Chapter 1- In Just Two Months

Memories, as time goes on, are known to fade. It is also known that some memories can be taken away. In about two months I am going to be one of those, whose mind will be wiped. Not totally but just enough that I won't remember the best parts of my life.

Two months everything I had ever know will change. Two months, I will change. I'll probably stop liking Rainbow Monkeys, or stuff animals in general. I might not be as cheerful. I'm already changing my clothing. Though I doubt the color green will decrease as my favorite color. In two months, I will forget my friends just like they had forgotten about me. And I suppose, most importantly, in two months it will be my birthday. My thirteen birthday.

As the youngest in my sector, I had always known that I would be the last to leave. I had never realized that I will also be the only one in my eight grade school year that is still twelve years old while everybody else would be thirteen. The newer members of my organization, the Kids Next Door, had thought I was brave, going to classrooms filled with these almost adults. But really I was scared because despite being one of oldest operatives, I am now the kid with no friends in school. My original sector won't remember me. I don't want to be alone.

Don't worry numbuh three, you aren't going to be alone.

First days of school used to be my favorite kind of days. It would be the days where you could see friends that had left for the summer and had grown. But this is the year where everything is going to be different.

I grabbed my lucky four leaf clover Rainbow Monkey and carefully stuff it in my bag. I double checked to make sure I had all my supplies. This is going to be the first year where Numbuh 5- excuse me, um Abigail, isn't going to remind me about notebooks or pencils. Or even lending me things I did forget.

Once I checked, then double check, all my stuff; I started to walk down stairs. My mom was already rushing to work like always. My dad was reading the paper. Mushi had already started eating her cereal. She was already ready and must have been in a hurry to leave. I began to make my own cereal as well. I stared at the box of Rainbow Munchies. Am I going to stop eating this too?

After breakfast I went back up stairs to get dress. As to not raise suspicion to the other students, I had to slightly update my wardrobe. It was long sleeve green dress shirt with a black skirt that went down to just barely above my knees. I had put my hair into a high pony tail. As I stood in the mirror, I could barely recognize myself. I already look like them.

Hastening down to catch the school bus with my green backpack sliding on my left shoulder, I had just barely managed to get there on time. The bus was crowded as usual and I had barely got a seat. This was the moment that I knew this was going to be a long two months.

Welcome Back Numbuh-

Here it is the front of the school. The middle school defiantly and definitely haven't change. But looking around. I notice the students have.

There were some pass operatives that were talking to others that they totally wouldn't before. I saw Fanny with Rachel, at least somethings don't change. As I was looking around I saw an orange jacket that caught my eye. I turn to fully see who it is and well I saw him. I saw him and he definitely was staring at me while two other familiar figures were following him. It was Wally. The other two were totally Hoagie and Abby.

Abigail was easy enough to recognize while her hair was now down and her short are visible; her red hat had remained. Hoagie went through a totally change. He was skinnier than he was a couple months ago, his cap change to a normal brown baseball cap. He is now wearing a white t-shirt with a blue open button up shirt over it. The both of them look so familiar yet so different than before.

A small pit sank in my stomach, I missed them. But as a still commission operative of the kids next door, I can't go talk to them unless they speak with me first.

I still realize that Wally was still staring at me. He was no longer wearing a hoodie but a white undershirt and an orange jacket that covered it. His hair was still its stupid bowl shape. Though the one thing that hit me hard was the fact he was taller. And by taller, I mean, he looked to be my height. Maybe even slightly taller.

My, how Wally has change. Yet I can't help but smile as he walked by. I notice that he smiled back. I had also realized that as I was watching him, and him watching me, because I am standing still while he is continually walking, he wasn't looking where he was walking. He strode right into the school wall. And fell backwards onto his butt.

The smile on my face went away quickly. It wasn't long before Abby and Hoagie ran towards him, snickering. I couldn't make out what they said but I observed both of them picking him up. Then he turned towards me. I might of panic as I gave a small wave with a smile. Still in panic mode, I turned back towards the front of the school doors as I ran inside. I guess I won't ever know what they were talking about, but it won't even matter. In two months, I won't even remember their names or recognize their faces. In two months.

"Wow, Wally, I never thought of you as a wallflower!" Hoagie smirked to himself. He not so delicately pulled Wally up by his right arm. As Abigail pulled him up with his left.

"Abby is going to pretend; you just didn't make that joke"

She intensely watches Wally turn himself to look at the tall oriental girl. Wally, himself, had ignored the two of them to shyly wave at the young girl before she took off. When she was out of sight, he groaned.

"Oh, c'mon man. It's not that bad. I'm sure she didn't think any of less of you because you hit straight unto a wall. If she did, then she wouldn't have waved at you. And nobody else was even looking at that hilarious fall"

Wally turns his head ever so slightly towards Hoagie, just to shoot him a glare. It meant stop talking now, please.

"Look, Abby knows that everything is going to be fine. She was staring at you too."

Adjusting her hat, she pulled the boys forward into the school doors.

"Let's go boys. Or we are going to be late."

The two unwilling participants grumbled about her pushing. One of them had mumbled something of lines of 'oi I didn't even want to go to this cruddy old school' yet never the less all three trudge through the halls.

Murmurings can be heard through classrooms and near the lockers. Abigail listen and she watch. Her focus shifted to Wally. Wally was scanning the area. A year ago, he would have done that to see lurking prey. But Abby knows him better than that, even if they had just met three months ago. He was searching for that pretty Asian girl.

"Looking for something. Or should I say, someone?"

Wally whipped his head.

"What? No of-f course I ain't looking for someone. I uh don't remember anybody here."

Abigail was not convincing, as well as Hoagie if he was paying attention and not to a pretty girl. And now Hoagie was going towards the girl in haste. Abby knew she should stop him cause the girl interest couldn't be more not on him but she let it pass. He is going to have to learn sometime.

"Well, you know, I don't even know her name."

Wally started fidgeting with his hands. Abigail attention swung back at him.

"You'll figure it out." Abigail spoke with concise and delicately chosen words, "She might be in our grade. And she is in the school. You'll see her again. Abby promises you that."

"Yeah, you're right" Wally began to smile.

"Abby always is"

Hoagie came marching back to them, sullenly this time. He obviously got rejected. Abigail just sighed.

"Abby always is"

Neither of them saw a sad smile dropped on her face as they all spit to their first class.

Only two more months.

Ending Part One…
