Part III
Monday 23rd October
The bell rang, signaling the end of class as Lancer called out, "Don't forget, I want you all to have Chapter one read for class tomorrow." He held out the pile of papers, calling out, "And remember people, flu time is here and the school wants you to have the flu shot. Have your parents sign these and brought back by next week."
"I don't know why they're doing this now," Danny grumbled, packing his papers in his backpack before the three headed up to the front of class and grabbed their forms from Lancer. Danny looked at his as they headed towards their lockers and added, "I've never had to get the shot before. Never had the flu and kinda wanna keep it that way."
"You know how everyone's getting now-a-days," Sam pointed out as they stopped by Danny's locker. "Anyways, the flu does kill so better safe than sorry."
"In other words, you've already gotten the shot, huh?" Danny asked, eyeing the girl only to get a smile in return. He turned towards Tucker to see the African-American staring at his paper in horror. "Come on, Tuck, it's not that bad."
"Says you." Tucker crammed the paper into his bag. Danny closed his locker as Tucker added, "Come on, we gotta go costume shopping."
"Any idea what you're going as?" Sam asked, looking at Danny as they headed outside.
"You mean, other than Ghost Vampire?" Danny asked, thinking. "No clue. Figured I'd see something I liked when we got there."
"I'm thinking something black," Sam smiled.
"That's most anything good, isn't it?" Tucker pointed out.
