Okay, this chapter may be a little short, but I originally planned that this chapter and the other one to be one big chapter. Also this whole thin has been edited from its original writing. Not for content, but just to keep it from sounding completely lame! ROLLING…START! (I do not own any characters from this story except Zak and Guy's old man and old woman.)
Zak and I weren't even strolling for three minutes before he blurted out, "Say, why don't we go to your house?"
I was delighted. "Sure! But I have some questions to ask. Like when did Ms.Katre become a teacher? And why did that person in the hall the other day shout 'hang in there Guy!'?"
Zak was quiet for a moment, and then began talking.
"Rumor has it that a meteorite fell from the sky a few years ago and had an evil creature in it. A creature that had three heads, tentacles, and emitted an evil aura. It is said, that in order to be evil, the creature mustn't be conspicuous, so it cut off two of its own heads and all of its tentacles. It grew two legs and with its heads gone, it no longer emitted an aura, so it appeared in a school to practice…" Zak paused, and then shouted in a low voice, "EEEEVIIILLL!"
Zak started cackling madly. "Blahaahaahahabutaglah! Now the actual year was—"He began, but I interrupted "Okay, ok! Really, that's all I needed to know." Ms.Katre, an alien, HA! I thought. Then I asked, "So, what about the other answer?"
Zak froze. "T-to what other question?"
"The one about the kid saying 'Hang in th-"
"I don't know." Zak interrupted. "Well, we're here!" He continued. We had already made it to my house.
"Let's go inside and meet you're parents are they archers 'cause my parents are nomads nomads are archers on horse back did you know that huh huh huh?"
Zak was talking fast again. "Seriously, are you part squirrel?" this time, Zak laughed.
We went inside, only to find scowling faces on us from my parents.
"Guy!" Mom shrieked. "What do you have to say for yourself? Detention! On the first day at school!" Mom looked at Zak. "And…AND STANGERS! How could you?"
I was confused. How did mom figure out that I had detention?
"Mom, dad, this is Zak, and our teacher," I said, "Is an evil old hag!"
My parents gasped.
"How could you say that about your teacher?" Dad exclaimed. "She has taken you under her wing to teach you, when she could be in Bern castle having her feet massaged! But no, she took that away from herself to teach you!"
Ahh, the old guilt trip. Parents never change.
"WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF?" they shrieked simultaneously.
"Well…" I began, "I've learned a lot from this talk, and I've got one thing to say… Did you date Ms.Katre when you were younger, dad? Are you standing up for her?" At the thought, Zak and I burst out laughing. "Be-because that is NOT what h-happened!" I said, choking on laughter.
"Then what DID happen, Mr. Smart guy?" Mom asked after I had calmed down. Zak hadn't.
"Hahahaha! S-see, that's funny! Be-because … hi-his name is Guy, right? And you said… I'll be quiet now." Zak said after discovering that no one found that funny. Mom pulled me inside.
"You!" She said to me. "Got to the table!" She looked at Zak. "Mack, go home!"
"It's Zak! Z-A-"Mom slammed the door on him. When I was yanked to the table, Dad asked, "Now let's get our who's, what's and why's straight! WHO was that? WHAT was he doing here? WHAT did you do to get yourself detention, and WHY did you do it?"
"Okay, in order," I began, "that was Zak and he is my best friend, and I didn't do anything to get detention. This kid named…uhh…Joe; he destroyed a picture of Ms.Katre and her boyfriend. Joe was sent to the office and Ms.Katre punished the rest of us for being 'young and reckless'"
"Do you expect us to believe that pack of…" Mom began, but dad whispered something in her ear "…Truths? Because if you do, we do." She gave a confused shrug to dad, who offered a look that seemed to have said, I'll explain later.
"Thanks mom!" I said gratefully, "but I still have one question. How did you know I had gotten detention?"
"I'll answer that." Dad said. "Ms.Katre sent the Horsy Express!"
The Horsy Express, of course! I'll Have to ask Zak where he lives later and get his address.
That night, we all ate our dinner in silence. No one spoke or really made a sound except forks clanging. It seems to me that dad had explained to mom what he wanted to get across. What I don't understand is what that was.
Yep, not the Pony express, but the Horsy Express! … Please don't kill me! (Apologizes for lateness of updating.)
