Summary
"I was thirteen the first time I saw a police officer up close. He was arresting me for driving without a license. At the time, I didn't know what a license was. I wasn't too clear on what being arrested ment either." Cap (ricorn) Anderson lived in Garland his whole life. Garland is a community where you live like your in the sixties. Cap lives with his grandmother Rain. Cap was homeschooled by his grandmother. No school bus, no friends. Also, if you didn't know, Cap knows how to drive a car. Rain taught him when Cap was 8.
One day Rain was up in a tree about to pick a plum. "Snap!", the tree branch broke and Rain fell and got terribly hurt. The ambulance came and toke her to the hospital. That's when Cap met Mrs. Donnelly. Cap was going to stay with Mrs. Donnelly until Rain got better and was able to go home. When Mrs. Donnelly took Cap to her house, he immediately met Sophie Donnelly, Mrs. Donnelly's daughter. Sophie was not happy that Cap (the freakazoid in her eyes) was moving into her house.
Cap goes to the school and doesn't get treated like he expected. Everyone was giving him a hard time and out of no where, Cap gets elected for class president. Cap wins the election and becomes president and now they want him to organize the Halloween Dance. Cap tries to worn them that he shouldn't be the one to do it, because he has never even been to a dance. How is he going to organize the dance, when he has never been to one? Just so you know, the only reason why they made Cap president, was so that he would have to run the Halloween Dance. Kids thought he would be so pressured that he would make a fool out of himself, just so everyone can have a little giggle.
The 8 weeks are up and Rain can come out of the hospital. The ambulance comes to pick up Cap from school and they go to Mrs. Donnelly's house to pick up Caps stuff. Cap picks up his stuff and says his goodbyes to Sophie, but Mrs. Donnelly wasn't home. So, he gave Sophie a message to tell her. Cap gets back into the ambulance and heads back to Garland.
Everyone at school thinks that Cap is dead, since he left in a ambulance. Everyone blamed it on Zach because he was the one who was being very mean to Cap. So, Zach thought to show everyone that he cares, Zach would throw a memorial session for Cap. When Cap found out about this, he went straight to C Average Middle School and set things straight. Cap told everyone what happened and everyone went home with the right message.
One month later, Rain had a talk with Cap. She said that when she was younger her parents bought her a peace of land. This land turned out to be Garland. Rain decided to sell Garland and go live somewhere else, so Cap could live a normal life.
In the end, while Rain was going to try to find a condo for both her and Cap, Cap moved back in with Donnelly's for a little bit. Cap got to go back to school like he wanted. He went to a "new" school. Unlike the first time around, he already knew everyone's names.
