My phone dinged and I got the text. I smiled and started to reply. K, let's meet over by the Sorcerer's Hole!
There was no reply for a couple minutes, then I got a call while I was almost to the Sorcerer's Hole. I checked the caller ID and saw that it was Léa. I then answered the phone.
Léa laughed sheepishly through the phone. "Where's the sorcerer's hole?" She asked, her voice slightly muffled.
"It's right by the front doors. Where are you?" I asked.
"We're over by the gym," Léa said to me. I face palmed, knowing the gym is all the way across the school.
"Stay there, I'll meet you there," I said and started sprinting there.
I was out of breath by the time I made it to them.
"What took you so long?" Shayla asked.
"Oh, I'm sorry it took me a while to get all the way across a school that I know only through a cartoon!" I said sounded angrily sarcastic.
"Let's go!" Léa yelled.
"Yeah, about that. We're going to have to walk because I got in trouble in the way here by Principal Slimovitz because there's no running in the halls," I said.
Léa facepalmed and started to laugh a bit. It was the first time I had heard her laugh since we had gotten here. Maybe she was getting used to it. The thought of that made me smile.
Once we got there, the first bell rang and the students almost literally climbed on top of us. We don't know what it feels like to have hallways when the bell rings because out school is somewhat "outdoors".
"So that's what that feels like," I said and the second bell rang.
"What are we gonna do now?" Léa asked.
"About what? Going to class or getting out of here?" I asked.
"Getting out of here," Léa replied.
"Well, first of all, we have to make sure that no one can see us so someone has to be on the lookout," I said and Abby nodded before running over to the nearest hallway.
"Why are we here?" Shayla asked. "Couldn't we have stayed over at the gym?"
"No. The sorcerer's hole is full of mysterious magic and some of that mysterious magic must have been the cause of this. Either that or the Nomicon has something to do with this, and that's gonna be a bit harder to get to," I explained the plan.
"How are we going to get the magic out of the sorcerer?" Léa asked.
I paused and facepalmed. "Dang it! I knew I was forgetting something!"
"You don't know!?" Léa asked.
"Do you want the truth or do you want a small lie that makes you feel a bit better?" I asked.
Léa looked seriously ticked but I couldn't take her seriously like that. Her face was priceless. I almost started to laugh but had to hold it it. I eventually started to choke on my own laughter and...that didn't end well. I don't choke to death or anything, I was just coughing for a bit and we got caught.
I'll admit, that was definitely NOT one of my best moments. I just know that I'm going to go on this epic adventure and remember nothing but getting caught. Of corse.
And, out of all of the people to get caught by, we were caught by Principal Slimovitz.
"Okay, Kylie, I'll do the talking," Léa told me as we were following Principal Slimovitz to his office.
"So kids, who are your parents?" asked once we were all in his office.
"Okay, Kylie, you'll do the talking," Léa told me.
