Here is (the finally posted because I'm way too lazy) Chapter 4.
I stumbled over tall spring green grass and my own two feet, which resulted in several trips. The sweet aroma of fresh air invaded my sense of smell instead of the usual smell of sweat and cheese. Now I had more freedom, now I could roam free, but not for as long as I had wanted. I felt a strange tickling sensation on my leg and look down to see a small ant crawling up. I splattered it on my hand and continued making the best out my short "free time" as I put it. Douglas has been very careful not to let me out too much so I won't end up kidnapped or something. Like anyone stood a chance against me.
The only thing I could think to do is run, so I took a quick little jog to the school. It seemed almost empty except for the outside extracurricular activities and such, nothing interesting. It was 5:37 according to my watch and I did a quick, yet strange at the moment, double axel jump and made a perfect crouching position, gracefully acting as if I could ice-skate. The first thing I could think of doing is checking to see if being around the principal really was torture.
I twirled my way into the school, which was open for some reason, and ran into a locker. "Ugh" I fell and banged my head on the floor,"Great I'm going to feel that tomorrow." I mumbled.
"Feel what tomorrow?" I heard a familiar voice above me ask.
"Nothing, I'm probably just going to get a headache." I answered and looked up. Standing above me was Leo, whom I had met earlier. Scrambling to my feet and dusting myself off, all I could say was "What are you doing in school?"
"You know, I was late to class twice and Perry made me stay after school, Adam was supposed to be here too, but him, Bree, and Chase had to go on a...never mind that. He'll make up for it tomorrow. The real question is what are you doing here?" Leo gave me a skeptical look as if being inside school when it was over wasn't normal.
"I don't know. I rarely get to go outside because of my overprotective dad." I smiled awkwardly and suddenly stopped. "What were you going to say?" I asked just now acknowledging how Leo stopped short of his sentence.
"Nothing, I don't even know what I was going to say anyway." He replied.
"It happens. Why are you out here though? Shouldn't you be in a room for detention or something?" I asked, jerking my head around to see if there was anyone else here.
"No, MCH's principal has her own ways of giving us detention. She says detention isn't enough."
"Doesn't the school board know about this?"
"Nope, she acts perfect when the superintendent visits." Leo shrugged, "really makes you wonder why she even wanted to be a principal."
"Yeah, it does. She may be a good principal despite the fact that she may be crazy and has mentioned quite a few… unusual jobs in the past. So when are you getting out of 'detention'?" I used air quotes around the word detention because I was certain that it wasn't normal high school detention.
"In about 15 minutes, but then I gotta hurry home. My step dad really needs me"
"Okay, well see you at school tomorrow" I waved goodbye and set off back towards my house. Even more thoughts were heaped into my mind. I tried used ratiocination to perceive what I was thinking, but nothing would come to mind because of so many distractions. All I could think of was that high school wasn't exactly like what I had read about. But I guess you can't believe everything you read, see, or hear right? I mean I thought high school was going to be the same way it is in books, but not Mission Creek. Maybe it was just the location or maybe it was just my strange life being compared. Anything that stood in my way really didn't stand much of a chance, but first I would have to care for my mind to know to accede to anything.
In case you couldn't tell, I'm not very emotional, especially when it comes to any discussion about my past. Glancing at my watch and noticing the approaching six o'clock and picked up speed. Tonight was scheduled for pizza night! I really missed it since the last time Marcus messed up. I shuddered, that was the worst day ever in the history of worst days ever. For a randomly unknown reason to myself, my next thought was I'm going to wear camouflage tomorrow…
Okay so there was some random stuff in here and I will try to explain why if you want. 'The usual smell of sweat and cheese' at the beginning. Cheese because I really like the taste of cheese, and sweat as a reference to when Leo said it smelled like sweaty dudes inside Douglas' old lab.
I said Perry was crazy because I believe that she actually is sort of strange compared to the behavior of a normal principal. Mentioned camouflage is because I wear camouflage pattern with a custom black design by me a lot. Well there's chapter 4! Bye.
