"Nope nothing in this book" I cried, throwing yet another library book onto the floor. So much for the librarian paying attention to her job. It was hopeless. For one week straight Lucas and I had been trying to track down any information we could find on Dr. LaFluer for our history assignment, but we couldn't find anything. Nothing. It's like this guy, the famous founder of Sky High, had just disappeared to nowhere.
"Well, I can't find anything in here either" yawned Lucas, closing the current book he had and leaned back into his chair.
"Let's call it a day hey Em Em, you don't mind me calling you that do you?" he grinned sarcastically.
"Actually I do mind you good-for-nothing person! You can't call it a day, because WE HAVEN'T FOUND ANYTHING FOR OUR ASSIGNMENT YET, WHICH IS DUE IN 3 WEEKS!" It was like a volcano had erupted inside of me, waiting to pour out into the surface. What a relief it was!
"Shhh… quite please! Miss Lefebvre, this is a library not a cricket pitch!" bellowed Ms Glasson, our librarian from behind her desk. First time se took any notice of her job.
"Man, you've got issues," cried Lucas. I swear, one day that boy will end up with me teleporting him to Africa to be eaten by the lions. Hopefully they find him tasteful.
"Well, you are making no effort into this assignment! Parvati and Kim have nearly finished their's off, and what do we have? A piece of blank paper with absolute dismal on it!" I got out of my chair and continued walking around the library bookshelves. Lucas shrugged his shoulders and went over to join Kim and Parvati. As I reached the end of the current bookshelf, I heard Kim question Parvati yet again if she knew any hot girls at our school.
"So you don't have any hot girls in your group?" Kim asked. I had the feeling that he was beginning to pester Parvati.
"How am I suppose to tell you if I have any hot girls in my group? I'm a girl myself, remember?" she replied.
"Emily's hot!" exclaimed Lucas. I suddenly felt myself blushing. I don't know why but I felt so complimented at this remark. No, damn…not Lucas! Blah…yuck! Okay, think happy thoughts, happy thoughts…
"Dude, you haven't got a chance! You've seen the way the girl loathes you! Anyway Pavi…" began Kim
"Parvati" she corrected
"…who was that girl wearing that Green Day shirt? Short black hair, pretty green eyes…"
"Holly?" replied Parvati
"Holly is it? Well, since I'm your mate and all Pavi, do you think you could introduce me to her?" he asked innocently. Lucas rolled his eyes, got up and began inspecting the closest bookshelf to him. I noticed her was looking at the same shelf as me. Damn! He would know that I had heard everything he said about me! I closed my eyes and teleported to another bookshelf near Parvati and Kim. I heard them continue their conversation.
"If you were a real gentleman Kim, you would introduce yourself to her, maybe show her your power?" Parvati stopped.
"Erm, what is your power?" she asked. I leaned closer to their table, being careful not to be caught in their sight. I never found out what Kim's power was. All I knew was that Lucas could control the weather conditions outside of school grounds.
"Well, I can…glide" blushed Kim. " I can glide on an invisible skateboard, nothing else". I burst into silent fits of giggles. That had to be the funniest power I had ever heard of. I straightened up and began to focus back onto the important things, like the assignment. As I was looking around Lucas popped up in front of me.
"What?" I asked savagely. I admit it was a little harsh the way a said it.
" How much do you bet that I can find a book on Dr. LaFluer? Maybe a…date perhaps?" he asked grimly. I knew where this was going. He thought he could challenge me to get me motivated, hoping for me to say no! Ooh I'm going to prove him wrong, because I had already nearly searched the entire library for any leads.
"Sure, but I guarantee it will take you a million years, even longer perhaps, to find a book on that man" I replied challengingly.
"Well I guess it's a date then!" cried Lucas merrily, pulling out a book titled 'The history of Sky High' by Dr. MTB LaFleurbehind his back. That's not fair! He can't do that…can he? Crap! What did I just agree to?
I sat on the couch at home feeling dull and gloomy. I have a date with Lucas this Friday at the movies, as we had agreed to. I guess you could say that when we made the arrangements I was forced to calm myself into erupting into another one of my volcano fits. That's what I have decided to call them now. My volcano fits! Has a nice ring to it!
"Did I hear correctly that my Emily has a date this Friday?" asked mum, joining me on the couch. Ooh I'm going to kill Layla! She just loves rubbing this sort of stuff into me!
"Yes" I mumbled.
"Emily's got a date, Emily's got a date!" cried Layla, dancing around the living room. I chucked a pillow at her head, which accidentally rebounded towards my dad's head.
"Be quiet!" yelled dad, "something's just happened in your world dear" he said, indicating the T.V to mum. Dad turned up the T.V as we all leaned closer to carefully listen to the SuperStardom Channel Report.
"Breaking News! Just 5 minutes ago a massive breakout happened at the International Jail for Super-Criminally Minded. The maximum area of the jail, which contained the following prisoners:
XYZK1- A.K.A Royal Pain
XYZK2- A.K.A Evil Jester
XYZK3- A.K.A Speed
XYZK4- A.K.A Lash
XYZK5- A.K.A Twin girl
The news began showing pictures of the prisoners that had escaped. Layla shrieked, as did I when the first prisoner, Royal Pain, came into view. Later followed was her gang of evil villains, the ones that had tried to destroy Sky High a few years ago. The report continued…
" no comment has been given by the police yet, who have yet to follow up on any lead about this escape. If you have seen any sightings of the prisoners shown, please call the toll-free emergency hotline below, we promise to keep you updated, and now, a commercial break."
Then it went to a food commercial. Typical. My family and I sat in front of the T.V screen in silence. Well, so far this has been a bit of an interesting day. Just a little bit interesting.
So what did you think? Please review guys, I love hearing from you! To make up for my laziness and excuses, I will update within this week, a new chapter! That is if I get time off work...I LOVE NEVILLE!
