"Denn die Todten raiten schnell."
For the dead travel fast. It was another boring Monday, the last day of STAR testing. I looked up from my notebook to see my best friend Tara reading a book on Folklore. She and I had skipped tennis because she had forgotten her shorts, and I had 'forgotten' my tennis racket. As I said, it was a TERRIBLY boring day.
Tara slightly raised her eyebrows and looked a bit surprised. It was the look she gave anything she either didn't get, or didn't want to get. I guessed that it was the second one this time. As I repeated the line from Lenore once again, she looked up.
"Huh?" she said, brushing her short, purple hair back from her face.
"Denn die Todten raiten schnell." I repeated. " ' For the dead travel fast.'"
"Oookay." Tara said, giving me that look again, and going back to her book.
Sighing of boredom, I stood up and began searching through the library for something interesting. Nothing seemed worth reading The Giver…. Read it in English and didn't get it…The Hobbit… I bet only Elijah Wood could read it…
As I went deeper into the library, I found a candle, lighted it (Thank God I had tried to light Eric on fire that day!), and continued deeper and deeper. Slowly, I ran my fingers over the books until I found an extremely old volume on the table. It was too dusty to read the title, so I ran my fingers over the print. L…o….r…
"What are you doing here?"
Quickly, I looked up to see a tall, brown haired boy, a bit taller than me, glaring at me. He was Steve, from my PE class. He was a creepy dude who hung out at the library with his best friend, Stu, a major track freak. Both were new here at the school, so I tried to be as polite as possible. (For me that is.)
"Wouldn't you like to know." I said, slowly backing away. I ran through the book cases as the two boys angrily raced after me. The librarian was gonna kill me after this. Grabbing my backpack, I threw the book at Tara, who ran over to Christina, grabbed a red slip, slapped it inside of the book, and the two of us raced out, with the two boys on our tale.
This was the fun thing; Pissing off people. We quickly ran into the D-wing bathroom and collapsed, laughing. Our day of pissing people off was done.
"Man." I said, sighing through my tears. " That was better than trying to set Eric on fire!"
"You did WHAT?" a figure said, standing over us.
(Author's note: Oooooooooo…. Mysterious! Ha, ha, ha, j/k peeples! I hope you keep reading! Did anyone see Queen of the Damned? Well, I plan to use some of Mrs. Rice's information on vampires in here later on, so look forward to that!)
