. His parents rarely went home because of work.
But Abel is the type of kid that doesn't really care if his parents don't spend a lot of time with him. He understands that his parents are workaholic.
He then went to the kitchen to grab some mac and cheese breakfast that he hasn't finished on the fridge.
Cadence, Abel's best friend was on the fridge and Abel screamed, "What the heck?!"
"Oh hi, want some ice pops, I saved the blueberry ones cuz I know you love them," Said Cadence as if nothing happened.
"How did you get in here?" Abel said while grabbing the blueberry ice pops form Cadence's hand.
"The window, you should really locked them if you don't want creeps to come to your house," Said Cadence.
"My parents did that, also you're a freak," Said Abel while staring in concern.
"Aren't you too?" Said Cadence.
"At least I don't sneak into people's house and hide on they're fridge like some weirdo," Said Abel.
"Hey, I've known you for like ten years," Cadence said trying to defend himself.
"Still, that's not an excuse for you to just snuck into my house like that," Said Abel.
"Fine, I'm sorry," Said Cadence.
"Wanna watch tv?" Asked Cadence while sitting on the couch.
"But the shows sucks nowadays, the only thing that I watched is probably Brendan Brow Host Show" Said Abel while sucking his ice pops.
"What's that?" Cadence asked with full curiosity.
"It's about a dude and a puppet dog and they do a bunch weird cool stuff like producing music and painting cubic patterns, the jokes always gets me," Abel explained.
"Cool, I'll try watching some," Said Cadence.
Suddenly and advertisement showed up on tv that said,
"Hey kids, do you have nothing to do than sitting on the couch watching lame shows like a bunch of losers"
Abel and Cadence felt called out, "no!" they both shouted.
"Well, it's your lucky day cuz we the StaplerTown TV station needs you! Yes you creative nerds to make a show of your own of any kind with your own creativity, go audition now at the Block Building Number 7 on Tennis Street! Sign up now or be a loser forever!" Said the host.
"Stop calling us losers!" Cadence and Abel shouted.
But Abel was quite interested after seeing that ad and said, "Hey, wanna make a show?"
"About what?" Asked Cadence.
"Computer science,duh," Said Abel while slightly shaking his head.
"I mean we both are good at it and we're fun,"
"Besides, we both need some cash right?" Abel added.
Cadence and Abel are both in computer science club. They like to join competition and events.
Abel and Cadence lived in StaplerTown,
A boring small city.
"Ok then, should we go?" Asked Cadence.
"No, we gotta figure out what are shows gonna be called," Said Abel.
"Hmmmm..." Abel started thinking.
"How about Computer Science with Abel and Cadence," Abel suggested.
"Agreed but Let's short it to Cade," Said Cadence.
Abel and Cadence got a taxi.
"I'm Cooper, and you?" Asked the taxi driver.
"Abel, and that's Cade," Answered Abel.
Cade was sleeping on a backseat.
"Cade was my dad's name," Said Cooper.
"He died two weeks ago," He added.
"I'm so sorry," Said Abel.
"Don't be, everyone's gonna die at some point anyways,"
"But the lucky ones sticks around for a long time," Said Cooper.
Abel could see a sorrow in Cooper's eyes. But I guess he's used to it. People leaving him behind.
"Hey kid, want some chocolates? It's on the house" Said Cooper.
"Got any nougat?" Abel asked while fixing his jacket.
"Who knows? Just dig onto it you'll find some," Said Cooper while giving him a white jar filled with chocolate bars.
Abel grabbed one for him and Cadence.
"Well, we're here," Said Cooper.
"Here," Abel gaved the taxi driver 50 bucks.
"Woah kid, isn't this too much?" Said Cooper.
"Consider it as my way of being sorry for your dad," Said Abel.
"Let's go Cadence," He added.
"K," Said Cadence getting out of the car.
"Bless you kids," Said Cooper then he drove off.
"What happened?" Asked Cadence with
a concerned look on his face.
"Cooper lost his dad," Abel said.
"Who the heck is Cooper?" Asked Cadence.
"The taxi driver," Answered Abel.
"Well that's just how life is, man. You lost people and you gain them and then you lost them again and in the end you're alone," Explained Cadence.
"Crap, that's true," Said Abel.
"Wanna chocolate bar?" Asked Abel.
"Heck yea!" Said Cadence while quickly grabbed the chocolate bar from Abel's hands.
Then they went to the building.
A lady with brown skin and curly hair greeted them and said,"TV show audition?"
"Yep," Said both of them.
"Come with me then," The lady brings them to a room filled with people trying to audition and man they were quite a lot.
"Here's the waiting room" Said the lady.
There's a dude with a magician costume and an old cat lady with a piano. They're were a bunch of weird people there.
Abel and Cadence were quite overwhelmed.
"Can I get both your names?" Asked the lady that names turns out to be Pynthia.
"Abel Crowlston," Said Abel.
"And Cadence Prier," Said Cadence.
"Ok. If you need anything just go ahead and tell me about it alright?" Said Pynthia.
"Cool," Said Abel.
"Oh, there's a free snack station right on the corner if you're hungry, good luck!" Said Pynthia.
"Heck yea snack corner!" Said Cadence.
"Didn't you just ate a chocolate bar" Said Abel while fixing his half black half red hair.
"There's never enough food in my dictionary, besides free food!" Said Cadence then proceeded to rushed to the snack corner and started to grab a bunch of chips that he could possibly find.
The old lady stared at him with a genuinely concerned and confused look.
Abel saw that and decided to sit down at one of the chairs there while listening to an indie band, junk yard - summer sales on his earphones.
"I'm back" Said Cadence carrying a lot of chips with his hands.
"Good, you're here," Said Abel.
"Will you die if you ate too much chips?" Asked Cadence.
"Probably," Answered Abel.
"That'll be the greatest death ever," Said Cadence.
"Oh, I'd rather freeze to death than die like that," Said Abel.
"Cadence Prier and Abel Crowshow!" One of the guy there shouted.
"It's Crowlston! Get it right!" Abel shouted back to that the guy.
"Oh sorry, come on in" The guy escorted them to the audition room.
There were a bunch of people with cameras. And in the middle there's only one judge.
A guy with brown hair, glasses and moustache with,red suspenders was standing there looking at them intensely.
"Hello, my name is Mr.Drownies" He said.
"Now, go on tell me your show" He continued.
"Ok, so our show is called "Computer Science with Abel and Cade," and it's about us teaching people how to do basic programming"
"Go on," Said Mr.Drownies.
"Okay so now we will demonstrate how the show will go," Said Cadence.
Abel started,"Hey kids do you think programming is just too nerdy for you? Well, I Abel,"
"And Cade," Said Cadence.
"Will teach you the basic programming languages in a fun way so that your brain won't hurt that much," Said Cadence.
"The languages that we are going to teach are c++,scheme,pyhton and PHP,"
Said Abel.
"Okay, okay,"
"Um, we'll call you after 3 days, if more than we rejected you, thanks for coming nerds," Said Mr.Drownies.
"Next!" Mr.Drownies shouted.
"Wait, that's it?" Asked Cadence.
"Yep, don't worry there's a chance we'll accept you, we try to make it quick cuz there are a lot of contestants," Said Mr.Drownies.
Abel and Cadence went home.
"That was quick," Said Cadence in disbelief.
"I know," Said Abel.
"Well, I gotta go to work now, see you tomorrow bud" Said Cadence.
Cadence worked part time at a fast food restaurant called "Chug Chug Chicken"
and oh boy that restaurant is a total mess. Kids running around everywhere, the floor that's always dirty, everyone is so loud and the music too.
Randy Rogers, A former rock band member works as a dj there. Don't know why they make that. But working there is just horrible.
The only reason Cadence worked there is because of the high salary due to no one wanting to work there.
"Ok, bye" Said Abel.
Now Abel is alone at his house.
He lied down in his bedroom and stared at the ceiling.
"Shoot! I haven't write three things that makes me depressed" Said Abel.
He then started writing.
