I sighed, burying my head in my arms, as my teacher droned on about some war in the 1800's. I was so bored and couldn't find a way to entertain myself. I glanced over at the clock again and groaned as i saw there was still 15 minutes left in the class. I took my notebook out and started sketching.
Just as my mind started drifting from reality, a crumpled piece of paper sailed through the air straight into my black hair. i pulled it out and glanced sideways. I saw Danny waving at me obviously trying to get my attention. "Hey Kristy!" he whisper-shouted. "What?" I replied in the same volume. ..."Hi." Danny said.
He started laughing to himself at his own joke. I rolled my eyes at his antics and turned back to my sketch. Suddenly the bell rang, releasing us for the day from this hell they call school. I quickly leapt from my chair and was at the door with my backpack and sketch book in hand in 3 seconds flat. As i started walking towards the exit, Danny caught up to me with a goofy grin.
"Watcha doing?" he asked.
"Oh nothing," I replied. "Just leaving this hell hole to go pick up Lucy."
"Oh yeah, it's Tuesday, isn't it?" he said.
"Yep," I said, popping the p at the end.
"Well, I was wondering," Danny started. "For this Friday's movie night, do you wanna go all old-fashioned with Lord of the Rings, or do you wanna go 'Hasta la vista baby,' with Terminator?"
"Oh, I don't know," I said thinking about it. We both looked at each other with looks of concentration and started cracking up when we saw the other's face.
"Ah well," Danny said giving me another goofy grin. "We can decide tomorrow. Right now, I need to go to work, and you," he said turning to me, "need to pick up your baby sister."
I sighed. "I guess.." Then I laughed. "Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow then. Bye Danny."
"Bye Kristy," he said winking at me. I rolled my eyes and started to walk away.
As I walked towards my sister's kindergarten, I couldn't help but pull my Hollister jacket a bit closer to me as a cold breeze passed by. "Looks like Jack Frost came a little early this year," I muttered to myself. I mean, don't get me wrong. I loved the cold weather. In fact, winter is my favorite season. But I mean really. It's October, and we are already having a freeze in our humble town of Burgess.
Two minutes of walking later and I saw a blue flash pass overhead. My gaze shot up as I looked for the flash that was long gone. What the hell? I thought as I continued down the sidewalk. I was starting to think that maybe I had imagined it. It wasn't a minute later that i saw another flash, this time to my left. I quickly turned towards it, but it was once again gone. I shook my head and once again continued on. "This is it," I mumbled to myself. "I'm finally going mad."
