A Jungle Shortcut Short Story
Seve was not overjoyed at being paired with Grayson for the science project . They were complete opposites . Seve always put others before himself and would do things the right way , while Grayson only cared about himself and loved shortcuts . Despite Seve not liking his partner , they met up after school and went to the library .
Seve Garcia was a 12-year-old Latino boy who had a scrawny build but somehow managed to carry a backpack that was always overflowing with books . Grayson Hyatt , while much shorter than Seve , was visibly stronger . The only time his backpack would have books in it was when he remembered to bring sports magazines to school in case he got bored .
The library was one of Seve ’ s favorite places in the world because he could learn so much . However , to Grayson , it was a place he only went to when necessary . The library was modern and moderately large , and had some tables for doing schoolwork . Seve and Grayson needed to find a book about jungles , and since there were many books about jungles at the library , they had a lot to choose from . One book that caught Seve ’ s eye had a green velvet cover and over 300 pages . Simultaneously , Grayson found a good Sports Illustrated issue in the sports section . “ Come over here ! I think I found something !” Seve said to Grayson . “ Why does it need to be such a big book ?” Grayson whined . I ’ ll just ignore that , thought Seve . He decided to open it . Suddenly , Seve felt a gust of wind in his face , and he couldn ’ t see the library anymore . Instead , he and Grayson were surrounded by a jungle .
