1 Chapter 11
Going to school the next day was like walking into a prison, even for Ami. Serena dazed off in a daydream until Ms. Haruna woke her up (in a sense). "Serena!" she said, Serena looked confused. "The first day you don't fall asleep in class you start to daydream! What's wrong with you?" Ms. Haruna looked concerned and angry. "Nothing Ms. Haruna," said Serena softly, "I am just tired, that's all." "That's new," said Haruna loudly, then she went back to teaching. Serena sighed loudly. Molly leaned over to her, "Are you sure you're all right Serena?" she asked. "Yes," Serena sighed again; "I'm fine." "Hey I know!" said Molly, "let's go to the Ice Cream Parlor and the Arcade after school!" "No, that's ok," said Serena, "I'd rather study." Everyone stared at her horror struck. "Is she sick?" one boy asked, "should we call an ambulance?" another kid asked. Ms. Haruna had fainted in surprise and lay sprawled on the floor; she had fainted from shock.
Ami had a math test first period. She finished the test quickly, like always. The teacher came around and picked it up. "Now, here is that wonderful piece- of- worrrrr," he started, then looked down from the paper at Ami. "Ami, you failed (several people around her ground and started erasing stuff from their papers)," he said. "Oh," said Ami not seeming to care. "Ami, are you sick or something?" he asked her. "Yeah, I'm not feeling very well can I go to the clinic?" she asked, then she walked out of the classroom, everyone stared at the door looking extremely surprised. "Now that has never happened before," said someone in the class.
In the teachers meeting after school, the strange behavior of the students Ami, Serena, Mina, Lita, Kayrah, Lara, etc. was discussed. "It is quits odd that they all act weird on the same day, especially considering they are all good friends," said Ms. Haruna. "I heard one of their other friends has recently moved away, could that be it?" said another teacher. "Well, whatever it is I hope none of the other students get depressed, it would be bad karma," said the principal. "Perhaps, we should bring them in for counseling. Their souls could be bleeding and it is up to us to seal those wounds," said the counselor, in her usual mysterious manner. "They need a better attitude, not counseling, school is for learning, not being depressed," said a teacher who seamed really strict. "I think we should let this phase play itself out," said Ms. Haruna..
