The next day, Ms. Walum was sneezing and coughing in a frenzy as the students drifted in. Lana quickly rushed to her side and said, "Are you feeling well? I can call the nurse, if you would like." Ms. Walum waved her away and grumbled, "Leave me alone, foolish girl. I'm just fine. Take your seat." As her hands were waving, Clark noticed something very strange. The blue of the ring on her hand looked like it was shrinking. The green was glowing eerily. Also, Ms. Walum's skin had taken on a greenish cast.
After school, Clark, Chloe, Pete, and Lana discussed Ms. Walum's behavior. "Maybe she is just sick. Even mean teachers like her get sick." Pete said as her looked at the red "F" on his Physics test paper. Lana looked at her own "B" paper, sighed, and said, "I still feel really sorry for her. She has no one to come over and take care of her. They passed the new antique store Above and Beyond and Chloe and Lana looked at each other. Chloe pleaded, "I know it will probably ruin your reputation, but would you guys mind coming in here with us?" Pete and Clark exchanged manly glances and grudgingly agreed. Pete said, "Five minutes, you guys. We don't even want to be seen in there." "Well, there is that rocking chair I want to buy for Mom. I could at least check it out," Clark stated. The four friends headed in. The shop could only be described as weird. Everything this store had in supply had at least one spot where there was green on it. Baby dolls with green eyes were displayed on shelves, while jewelry with green stones shone behind the counters. The furniture was decidedly strange too. All of the couch's arms stuck out at weird angles, and there were green stones which decorated them. The rocking chair that Clark had liked rocked slowly back and forth in the center of the store, on display. It was a deep brown mahogany with green arms. The shop owner came up and introduced himself. "Hello, hello, I'm William Wallis, the owner of this store. What can I do for you fine folks?" Clark glanced sheepishly at the rocking chair and answered, "Well, I was wondering how much for that rocking chair. My mom would love it." "That chair? Well, since you are one of the first customers to ask about it, I will sell it to you for $50." Clark started to shake his head no. "Ok, ok, $25 but that is my final offer. And it's only because I like you kids." Lana walked up holding a beautiful bracelet with the unique glowing green stones. "Clark, I just have to buy this!" Lana pushed the bracelet at him. As soon as he touched it, though, his skin started reacting to it. His skin moved around until it looked like it would break open. Luckily, Lana did not notice. Clark gave the bracelet back to Lana. "You better hold on to it, Lana. What about you, Chloe? Pete? Did you guys find anything you liked?" Chloe replied, "This store freaks me out. Are we ready to go yet?" "Yah, I guess, unless Pete would like to stay longer," Clark retorted. Pete rolled his eyes. "No, I'm done with this place." Lana and Clark paid for their purchases. Clark told the shopkeeper, "I'll be back later with my Dad's truck to pick up the rocking chair." Chloe practically dragged the group out of the shop. Lana asked, "Chloe? What's wrong with you?" "I don't know, something about that store just gives me the creeps. I don't want to go back there again." Clark looked worried. "Ok, I can pick Mom's rocking chair up by myself. Well, I should be getting home. I will see you guys later." The group split and headed their separate ways.
