Chapter 4- Waking Up
O no, not another day of school. Why do we have to go anyway? Especially so early in the morning.
Torture.
Well anyway, I'm getting on the bus and talking to my friend about how annoying these cheerleaders are at our bus stop. They NEVER shut up, do they? And when they start singing…I want to just SHOOT them.
~Later~
Its 1st period, and I'm in science. Mr. Lanz is absent today. Our substitute for the day was Mr. Brown. He looked familiar, but I had no clue why. As we were copying notes from the board, I caught Mr. Brown staring at me. He didn't blink for over 10 minutes. Then he came over to me, and was about to say something.
The bell rang.
I got my books and ran my ass off to get out of that room. I had some strange feeling like something bad was going to happen.
In the meantime, I ran into my reading class, which was next. I sat down waiting for Lenore and Stacy to come in. (This is the only class I shared with both of them.) As I was waiting, I looked around the classroom. Where was that shiny bald head?? Mr. Little wasn't here. That was almost good news, he was so mean to us anyway. Instead, I was greeted by our substitute, Mr. Smith. How rude of him to wear sunglasses inside.
Then Lenore and Stacy walked in. I was anticipating our usual talk-about- anything session during reading. Since we had a sub, It would be extra easy to talk away the period. As soon as we started to whisper to each other he wrote us detention slips. WTF? We talked for only 2 seconds!! He said if we opened our mouths 1 more time, he would send us all to the principal's office. Jeez, that seemed like such a scary place. But wait, I've never gone there. Then how would I know it was scary?! I could picture myself there, in a small…dark…room. Stacy and Lenore are there too! My silly mind…I need to stop day dreaming.
We wanted to protest against the punishment. And we did.
"That's not…"
"Please step outside of the room, now!"
We finally did, think it was best not to get into more trouble.
"You girls will never listen, will you? First at the camp, and now t..."
O MY GOD.
It was all coming back to me now. The checkered floors, the garbage goop, and THE MAN IN THE SUIT THAT WAS STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!!!!!
"But what are you LITTLE girls gonna do? Kick my ass?" Then he started singing the "Can't touch this" song. Teachers could be so messed up sometimes.
Then I kicked him in his side. Hard. As hard as I could. It was the best thing that I could do; I didn't know kung-fu or anything.
Then Lenore grabbed my arm. "Lauren and Stacy! RUN. RUN UR ASSES OFF!"
We went to the nearest doors that lead outside.
"Whose house is closest?"
"Mine" I said. "We have to cross some big streets, but it's better then staying here."
We started running for my house. Darting across streets nearly got us killed, but anything to get us away from school. We just hoped that we didn't run into any cops.
Something was in the back of my mind. I had to ask them about it.
"Did you guys have a dream last night that was about all of us?"
"Yeah. We were being chased BY THE SAME EXACT GUY!" Lenore said. Now we were getting somewhere.
"OOO yeah!" Same here!" Stacy said very ditzy. I had strange friends.
"Doesn't it seem a LITTLE strange that that guy looks EXACTLY like that guy in the Matrix?"
"O MY GOD! AGENT SMITH" Stacy said in disbelief.
"Hello again girls."
O shit.
O no, not another day of school. Why do we have to go anyway? Especially so early in the morning.
