Dislaimer: I don't own Disney W.i.t.c.h
Chapter Nine
Midnight
Tai stood at the entrance of the school gates. She crossed her arms over her chest for extra warmth on this freezing cold night. So far only Wanna, Carina and herself there so far. Izzy was normally late but Hannah? Well, she was bound to show up sooner or later. Tai's short brown bob blew in the wind.
"I hope they show up soon," Carina said, out of no where.
"We could go in," Tai said.
"No, not without the others," Wanna said, twirling the end of her braid.
"I didn't say we wouldn't I said we could," Tai said.
"GUYS!" Izzy cried, running up to the front gates. Her high ponytail flying everywhere as ran.
"What took you so long- I'm freezing," Tai asked pulling her beanie lower down over her head to keep her warm,
"Sorry my rooms on the top floor and I had to climb out my window," Izzy said.
"Okay, not a good explanation," Tai said.
"Well, I was going to sneak out through the front but my parents wouldn't go to bed and then I decided to go out the window but I had to wait for my sister to go to sleep and she goes to bed at 10:30 exactly," Izzy explained.
"Where is Hannah, It's already way late," Wanna said.
"Should I call her?" Carina held her phone up, to show she was ready.
"No, just wait," Wanna said.
"It's all ready 5 to eleven, I don't think waiting is an option," Tai said. Wanna sighed.
"Give her 20 minutes," Wanna said.
"Okay, I hope she's alright," Izzy said.
"I'm sure she is," Carina said. Tai wasn't too sure. I wasn't like Hannah to be so late. They had planned to be here at 10, she was already over 55 minutes late.

Tai was staring at her red and orange sporty watch.
"Guys, I think we have to go in… it's been 20 minutes," Wanna said. Izzy and Carina sighed in defeat.
"25 minutes actually," Tai said.
"I hope she's alright," Carina sighed.
"I'm sure she is, I mean of course she is" Izzy said.
"Sadly, I don't know if we can say the same for us," Wanna muttered.
"I hope we come out okay, I have a hot date with Philippe tomorrow night," Izzy grinned.
"Really, I knew you two were bound to hook up," Carina squealed.
"Could you act serious?" Tai asked.
"Yes, for the world is merely a stage and the people it's actors!" Carina quoted.
"That was so wrong I don't know where to begin," Tai stated.
"Relax they're just tired," Wanna said, as she opened school door.
"Shouldn't that be locked?" Tai asked.
"It's a school," Izzy stated.
"Yeah, but the doors should be locked," Tai said.
"Who wants to rob a school- seriously?" Izzy asked.
"Idiots? Either way it should be locked," Tai said again.
"Well I thi-" Izzy started.
"Guys, shhhh, just be grateful that it was open," Wanna scolded them.
Okay, as much as Tai hated to admit it, and she really hated to admit it she was right. Not. Happy.
They walked down the dark, corridor. Tai had to admit it, the school looked heaps different at night when the halls were dead silent and no one was around.
"After we close the portal do you think that we could go check out the math's office?" Izzy asked, breaking the silence. Her voice echoed down the corridors of the school.
"Why?" Wanna asked.
"Maybe we could try and find the answers to my upcoming math's quiz?" Izzy asked.
"Why did you bother asking that?" Tai asked.
"I'm serious," Izzy said, flatly. Tai looked to her right to check Izzy's face. Nope, she was serious.
"Do you really want too?" Carina asked.
"Well, while we're here and I have the opportunity to…" Izzy trailed off.
"Cheating isn't right and just because you have the opportunity too doesn't make it right," Wanna said.
"Right, I knew that!" Izzy laughed. She didn't understand a word Wanna just said.
"Well, this is the basement where we head the noises," Tai said.
"I didn't know we had multiple basements," Carina said.
"Actually one's a sand room," Tai informed.
Izzy shivered. "I hate the sand room, it's scary," She said.
"Oh the sand room, yeah that room is scary," Carina said.
"Sand room?" Wanna asked, her eyebrow raised.
"We'll show you next week some time- boy is it freaky in there," Carina said.
"Okay, let's do this," Wanna said, staring at the door.
"Okay- who wants to open it and be the first one down there?" Wanna asked, staring at the group. None of them said or did anything.
It's short but you obiously know what's coming
