Once in a Blue Moon

Chapter 2

Note from Roll: Okay, thanks to Webbuilder for pointing out my lack of descriptiveness. I'll try better this time... Oh yeah, and sorry for any of my crappy spelling mistakes...

Ms. Mari took the register. Lan payed no attention and began wondering about how on earth he was going to survive today. He didn't notice he was being asked if he was present.

That is, until Megaman hissed angrily at him, "Lan you doofus! Did you notice Ms. Mari's asking if you're here?"

"Here!" Lan quickly said, then went back to thinking.

He couldn't pay attention to anything at all until Ms. Mari asked him another question.

Since Lan wasn't even listening, he dazedly gasped out, "2000?" which (luckily for him) turned out to be the right answer. Ms. Mari frowned and sighed, but continued on talking about history anyway.

Lan was still daydreaming about something when the bell rang, bringing him crashing out of his thoughts (and his chair), and onto the floor like a sack of bricks.

Ms. Mari sighed again, looking more frustrated than he'd ever seen her.

"It's recess Lan. Go outside and hang around with your friends,"

Lan was so happy to be getting outside at last that he didn't even hear Ms. Mari add,

"For my sanity's sake."

As soon as he got outside, Lan realised just how bad everything was. Yai was standing over in a corner with a group of girls (they must have been friends he wasn't introduced to). Mayl caught his eye by accident, over in a corner on her own, but as soon as Lan noticed she made a rude gesture and went back to ignoring him.

He sighed. "Dex is probably off doing something else. Wish I hadn't acted like such an idiot this morning!" He plonked himself down in a corner and wondered just how horrible the rest of his day would be. Megaman whispered loudly to Lan, trying to catch his attention.

"Lan! Remember that letter you got this morning?"

Lan sighed again.

"I'll open that later, Megaman! Right now, I don't want to even think about it. Today's been bad enough already..."

Megaman gave up. There was no point trying to make Lan notice in a mood like this.

Then the bell for going back in rang. Lan walked quietly back into school, his sense of dread hanging in his mind like an iron weight.

Note from Roll: Was this better than the last chapter? Any mistakes? Anything I missed? Just R & R!
