Sorry for the wait-I actually wrote all 11 chapters in one day, but thought ahead enough to wait to post some of them. I knew I would be really busy and might not get to write! I'll just skip the SuperBowl. ;) I really don't like football! Here's Chapter 10-with more coming soon!
High:
Cold air rushed through the dark, dank classroom. Zoey and Mykayla shivered simultaneously and grinned nervously at each other. Professor Snape was handing back their first homework assignments today, and they both had high hopes for high grades. They had both been in all Honors and Accelerated classes at home, and they saw no reason to slack off here.
As he approached their row, Mykayla tore a piece of paper quickly from her Muggle notebook under cover of another student's sobbing. She grabbed a lime green glittery ballpoint pen and quickly scribbled
no one seems very happy about their grades. should we be worried?
She tossed the note to Zoey, who glanced briefly at it before grabbing her red sparkly pen and scribbling on the scrap before tossing it back.
idk. i guess we're about to find out.
Mykayla quickly shoved the paper in her bag as Snape handed her her essay. They thought they'd gotten away with it until he sneered,
"Writing notes in class? Five points from Gryffindor. Hand it over and be glad it isn't more."
Both girls stared at him.
"Now." he snarled.
Mykayla reached into her bag and pulled out the note, handing it to him. He glanced briefly at it.
"Poor grammar and spelling. What does I-D-K mean?" he asked, looking at Zoey.
"I don't know." she whispered, terrified now of him.
"Of course you know what it means-you wrote it!" he snapped.
"It's an acronym for 'I don't know'." she replied, more confidently. She looked him in the eye with something like amused mockery glinting in her eyes.
So you don't even know the simplest things like acronyms? She seemed to say.
He huffed and stalked off, refusing to even acknowledge her challenge with a glare. She smirked behind his back.
She needs to get off her high and grow up! He thought sourly, but he couldn't forget the bright and lively sparkle in her eyes, inviting him into her life...No. He couldn't go beyond teacher/student. Even though he was sure there was a way he could get her alone, completely private, and no one would be the least suspicious. If she wasn't so high up...
Please review-it will encourage me to keep writing! ;D
