Oakworm stared down at the questions, wondering how long it would be until Buckeye gave the signal for him to leave. Who had been the ruler of each tribe during the tree wars. Read the thrid question, with a sigh, he careful wrote down the answer, trying not to move his wrists much. Just as he had started to read the next question, he heard someone whisper his name. "Hey...Oak. " They said. Tilting his head every so slightly towards the dragon on his left, he whispered back.
"I suck at history so if you want an answer ask someone else." He glanced up to see if the teacher noticed; they hadn't. 'Perks of being in the back.' Oakworm thought, looking back down at the scroll.
"Nah, Not that. Flutter wanted to know if you knew where her glasses went." The dragon told him. 'Wait. Who sits there?' Oak thought with a frown. He glanced at the other silkwing, recognition flashed across his face. It was the rude silkwing who had run into him earlier.
"No? She had them yesterday." Oak hissed back, wondering how this dragon randomly appeared and knew his friend. The yellow silkwing nodded, turning back to his paper. Oak rolled his eyes and continued his test. Question four was decently easy, five was just mean, asking him What was the date when Queen Wasp ordered the Vruksh Ban? Like seriously, why was it important that Oak knew the exact date when trees were outlawed. Grumbling, Oaks heart lept with relief when he finally heard five short knocks at the door. While the teacher opened it, Oakworm slid out of his seat and shakily made his way towards the front of the room. "Swallowtail? I don't feel very good." Oak said shakily, making his voice sound strained. Swallowtail looked at him with a frown.
"Fine. Go up to the nurse." They replied, letting Oak pass by them. Slowly, the orange silkwing walked into the hallway, trying to squash his grin. Step one was complete.
Oakworm continued down the drab yellowed hall, walking towards the west exit. He shifted his bag, making the box stop digging into his spine with its sharp corners. Arriving at the meet up spot, he slowed to a stop, sitting down on the smoothed floor. He looked down at it, wondering what it would look like of if it was made with real wood.
"Hey!" A voice called cheerful out, nearly givng Oak a heart attack.
"Hey Centipead." Oak responded, looking over at his friend. Centipead scampered towards him with a grin.
"I can't believe they still haven't caught on." He said, plopping down next to Oak. "I mean, the same students get sick every month! All on the same day! Isn't that even a little bit sus` to them?"
"Nope. We're good little silkwings that have done nothing wrong." Oak told him back, batting his eyes innocently.
"Okay. That's enough jibber-jabber." A new voice said, strolling towards them.
"Bucky!" Centipead cheered, jumping to his feet and bounding towards the red silkwing. Buckeye sighed.
"Seriously though, we can't get caught." He told them, his earing bumping against his jaw as he talked. "Everyone else should be here shortly, so-"
"Hey Twins!" Centipead interrupted, bounding past Buckeye and towards Mint and Holly, the twins glaring daggers at him. Mint, the purple twin frowned at Centipead.
"Why are you-"
"So loud? We could get caught." Holly finished, her blue eyes boring into Centipead. Oak watched with interest. It was always a mystery of how they knew what each other was going to say. It was especially unnerving how they barely blinked, always staring straight at someone. 'Maybe they really are psychic' He thought, shivering slightly. He heard Buckeye sigh, and snapped out of his thoughts.
"Good to see you both, now we just need Sunlight and then we can go." Oak frowned. Who was Sunlight? Buckeye must have invited them, but he would introduced them before hand.
"Ahh~sorry I'm late everyone." Said a dragon walking down the hall. Oakworm looked up, shocked. It was him, again!
"Sunlight!" Centipead bounded over to the yellow silkwing, pouncing on him. Sunlight laughed and said:
"Good to see you too." The silkwing looked at Oak with a grin, and a shiver went down his spine.'Who was this dragon, and why did I not know who they are?'
/sorry this took so long, I was planning to add more but never did so I just decided to post it./
