Chapter 4 (An Indoor Flood)
In math with Mrs. Quick Sabrina glanced at Kat, she looked kind of faint, she turned and looked at Ash; she was smirking like she thought something was funny. They were supposed to be working on math sheets, but Mrs. Quick wasn't yelling at them for talking. Sabrina noticed Kat quietly walk up to the front of the room, "I feel kind of faint." That was all Sabrina heard, Mrs. Quick let her go. But Sabrina was sure that she had seen Ash shoot Kat a look before she left. "Odd", was all Sabrina could think.
Sabrina worked on her math sheet; multiplying polynomials (fun, fun, fun!) But Kat didn't come back. She could hear Ash mumble, "This class is such a drip…" "Hey Sabrina!" Sabrina turned around to face Valerie, so she couldn't hear what Ash was mumbling about. Suddenly, before Sabrina even had a chance to open her mouth, the sprinkler system went off. "THE SKY IS FALLING!" somebody shrieked. "My clothes are getting wet!" complained Libby. "Class, stay calm, grab your belongs and head outside!" Mrs. Quick yelled lightly over the class. Everyone quickly ran out of the classroom, but the sprinklers were on in the hall too.
Finally the whole school had evacuated the building. Sabrina looked around; she saw Ash, but no Kat… She knew that she, herself, hadn't set off the sprinklers. So it was either some trouble making kid, setting them off, or the work off another witch. What was that Ash had said about class being a drip? Hmm… But Sabrina could randomly go around accusing people of being witches so she kept quiet. But where was Kat, had she set off the sprinklers? Cause she certainly wasn't outside… "She is new, maybe she didn't think to come outside…" Sabrina thought. Before Sabrina knew exactly what she was doing she found herself, moving toward the open doors to the school.
Nobody even noticed her going back into the school. "Now, where do people go when they feel faint?" Sabrina asked herself. She turned into the girls' bathroom. As soon as she hit the door she was hit with a wave of water, she coughed. Sabrina entered the room, pushing against the water that was fight to get out. The room was flooded, above Sabrina's knees. She desperately looked around; sure enough Kat was in the corner, face down in the water. Sabrina was totally soaked from the sprinklers, which still hadn't been turned off. Though it was hard to move in wet jeans she kept moving, Kat was drowning. "Sabrina you're a witch!" she reminded herself, "Help me out, so we can leave, lift her up so she can breathe!" She said it quietly in case Kat could hear her. Kat levitated out of the water; obviously she had fainted then when the sprinklers turned on… But Kat didn't snap out of her unconscious state. Sabrina levitated her over to her then picked her up. Sabrina gasped; Kat was really light! And the only reason Kat seemed as tall as Sabrina was that she was wearing really high heels.
Sabrina carried Kat out of the school, "Sorry about the bad first day", she whispered, even though Kat couldn't hear her. A silence fell over the school as they saw Sabrina set Kat on the ground. Mr. Kraft marched over, "WHAT DID YOU DO?" "I found her drowning in the girls bathroom", Sabrina explained. Mrs. Quick hurried over, to protect Sabrina form Mr. Kraft, "Kat said she felt faint, and she didn't look very well, so white… So I let her go, but I guess she must have passed out…" "So you knew she was gone but you didn't send anyone to check on her?" Mr. Kraft yelled. It was Sabrina's turn to save Mrs. Quick, "She sent me." "Oh…Ok. Good work Sabrina", she saw Mr. Kraft shudder. He was only letting her off because he liked Zelda. And that was FINE with Sabrina.
