Thanks for everyone who reviewed, now here's chapter two: Wahoo!!!
Ch. 2: Disappearing Act
Frodo held the ring in his hand, noticing its cool and metallic texture. He walked across the hall and tried to open the door silently. He slipped back in the classroom and slinked to his seat, making no noise. So, of course, everyone noticed and turned his head toward head toward him, including Nilda, unfortunately. "Why did you come back in my classroom?' screeched Nilda. "I thought I told you to stay outside for the rest of the period."
"I just thought I was ready to listen and learn now," said Frodo, lying through his teeth. But of course lying never and still to this day has never fooled Nilda. She caught on quickly and tried to play along.
"Well then Mr. Baggins, I suppose you know thing what I was last talking about?"
That's not fair," pleaded Frodo, "I wasn't even in your classroom at the time."
"Liar," she muttered, "you were walking inside, purposefully disobeying my orders. And you also lied about being ready to learn, Mr. Baggins, I'm sure all you want to learn about is how to pick up a girl in this class." At this Frodo's face flushed, there were some pretty girls in the class, and that was one of the reasons he decided to come back in.
"Does she read minds?" he thought. Sam, the school geek, who sat in front of him, snickered. Frodo glared at him, but didn't say anything, fearing Nilda would get on him even more.
"As I was saying Mr. Baggins, you will receive a month's worth of detentions starting today for your insolent behavior. That's two hours after every school day." Frodo opened his mouth to plead his case, but closed it, he didn't want to end up like that pale faced boy, and even two weeks' detention could scar a kid quickly. Frodo put his head down, he was defeated, and there was nothing he could do.
"As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted," she glared at Frodo, "If x + y is equal to 43 and p is equal to blah blah blah," Frodo had already tuned out, she always starts to say that when he tunes out, he didn't understand why.
Suddenly she was on him again, she obviously knew that he had tuned. He looked up, surprised. She was swooping madly at him, like a hawk trying to catch his prey. She yelled in his ear. She gripped his desk with both hands until her knuckles turned white. Poor Frodo, all he could do was sit in the feeble position and whimper. He was serious contemplating using the ring now. With a quick flick, he whipped it out and slipped it on his finger, oblivious to what it was going to do. In a blink of an eye Frodo disappeared and the only thing that was left was his empty seat.
To Frodo, it seemed like nothing happened, but when a shocked expression came over Nilda's face, he something was wrong. He looked down to find, well, nothing. He gasped in surprise and almost fainted.'
The effect in the room was almost the same. A boy has just disappeared, how could have that happened? Some of the pretty girls in the room started to cry, it seems that our Frodo was well liked.
Nilda stood with shock for a few seconds, then her brain came into focus, this has happened before. She remembered a small boy disappearing the exactly same way. He always turned up the next day and she knew it would be the same for Frodo. Then a strange thing happened, her eye started to jump around everywhere, she didn't know what was going on. For one fleeting moment, she thought she saw Frodo sitting in his seat, but immediately thought she was just seeing things.
Her eyes rolled back to normal and started her boring drawl once again, despite her students shocked expressions, they didn't know what had happened, and she did. As the period wore on, the students still didn't know what had happened to Frodo, he still had not shown up. They didn't know whether he had died or simply disappeared.
As for Frodo he skulked to the back of the room to watch the rest of them suffer. He was enjoying his freedom greatly. He knew there would be questions tomorrow, but he could deal with them. This ring was the greatest thing that had ever happened to him, he could use it everyday, and he even felt an urge to use it again. That was odd. But he just thought it was a curious urge to use the ring again, he didn't know what it would do to him.
The worst of this sorry predicament is still to come. The geek, Sam, had looked behind him at the exact moment Frodo disappeared. He saw the whole entire thing.
