THE GENETIC DUPLICATE Day 3 part 2
Aboard the Solar Flare, Kyra and Kim were waiting in the waiting area for five minutes before Dr. Randall stepped out of his office.
"Kim, come with me," said Dr. Randall.
Kim looked at Kyra and then back at Dr. Randall. She then asked, "What about Kyra?"
"I would like to conduct your test without Kyra's presence so she won't be a distraction to you," said Dr. Randall.
"She won't distract me," said Kim.
Kyra took hold of Kim's hand and said, "Kim, I'll just wait here, okay?"
"Okay," said Kim.
Kim stood up and followed Dr. Randall into a small room. A couch, a small table and three chairs sat in the room. Covers laid folded on the couch.
"Is this room your quarters?" asked Kim.
"No, but I do spend a lot of my time in here," said Dr. Randall.
"So this is your home away from home," said Kim.
"You may say that," said Dr. Randall. "So have a seat."
Kim sat at the table. She then asked, "Why are we in this room?"
"We needed a table for the type of test I'm going to give you," said Dr. Randall.
Dr. Randall picked up a box filled with a stack of cards, twenty small blocks of different shapes and a clipboard with a test form attached to it. He walked up to the table and placed the contents of the box on the table.
Kim picked up one of the blocks and asked, "Are we going to play a game?"
Dr. Randall sat down and said, "Not exactly." Kim put the block back down. "I'm going to show you a picture with certain blocks on it along with the arrangement of the blocks. You will have a few seconds to memorize the picture. Then without looking at the picture I want you to put the correct blocks in the same order as the picture."
"That sound simple enough," said Kim.
Dr. Randall picked up the clipboard, took a pen from his shirt pocket and said, "Then let us begin." He then gave Kim a picture with two shapes; a star and a circle.
Kim looked at the picture for only a second and lightly slapped it faced down on the table. She then said, "I'm not trying to be smart, but you have to be kidding me,"
"What do you mean?" asked Dr. Randall.
"A person with a poor memory could get this one," said Kim. "Start me off with something more difficult."
"We always start in this manner," said Dr. Randall.
"Don't you think by starting in this manner is a waste of time for both of us?" asked Kim.
"Why is this, a waste of time?" asked Dr. Randall.
"Chances are when you test a person's memory, you are looking to see how poor a person's memory is, but with me you are testing my memory to see how much better it is," said Kim.
"Okay, you want this test to start off on a more difficult level then that is what we will do," said Dr. Randall.
Dr. Randall flipped through and removed a small portion of the cards. He then handed Kim a picture with six shapes on it.
Kim looked at the picture for a second, placed it faced down on the table and said, "That's more like it, but it is still too easy." She then took the correct shapes and arranged them correctly on the table.
Dr. Randall picked up the picture that Kim was matching and looked at it. He then said, "That is correct."
Dr. Randall wrote down Kim's score and placed the six blocks with the others. He then handed her another card.
On the northern hemisphere of the planet a raptor was flying at a low altitude above a frozen lake.
"Do you have a clue as to what we are searching for?" asked the ECO.
"Just anything out of the ordinary," said the pilot.
Seconds later the raptor flew over a land mass covered in snow and ice.
The ECO picked up a faint power source on his sensors. The power source only appeared on the sensors for a short time.
"Wait," said the ECO. "Do a one-eighty and fly through that region again, but at a slower pace."
"Did you find something?" asked the pilot as the pilot was turning the raptor.
"Just for two seconds I was picking up a power source," said the ECO.
Seconds later the ECO picked up the reading again.
"There is something definitely being powered on the surface," said the ECO. "It's not very big though. In fact I'm a bit surprise that we even found it."
"This must be what we were sent here to find," said the pilot.
"How did they know to send us in this region?" asked the ECO.
"Your guess is as good as mind," said the pilot. "We better report our findings though."
A few minutes later the crew of the raptor was reporting their findings.
When Cmdr. Adama learned of the power source Apollo, Starbuck and a small crew were sent to the planet to investigate.
In sick bay on board the Solar Flare, Kim and Dr. Randall were leaving the room. Kyra walked up to them.
"So how did Kim do?" asked Kyra.
"You were correct," said Dr. Randall. "Kim's memory is definitely above average." Kim smiled. "I even gave her three forms of a memory test and she scored above average in each one."
"I was thinking that her memory was better than normal," said Kyra. "Well Kim and I need to be going so I will see you later."
"Bye, Kyra; bye Kim," said Dr. Randall.
Kim waived.
"Thanks, Doctor," said Kyra. She and Kim then left the sick bay.
"So how much time do we have until class starts?" asked Kim.
Kyra looked at her watch. She then said, "We have two and half hours." Kim had a curious look on her face. "What's wrong?"
"Is class starting later today than it did yesterday?" asked Kim.
"The class begins an hour later on the days when Casimir gives his sermon," said Kyra.
"So when is the sermon?" asked Kim.
"It begins in thirty minutes," said Kyra. "That gives us barely enough time to get something to eat and get to the chapel."
"Kyra, I'm not really hungry so can I go to the recreation center instead?" asked Kim.
"You can go to the recreation center after class, but right now we are going to get something to eat," said Kyra. "Beside, if you don't eat now your stomach will be making those loud growling noises like it did yesterday."
Kim said in a drawn out tone, "Fine, I'll eat."
Kyra placed her hand on Kim's shoulder.
On the planet's surface, while wearing winter clothing, Apollo, Starbuck and three others had followed the power source signal to a monument that was about ten feet tall. It had three sides that were about five feet wide. Each of the three sides displayed an unknown writing that mocked the other. Symbols were also displayed. The monument was made of stone and the wear of the monument suggested that it had endured centuries of harsh weather. The monument sat a short distance from a large mound.
"This can't be the source of the signal," said Starbuck.
Apollo looked at his scanner and said, "There is an energy reading coming from the monument, but you're right. The energy reading we are following is coming from the mound."
In an amused manner Starbuck asked, "I didn't think to pack a shovel, what about you?"
"Funny," said Apollo. "I will radio the Galactica and tell them that whatever is down here is buried."
As Apollo got on the radio Denton Loren, one of the three crewmembers, walked up to the monument and rubbed his hands over the symbol. When he placed his hand on a bird symbol it felt loose. He pushed on it and it slid inward an inch. When it reached the end it made a loud click. Everyone heard the click and as everyone turned to look a steady and continuous beam of light shot out and shined into Denton's eyes. Denton fell to the ground unconscious. Everyone ran to Denton's aid as the beam continued to shine on him.
Starbuck got to Denton first. She looked around in an uncertain manner and saw a flat rock. She quickly grabbed the rock and when she used it to block the beam Denton went into convulsions.
Apollo ran up and exclaimed, "Starbuck, quick move the rock."
When Starbuck removed the rock Denton's convulsions ended.
Apollo checked Denton's pulse.
"Apollo, we can't leave Denton tethered to this beam," said Starbuck.
"You saw what happened when you block that beam so right now we have no choice," said Apollo. "As long as we don't block that beam Denton's condition is stable."
"We can't just stand around and do nothing," said Starbuck.
"Until we can get a medical crew down here that is exactly what we are going to do," said Apollo. Apollo then got back on the radio and reported what happened.
In the chapel on board the Solar Flare Kyra and Kim were sitting in the center row halfway down the aisles. Kim listened to and watched the sermon with a fixed attention on what was being said.
Fifteen minutes later, on the planet's surface, the medical crew had not reached Apollo's location and the beam ended by itself. Denton then started to regain consciousness.
Denton sat up and looked around as if he wasn't aware of where he was at. Everyone walked up to Denton.
When Denton saw the others he spoke in a foreign language.
"Denton, you are talking gibberish," said Starbuck.
Denton closed his eyes.
"Denton, are you okay?" asked Apollo.
Denton opened his eyes again and asked in a slow manner, "Am I Denton Loren?"
"That is your name," said Apollo. "How do you feel?"
Denton began looking at his extremities.
Starbuck looked at Denton in a curious manner. She then asked, "Denton what is wrong?"
"I'm not an Eydolian?" asked Denton.
"What is an Eydolian?" asked Starbuck.
Denton looked at the monument and stood up. Everyone looked at Denton in a curious manner as he stepped up to the monument.
"Eydolians are not a what," said Denton. "They are the ones to put this monument here. What is left of them is also buried in a dome, and they are waiting to be reborn."
"What dome?" asked Apollo.
Denton pressed a combination of symbols. When he was done everyone felt a seismic disturbance. Rocks and clumps of dirt crumbled from the mound
On board the Galactica a bridge officer picked up the disturbance.
"Col. Tigh, we are picking up a small seismic activity in Apollo's general area," said the duty officer.
"Try to raise Apollo," said Col. Tigh.
"Yes Sir," said the duty officer.
On the surface of the planet the mound crumbled apart and when a dome structure was revealed the seismic disturbance came to an end.
Apollo received a signal from the Galactica. As Apollo reported what happened the medical crew walked up.
"Captain, get your team back on the Galactica," said Col. Tigh.
"Yes Sir," said Apollo. He put his radio up. "Okay everyone, we are ordered to returned to the Galactica. Denton, you are to go with the medics."
"Captain, we can't leave," said Denton. "The Eydolians needs our help."
"We have our orders," said Apollo. "Besides, before we go any further we need to know what happened to you. At this point you are relieved of duty and you are to report to sick bay for a mental and physical examination."
"Captain, that is not necessary," said Denton. "I know what happened."
"Regardless, you are relieved of duty until a doctor's evaluation can be performed," said Apollo.
"Yes sir," said Denton.
Thirty minutes later, in sick bay aboard the Galactica, Dr. Salik was performing a medical examination on Denton. Cmdr. Adama walked into the examination room and walked up to Denton.
"How do you feel," asked Cmdr. Adama.
"I'm fine, Sir, but there is a civilization that needs our help," said Denton.
"What civilization?" asked Cmdr. Adama.
"Sir, they called themselves the Eydolians," said Denton. "They are an avian civilization."
"How do you know this?" asked Cmdr. Adama.
"Sir, that monument was a learning device," said Denton. "It taught me everything I needed to know about them and how to save their civilization."
"Where are they right now?" asked Cmdr. Adama.
"Sir, what is left of them is in the dome," said Denton.
"What do you mean what is left of them?" asked Cmdr. Adama.
"Sir, the Eydolians were highly skilled in medicine, but they were lacking the ability to leave their planet," said Denton. "Two hundred years before the dome was constructed they knew that they were in danger of being destroy from an approaching comet. In efforts to save their civilization of being annihilated they filled the dome with DNA fragments of themselves and cloning equipment. They were hoping that a civilization with compassion would stumble across them and help them to live again."
"You said the monument was a learning device, what all did it teach you?" asked Cmdr. Adama.
"Sir, it taught me everything I need to know," said Denton.
"Mr. Loren, I want you to describe to me what all you learned," said Cmdr. Adama.
"Sir, you won't believe me if I told you," said Denton.
"Mr. Loren, I have witnessed a few things in the past three days that our society had deemed impossible three thousands years ago," said Cmdr. Adama. "Right now I am no longer sure as to what can or what cannot take place so tell me, what all did you learned."
"Sir, while I was attached to the monument, I lived an entire life from the age of five to the age of eighty-five as an Eydolians," said Denton. "In that life I was a scientist. I held degrees in three areas of medicine. I was even the lead doctor in cloning research. Sir, I know what to do to save the Eydolians and by me living a life as an Eydolian I feel a loyalty towards them."
"The Eydolians were counting on that bond you had formed with them," said Cmdr. Adama.
"Sir, I would like permission to return to the surface and start the cloning process," said Denton.
"Permission denied," said Cmdr. Adama.
"But Sir…" said Denton.
"Mr. Loren, until we evaluate and determine the risk, that dome will remain as is," said Cmdr. Adama.
"Sir, the Eydolians are a peaceful culture," said Denton.
"That life you lived as an Eydolian was a lie," said Cmdr. Adama. "There is no telling what other lies they led you to believe."
"Sir, you are not going to help the Eydolians at all?" asked Denton.
"I never said that," said Cmdr. Adama. "I will discuss this matter with Pres. Roslin. Until a decision can be made about the Eydolians, that dome is off limits."
"Yes Sir," said Denton.
"Dr. Salik, I want a thorough mental examination done on Mr. Loren before he is allowed to return to duty," said Cmdr. Adama.
"Yes, Commander," said Dr. Salik. Cmdr. Adama walked out. "Mr. Loren, if you know cloning as well as you claimed, I would like to recruit your help."
"I would be happy to help," said Denton.
On board the Solar Flare Casimir ended Mass. Kyra and Kim walked up to Casimir. Cleona was standing in hearing distance.
"Kim, what did you think of the services?" asked Casimir.
"I thought it was interesting," said Kim. Adonis walked up. "Does everyone in the twelve colonies believe in the same thing?"
"There maybe a slight variation between one colony to another, but for the most part yes," said Casimir. "Since you grew up on another planet separated from the colonies I'm willing to say that your religion will vary from ours."
"That is an understatement," said Kim.
"What do you mean?" asked Casimir.
"It doesn't vary, it is completely different," said Kim.
"In what way?" asked Adonis.
"First of all not everyone on Earth share the same religion," said Kim. "The majority of the people on Earth don't believe in multiple Gods either like in the Gods of Kobol. Most of us believe in only one God. He is the creator of the heavens and Earth, and he had created man in his image."
"So there is nothing in Earth religion that agrees with ours?" asked Casimir.
"Actually from what I heard, your religion reminds me a lot like our stories from Greek Mythology," said Kim.
"That's interesting," said Casimir. "Perhaps sometime you can tell me about Greek Mythology."
"I'm not a big mythology fan so I don't know it very well," said Kim.
"Can you tell me what you do know?" asked Casimir.
"I can tell you what I think I know, but it may not be right," said Kim.
Casimir, Kyra and Adonis were slightly amused. Casimir then said, "That is perfectly fine. So was there anything else that is different from your belief?"
"You mentioned that a witch was a demon that can disguise itself as a person," said Kim.
"That is correct," said Casimir. "The people on Earth don't think that witches are demons?"
"You might say that we see them the reverse way," said Kim.
"What do you mean?" asked Kyra.
"On Earth witches are people with magical or demon like powers," said Kim. Kim looked at Kyra. "Actually on Earth I could be accused of being a witch."
"Why would you be accused of being a witch?" asked Adonis.
"Because of her visions," said Kyra.
Kim grinned.
"What visions?" asked Adonis.
"I can see future or past events," said Kim.
"Are you serious?" asked Adonis.
Kim nodded.
"Kim, what are witches considered on Earth?" asked Casimir.
"What do you mean?" asked Kim.
"Do the people on Earth think of witches as being evil?" asked Casimir.
"They use to," said Kim. "Three hundred years ago in Salem innocent people were tried, convicted and executed for being a witch."
"They don't do that anymore?" asked Casimir.
Kim shook her head and said, "Most people still associate witches with evil, but now witches are considered as superstition. Of course there are a few people that believe in witches. Fiction writers would even use the subject of witches when they write their horror stories. Oh and not all witches are thought to be evil. Some stories were written where at least one of the witches was the hero of the story."
"That is interesting," said Casimir. "Anyway, moving on to a different topic; Kyra have you had a chance to talk to Kim about that one thing we discussed?"
Kim looked at Casimir in a curious manner and asked, "Talk to me about what?"
Kyra place her hand on Kim's shoulder and said, "About you playing the musical keyboard."
"Oh that," said Kim. "I said yes."
"Good," said Casimir. "Kim, I would like to teach you the songs so would you be willing to come here after your class ends?"
Kim looked at Kyra and asked, "Can I?"
"Casimir, you better make it thirty minutes after the class ends," said Kyra. "Kim and I will be going to the mess hall after class."
"That will be good," said Casimir.
Kyra looked at her watch and said, "Kim, it's time for us to get to the classroom."
"Kim, I will walk with you," said Adonis.
Kim grinned and said, "Okay."
Kim's smile faded when Kim turned and saw Cleona staring at her in an unpleasant manner. Kim looked away as she, Kyra and Adonis walked towards the exit.
Two hours later Kyra was giving the class their break. Kim noticed Kyra staring at her as she was getting up. Kim walked up to Kyra.
"Is there anything wrong?" asked Kim.
"Nothing is wrong," said Kyra. "Why did you ask that?"
"I saw you looking at me all weird," said Kim.
"I was just watching you to make sure you got up and took your break," said Kyra.
"Oh, my history assignment is done and I'm not in too much in a hurry to get my arithmetic done," said Kim. "Besides I have to use the bathroom."
"Kim, I had you reading two chapters in history along with two assignment papers," said Kyra.
"I know; I finished the second history assignment after the arithmetic lesson," said Kim. "I did it that way so I wouldn't have too many subjects to do after class. That was okay to do it that way, wasn't it?'
"As long as you pay attention to the assign lesson first, I'm not too concern in what order you do your assignments in," said Kyra.
"Thanks," said Kim. Kim turned and walked away.
Kim walked out the classroom followed by Kyra.
Kim walked past Cleona, Davida and Tiara while walking to the restroom.
"There goes the witch now," Cleona said loud enough for Kim to hear.
Davida and Tiara laughed. Kim stopped and turned towards them. Davida and Tiara stopped laughing when Kim stepped up to Cleona.
"Cleona, you don't want to be my friend and I'm fine with that, but you do not want me as an enemy," said Kim. Kim looked at Davida and then to Tiara. "Neither one of you do."
Kyra saw an unpleasant expression on Cleona's face and timid expressions on Davida's and Tiara's faces. As Kyra walked up to them she was able to read Cleona's lips.
"You don't frighten me, witch," said Cleona.
Tiara watched Kyra as she was walking up. Kyra was close enough to hear Kim's response.
"On Earth witches are thought to be able to turn people into the toads that they are so I guess you are lucky that I'm not a witch," said Kim.
"Ms. Lockwood," Tiara blurted out.
Kim turned and faced Kyra.
"Tiara, I want you and Davida to go somewhere else right now," said Kyra. "I want to have a talk with Kim and Cleona."
"Yes, Ma'am," Tiara and Davida said. The two walked away.
"Ms. Lockwood, Kim had called me a toad," said Cleona.
"That is nice to what I could have called you," said Kim.
"Kimberly, you are to be quiet at the moment," exclaimed Kyra.
"Yes, Ma'am," said Kim.
"Cleona, I heard what Kim had said to you and I also know what you said to her right before," said Kyra. "You are not a victim in this." Kyra saw Kim grinning. "Kimberly, I wouldn't be smiling at the moment. I'm not too please with you either at this point." Kim's grin faded. "Now I don't know how the name calling got started, but it stops as of now."
"Yes, Ma'am," Kim and Cleona said.
"Since it is obviously that you two can't get along with each other, you two are to stay clear of each other," said Kyra.
"I would like to get along with her, but she doesn't with me," said Kim.
"How is going around kissing Adonis trying to get along with me?" asked Cleona.
"He kissed me," said Kim. "How do you know about that anyway?"
"It is common knowledge," said Cleona.
"What do you mean it is common knowledge?" asked Kim.
"Everyone in the classroom knows along with several other people," said Cleona.
Kim turned her head and looked in Adonis' direction. She then said in an unpleasant tone "They sure didn't hear about it from me. Excuse me."
As Kim started to walk away Kyra grabbed Kim's arm and stopped her. Kyra then asked, "Where do you think you are going?"
Kim gestured towards Adonis and said, "I'm going to find out why Adonis is telling people about the kiss."
"Not while you are upset," said Kyra.
Kim said in a mocking manner, "Upset. I'm upset with Cleona for how she is treating me, but with Adonis I am thoroughly pissed off."
"Hey, now I don't want to hear that phrase from you," exclaimed Kyra.
"Well I am," said Kim.
"Kim, I understand that you are angry, but that is no excuse for you to talk in that manner."
"That kiss was personal and Adonis shouldn't have said anything to anyone about it," said Kim.
"I'm not disputing that, but until you calm down you are not to talk with Adonis about it," said Kyra.
Kim said in a huffy manner, "Fine. I'm going to the bathroom." Kim walked away.
Cleona gestured towards Kim and asked, "Are we through here?"
"I have some advice for you and then you can go," said Kyra.
"Advice about what?" asked Cleona.
"You are turning into a lovely young lady," said Kyra. "You are going to have a lot of young men wanting to be with you and when one that you like doesn't then that is the guy's loss."
"Adonis is not just a guy I like," said Cleona. "We became friends the night we escaped the Cylons. He also the only guy I ever had feelings for. It's not fair that Kim shows up like she did and is able to be with Adonis in the way that I want to be."
"You are absolutely right; it isn't fair," said Kyra. "No one is to blame though. It is just something that happens. Now you can stay upset over this and possibly lose Adonis as a friend or you can prove how much of a friend you can be and except Kim."
"Do you really think I will lose Adonis as a friend?" asked Cleona.
"I'm not saying that it will happen, but it's possible," said Kyra. "Now I'm going to leave and let you think over what we talked about."
Kyra walked away and walked up to Adonis, Faxon, Nathan and Wiley. Wiley is a sixteen-year-old student and a good friend to Nathan. Adonis saw Kyra as she walked up.
"Ms. Lockwood, I saw you, Kim and Cleona talking," said Adonis. "Is Cleona still acting rude towards Kim?"
"I suspect things will be getting better between those two," said Kyra. "Adonis, come with me in the classroom. I want to talk to you for a minute."
Adonis looked at his friends and said timidly, "Of course, Ms. Lockwood." Seconds later they walked into the classroom. "Ms. Lockwood, is there anything wrong?"
"For fair warning, Kim is upset with you," said Kyra.
"What did I do to get her upset?" asked Adonis.
"When you walked Kim home yesterday you kissed her bye," said Kyra. "That event was something very personal to Kim."
"Okay," said Adonis. "Ms. Lockwood, I still don't understand why Kim is upset."
"How many friends did you tell about that kiss?" asked Kyra.
"I told Faxon and Nathan," said Adonis.
"Who else?" asked Kyra.
"I just told those two," said Adonis. "Ms. Lockwood, what is going on?"
"Cleona knows about that kiss and according to her all of your classmates know as well," said Kyra. "Kim is now upset that everyone knows about it. Since Kim didn't tell anyone, she knows that you did."
"Kim must think that I'm an insensitive jerk that likes to brag," said Adonis. "That is not what happened though."
"Adonis, I believe you, but I'm not the one you will have to convince," said Kyra. Kyra looked at her watch. "Well you still have a few minutes before break is over."
"Maybe, I can catch Kim and explain things," said Adonis.
"Adonis, if Kim doesn't feel like talking to you, don't push it," said Kyra. "She will talk with you when she calms down."
"Yes, Ma'am," said Adonis. Adonis walked out of the classroom and looked around. When he didn't see Kim he walked up to Nathan, Wiley and Cleona. "Where is Faxon?"
"He had to use the turbo flush," said Wiley.
In the female facility Kim was squatting down next to the sink and rubbing her head. Tiara walked in and saw her.
"Kim, are you okay?" asked Tiara.
"I get these serious headaches from time to time and my head is seriously hurting right now," said Kim. She stood up. "I'm going to go and see if Kyra has my medicine."
"Kim, before you leave, I would like to apologize for my part of what happened earlier," said Tiara.
Kim slightly grinned and said, "I accepted your apology." Kim then turned and walked out.
Faxon was leaving the men's facility and saw Kim. He rushed up to her and tapped Kim on her shoulder. Kim got a vision and stopped walking.
"Kim, how are things with you," said Faxon. Kim didn't respond. "Kim! Kimberly!" Faxon lightly shook Kim. "Kimberly." Kim came out of her vision and looked at Faxon. "Kim, are you okay?"
"I'm fine," said Kim.
"Then what happened to you?" asked Faxon.
"Faxon, when I touch things or when someone touches me I see things," said Kim. "Actually I should say I sometimes see things."
"What do you mean you sometimes see things?" asked Faxon.
"I see either future events or past events," said Kim. "When you touched me right then I saw you and Adonis fighting."
"Adonis and I are best friends," said Faxon. "We had never fought nor will we fight."
"So far my visions haven't been wrong," said Kim. "Why would you and Adonis get into a fight?"
"We wouldn't," said Faxon. "As I said we are best friends."
"Faxon, my head hurts so I'm not going to worry about you and Adonis right now," said Kim. "I just want to see if Kyra has my medicine."
In a confused manner Faxon watched Kim as she walked away.
Seconds later Adonis saw Kim as she was walking towards the classroom. He walked up to her.
"Kim, I need to talk to you," said Adonis.
"I want to talk with you too, but right now I want to talk to Kyra," said Kim.
Kim walked in the classroom followed by Adonis. Kyra watched as they entered.
"Kim you are mad at me for something I did by accident and I want to apology for it," said Adonis.
Kim stopped walking and looked at Adonis. She then asked, "Telling the entire class that we kissed was an accident?"
Kyra walked towards them.
"I didn't tell the entire class," said Adonis.
Kim crossed her arms and asked, "So who did you forget to tell?"
"I only told Faxon and Nathan," said Adonis. "I thought they would have kept it to themselves."
"Well you shouldn't have told them," said Kim.
"Faxon, Nathan and I are good friends and we have a tendency to confide with each other," said Adonis. "I'm sorry. I didn't think that the news of our kiss would get out."
"If you and Faxon are good friends then why will you and he be fighting later?" asked Kim.
"What do you mean?" asked Adonis.
Kim looked at Kyra and said, "I had a vision earlier." Kim looked at Adonis again. "In my vision you and Faxon were fighting."
"Kim, when did you have that vision?" asked Kyra.
"When I left the bathroom Faxon came up behind me and tapped me on my shoulder," said Kim. "When he touched me I had the vision."
"Kim, what all did you see?" asked Kyra.
"All I saw was them fighting," said Kim. "I didn't see anything else."
"Faxon and I have been good friends for the past five years so I don't understand why Faxon and I will be fighting," said Adonis.
"Adonis, perhaps it will be best for you to stay away from Faxon today," said Kyra. Other students began to walk in. Kyra looked at her watch. "Kim; Adonis, it's time to take your seats."
"Kyra, I have a serious headache and I was hoping you have my medicine," said Kim.
"It's in my briefcase," said Kyra. "You have my permission to get it."
"Can I go and get a drink of water as I take my medicine," said Kim.
"Just hurry," said Kyra.
Kim grinned and said, "Thanks."
Kim walked to Kyra's desk.
Adonis took his seat and glanced at Faxon.
Kim walked out of the classroom. She was gone for three minutes and as she was opening the classroom door to walk in she paused in the doorway. All of Kim's classmates were looking at her as she was looking into the corridor.
"Kimberly," Kyra called out. Kim faced Kyra. "You are disrupting the class."
Kim looked at her classmates. She then said, "I'm sorry. I was wondering what the cheers are about."
Kyra and Kim's classmates heard the cheers a second later. Kyra then said, "Kim, hearing cheers like that is common so take your seat and don't worry about it."
"Yes Ma'am," said Kim.
Kim took her seat and started to study her lesson.
