Chapter Two

Period C and D

Gibson walked down the hall to the library. He had study hall and Gibson wanted to relax. He wasn't thinking straight today.

"Here it is, the library." Gibson said as he walked inside.

Gibson walked over to the counter and asked the lady about study hall.

"Oh of course. Just sign in over here. Your name, class room, and grade."

"Um…I'm new to this school thing. What grade is sophomore?"

"You're in the tenth grade. You see, freshmen are ninth graders, juniors are eleventh graders, and seniors are twelfth graders."

"Oh, thank you."

"You're welcome."

As Gibson started to sign in the door opened and closed. Some one walked in and the alarm went off. This made Gibson jump. He saw a girl with two purple braids, a purple dress with a checkered bottom, black belt, purple leggings, and black flats.

"Oh, sweety, do you have a book?"

"Oh, yeah. Sorry about that." The girl walked over to the counter and pulled a fairly large book. "Here it is. I was going to return it today anyways."

"You read this in two hours?"

"Yes. It was very good. I love when girl defeats the villain."

"That's mine too. Well, just sign in Sea Song."

"Thank you." The girl walked over to where Gibson was signing in and waited. After a moment, the girl wanted to say something because Gibson was taking forever, but she didn't. She just said, "Hi, I'm Sea Song. What's your name?"

Gibson looked up at her, then behind him, then back at the girl.

"Me?"

"Yes, you. What's your name?"

"My name is Hal Gibson, but please call me Gibson."

"Hmmm…I like that name, and it seems familiar. Do I know you?"

"I don't believe I know a Sea Song. Sorry."

"That's alright. It's just I forgot my memory the other day and I don't remember anything."

"Oh dear, that's terrible."

"Yeah I know. Um…are you done?"

"Oh, sure."

Gibson stepped aside so Sea Song could sign in and then walked over to the book selves, searching for a good book. He had just sat down when someone walked over to him. Gibson looked up and saw Sea Song, and noticed the color of her eyes, a beautiful blue.

"Um…uh…may I help you?" He asked.

"No, just wanted to talk some more. I really feel like I know you. Do you mind if I sit down?"

"Sure."

Sea Song sat down and Gibson set his book down and they started talking. Everyone else walked in and signed in.

"I was sure Gibson would've came in here for study hall. Where could he be?" Carbon asked looking around.

"There he is. Talking to some girl with purple braids." Sprx said pointing over to a table.

"I've never seen her before." Melodie said. Then, it took a minute to realize, "That's Seala!" Melodie whispered a shout.

"Oh, no. We gotta get him away from her." Nova said.

Nova started walking over when some one grabbed her arm.

"Wait Nova. It doesn't look like she's hurting him. I mean, look at him. Gibson's laughing. That's as much as I've seen happy from him since Camp Jam." Blaze pointed out.

"You've got a point. Well, came I just go sit with them? Just to make sure nothing happens?" Nova said.

"Let her go Blaze. I think it's a good idea." Melodie said.

Nova walked over to the table.

"Hey Gibson. Can I sit with you guys?" Nova greeted.

"Of course Nova."

Nova sat down across from Gibson.

"Hi, my name's Sea Song. Gibson was telling me about you."

"You were? Well, then, I hope it was good."

"It was. I can't believe how tough you are."

"Ha-ha. It's nothing."

Back over where the others are, they watched silently as Nova spoke to them.

"She laughing?" Sprx asked.

"I guess so."

Back at the table, the three were laughing but then Sea Song stopped and looked sad. The laughter stopped after a moment.

"What's wrong Sea Song?" Nova asked.

"I-I-" The bell rang. "I gotta go!"

Then Sea Song grabbed her bag and ran out of the library. Gibson and Nova stood up and walked over to the others.

"What was that all about?" Chiro asked.

"She just seemed scared there for a second." Gibson said.

"Well, we better get to class. Come on." Carbon said.

They walked out of the library. Carbon, Chiro, Gibson, Antauri, and Melodie all had science together. It was all the way on the top floor, third floor.

"Here we are. The science room. Room 327." Carbon said.

The five walked in and sat down in the back, except for Gibson who sat in an empty seat in the front. After a moment, a big kid walked in and walked over to Gibson.

"Hey you! Get out of my seat!" The kid screamed.

Gibson looked up and looked around.

"I don't see you're name anywhere."

"I don't care. Now get out of my seat."

Gibson kept refusing to get up. That's when the kid picked Gibson up by the collar and threw him across the room. The others ran over to make sure Gibson wasn't hurt to bad.

"Gibson, are you alright?" Melodie asked.

He didn't answer. The impact was to hard.

"Hey you! You're a big, fat jerk!" Carbon shouted.

"What'd you call me?" The big kid asked getting Carbon's face.

"You heard me, you're a big fat jerk! Picking on someone smaller!"

"Oh, you are going to pay for that!"

"Go ahead. I dare you!"

"Carbon, no!" Melodie stepped in. "I'm sorry about. She's got a bit of a temper."

"I'll let it go this time, but kept your friend out of my seat."

Then he walked away and threw Gibson's backpack over to them. That's when the teacher walked in. A young woman, about twenty years old.

"What happened in here?" She asked as she saw Gibson.

"That big bully threw him across the room." Carbon said quickly.

Then the teacher pointed to the door.

"To the principal's office young man."

Then the big kid walked out of the room just as Sea Song walked in.

"Sorry I'm late Miss. Evans. I had to-Oh no! Gibson! What happened?" She asked as she ran over.

"Some kid threw him across the room." Chiro answered.

"May I look? I believe I could help." Sea Song said. The four looked at each other then nodded and stepped aside. She knelt down next to Gibson. "Can you hear me? Try to move your finger if you can hear me." Gibson moved his fingers slightly. "Good. Can you sit up?" He tried to sit up slowly. "Let me help you. Okay, good. Now stay against the wall here for support." Sea Song looked at his eyes. "You better call the nurse. I think he might have whip lash from the impact."

The teacher ran over to the phone and dialed the nurse. Sea Song stood up and faced the others.

"Thanks Sea Song." Carbon said.

"You're welcome. And don't worry about that other kid. He's a big softy."

"He doesn't look like it." Melodie said.

"Looks can be deserving. Ah!" Sea Song bent down to her knees.

"Sea Song! What's wrong?" Carbon asked kneeling down next to her.

"My head is pounding! Ah!" Sea Song started glowing.

Then Gibson started glowing and screaming as well. After a moment they both stopped and passed out.

"Sea Song? Gibson? What the heck just happened Melodie?" Carbon asked.

"I don't know."

After a few minutes, the nurse came in and took both, Gibson and Sea Song to the infirmary. The period pasted by and everyone met in the stair case. The four walked in the stair case and saw the others.

"Hey, where's Brain Frame?" Sprx joked.

"At the infirmary." Carbon answered.

"What happened?" Elella asked.

"A big kid threw him across the room."

"Ah! No way!" A girl screamed.

Everyone looked and saw a familiar girl.

"Starr! Karalynn! No way!" Gizmo said.

The three hugged then let go.

"What you doing here?" Starr asked.

"We live here."

"At the school Sprx-y?" Karalynn joked.

"Don't call me that!"

"What-ev. So where's Gibson?" Karalynn asked.

"The infirmary. Some kid beat him up." Nova answered.

"Oh great. He is at it again!" Karalynn shouted.

"Who is?" Otto asked.

"Bret. My older brother. Ah! That is it!"

Karalynn walked away.

"Oh no. Karalynn, don't do anything rash!" Starr shouted.

"So the huge kid that was in class is her brother?" Carbon asked.

"Yeah. She comes from a family of older brothers, remember?" Starr pointed out.

Then the bell rang again.

"That's the bell. Better get to class. See ya all later." Starr said running off.

"We better go too. I've got Math with Nova and Blaze. What about you?" Carbon said.

"I got English." Chiro answered.

"We've got Foreign Language. See ya." Elella said walking away with Sprx in the follow.

"And the rest of us have Art together." Antauri answered.

"Neat. See ya later guys." Carbon said running up the stairs with Nova and Blaze in the follow.
