The Unexpected

THE WIFI IS KILLING ME!

Chapter 4

"SERENA!"

Serena looked up.

"Decided to show up, did you?"

Her eyes were black pools and she was as green as ever. Tears were streaming down her eyes.

Tom looked around. "Real question – WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN THE FORBIDDEN FOREST?" He yelled.

Serena jumped. Tom didn't ever yell.

Tom sighed. "Come on," he picked up Serena and headed towards the Hospital Wing – because where else?

Should I explain? Oh, right.

Tom was strolling through the courtyard, looking for Serena and he heard sobbing in the Forbidden Forest. He went to investigate and Serena was there leaning on a tree on the forest floor. Is that enough?

Now back to the real story.

"She hasn't eaten for two days straight, has she?" Madam Pomfrey asked Tom worriedly.

"She was missing since yesterday," Tom explained.

"Oh, poor thing!" Madam Pomfrey cried. "And she was in the Forbidden Forest?"

Tom nodded. He heard the doors swing open and looked in the direction to see Natalia and Rochelle running over.

"Nick told us you brought Serena over from the Forbidden Forest!" Natalia cried.

"Is she going to be fine?" Rochelle asked nervously.

"Oh, sure," Tom said quietly, "if you weren't going to the dance with me."

"WHAT?" Rochelle cried. "She thinks there's something– what, no! She starved herself for that?"

"Looks like it," Tom said. "And Natalia, too."

Natalia's eyes widened. "Poor girl!" she cried. "Tom and I are just best friends!"

"She doesn't realize," Rochelle reminded her.

"Um, Tom?" Natalia asked, turning to her friend.

"Yeah?"

"You should spend the day with her."

"What?"

Rochelle nodded. "Great idea, Natalia. You know, Tom, make her realize you love her."

"I don't," Tom said simply.

"YOU DON'T?" Natalia and Rochelle cried in unison.

Tom nodded. "Did you think I did?"

"Yeah," Natalia started, "it seemed like–"

"We thought–"

"But, Tom–"

"This just got awkward."

Natalia nodded to Rochelle. She turned back to Tom. "Then who do you love?"

"I haven't figured it out yet," Tom said.

"Oh, alright then," Rochelle turned.

There was an awkward silence, broken by Natalia. "You spend the day with Serena. We'll be going now."

"Yeah," Rochelle nodded. "You know what she'll think if she wakes up and sees us."

They both left, talking amongst themselves.

How was it? By the way,

I HATE THE FRICKIN WIFI!

Alright, see you.
