Chapter 2
I was too scared to start flying because my survival instinct was telling my to scream. The shards of rock were coming closer and closer to us until I could see Benny take out a wooden stick. He waved it around a few times and then we were back in our neighborhood. We weren't falling anymore. Since after Benny saved our lives I now wanted to punch him in the face.
"This whole time you had a magic wand in your pocket?" I shouted at him.
"I'm sorry, I forgot about it," he said.
"You could of killed us!" I shouted back.
"Excuse me I'm not the vampire here, you know you can fly."
I couldn't argue with Benny about that. I didn't argue with him and all four of us went on to school without talking to each other. We walked down a couple of blocks which were all houses until we got to the campus of Whitechapel high school. We were lucky because class started in five minutes so we weren't in China for so long. We all walked in and Ethan and Benny went separate ways. Rory and I have the same class together. We looked around the hallways and everyone seemed to be wearing hats besides Rory and I. I looked up at the banner in the middle of the hall and it said 'Hat Day.'
I'm not a big fan of spirit week and Rory seemed to have forgotten his hat. I looked around and saw students wearing all different kinds of crazy hats. There were baseball caps, stetsons, space helmets, and those weird hats with plastic fruit on the top of them. I pretty much ignored everyone's hat and went to my locker. I opened it up and received my books to go to my first period class. I went down a couple of hallways and got to my first period class which was science class. This class is not my best class, the highest I've got in it was a "C+."
Everyone sat down in their seats before the piercing sound of the school bell told everyone that class has started. Our teacher walked in and told us to take out our textbooks and turn to page sixty seven. Before we did the teacher told everyone in the class to take of their hats. I guess he isn't a fan of spirit day too. I got out my book which was my giant red one and turned to the page the teacher requested. It was about biology.
Biology is not my favorite thing to do because it means that I would have to dissect a frog or something which is what we were going to do today. We got our lab coats and we had to choose a partner. Of course Rory and I became partners throughout the entire room. We went back to our lab stations to prepare all of our science work. The teacher came back in with a bunch of dead frogs in a bag a few minutes later. We all had to get one. Rory went over and got one and brought it to our table.
"Cody, look at it, it's all slimy!" Rory said resting it in his hands.
The sight of that frog made me want to barf.
"Just hand it over to me."
I got the frog while Rory went to his desk to grab his text book. It has this awful smell to it, it was this chemical smell that was made to preserve the body of the animal. Rory returned a few seconds with the book for our instructions. The first step was to make a small incision in the abdomen. I took the small scalpel from the table and placed it right on the frog's flesh. I made sure to do the instructions carefully and I cut it softly down the middle. When the flesh opened this smell came out and there was no blood. All of the blood must of dried out with the organs.
I cut under the fat of the frog and it showed everything from the skeleton to the digestive system. It makes you want to slap the science teacher in the face for doing things like these.
"Wow, that looks so gross," said Rory.
I ignored what Rory said and continued with the project.
A few hours later I was in lunchroom standing in line for lunch. My friends were already at the table. I grabbed a red lunch tray and went up to the lunch lady or man or whatever he or she was. I set my plate in front of the person and a giant pile of whatever went on my plate. I must be the only one here who gets hot lunch. It look so weird, it smelled like pizza but it was yellow and it had hair and mushrooms growing out of it.
I sat down with Ethan, Benny, and Rory.
"What's up guys?" I said.
"Something awful happened to me this morning," said Benny.
"Did you turn your math teacher into a bed stand?" I said.
"No, I was playing my nintendo this morning and my teacher took it away."
"Were you playing it during class?"
"I was about to put it away but then the teacher took it away from me."
"So what do you want us to do about it?"
"I think we should sneak in the school tonight and steal it back!
