My Thouqhts On Scorpion pqs 1-22

The book that I am readinq is called Scorpion. What I think about this book so far is that in the beqinninq it is kind of interestinq because I think I read books that are similar to the kind of problems Jamal has. But the book is about how Jamal is dealinq with alot of problem; like dealinq with his Mother, Teachers, Principal, etc. They are always on his case like when he is late to school his Principal is always yellinq at him complaininq about why he always late to school. His teachers is always on his case because since he never does his homework she always askes him if he did when she knows he doesnt do it. Then he tries to play it off sayinq that there was no homework on the board and his Teacher qets really anqry. He also has problems with his mother because she has to deal with Jamal's brother beinq in Jail and always takes her fustrations out on him like shes stressed or somethinq. I think this book so far is qood. I just can't wait until what happens next in the story.

Tinsely kept on Convincing him and he told her yes but anything that went wrong she will be responsible for it. So since she was allowed to have the movie in the barn, she let everyone know about it and they all couldnt wait to go. the day had finally came and everyone was arriving at the barn. as the movie went on, nobody payed attention to the movie because they were either making out or drinking or something.

Which she didnt. Jenny got so angry she just didnt know what to do. She stormed off angrily and just took a walk. While she was walking she heard someone call her name. It was Julian, her new crush. She went up and talked to him. They talked for a few and they got caught up in the moment and kissed. Tinsely was always wondering why Julian was never with her anymore.

But she just threw his lighter and just walked away. Then all of a sudden the barn got caught on fire. It had caught on fire when Callie was smoking with Easy and flicked their ciggerate onto the hay. Now Callie was blaming the fire on Jenny because of the arguement they had before and started telling people that Jenny did it which wasnt true. And the person who made the barn catch on fire would get expelled. They found Julian's lighter (which Tinsely threw) and now some kids think that Julian did it.When neither Julian or Jenny did it.
