I think i'll write the starting chapter, just to give a demo of my writing style
Chapter 1: Lightning strikes twice?
The old man glanced at the various items on the shelf in the shop. From the back room, Alex Smith watched, on the lookout for possible shoplifters. 2 years of work in the shop had taught him that even people who looked harmless wern't allways.
"Alex, you can go and take your lunch break now." Sheila, the store manager said. Alex put down the clothes he was sorting, and spoke to Joe, who exited from the kitchen to finish off.
"Joe, keep your eyes on that old guy, he's been loitering for ages." Alex said
Joe glanced at the old man, "Yeah, i've been watching him." He paused, "Ah well, just hurry up and take your lunch before the delivery get's here."
Alex went to the kitchen and opened his lunchbox. Eating the sandwiches, he worked on his sketch of his new joke creations, Man-Man and Wo-Man. As Sheila entered the kitchen, she looked at them, "They're good Alex."
"Really?" Alex asked, "Maybe i'll take them to D.C Thomson, see what they think."
At the end of the day, Alex hopped onto his bike, and rode of home, down the old quary footpath. Just as he entered the housing estate where he lived, a storm was kicking in badly. Suddenly, their was a loud explosion, and a lightning bolt hit Alex, vapourising him.
"ALEX!" a voice yelled, and David Franklin ran over, to find only the bike remaining. Several other people who had witnessed what had happened stood in disbelief.
Alex however was suffering from shock, lying down on the floor of the corridor of a Japanese High School. Waking up, he saw several girls and guys flocking around, most of the girls in fuku
"Wh..whe..where am I?" he stammered
"This is MSF Highschool, i'm Samuel." a nerd boy said, helping him up, "I guess you're just the latest to arrive."
"Arrive?" Alex asked, "What do you mean arrive!?"
"Calm down, uh, what's your name?" Samuel asked
"Alex Smith." Alex replied
"Samuel Jones, but just Sam please, and i guess you arrived because she sent for you." Sam said
"She?" Alex asked
"Didn't Lady Sakura summon you here because you were unhappy?" Sam asked, "She summoned me because i was suicidal with being constantly bullied."
"Hell no, i was struck by lightning." Alex replied
"Really?" Sam asked, "I guess i'd better explain the situation."
