Chapter 4: Sight

Chapter 4: Sight

The next morning I was at my locker talking to Rachel about my encounter yesterday.

                “Wow, that happened to you!? That’s insane. Is James O.K!? Are you O.K!?” Rachel questioned.

                “I’m fine but, James told me something I had never heard before!”

                “What did he say?”

                “Well…” I started, then I saw him walking towards us.

                “OOOH. I think that’s him right there.” Rachel teased.

                “Stop!” I whined as I playfully pushed her.

                “What are you two saying about me?” He asked as he crossed his arms.

                “Well I was just…” I say sheepishly.

“Ding, Ding, Ding!” That was the bell. I had to head on to my English class. I’m so lucky that we have a test today that I studied three hours for.

Just great.

                “I gotta go to class now. See you guys later.”

I said bye then went to English.

I got there and noticed that the desks were arranged differently. Probably because we had the test.

The teacher, Ms. Kelly, took roll. I sat in the back next to a couple other girls. Our class wasn’t really that big, so it was fairly easy to stay focused.

She passed out a packet to everybody.

This test should be easy.

I opened the page and was shocked at what I saw.

                                “Alright class, what I have passed out to you is the review packet for the. It has been post-poned until next week.”

I couldn’t believe it.

First I got attacked, Second, I studied for hours all night for the test, now I get a thick review packet instead of the test.

Unbelievable.

 

1 Long Boring Review Later.

 

                “Alright class, your homework will be to complete pages 4 and 5 in your packet.”

Yay! Just what I need. A time-consuming packet that took away my personal freedom. Thank you Ms. Kelly. UGH!

The bell rung signaling the end of class.

390Time for lunch. Thank God.

I looked around the cafeteria for my best friend. Everyone was wandering around and talking with their friends.

I saw Rach and she saw me too. She invited me over to a table and we sat and talked.

There was no sign of James anywhere in the cafeteria.

Strange, usually he’s here by now.

I let out a sigh and just pulled out my sketchbook. I am not a good artist, but I do like to make little doodles. Rach, however is an amazing artist. She can draw Anime freestyle! She always gives me tips on ways to improve my artwork. I try my best but it isn’t my forte.

                “So you didn’t finish telling me what he said.” Rachel started.

                “Oh right! He told me that I’m an amazing girl and that I shouldn’t treat myself like I’m less than.” I said.

She gasped and then covered her mouth in astonishment.

                “OH MY GOSH! I can’t believe he said that! If a guy said that to me, I’d be speechless.”

                (Gasp) “I think he likes you!”

I turned to her and I blushed wildly.

                “NO! Don’t be silly.” I said. “He doesn’t like me…who could blame him.”

I was unlikeable.

She giggle and muttered something I couldn’t hear.

For half the lunch period we didn’t see him. I was kind of sad but I didn’t worry too much. He’s probably hanging out with his friends.

I wasn’t really hungry but I decided to get in line and I got a fruit cup with a bottle of water.

Once I got of line I looked and saw someone talking to Rachel at the table. I couldn’t quite see who it was.

When I got to the table, I was surprised to see who it was.

It was someone I haven’t seen in a long time.
