I hesitated, and then followed him up the hill.
It had all started that morning. I had woken up and gone to school, like normal. After my first class – Science – was over I had to walk all the way to the other side of the school to get to History. I walked briskly down the hall then took a right. I opened the second door on the left and quickly walked in, hoping I wasn't late. But of course, I was. As I shut the door everyone turned.
"Hi," I managed.
"Miss Holmes, glad you could make it, take a seat," Mr. O'Conner said, "Now class as I was saying, this is your new classmate, Grover." I looked up from my doodle to see a short boy wearing a Rasta cap at the front of the room.
Grover smiled weakly and then walked down the aisle and took the empty seat next to me. He gave me a small wave then looked down and muttered something inaudible under his breath. I raised my eyebrows then turned my attention back to Mr. O'Conner.
The lesson was as boring as ever and with my ADHD it seemed even longer and tedious then it already was. After the bell rang I jumped out my seat, grabbed my things and hurried out of the room.
"Hey wait up!" I heard a voice yell. I turned and saw the new boy limping toward me.
"Are you okay?" I asked, noticing the odd way he walked.
"I'm fine; it's just a disability," he said hurriedly, "Your Sylvia, right?"
"Yeah, that's me, how did you know?"
"It seems you're popular around here, aren't you?" He said with a look in his eyes I couldn't define that made something inside me want to start going on an adventure, like in the movies.
"Well, I guess so," I said. It was absolutely true though. In this small middle school I had made my name well known.
Grover laughed and said, "Great, so… uh, what's your next class?"
"Gym,"
"Oh, me too, but I can't participate,"
"Why not?" I asked, knitting my eyebrows. Grover simply pointed to his legs, "Oh, well then I guess I'll see you around!" I smiled and walked off to gym.
When I was all changed into my Green and Blue gym clothes I walked out of the locker rooms, ready for another game of dodge ball.
"Okay listen up! Today is going to be a bit different! We're playing basketball so I hope you all know how to play because I'm not going to explain! Now everyone line up!" We did and she assigned half of us bright orange pennies. I got handed mine and I slipped it on over my head. I looked down disgusted at what I was wearing.
The green T-shirt with the schools emblem under my orange penny. As if that wasn't horrid enough I was wear ugly blue shorts and some old beat up sneakers. Not to mention the gross purple high socks.
After gym was over the rest of the day went by in a haze although every time I'm done with gym I appreciate my regular pretty clothes.
As I was walking home from school I heard a shout, "WATCH OUT!" I turned to see Grover who had apparently changed into fuzzy brown pants. He was staring into the sky. I looked up and saw the most terrifying thing I had ever seen.
