Here is Chapter Nine XD

RINNGGG!

(After much effort to get working) The recess bell finally sounded throughout the halls of WoodView Elementary.

"Alright class, I want to see a quiet single file line." Mrs. Davis instructed as she held the door open for her students.

This instruction, however, fell on deaf ears as the children of classroom 77 seemed in a frenzy. The halls of the school seemed a totally new place in the dark. Kids pushed and shoved through the pitch black halls. Becky tried her best to stay close to Violet, but it was impossible.

"Why can't I see!" Someone shouted.

"Stop SHOVING!" A aggravated student growled.

"Ha, I'm the best at shoving!" Victoria Best chanted and began to shove harder.

"Becky?" A shy voice could be heard over the chaos.

"Violet?" Becky called out in the darkness.

Just as Becky thought she found her friend someone pushed her away.

"What's going on!" Another kid shouted in fear. The voice that Becky finally clarified to be Scoops.

The noise began to grow to the point that even Becky couldn't keep track of it.

"I'm scared!"

"Mrs. Davis, I can't find the bathroom!

"This wall feels slimy!"

"Booo! I'm a ghost!

"I WANT MY MOMMY!

Becky wondered who cried that. It sounded like Tobey.

"Tobey? Was that you?" Becky questioned into the darkness.

"Umm…Oh course not!" Tobey shouted nervously.

"Class settle down!" Mrs. Davis shouted over the ruckus.

The mania suddenly came to a grinding halt and everyone grew silent as they waited for Mrs. Davis's instructions.

"Now everyone needs to calm down. All that has happened is the electricity has gone out." The teacher spoke with a chuckle.

"Why is the electricity down, Mrs. Davis?" Becky asked.

"Nobody knows, but what we do know is that this is still school. Now everyone behave yourselves during recess. " Mrs. Davis opened the door and led all of the students out to the playground.

The students of Woodview Elementary each made their way out onto the playground. However three students…actually two students and a monkey weren't enjoying themselves. Becky, though, trying to walk alone was followed by her two best friends; Violet and Bob the monkey. The three each sat on one of the swings on the swing set. It was obvious to Violet and Bob that something was a matter with Becky. The disappointed girl just sat on the swing kicking the black gravel bits in the playground sand.

Violet awkwardly sat on one of the swings and gained the confidence to open her mouth. At first no words came out, but Violet was desperate to figure out why Becky was upset.

"Uhh…That cloud looks like a ice cream cone."

Violet pointed to the sky nervously. Urgh, somehow that wasn't what she wanted to say. Starting a conversation wasn't one of her best talents.

Becky looked up at the sky in concentration. After a minute or two, Becky (having no imagination when it came to cloud shapes) gave up her search.

"Ummm…I don't see it."

Becky sighed and looked back at the sand.

Her reply was then followed by a long awkward silence.

"Becky is there something wrong?"

Violet forced the question out of her mouth.

"Ha, wrong? No no no something isn't wrong umm…it's just that…well... I…"

Becky nervously twiddled her fingers then looked at Violet. Violet obviously was content with her 'answer' but she was not.

Sigh

"Yeah I guess there is something wrong, Violet." Becky admitted.

"Well if there is something wrong Becky, you can tell me." Violet hoped that Becky might share. Becky always kept how she felt inside.

Becky tried to hold back any tears that might urge into her eyes. She was going to tell Violet what happened.

"Urgh…ok… I GOT A F ON MY HISTORY REPORT!"

Bob's mouth dropped and Violet almost flipped off her swing.

"Yikes! Is it me or is this swing slippery?" Violet quickly caught her balance.

"Eeep!?" Bob questioned.

"No, Bob I'm not joking." Becky sadly confessed.

"Well that's not too bad." Violet tried to cheer up Becky.

Becky wanted to believe Violet. She wanted to remember what her Dad had told her that "Nobody is perfect". But Becky couldn't get over all the stress and worry this would cause. Becky just decided to let it all out.

"YES! YES It IS! I have never gotten a F in my LIFE! What are my parents going to say? What is this going to do to my grade? I'm DOOMED!"

Becky burst into tears and jumped off the swing.

"Becky?" Violet wanted to chase after her friend, but she figured Becky probably needed to be alone.

Becky ran over to the farthest shady tree. Sliding to the ground against the tree, Becky clutched her knees and buried her face in her arms. It appeared to her that things couldn't get much worst, but the sulking girl was about to be proven wrong.

"Oh, this is terribly tragic." A familiar british accent spoke.

Urgh!

Well this is it for now, but I'll hopefully be posting more soon :D. Anywho, have a great rest of the summer ;( (school is coming!). Please R&R if you want XD
