Chapter Two
Nita stood up and immediately ran toward the classroom door, side--stepping around the desks, until Ms. Greene's voice rang through the class, "Miss Callahan, where do you think you are going?"
Nita then noticed that every one of her classmates was staring at her. She thought of saying that she needed to go the bathroom--wait, that's a lie--oh man, wizards can't lie! But she did not need an excuse, for there was a sudden CRASH! Girls screamed, and even some of the boys, too. Everyone looked at the floor between the students' desk and their teachers'. There was smoke rising from the floor and everyone could see a rock about the size of a softball imbedded into the tiled flooring and there was a hole in the ceiling. Oh no, thought Nita, not good, not good, not good! She then ran to the door, pushed it open and sprinted out, turned left and ran down the hallway. Up ahead, she saw Kit sprinting down that same hallway, frantically trying to find an empty corridor. Unfortunately, there was always at least one student down that way! Nita and Kit would sometimes exit the cafeterias' side door and 'beam-me-up-Scotty' next to the trash dumpsters. They did not need to go out there for the cafeteria would be good enough. Nita followed Kits' kicking sneakers and pushed the swinging doors to the cafeteria that Kit had pushed 20 seconds earlier.
Kit knew someone was chasing him, so he quickly invaded his pursuers mind to find that it was Nita. Kit, unlike Nita, did not have a meteorite crash through his classroom, but right when Darryl left, he quickly said, "Mr. Sanchez, I'm not feeling so well--may I go to the bathroom?" and without waiting for an answer he ran out of the room and took a right and sprinted to the cafeteria. This was actually the truth; Kit did not feel so well. He felt a bit sick at the thought of meteorites hitting earth at about 200 mph and some were the size of Pluto!
Kit pushed the swinging cafeteria doors out of the way and ran down the middle isle between the metal tables and skidded to a halt; his sneakers squeaked loudly and it echoed. He had heard something. A small, distant sound was coming from above. It was…something. Kit looked up, but only saw the white ceiling. He couldn't identify what the noise was, but he then heard Nita bang the doors open. He spun around and told her to be quiet.
Nita did not know why Kit was trying to be quiet and staring at the ceiling when he should be getting his manual out. But Nita knew that, whatever it was, it was important, for Kit had that look of determination that he would often get when he was trying to solve a particularly hard problem in Algebra.
Nita could not hear anything unusual, but Kit could tell it was getting louder. He wanted to know what it was, and if it was something else that the Lone One wanted to throw in to make the whole planetary disaster worse. Then it was loud enough to tell what it was. It was a voice. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Faster, faster, faster! It was something that was coming, and just like it wanted, it was coming fast. Kit turned around a bit; his eyes still glued to the ceiling, but they followed his body movement. Kit knew that it was coming toward Nita.
Then…CRASH! Something came bursting through the ceiling. Nita wasn't fast enough to put up a shield spell from her bracelet because she was still staring a Kit, but it did not matter because Kit already did. The thing hit the bubble-like shield with a bang and dented it. The thing then rolled off and hit the floor with a thunk. Kit leaned against the nearest table, drained from the use of wizardry; as usual.
Kit released the spell over a startled Nita and walked over to the big, smoking black thing that was now resting on the white floor. Kit heard the thing say: Whoa! That was awesome! Sometimes, Kit did not always like to hear inanimate objects talk, but, he couldn't help it.
Oh no, thought Kit, as his heart started to beat harder and louder. They're already coming…
The thing was a meteorite about the size of a soccer ball, and it left a gapping hole in the ceiling. The two students then heard a loud, high pitched BEEEEEEEEEEEEPing noise: the fire alarm. Apparently more rocks were falling all over the school. They heard running footsteps coming closer to the cafeteria; this was where the students were to 'take cover'. Students usually go outside when they hear the alarm, but it wouldn't be very wise to go outside when rocks fall from the sky. Duh.
"Thanks for the shield," said Nita to Kit, and they then ran to the side door and pushed it open. At least the dumpster was still unoccupied.
Your welcome, muttered the angry door handle. They didn't answer it. Nita had heard that remark because she often had heated discussions with door knobs, especially the one for her sisters' room. Then the door closed quickly and loudly for it was angry at them, too.
They found themselves next to the dirty dumpster with dirty, flaking blue paint. Nita noticed a tomcat staring at them from atop dumpster, but ignored it. They reached to their right and their forearms disappeared into empty space: their portable storage unit, you could say. They quickly sorted through all of their junk and pulled out their names in the Speech. They then drew Speech symbols in a circle into the dirty concrete floor and attached their glowing names into the destination that they had written. They quickly checked each others' names and stepped into the circle. They began to recite the well memorized statements would allow them to go to the moon. The last thing the cat saw and heard from the noisy humans was a BANG! and they disappeared.
