Chapter 9

Meg's POV

"Okay, Ian and Natalie, I think you can grab some blankets from our beds and make yourself a place to sleep-"

"I am most certainly not sleeping on the floor!" Natalie objected.

"Where else do you suppose you can sleep?" Ian pointed out.

Natalie murmured something to him, but then sighed. "Fine. I guess I'm sleeping on the floor." She yelped at the end of the sentence, but then gulped down her misery.

"Right….. You guys have fun with that…. Meg and I are going back to the library…" Dan said.

Amy looked at him in shock.

"Hey! Don't judge me!" Dan said.

We walked down the hallway and into the library.

"Oh god, this book is huge!" Dan exclaimed.

"How ironic. A book about the Titanic on the Titanic." I acknowledged. "Something's definitely going on here."

"I'll say."

I skimmed through the book as fast I could. So far, it had been all about the Titanic. Things like how it had been made by White Star Line, and how numerous famous and rich people were on the boat; like John Jacob Astor, the richest man in the world, Mr. Straus, the founder of Macy's, Broadway producers Henry and Rene Harris, and silent film actress Dorothy Gibson.

The book had told me random things like that it had a swimming pool, a squash court, a gymnasium, and other great features. But nothing seemed to stick out as useful.

It said that it was four blocks long, eleven stories tall, and had four giant smokestacks, one of which was fake. I didn't care about any of it! But worse, I still had about twenty more chapters in this book!

I slammed it closed.

"This is useless! Why the heck did the hint tell us to come here if there was nothing here?"

"I don't know." Dan shrugged, walking over to me. "Maybe you have to read in between the lines more.

"How do you read in-between the lines of facts?" I asked.

"I don't know. I was just throwing it out there!" He said. "I'm gonna go to the room. It's really boring here."

"What ever. I still need to read more. I hate this book!"

Dan's POV

"I never thought I would see the day that Megyn Morris would hate a book."

She stuck her tongue out at me.

I walked out of the library, but before I even entered the room, I could hear them fighting.

I opened the door, "Well this is awkward."

"Agreed. Let's get out of here." Natalie said.

We walked down to the café.

I kept glancing at Natalie. She had this weird expression on her face as if she couldn't decide if she was happy or sad.

"What are you thinking about?" I asked her as we sat down at the table.

"I think it's time that I was truthful with you about something."

"Okay." I shrugged.

"I've been hiding it-"

"Well obviously! That's why I'm absolutely clueless about what you're going to say!"

Natalie's POV

Well some people never change.

"Yeah, but I'm slightly embarrassed." That was fairly unusual since I'm a Kabra and Kabras never lose.

"I have something to say, too." Dan decided.

"But you don't even know what I'm going to say!"

"Yeah, and you don't even know what I'm going to say either. Who knows, mine might end up being way more important than your."

I highly doubt that.

"Ok, I'll go first. It's about us….."

Cliffy! Plz review!
