Hey, my life was perfect before I
nearly burned the house down. But the aliens were SO ready
to be blasted away. Then, there was this funny noise,
“This is the Sycamore Fire Department.” I
was cooked. Gaming is my chosen lifestyle. I’ve arranged
my life to do that, doing just enough
work to get by. Now my parents have ordered me, Cameron
Boxer, to find an interest that
doesn’t have a screen! They want me to PARTICIPATE, to be
INVOLVED! Out of desperation
I form a fake club, but kids believe everything they see
online and now the Positive Action Club
is the most popular one at school. Kids love doing things
like building a habitat for a beaver,
painting the YMCA pool, and helping senior citizens. All
the kids think I am a hero. Help!!!!
