1 Our Little Secret

"Sora!" I jolted awake. My face was numb from where I was laying my head

on my books. My teacher's loud shouting was ringing through my ears. "Have you

been listening to a word I've said!?"

I tried to bring a little bit of humor into this lifeless, boring

classroom. "How your hemorrhoid got started?"

He stared at me as if I was lower than pond scum. "Lucky guess," he then

turned his attention to the rest of the class. "Don't forget to study for the

quad-chapter test tomorrow!" Moaning and groaning was heard from everybody.

Nobody liked the quad-chapter test. "NO COMPLAINING!"

I was able to leave the horrible fire pit that was science when I got

saved by the bell. Everyone scattered out the door into the hall. I was met up

with Kairi in the hall when she appeared from a door right next to me.

"Sora, do you know what today is?" She asked.

I thought for a moment. "Monday?"

"Nooooo..." She replied with an anxious tone.

"....the 24th?

"Not quite..."

"..... of January?"

"Never mind," She let out with a sigh. "I'll see you later.

I realized that I was so busy talking with her that I was almost late

for my next class. It was just my luck that my class was all the way on the

other side of the school. Swiftly, I tried to scurry to my next class. I wasn't

that far away from my class when I heard the bell ring. it was just around the

corner. It doesn't matter if you're a couple seconds late, right?

Of course, with my luck, that won't happen. Somebody was rounding the

corner while I was running and I smacked right into him. My books skidded

across the ground and papers flew everywhere. I took a long, hard look at who I

slammed into, and he did it right back, tenfold.

"Principal Terk, how are you this morning?"

He clenched his teeth harder than I've ever seen them before, which I

did not know was possible. His voice echoed loudly through the walls as he

yelled, "MEET ME IN MY OFFICE, NOW!" Teachers opened their doors and looked out

to see what was going on. "Continue with your lessons," he said in a slightly

larger than indoor voice.

I learned not to express any kind of pain I might feel as he clutches my

arm and drags me to his office. As soon as we enter his boring office, he plops

me into the chair right in front of his desk.

He still holds his anger that he had before. "This is the fifth time

this week I've either caught you running in the halls or putting ex-lax in the

coffee pot. Why do you keep breaking the rules? I do not get it. has there

been any type of crises in your family or your life recently?"

I looked back on my life in the past few weeks. "nope, nothing."

"if you don't pull your act together, I will be forced to notify your

home. Do you understand?"

I nodded in agreement. "Yes, ma'am."

"I'M GOING TO LET THAT SLIP!" I could tell he was serious. "One more

thing! Now please report to your class and get out of here so I can take my

Tylenol in peace!"

Quietly, I walked out the door and started walking to my next class. I

didn't really want to be there so I walked slowly. I took a while, which was a

good thing, for me. I creaked the door open and stepped into Mrs. Roger's

history class.

She was in the middle of a lesson when I opened the door slowly.

"And so, George Washington's crap the size of a bowling ball is

still preserved today at Smithsonian insti- Sora! Where have you been!?"

"Principal's office," I replied.

"Well then, take your seat!" I took my seat and Mrs. Rogers continued

the lesson. "Now, as you know, it has recently been discovered that George

Washington had lived with a brain tumor his entire life. There is a theory that

it possibly could have been that his mother was in labor with him for

forty-five years."

I chose not to listen to her so I secretly talked with my best friend,

Riku, who sat next to me.

"Did you talk to her?" I asked Riku as quietly as I could.

"Naw, I don't want to do it. You're the one who wants to ask her out. I

wouldn't want to meddle between you guys."

"BUT I WANT YOU TO MEDDLE!"

"SORA!" Mrs. Rogers yelled. "I don't want to have to talk to you again.

Now, to continue with the lesson. Scientists are still trying to figure how

Abraham Lincoln's goiter grew to the size of a hockey puck."

I didn't listen to this stupid lesson. Instead, I just daydreamed. I

dreamed about Kairi. I wanted the courage to ask her out, but I didn't have it.

Also, Riku wouldn't do it for me. It was a curse.
