Chapter 12:
Sam took everyone to the library, which was right across the hallway from Ms. Mac's classroom.
Sarah couldn't go straight to the library because she had Study Hall. But she came to the library everyday to spend the whole period hanging out with Sam. The library was big enough so Mrs. Bedle wouldn't find them chatting. And all Sarah had to do was go to study hall and ask Mrs. G. (Mrs. Gardner) for a pass to the library and make up and excuse to go, like she needed to do some research.
"See you in a few Sam!" Sarah yelled as she and Sam went their serperate ways.
"Hurry up!" Sam yelled back.
But Sarah was already down the hall and heading into the cafeteria, since that's where Mrs. G's C period study hall was that day.
Then Sam walked into the library followed by Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, and Koga. Hiten didn't follow because last time Sam brought him into the real world, he got a schedule that was the same except for C period. He got study hall with Sarah. So he followed Sarah to the cafeteria.
Then Sam saw Mrs. Bedle.
"Good morning Mrs. Bedle." Sam greeted the librarian.
"Hey Sam." Mrs. Bedle replied. She was an older woman with brown hair that was very short. She had few wrinkles on her face, but Sam still could never guess her age. And covering her eyes were a pair of glasses. And that's when Mrs. Bedle noticed everyone following Sam. "What are you here for?" Mrs Bedle asked them.
They didn't know what to say, Kagome looked at Sam for some kind of help.
"Well?" Mrs. Bedle asked, sounding more strict.
"Umm... Mrs. Bedle, these are some new students and they have the same exact schedule as me. I don't know why, but they also have you according the the schedule." Sam said, with a little laugh in her answer. Then she asked Inuyasha to give her his schedule to show Mrs. Bedle.
Inuyasha gave Sam the schedule and Sam showed it to Mrs. Bedle.
"They're my friends and transfered here from St. Marks. The school gave them the same schedule as me because they know me the office wanted me to show them around since they got the same schedule, including C period student aid in the library." Sam explained, making up almost everything, because she asked the office to give everyone the exact same schedule as her when they arrived. "And I could use the extra help. Especially since..." Sam took a peek at Mrs. Bedle's schedule book that had what classes teachers were bringing in during what periods. "... Umm... Mrs. Icenogle's Lit. class is coming in today. You know they'll check out books and need help finding things." Then she turned to Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango and Miroku. "And I could show them where everything is and I'll be able t-"
"OK." Mrs. Bedle said, giving up completely. "I get it. They can stay and help. But only because I've known you so long and you're the only student aide I have that can get everything done in one regular period."
"Thank you Mrs. Bedle." Sam thanked the librarian.
"But if they start using this as social period, then they won't be helping you anymore." Mrs. Bedle threatened. "I'll get their schedules changed and send them to Mrs. G's study hall for C period."
"I'll be sure they help." Sam promised. Then she turned to the gang. "OK. This is the library. I work here during C period. And now you guys have to work here and help me out too."
Everyone nodded.
"So what are we supposed to do?" Sango asked.
"Well, today there is going to be a class coming to do some research. So you'll need to know where certain books are since students will come to us to help them find what they need." Sam explained. "So let me show you where everything is first."
Then Sam started walking down the aisles of shelves. Then she stopped in the middle of an aisle before turning to face everyone. "OK. Let's cover the basics." Sam said while pointing to some books. "This is the nonfiction section of the library. Every book that is on shelves like these is nonfiction, which means it's not make believe." Then Sam picked up a book. "All books in the library have a call number. You find books by looking for this call number. Nonfiction books have numbers on the label here. Fiction books, which are stories that are make believe, have letters. And no numbers." Sam said before putting the book back.
"So how do we find certain books if someone asks us?" Miroku asked.
"The call numbers for the nonfiction books goes in order by number." Sam replied. "At the front of the section is where all the call numbers that begin with 0 are. And at the end is where all the call numbers that begin with 9 are." Sam explained. "So if someone asks you to help find a book, then ask them what the call number is and look for the book. Ask them what the title of the book is too. Some of the books have the same call number, but are different books. Understand?"
Everyone nodded.
Sam couldn't believe that they understood it that fast. But it didn't take her that long to figure it out either.
"So how do you find books?" Sam asked them.
Then Koga stepped up. "Ask what the call number and title are and look for the call number and make sure it is the same title as the one the person told you." Koga said.
"Right." Sam said. "And if you can't find the book, then just ask me to help you. OK?"
Everyone nodded.
"OK. So let's go back to the front of the library and wait for the class to come." Sam said as she led everyone back to the desk.
And they were just in time to see the class coming in. Sam recognized everyone in that was coming, but was looking for Hiten and Sarah. She knew they could help Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, and Koga find the books for people. And she would give Kagome the benefit of the doubt that she knew what to do, since Kagome was from the present.
"Hey Sam!" A boy said as he walked in. He was a senior, about a foot taller than Sam, or so he looked from Sam's point of veiw, and his hair was blondish brownish.
"Hey Eddie." Sam replied.
"Are you student aid?" Eddie asked.
"You've only been here... hmm... almost once a week and you didn't notice?!" Sam asked, being completely sarcastic.
"Sorry, but I was kinda busy concentrating on my school work." Eddie replied.
"Whatever." Sam said.
Then Eddie looked at Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and Hiten.
"Oh... my... god..." Was all Eddie said before sounding really giddy. "You're Inuyasha! And you're Kagome! And you're Sango! Miroku! And Koga!"
"Yeah, what of it?" Inuyasha asked.
Then Eddie stopped acting giddy and looked at them curiously. "What are you doing here? You're supposed to be cartoons." Eddie said, kinda making Inuyasha and Koga pissed. But then Eddie looked at Sam. "Sam... You didn't..."
"Yeah. I did." Sam replied.
"When?" Eddie asked.
"Last night." Sam replied.
"Sam..." Eddie said.
"WHAT?!" Sam almost yelled.
"I can't believe you brought cartoon characters into the real world." Eddie said.
"Well it's a good thing she did." Someone commmented.
Then everyone looked over to see Hiten and Sarah heading their way.
"And you are...?" Eddie asked.
"Oh! Eddie! You never met Sarah." Sam said. "Sarah, Eddie. Eddie, Sarah."
"So this is your gay friend?" Sarah asked.
Just then, almost everyone's (except Eddie's, Sam's, and Sarah's) jaw dropped.
"Yes." Sam sighed as she shook her head.
"You swore you wouldn't tell anyone!" Eddie almost yelled.
"She's my second best friend! We're practically sisters!" Sam exclaimed.
"We tell each other everything." Sarah added.
"Right." Sam said with a nod.
"And that would make your best friend be...?" Eddie asked, looking like he was hoping she would say it was him for some reason.
"Lia." Sam replied.
Eddie just dropped his head.
"Cold." Someone else commented, then everyone looked over to see a girl with hair that might as well have been black that was shoulder length. Her eyes were brown and she had braces. She was wearing a yellow sweater with a blue short sleeved shirt on under it and a pair of blue jeans that flared out at the bottum and a pair of high healed shoes that looked like sneaker, but weren't.
"Hey Lia!" Sam exclaimed.
"Hey!" Lia replied as they shared a high five and both turned their backs to each other and flicked their hair.
"What was that?" Inuyasha asked.
"Our special high five." Lia and Sam both said at once.
Everyone just went silent.
"What?" Lia asked. Then she realized she didn't know the people Sam were talking to other than Eddie and Sarah. "Who are they?" She asked hile pointing to Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Koga, and Hiten.
"Oh! Lia, this is Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Hiten, and Koga." Sam introduced everyone.
"Is that the same Inuyasha that you keep going on and on and on about?" Lia asked.
Sam nodded, looking kind of embarrassed.
"You talk about me all the time?" Inuyasha asked.
"Not all the time." Sam replied. "When I'm not going on about you, I'm going on about Koga or Hiten, and sometimes Miroku. You'd be surprised at how many girls wish they were in Kagome's shoes alone."
"Me?!" Kagome asked.
"Yes you." Sarah replied.
"Sam!" Mrs. Bedle yelled.
"What is it Mrs. Bedle?" Sam asked.
"These people need help finding books." Mrs. Bedle said.
"OK." Then she turned to everyone. "You guys remember what I told you right?"
Everyone nooded.
"Good." Sam said. "I'll be right back. Just stay here and if someone asks you where something is then help them find it." Then she looked at Sarah, Lia, and Hiten. "Do you think you guys could help them out if they need help?"
"As long as I get to use the computer and check out books." Lia replied.
"Fine. Then show them how to use the computer." Sam replied.
"We'll help them." Sarah said.
"Great! Thanks guys!" Sam replied. "Come on Eddie! You should be getting whatever Mrs. Icenogle brought you guys here to do done." Sam said before walking over to help Mrs. Bedle with directing people to where the books that people were asking for were.
Everyone just stood there.
"So...." Miroku said. "You're name is Lia?"
Lia nodded. "Yeah..."
"Would like to do the honor o-"
"Don't even think it monk." Sarah said.
Miroku coward away.
"Just 'cause Sam isn't here doesn't mean I won't tell her." Sarah threatened.
"What was he gonna ask?" Lia asked.
"Nothing." Miroku answered.
"What? I wanna know!" Lia whined.
"He was going to ask you to be the mother of his child." Sam answered Lia question.
"WHAT?!" Lia yelled.
"What? You wanted to know. I told you about all the characters. Remember last year when you used to make fun of the fact that he was perverted and that he's a monk and we would compare him to Paul Parsons?" Sam asked.
"So you're that guy." Lia said, sounding thoughtful.
"Yeah." Sam said.
"You guys made fun of me?" Miroku asked.
"Only the fact that you're a monk and that you're perverted and that monks aren't even supposed to be married." Sam replied.
"What?!" Miroku yelled. How would he survive in this world?! Monks couldn't even get married?!
"Oh! And they can't have sex either." Lis added.
This was killing Miroku.
"Yeah. Nowadays, monks are supposed to be dressed in these dirty looking brown robes and live in a church where there are NO girls." Sam said.
This was tortue for Miroku.
"OK! I'm NOT a monk anymore." Miroku said.
"Right. You're a freshman at Caravel Academy." Sam said.
"A what?" Koga asked.
"There are different levels of learning at schools in the present." Sam started.
"You're freshmen, we're freshmen. It just means that you're in your first year of high school." Lia added.
"Eddie's a senior. Which means he's in 12th grade, the last year of high school." Sam added.
"So what level is freshmen?" Sango asked.
"9th." Sarah said.
"So we have to go through three more years of this place?!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Yep." Lia said.
Then the bell rang.
"Time to go." Sarah said.
"Right. Let's go to next class." Sam said as she grabbed her book bag and led everyone to Math class.
