Daughter of Ipswich

Falling Down the Rabbit Hole

Closer

"It became apparent that the view of civil liberties, needing no special protection was not widely shared."

I looked over at Caleb, who was still glaring down at Chase, while Pogue was off starring at Kate, who refused to even look at him.

I sighed, and continued to take down my notes, knowing that both Caleb and Pogue would need a copy of my notes at the end of class.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door, making my teacher sound off," Come in!"

The girl walked up, from outside in the hallway, and handed our teacher a note, who simply said," Thank you."

Our teacher, then continued to lecture, before he opened the envelope," Twelve amendments were suggested, ten eventually ratified. Called the what, Ms. Parry?"

I sighed and answered," The Billy of Rights."

"Right you are." The teacher smiled back up at me, while I continued to scratch my notes into my notebook.

"Nice job," Pogue nudged me, quietly, allowing me to nod, while I went back to writing.

"Arguably, the first being the most important. Read it for us, Mr. Simms."

I looked over at Tyler, to see Reid awaking up from a nap, as Tyler flipped through pages in his textbook to read aloud.

"Mr. Collins," our teacher began," you're wanted in the Provost's office."

I turned to my left, and saw Chase standing up, and leaving the room, as Tyler finally found his page.

"Congress shall make no law, respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof-"

Caleb suddenly bumped his foot next to mine, getting my attention, making me look up at him.

I saw his eyes were dark, matter of fact they were black, while his eyes were casted down.

There isn't something right with Chase.

I couldn't help but feel slightly freaked out; when I noticed my hand was moving on its own, across my paper, under my notes. Obviously Caleb had taken control of my bodily functions.

His eyes were black, when we were swimming.

That is why I hit the wall.

I glanced back up at him, actually relieved that he had noticed his eyes were black too. "I'll talk too you later." I whispered quietly at him, before pausing to add," I saw it too."

Caleb nodded, while his eyes went back to normal, and he began copying the notes I had taken and continuing to take.

Yet, I noticed something that I hadn't before. Caleb was sitting closer to me than he usually did, so close in fact that our thighs were touching and our feet were almost touching as well.

Once again this Cheshire Cat made me happy, yet confused at the same time.
