Henry's POV
When we get to Henry's school, Ray is looking around and I think he actually like it.
"Alright,sooo what now?" Ray asks.
"Well in a few minutes the school bell will ring and then-" I say when Miss. Shapen walks up to us.
"Henry, who is this?" Miss. Shapen asks.
"Oh this is uh, Ray" I say nervously.
"I've never heard of a Ray at this school" Miss. Shapen says.
"Oh well he's uh..." I say looking at Ray for help. Aw fudge she knows something's up
"I'm a foreign exchange student from Pakistan" Ray says.
"Really?I didn't know our school did a foreign exchange student program" Miss. Shapen says suspiciously.
"Uhh yeah ,we just started this week. Ray is from ,uh, Dorfnof Academy and is coincidentally advanced for his grade and is in my grade. Right, Ray?" I say. Okay lets see where this goes.
"Yes. This is true" Ray says with a nod and a smile. Yeah ,we're dead.
"Huh...Okay. See you guys in history class" Miss. Shapen says and walks down the hallway. Ray and I just look at each other and laugh for a minute. Charlotte walks up to us with widened eyes when she sees Ray.
"Uhh Ray why are you here?" Charlotte asks.
"Well Henry asked me if I wanted to see what school was like. So I'm here for a day" he says with a hand gesture of the building.
"Are you guys sure this is a good idea?" Charlotte asks.
"Yeah, no one here knows who Ray is. It will be fine" I say.
"Well I hope you have a good day" Charlotte says and walks with us to the classroom. When we get into the room, I sit down in one of the desks and wave him over to one of the desks next to me. As Ray sits down, the school bell rings and Miss. Shapen walks to the front of the class room.
"Now class, we have a new student today. Ray why don't you come to the front of the classroom?" Miss. Shapen says. Ray looks at me and tenses up. He walks up to the front of the classroom.
"Ray is a part of our new student exchange program. Ray, will you please tell the class about your country while I sit at my desk rethinking my life?" Miss. Shapen asks with a dull face. Wow that lady really needs to get a boyfriend.
"Uhh sure. Well Pakistan is a country with people and its got great banana trees , okay any questions?" Ray says in a panic. Oliver raises his hand. Oh no.
"Sing the national anthem of your country" Oliver says.
"No questions, okay thank you" Ray says and quickly sits down. He looks at me and blows out air in relief. I just laugh quietly to myself.
Ray's POV
After history Charlotte, Henry, and I head towards the lockers. Even though I didn't really like being twelve ,I'm starting to feel a little better. This has actually been fun.
"Wow who knew shooting spit wads at a teacher could be so much fun" I say in excitement.
"Well I'm glad you had fun" He says. Henry's sister comes stomping through the front door.
"Henry! Where are my headphones!?"Piper screams. Wow, I'm technically only thirty-five and she is going to make me have to start using a hearing-aid.
"They are right here. Calm down" Henry says and gives her the headphones out of his pocket.
"Next time try not to be such a...Who,who is this?" Piper stops and is almost in a daze when she sees Ray.
"Oh this is Ray. He is new" Henry says as Piper starts fixing her hair. Does she like me?
"Oh well hi Ray. My name is Piper" Piper says as she winks at me. I nod nicely. There is an awkward silence as she stares at me. This is getting creepy.
"Uhh Piper shouldn't you be getting to class?" Henry says.
"Yeah. I will see you around" Piper says and hands me a paper. She walks towards the door and turns around using her hand to make a phone and mouthing "call me". After she leaves I shiver and throw the paper away.
"Well apparently my sister has a crush on you" Henry says.
"Yeah I noticed, ugh" I say as I'm about to puke. Henry's and my watch start beeping I quickly silence mine. Henry doesn't know ,but I know how to silence my watch.
"There must be an emergency" I say and look at Henry.
"Yeah I guess I better head down to Junk'N'Stuff" Henry says.
"Okay but just be careful .I will stay with Charlotte" I say.
"Okay , see you later" Henry says as he runs out the door.
"See ya" I say. I start to feel the same feeling I did when I first got zapped. I still can't believe that I have to get my sidekick to fight for me. It feels like I got punched in the stomach and then ran over by a truck.
"Ray you okay" Charlotte says. I look up.
"Yeah, I'm fine" I say.
"Okay come on we should get to math" Charlotte says and I walk with Charlotte as my sidekick is off doing my job.
