"How did the first week go?" Mrs. Sanders asked Elliot as soon as he walked into class. He knew what she was talking about, but he didn't want to talk about it.

"Not well, we kinda got off on the wrong foot." Elliot felt really stupid for what happened that night. He had no right to say that, even thought he was offended by what she said. It wasn't so much that he was offended, but it was the way she went about it.

"How so?"

"I said some things that I shouldn't have because I got upset at what she was saying to me." He sat at his desk and opened his book to the assigned lesson that was on the door. "I don't really want to talk about it.

The class started to fill up not soon afterwards and Olivia was the last one to walk in. She had a cast on her arm and a black eye. Elliot could have simply ignored her for the time being, but Mrs. Sanders changed the seats around to accommodate the semester project. So, now Elliot and Olivia were sitting next to each other.

Despite how Elliot felt about what he said to Olivia, he was mad at her. She pushed him in the pool when he had a broken leg. It didn't matter how mad she was, she had no right to do that. He almost drowned because he had on a huge cast and only one working leg.

While, the teacher taught the lesson. Olivia looked outside at the sky. Her head was somewhere else and it looked as though she wanted to escape. It looked as if she was suffocating and Elliot could see what Mrs. Sanders was talking about. Olivia did have a strange look in her eyes and it seemed as though in any minute something was about to happen.

"Ms. Benson, are you paying attention?" Everyone in the class looked at her as she continued to stare out the window. Her eyes were huge and taking in all she saw.

"Yeah." She said so softly that the teacher barely heard her. Olivia told the teacher word for word what was said in the lesson. "Anything else you want you want to know?"

"No, that is all."

The next day, Olivia didn't come in at all. As a matter of fact, she didn't come in for the next four days.
