The bell rang and everybody went inside. Casper directed Kat to the class room and she sat in a spare seat at the back of the class next to human Casper. Moment's later a really ugly man came in and introduced himself.
"Good morning Class, I'm Mr. Randall. I'm going to be filling in for Mr. Rigsby."
"Good morning Mr. Randall." Everybody said in unison, all exept Kat who just stared at the amazing difference ninety years can make. Luckily for her, the teacher was reading a bit of paper.
"Mr. Rigsby tells me that you are all in need of new writing books so," Mr. Randall looked at a young boy sat at the front. "You there..." The boy stood.
"Jacobs, sir."
"Yes, yes Mr. Jacobs, give out the books." Mr. Randall pointed towards the stack of brown books and the boy obayed. Oh thank god, I don't want to get into trouble for not having a book...what if he asks me to answer a question and I don't know the answer? Will I get the whip?
while everybody lifted up the top's of their desks to get their pen's and ink pot's ready there was loud, high pitched screams that started about the same time and scared Kat half to death, no offence to Casper. Kat looked round and saw all the girls screaming and jumping out of their seats. You could see about a dozen frogs leaping everywhere. Casper and two boy's near him started laughing. It was actually pretty funny...
"McFadden!" Shouted the teacher who was interrupted when writing the date down on the board. Human Casper stood up.
"Yes, sir?" Ooo...nice voice...
"Yes, McFadden, I have been warned about you, you like to play little tricks don't you?" I hate teachers who talk smart ass...
"Yeas, sir."
"Hmm...yes, you will be getting a detention with me tonight after school. Understand?"
"Yes, sir."
"Now everybody pick up these frogs!" The teacher shouted as about five started attacking him.
Hahahaha...
The teacher stood and watched as everybody, including Kat pick up the frogs and stored them in a tank one of the girls wen't to collect. Everybody then sat in their seats and carried on.
"Your new aren t you?" Asked human Casper quietly hiding his face using the desk lid. Kat nodded and got out her pen out and she could see human Casper looking at it strangely from the corner of her eye, he should, it's pink with a fluffy top. The boy, Jacobs, then came at that point, handing a blank book to both Kat and Casper.
"Do you not have an ink pot?" Human Casper whispered to Kat while writing his name on the book.
Kat looked at him and smiled sweetly which made him blush a little. Aww how sweet...Kat had to force away a blush.
"No." Kat whispered.
"Do you whant one of mine?" He asked showing Kat about five or six ink pot's.
"Oh, no it's ok..." Kat writ her name on her book and shown it to Casper. "See..."
"How did you-" Casper was cut off by the teacher who cleared his throght.
"Now class today we are-" Mr. Randall suddenly stopped when he sat down and he stared out directly front ways for about three seconds then stood. The whole class started laughing when they saw Mr. Randall not being able to stand properly because he was stuck to the chair.
"MCFADDEN!" He shouted. Woa...he is mad...his face is bright red and you can see a vein about to pop on his forehead...hahaha...
Casper stood again.
"Yes, sir?"
"Get this chair off of me!" His voice was soo loud you could probably hear it all the way to the next millenium. Casper walked to the front of the class, grabbed the chair and started to pull. The whole class was dying not too laugh. Kat could even hear Casper snickering at the side of her and human Casper was biting his bottom lip trying not to make a sound. The chair was finally pulled off, as well as a bit of Mr. Randall's dress robe thingy he wore.
what is he wearing anyway?
Mr. Randall straightend up, brushed himself off and looked at Casper who, to him, hung his head in shame, but to the class you could sill see a grin on his face. He looks so cute...
"Face the class." Casper faced the class and removed the grin and the teacher picked up a thin black stick. "Hold out your hands." Casper did so, Kat knew where this was going...
...whip...whip...whip ...whip...whip...whip...whip...The whipping was so loud that Kat jumped and every whip seemed more painful than the last. It was amazing how he kept his face straight.
"You have to keep your face straight and you have to stay still otherwise you will get more."
Whispered Casper and Kat frowned. There all mad...
"Sit." Commanded the teacher and Casper made his way to his seat. "If you do one more thing today, McFadden, I'm sending you to the principle." Casper sat down and clenched his fists, Kat could see a trickle of blood coming from them. Kat gulped...
"Where was the spider?" Asked Kat hiding at the side of the school building.
"I don't know, it was defiantly the same day..." Casper said scratching his head, not like he needs to.
"Did we...change time?" Kat asked slowly.
"We must have, but that can't be possible. Can it?" Casper became confused. "I was supposed to go to the principle that day, remember, he said if I do one more thing...the spider was supposed to be the one more thing..."
"What happened in the principle s office any-hey there you are!" Kat said pointing to the blonde leaving the school grounds.
"Hey, Casper!" Shouted Kat running up to him.
"How did you know my name?" He asked turning round.
"Umm...the teacher said it..."
"The teacher calls me by my last name." Kat you idiot!
"Umm...I heard it from some where..." Kat said and quickly changed subject. "How's your hands?" Casper held up his hands up to look at them.
"There fine, they'll heal in a few days."
"That s good."
"How come your pen worked without any ink and why is it pink?"
"Umm..." Kat pulled her pen out and unscrewed it and taken out the ink cartridge. "Here, the ink is stored in here and it was made to be pink."
"Wow, where did you get it? it must have cost a fortune." He said taking hold of it.
"Umm...my dad's an...inventor...he made it for me."
"Cool, my dad's an inventor to. What's your dad's name? maybe our dad's are formilier with each other."
"James Harvey."
"J.D McFadden." Kat smiled, she's getting on soo well with him. "Oh, what's your name?"
"Kat, Kat Harvey." Kat said holding her hand out to shake but then quickly withdrew it. "Oh, sorry." Casper smiled.
"It's ok. What are you doing here soo late after school, shouldn t you be at home?"
"Oh, umm...my dad was going to pick me up but he called to say he can't make it." KAT! Mobiles arn't invented till like, the eighties!
"He called you?"
"Umm...yea..." Kat needed help to get out of this one when she saw Casper floating just behind human Casper mouthing 'walk home with me.' Kat nodded and human Casper turned round to see what she was nodding to. "Would you like to walk home together?"
"Sure...Where did you move from?" Casper asked while walking.
"Umm..." What to say, what to say...was New York even around in 1904? I should pay more attention in history..."England." That s right England has been around for centuries.
"What about your accent?"
"My accent?"
"Why don't you sound English?" Dam...urm...AH!
"My mum was English and my dad is American, when my mum died my dad move back to America,
dragging me along."
"Oh, I'm sorry, my mum died to...How did she die?"
"She died in a...motor car accident..." They called them 'motor' cars right?
"So did mine...We have a lot in common don't we?"
"We do?"
"Yea, both our mum's died the same way and our dad's are inventors." Casper said smiling.
We do have a lot in common...his smile is soo cute...
"Yea, your right." Kat said smiling.
They were now getting close to Whipstaff. They walked past a few shops including the toy shop Kat walked past on her way to the school, It has a certine sled in the window.
"I've asked my dad for this sled, but he say's I can't have it...I really wasn t it though."
Casper said admiring it through the window. Kat couldn t help but look at him sadly.
"It's a nice sled." Kat said faking a smile but Casper caught on.
"What's wrong?" He asked, his smile fading. Kat peered down at the floor, she couldn t take it. It's like letting your best friend walk blind folded off a cliff. Kat threw her hands round him and hugged him tightly, supprising both Casper's. When she realized what she was doing she quickly let go.
"I-I'm sorry, I have to go." Kat said quickly. "Would you remember one thing for me?"
Casper nodded.
