Chapter 2
Wrong way.
I left the room only to see Pete standing and waiting for me.
"Hey, again, Pete!" I said sarcasticly. "I have to go to AVID, so lets walk and talk." I quickly tripped and got back up. "Awe, Come on! My foot still hurts from first period, and now I broke my boot!"
"Do you want me to carry you?" Pete asked.
"Wait, you think you can carry me and not get me in trouble? Well... My foot really hurts, might as well." He picked me up and waked towards AVID.
"Cool, I thought the only time a man would carry me was when I wa- WHOA!" He left the route in a sprint, and ran to the woods. "Pete, your going the wrong way! I don't even think the woods are school property!"
"I don't think they are, but I'm from some where 'round here."
"What? Some weirdo from the woods is carrying me? Never thought I'd have to say that again."
Pete laughed and said, "Wow, you are very funny miss. My people love humor!"
"Your people love wha?"
"Humor! And you've got lots of it!"
Oh, Crap! I thought, He wants to frikkin eat me! I'm dead!
He ran up to a tall fence, and knowing he couldn't jump over it, I burred my head in his shoulder. I heard his heart beat, it was slow, all most like he'd just been standing for the last 10 minutes. I wanted to lift my head to ask him why, but I could feel his hand holding my head down, almost like he didn't want me to lift it.
"Keep your head down, if you try to lift it to soon down here you could get hurt. I wouldn't want that, now would I?" He said.
I could get hurt? Down here? I thought. Where are we?
"Pete-"
"Shush! I don't want you to do anything but count to 10 in your head. Once you hit 10, lift your head."
I listed and counted. 1, 2, 3, I thought this was stupid, but I kept counting. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. I lifted my head, we where no longer in the woods, no, now, we where is some sort of church, it was just beautiful.
Then the thought hit me, we aren't in Canada any more...
