The Forest Home For Peculiar
Teens

Once upon a time in the 21st Century, everybody seemed to be a common person and live a
normal life. But what society did not know was that there is a group of about 4 teenagers
who go to a small High School in the Central Valley named El Capitan. Here it's like every
teens seemed to have a normal life until Principal Dr. Johnson dug deeper into his student's
life. It was the year 2017 where the first class to go to El Capitan for the first four years
was about to graduate and some kids in the senior class seemed to be strange so he became
curious about what they would do after school.

One day it was a sunny, cloudless day in the month of November and the four teens
were having what it was known to be as just a regular Sunday, getting together at Chriss
house where they would BBQ, watch the Sunday NFL Football games and play video
games. Chriss house was the main house everyone went to as he had all the most updated
game consoles and the best games so everyone would stop by there on Sundays, but one
Sunday after their once victorious Oakland Raiders lost an epic game against the San
Fransisco 49ers Misa proposed that they should leave Chriss house and meet up with
some other friends at the dog park which was all the way across town because of their loss
they were all disappointed so they set off on a little expedition from Chriss house it was
all the way across town but nobody had a car so they went out for a long walk that took
them no more than 2 hours to get there. They were suppose to meet with 3 other friends:
Osvaldo, Adrian, and Cameron but Cameron was in the hospital for popping his shoulder
out again for the 4th time after playing a game for our high school (which we would go on
to lose that game) and Adrian had a baby that was going to be born so he was in the
hospital waiting to witness the birth of his child and Osvaldo claimed that his mom would
not let him leave the house. So it was just Chris, Misa, Jona and Christian who reached the
dog park. They got there and noticed a little path way with a sign DO NOT ENTER but
they walked right past the sign like the did not notice it was even there. This pathway lead
into the forest with hundreds of Redwood trees. There were all types of birds, insects and
animals in this forest and after 30 short minutes into this walk the teens were confronted by
this rather big sized tree house although it was nicely camouflaged within the forest and the
Redwood trees it was barely visible. There was a pair of ladders that went all the way to
the top of this tree house. All 4 of these teens hesitated before climbing this tree house
because who know how long this tree house has been here and Christian said What if the
ladders break when er climb up? Chris replied Stop being a whimp and climb the damn
thing, so they did and once they all safely reached the top they were admiring the tree
houses interior because it was a lot bigger than expected to be it was to be very lurid inside.
There was 4 rooms, one for everyone and a lanai where you could go outside and look at
the trees in the forest but nobody can see you. As everyone was wondering throughout the
room Jona found a chest under a bed and he called everyone so that they could gather
around it. Everyone looked at it and were disappointed to find that there was no key to the
chest until Misa found it hiig under the floorboard. They all turned the key hoping to find
money, or something worth value but when it opened they were all pushed back and right
as the chest opened a crystal clear orb rise to the ceiling, lighting up the entire tree house
and in the blink of an eye the orb had disappeared. With everyone in shock after seeing
what they had just seen everyone was asked if they were fine, if they feel any different in
any way. But everyone was fine they felt normal they were all confused as to what that
thing was and what did it mean. They all huddled around the chest to find what it looked
like to couple hundred golden apples laid perfectly on top of one another and all of them
grabbed one , once a golden apple was taken from the chest another magically appeared
and took its place. Nobody wanted to take a bit of the apple until they gave it a thorough
inspection to make sure there was nothing wrong with these apples. Misa was the first to
take a bite of the apple and when he did, he got this massive head ache and told nobody to
eat them because they were just nasty apples. But nobody listened to Misa as they all each
took a bite of their own apple except for Jona because he is highly allergic to apples. So
instead there was another chest in the same room that appeared out of nowhere and it was
in the same exact place where they first found the first , but this one has Jonas name on the
front and in this chest there were no apples but this chest was a chest full of string cheese.
He took a couple because string cheese is his favorite snack and once he took a couple bite
of his string cheese everyone noticed Jona was changing, he was getting a lot harrier from
head to toe and he began to shrink. Everyone was wondering what was he turning into
until a few moments later he was a rat. everyone was scared because they had all taken a
bite of their golden apples so they thought they were going to be like Jona and turn into an
animal of some sort. But Christian just rose of the ground about an inch or two and Misa
yelled Dude what's happening to us!! he pointed at Christian and shouted Everyone
look at him! He looked at himself and got scared so he tried to bolt and he fly and
smacked his face on the boards inside of the tree house. Chris could hear so many things
from animals talking to his mom back at his house taking the kids what they want to eat
for dinner. He was shocked and was questioning what had happened to them and Misa
quickly answered Well if you see here I think that orb that came out of the chest had
something to do with why we are changing and these magic golden apples are giving us
these abilities to do things but we should not take advantage of these nw gifts we are
realizing we have and he quickly added wow how do I know all of this stuff I didn't
mean to say any of that! Christian said Guys im freaking out here but while Christian
was saying that Chris was stuffing his backpack with these golden apples and every time
chris grabbed on another magically appeared and took it place, he was so amazed at that
and Jona was trying to talk but all you could hear is a rat squeaking and Chris told Jona to
shut up and not worry that he will pack him some cheese to. Chris grabbed Jona and him
him on his shoulder so he would be with us and looking at us instead of looking at us from
the grounds point of view. All the teens discussed how they needed to keep their
peculiarities a secret and they must now have much reverence for each other. They also
discussed how they must destine their peculiarity only when they need to. Jona did not
have much of a saying because he was still a rat and has not yet found out how to shape
shift back. But he learned how to go back to human later on that day. He unfathomably
understand why his friends wanted to use this peculiarity to help the community because
he feared if people knew about them they would want to take them away and put them in a
lab to study for scientific research. He was not sure how he could possibly help his
community by being a rat, but Chris said Maybe you can eat all the bugs but Jona
wasn't having it and took a bite of his cheese so he could leave.
A few month later Dr. Johnson noticed the attendance of his students were dropping
so he wanted to see find out why and when he followed them from their house he found the
exact path they go to the tree house and after the kids left he went inside to see what it is
that they do in there and he has been watching them for weeks now and studying them a
little too much. Once inside the treehouse he finds out the kids peculiarities as they have
tons of pictures on the wall of the teens practicing their peculiarities but he does not know
Misass or Chriss peculiarity he thinks these teens have become treacherous. Now Dr.
Johnson is absolutely pissed off because his students are not going to school no more so he
refrains himself that it is his job to get these kids and put them where they belong, in a
scientific study but in reality he is just paranoid and he has been losing his mind lately. He
leaves the tree house and comes back a few days later and this time he finds the chest with
all the golden apples and he takes a bite of one and because he is a normal human the
apples have no effect of him but they only he can beat the peculiars is by becoming one. He
goes to this drug store and finds all the random medecine he can get and he takes it back to
his house where he crushed all of them and mixes all the powdered drugs into a single pill
and when he swallows it he gets a rush of thoughts from other people and he can read
people's minds but only for 1 hour he has this ability. Finally the teens show up to school
on a Friday because it is a minimum day and Dr. Johnson calls them to the office to see
why that students have been missing school but the claim they have been all sick at home
and that is not good enough for the Dr. Johnson, they do not know that he took his pill so
he is reading all the students minds and they are thinking about leaving early and going to
the tree house to get more apples because they ran out on apples after practicing their
peculiarity so much. Misa, Chris, Jona and Christian all go to the tree house right after
school where Dr. Johnson encroaches them as they are packing their bags with apples. He
takes their bags and calls the police to come and get them but Jona takes a bite of his string
cheese and turns into a rat and Dr. Johnson is freaking out because he's terrified of them.
Christian flies and grabs Johnson by his shirt and Misa questions why he wants to know
what they ate up tp but Misa outsmarts his with questions but Dr. Johnson only moniks
them and calls Misa Brain Blast, Chris Crimson Chin, Jona Ratatouille, and Christian the
flying kite. This is how they got their names and the crazy Dr. Johnson does not stand a
chance for the Peculiar teens and Christian flies and grabs Johnson by his shoulders and
takes him to the highest tree and tied him down there with gorilla tape and uses rope to
keep him there for ever and ever because he is to crazy for society and Christian calls him
the Paranoid Nomenclature the teens leave him there for dead but the next day.he
loosens up & rips more than half of the tape and unties himself
