Chapter 5
Kat woke up to the sound of someone calling her name in the distance. She looked out across the field. She saw Mark walk up the field, it sounded like her was yelling "Kat". She didn't want a repeat of yesterday so she decided to get out of sight before h saw her. Too late. He spotted her and came running towards the tree. After he got up, (it took him 3 jumps to get to the top) he sat on a branch close to Kat. She looked away. "Kat listen, I'm sorry about yesterday. I mean I had time to think about it since yesterday and I know what I did wasn't right." She said nothing and kept looking away from him. "Ok yah I know I really don't deserve to be talked to, but I thought I would let you know that school started about 15 minutes ago, do you want to go to school or not?" Kat didn't say anything for a bit. She then got an idea to finding out what had happened to her. "Yah I'll go to school today"
"Ok then we better get going"
"K,' Kat said as she stepped over the edge of the branch and jumped off. Mark looked at her like she was nuts. He looked over the edge to see Kat safely on the ground looking up at him. He stood up and jumped down (using the branches) and came to the ground. They headed off to their house, not a word was spoken. Once they got to their house, Kat went downstairs to their room to get her backpack, then came back up. Mark waited for her. When she came up they walked out the door. Mark looked over to her and decided not to suggest racing to the school, she really didn't look in the mood to be racing anywhere.
The walk to school was also a very quiet one. When they got to school Kat headed straight for her 1st hour class. She opened the door and sat down, the teacher asked for a pass but she ignored him. She turned around to Matt and said, "So Matt, think you could tell me something?" He blushed and asked what. "Maybe telling me what my brother did to me, I would GREATLY appreciate it," she was flirting with him. She knew he liked her so she figured she could get something out of him. "You KNOW I would tell you anything you wanted to hun, but I can't tell you that"
"And why not? I'm just curious, that's all.."
"I'm sorry I can't, though we can go out on a date tonight if you want"
"Hell no, I'll pass." Matt looked at her weird, wasn't she just flirting with him a minute ago? No matter he would get her next time she asked. The end of 1st hour bell rang and she left the class in a hurry, she had another plan but it couldn't go into effect until tomorrow, she needed to prepare. She walked down the hallway and went to her locker and sat down. She looked up and saw her two friends that she had yelled at yesterday walk by. They seemed to speed up as they passed her locker, they were obviously still terrified from yesterday. She didn't blame them. Mark came up, looked at her for a second and when he realized she wasn't going to look up at him, sat down beside her. She looked away. "Hey Kat?"
"Yah?"
"Um, are you, uh... are you o."
"Am I ok? Yah I am, why wouldn't I be? It's not like he took a big needle and injected me with 20 poisons that are lethal in the states.."
"Yah I was just asking, you didn't need to get sarcas..."
"Yah I'm sorry.. Maybe you should just leave me alone for now"
"Yah well I wanted to see how my twin sister was holding up, I'll catch you later I guess.." He walked down the hall, stopped and looked back at her. She had her head buried in her knees, she looked like she was crying, or rather trying to. He turned and walked down the hall, as he was walking Eric passed him. Mark decided to not try to start anything (even if he wanted to just bull rush him and kill him). Eric did not seem so eager to stay out of Marks way and he bumped right into him (it was more like a shove). Mark almost lost it and charged him, but he held himself, "Damn ass isn't worth it," thought Mark. The day was a good day out of the ones he had had these past couple of days. The kids in 2nd seemed to lay off him and Kat, and the jerks in English seemed to keep their words to themselves. Too bad the day couldn't stay that way. It pained Mark to see Kat like this, she seemed almost to the depressed point and no matter how much Mark wanted to help, he knew he couldn't.
The morning came with a dull light through the window. Mark slightly opened his eyes, he could have sworn he heard something outside. He sat up and saw Kat pass by the door. He laid back down, closed one eye, and peeked with the other. He looked at his clock, 5:45. Holy crap, even he didn't get up this early and here SHE was getting ready for school. He laid back down and looked over to the door, she passed by the door again. Mark thought he was hallucinating, was her hair just brown or was it just him? No it wasn't just him, she had brown hair! "Maybe I'm half in a dream," thought Mark as he went back to sleep. He awoke to Kat gently shaking him. He waited for his vision to clear. It turns out he wasn't imagining her with brown hair, there she sat on the side of his bead with a head of brown hair and her dog ears nowhere to be seen.
