Chapter 9

"So…Pythagoras's Theory-" I began. " The Pythagorean Theorem," he corrected. Who is he, you ask? He is my best friend Sam. "Okay. The Pythagorean Theorem is 'a squared plus b squared equals c squared.'" I looked to see if I was right. "That's right! I think you've got basically got everything down for every subject!" he exclaimed.
I smiled. Together, I got every bit of knowledge I needed to know crammed into my head, and Sam got a review too! I flopped down on his bed. I stared at the ceiling, my smile fading. I could hear the rumble of a car. Sam noticed my sadness. "Hey, what's wrong?" he asked. "My Dad." I simply said. "Oh." He replied. "Here it is, I finally see my father after fifteen years of thinking he was dead – and now he has to leave! I mean can't he call his boss or something?" While I was babbling, Sam came and Sat next to me. "Hey. Calm down. He promised he was gonna come back right? You know he doesn't want to at all, but he has to," he said softly. The tears were spilling across my cheek as I tried to see him. Sam pulled me up and gave me a hug. But I couldn't stop crying. I just couldn't.

I blinked. I was lying down on a bed (I finally found out what it was) with the sun peeping over the horizon. I looked at the time. Or I should say, looked for the time. Okay. I have absolutely no idea where I am. The yesterday comes flooding back to me. I'm at Sam's house! Well technically it's mine too… but whatever. I get off the bed and groped for the light. As I stumbled around, trying to fid the light, the door opened and the light came on. I spun around, amazed.

"Hey Sleeping Beauty. Are you feeling better?" I asked. Diana blinked in confusion. "Uh, yeah. I think. Good Morning to you too." She replied. I laughed. "Alright then. Look outside!" She then pranced to the window, after stumbling around for the light. "It's snowing!" She squeled. "Yeah. We have no school. Dad left a whiles ago to get your clothes. He talked to Jasmine last night. You're right. She is sad you left," I said. "Hey, a little later, we could go outside and play in the snow," I said. Diana almost looked five. She was so excited. Thank god its only early December.
