A/N: We are still in "earlier that day." I don't own anybody except for Miracle and Micah, and anybody else I make up.
First period went by so fast. I didn't even realize it until the bell ranged for second period. Unfortunately Geometry, my second period, didn't go so fast. It felt as if the time stopped when I was in there. I like it and all, but it isn't my favorite class. Thank goodness after second period we have a "Back to School Rally "which takes care of third period. Sometimes the rally's are boring and sometimes they can be interesting, but hey they get us out of class. When the bell finally rung for class to end, I hurried up and walked out. I was heading down the hall, when I felt someone grab my wrist. I turned around, and immediately caught my reflexes when I saw Micah.
" How can I be a gentleman if you won't give me a chance?" He asked with a grin
"First of all, don't scare me like that! You scared the crap out of me!" I say, calming down.
" Well excuse me if I told you I was going to wait for you after second period, and walk with you to the Back to School Rally."
" Oh! I'm so sorry, I completely forgot about that." I say with an sincere look on my face. " I was in geometry, and I was so anxious to get out and th-...
"Relax", he says. "It happens, there isn't a reason to explain." I was only joking with you." He then gives me that bright smile that makes me smile. It's like whenever he gives me that smile, it just makes me happy and want to smile as well. He took his hand in mine, and we walked to the gym together.
The rally started with some entrance music, and a slide show of events/field trip we go to. In the beginning while everyone was getting settled, we had moments to talk, and be social. Then it showed all of the clubs we could be in etc. Basically the exciting stuff before the speech. I didn't know that so many people went to our school, until I saw a lot of the seats filled with freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors.
"Hello Softwood High, and welcome back!" Our principle exclaimed, and we all cheered.
"Know that we are back in school..."
I kind of tuned him out because he mentioned Softwood's history, and I am only a freshman so that's how that went. Then he talked about the rules and what not. We were already about thirty-five minutes in the rally. Half of the stuff he talked about, was mainly for the juniors, and seniors. He was really encouraging though, but sometimes I had to keep telling myself that it's getting us out of class.
"You guys aren't kids anymore, you are young people who are growing up, so I expect for you guys to be mature, and behave." The prep rally was quite interesting though. "I expect great things from each and every one of you, including you too freshman." I guess he started to wrap it up, because people were losing interest in his whole speech.
"So as I conclude..." When he said that, a lot of people woke up, and started to get back into focus.
"I want to conclude with saying, let's make this a great school year, not just for me, but for all of us". We all clapped, but majority of them were clapping because the rally was finally over. When I looked at my watch, I saw that it was lunch time. Looking for Micah and seeing that he is busy talking to friends, I tell him that I will see him at lunch. He smiles, and nods. I head out the door, talking to one of my new friends about the rally. One thing I don't like about the whole school is that the second gym we have, is a little to far from the campus. After we discussed our opinions of the rally, we went our separate ways. I am trying to head to lunch, but it is so crowded.
Deciding I will take the short cut, I walk in a different direction from the crowd. It soon becomes a quiet walk, and less crowded. While I am walking, I pass what someone told me use to be a storage room. Looking at it, it looks worn out, and everything is just torn or broken. I decide to take a closer look, because I am a very curious person. Getting closer I see that the windows are cracked, and some are busted. I start to examine the place. Looking at the place I see that this place should've been remodeled or something a long time ago. It is in terrible condition. Once I saw that there wasn't anything interesting about the place, I turn back to leave when something catches the corner of my eye. I turn around and look closer, being careful not to touch the glass. Looking, although it is very dark and without any light, I see a person in there on the ground! I stand back and kick the door open, and rush inside.
When I rush inside, I am greeted by a horrific stench. I can tell there isn't any air condition which is means there isn't any air breathable in here. I run over to the person, and turned them over. I see that it is a girl who is barely breathing. Thank God everybody else is taking the other way. I put my hands over her, and begin to heal her. While I am doing my best to heal her, I start to feel even more weak than when I healed the bird. I guess because she either needs more healing than the bird, or she is a whole lot bigger than the bird. When I remove my hands from her, I know exactly who caused the incident, and begin to get angry. A mean girl I know and her friend closed the door on her, locked it, and walked to the rally laughing. I push these thoughts away, and turned my attention back to the girl. I see that her breaths are more fluent, and start to get deeper. She soon rises up a little, and gasps.
"Hey are you ok?" I ask
" Who's there! Who said that?" She ask sounding panicked.
I start to get confuse when I see her looking everywhere but at me.
" Can't you see me?" I ask
"No! It's pitch black in here...wait did I go blind?
Ugh! I keep forgetting that my "gifts" include better senses than people. Which means she can't see anything right now.
" Here let me help you." I say helping her up, and trying my best to help her get out of here.
Once we get out, we both squint a little when we see the sun again. Looking at her, I see she is very pretty. She may be pretty, but she isn't the brightest star if you know what I mean.
"You had me scared there for a moment." I say, setting her down.
"How did you even find me?" She asks putting her hand on her forehead.
I didn't want to answer that because I couldn't think of anything at that moment.
" The better question is, what happened?" Even though I already knew, I just wanted to change the subject.
"Um well you see I... I was... I can't remember."
Oh great I know exactly what happened to her, but she doesn't even remember how she even got in there.
"So you don't remember anything?" I ask
" The only thing I remember is me getting ready to go to the rally, and I just happened to come across this place. I thought I heard a noise come from the storage, and so I open door and went to check it out. That's all I remember." She exclaims rubbing her head. Knowing she wanted to know how I found her, I start to act as if I am guessing what happened.
" Well I found you on the ground barely breathing, I guess you didn't have any fresh air to breathe so you passed out."
" Then why does my head hurt?" She asked. Now that part I didn't know.
"Maybe you fell on something that knocked you unconscious. Because there is a knot on it." That part I was guessing on because I really didn't know.
Before she asked any questions I say " Maybe you should have the nurse go look at it. Do you need any help?"
" No I can find her on my own," She said smiling. Thinking to myself I say wow she isn't that bright.
" No that's not what I meant. What I... never mind."
Getting up she turns toward the campus. Turning back she says " Thanks for saving my life. By the way my name is Lilly."
Knowing that she won't be able to hear me all the way over there, I just smile and give her a thumbs up.
So she yells "Yes, I am ok", and leaves.
I slap my hand to my forehead. Why does she think I'm asking if she is ok? I head to the cafeteria not just to eat, but to get some answers. This wasn't an accident but an incident, and I was going to find the girls who did it.
A/C: So this is the second chapter, more to come soon. I know that I said that I would make my chapters more longer, but I was so anxious to get this one up. If you think this is interesting, just keep on reading. Don't forget to review!
