The Secret Life of the Backyard Kids
Jorge's journal entryDear Diary,
I'm not a normal teenage boy anymore. Well, I wasn't really, because I'm a rich kid who eventually got superpowers. It's too bad in a world where I'm lucky enough to get both, I'm not allowed to not have a total jerk for a dad. You see, after my mother died, my dad made me be perfect at everything. Like, I have to be handsome and intelligent and stuff like that. I couldn't have a bad hair day, or even a B+ on a test. My father didn't give me enough love, so my butler and nanny took over those roles. It's not really the same, however.
Some people think I'm like Batman, what with me being a troubled rich kid who has a double life Jorge's journal entry

TSLOTBK Chapter 15: The big fightJorge went to the mall as usual, what with eating out and shopping at his favorite stores, Abercrombie and Fitch, Hollister, and Pac Sun, but he also bumped into Tiffany, just like his butler said.
Tiffany was wearing black eyeshadow, and her face was pale and her hair darker than usual. She was also wearing a sleeveless black dress, the same one she wore when she turned into a cat, a matching hat, and lots of spike jewelry and gloves.

It started out normal, when he was woken up by Emily, and went to school. Then he saw his cousin Pablo. He was wearing a "The Mask of Zorro" t-shirt.
"Hello, Pablo."
"Hey, Jorge."
"I like your shirt."
"Thanks. It's Zorro-let me show you..."
"Tah-Dah!" he said, opening up his jacket.
"Very nice."
Adrian let his Spanish class watch West Side Story, because Jorge, Pablo, and Maria were the only kids in the Spanish class-everyone else was out of school or was doing another class-and they were all Hispanic kids who knew Spanish very well.
