Bob in the Unknown

Bob finally reached the school and once he was inside, the Principal greeted him and said hello. His name was Cark Zackarborg.

One morning, Bob was home when his parents made an astonishing announcement. He would be moving to a new school, and they wanted him to do well.

Everybody was so excited that Bob's winning basket won the game. They picked him up and carried him jubilantly outside the school.

After class, he went to eat at the school's cafeteria. He got lunch, and sat down. Zark and his friend walked over to Bob and threw potatoes with eggs at him. This made Bob cry and run into the janitor's closet.&nbsp;

He walked into his classroom and saw that it was colorful and had a lot of alien symbols. All of the aliens looked at him with disgusted looks on their faces.

Jarad tried cheering up Bob by asking him what activities he was good at doing. Bob replied that he was good at basketball. Jarad responded, "Why don’t you try out for the basketball team and show everyone how good you are at it?"

After two weeks, they announced the team players, and Bob made the team. He was so excited, he started to practice hard for his first game.

When the game started, Bob was doing quite well, but was no match for the other team.

Bob's father drove him to school in his hover car. Bob looked out and saw all the different colorful aliens that were green, red, orange, and even rainbow colors. Each alien had different eyes. Some of them had big eyes while some had small eyes. Some had a lot, and others had none.

One of them said that he was weird and ugly. Once he sat down, an alien named Zark was sitting behind him and said, “Move your big head out of the way.”

The day finally arrived for Bob to play his first tournament.

But suddenly, at the very last second, Bob scored the final point, winning the game!

Jarad the janitor heard that someone was crying and he asked him what happened to him. Bob said that no one in this school likes him because he’s human.

Bob started to get very hopeful and thanked Jarad for the advice. He knew it would be a great way to break the ice and make new friends. He went outside and found a flyer that announced the latest basketball tryouts he decided to sign the paper.

From that day on, nobody made fun of Bob ever again.

All of a sudden, he became very nervous before the game. He didn't think he was going to do it. Jarad reassured him that he would do well, and that helped to calm his nerves.
