David Lowe sat on a bridge in Central Park, gazing down at his biology class with certain boredom. They were supposed to be getting water samples for their next lab, but it was turning into a splash party. The blue eyed blond haired youth sighed and leaned back to find the substitute behind him.
"Hello Mr. Parker." David immediatly sat back up and zipped his Invader Zim jacket over his black t-shirt. Feeling somewhat alarmed, he placed his hands on his knees, pulling somewhat on his levis.
Peter Parker leaned down towards David and smiled. "Hey what's the matter Davey? How come you aren't participating?" He asked with small concern in his voice.
"I already got my sample." David lifted a small jar of dirty water and Peter smiled. David didn't mention that only his dad called him Davey, a dad who really was never there.
After a few moments of letting the rest of the class have fun, Mr. Parker clapped his hands. "Okay, back on the bus!" Twenty-one kids scrambled from the water and up to where a large yellow bus was parked by the curb. But Peter cautiously watched two boys make their way up the bridge where David was sitting.
"Mr. Parker do we have to go? We all brought our stuff, we could just go home." One boy said.
The other boy stood behind David, a malicious smile on his face. "Hey Davey." He mocked.
Standing up, David turned and rolled his eyes. "You know Ricky, you don't scare me." There was a sort of waiver in his voice. A mix of fear and courage.
Ricky's smile faded and turned into an embarrassed sneer. "You think you're so brave?" He jabbed David sharply in the shoulder.
"I'm not fighting." He turned to leave when Ricky grabbed him and shoved him up against the bridge railing, causing him to drop his jar of water.
The crash got Peter's attention and he rolled his eyes. 'Ninth grade bullies.' He turned around just as David flipped over the railing.
Splash!
"David!" Peter rushed to the railing then turned to Ricky. "Get back on the bus now!" As the teen walked back to the bus, Peter rushed down to the river side.
The river wasn't deep, about three feet in depth, but it was colder than ice and for a moment, David splashed about until finally getting over his shock. "You would think for early spring, the waterwould be a tad warmer." He muttered as he stood in knee deep water. Shivering, he made his way towards the bank were Peter stood.
"You okay?" Peter asked as he slugged his way to the bank.
"Yeah just col- Ah!" David tripped and face planted in the dirt. "Ow!" He pulled himself up and let Peter help him out of the water.
That's when David saw it.
Somewhere between where he had stepped and fallen, he had unearthed something. Not a lit but somewhat that he spotted it as he was lifted from the mud. The part he had unearthed was gold and looked to be the edge of something. His mind danced with reasons of what it was and soon his thoughts were unfolding in his brain.
"Let's get you back to the school." Peter guided the shivering teen back to the bus, but it was obvious that David wasn't paying his substitute any attention.
