The Mistake, Chapter Five

**That wasn't to long a break, eh? I'm gonna try and do these more close- together but I might take a long break (well not to long) for two reasons: A)August 4 I start high school (big whoop.) and B)I wanna write some ideas for where this story should go. Any ideas? Review :-)**

Turner had a fun time the next morning trying to get everyone ready for school. Cory looked like he hadn't slept in four days, Eric hadn't slept in four days, Morgan was trying to find the purple and green dress that Cory swore didn't exist, and Joshua was being..Well, a baby. Turner had gotten someone to take care of him at a local free day-care until he could make long-time arrangements, but he had never had to wake up and get a baby prepared.

First, he forgot to put baby power on the baby. Then, he forgot to put the diaper on the baby. When they were halfway to the van, Shawn noticed that 'the wittle baby' was missing it's 'wittle booties'. Turner looked down and sure enough, Joshua was grabbing his toes and gurgling. Shawn ran upstairs to get the baby's shoes and then Turner realized that he had forgotten the baby bag at the Matthews' house.

Needless to say, by the time they got to school, everyone was cranky--and late. Feeny greeted them with a dissaproving stare. "Turner, I trust you had a bad morning?" Feeny suggested. "Very bad," Turner mumbled. "Yes, I see on your shirt. Baby spit-up, is it?" Feeny asked with a twinkle in his eye. Turner grunted in reply and ran to the classroom. Eric went to his homeroom and Cory and Shawn followed Turner. When Cory entered, everyone got quiet.

Mr. Turner sat down and put his hands in his head. "Mr Turner," Topanga said quietly, "is it alright if I switch places with Sarah?" Turner looked up. Sarah was the girl in back of her, in front of Cory. "Sure, sure. Sarah, trade with Topanga." Without complaining, the girl stood up and they switched. Topanga smiled at Cory, who gave a half-smile but it was dropped when he looked around and saw everyone staring at him.

"Hey is this a staring contest? Bet I can win!" Shawn said and started looking around the room, bugging his eyes out.

(Later that Day)

THey were sitting in the cafeteria and it was unusually quiet. "Will everyone just shut-I mean, quit staring at me like I'm some sort of freak!" Cory suddenly screamed, making everyone jump but Feeny and Turner. Some people continued to stare but others shook their head and resumed their own conversations.

"So, how'd it go?" Feeny asked. "How'd what go? Last night when Joshua wouldn't stop screaming or when Morgan kept waking up asking for her mommy and daddy? Or how about Eric trying to hide the fact and concentrate on which girl he's going to practice the new lip technique on?" Turner demanded sarcastically. "Oh I'm sorry George. Just..a rough night. Things'll get better though, I'm sure of it."

"You didn't menture Cory or Mr. Hunter," Feeny responded. "Yeah well that's because Cory's barely uttered ten words since the funeral and Shawn's being Shawn. He's just...He's trying to make everyone happier, but he just doesn't realize the pain that his buddy's going through, I guess. But it'll get better," he said again.

Feeny didn't answer. He looked up and saw Cory putting his tray away. "Where ya going, Matthews?" Turner asked. "Oombloblay," Cory called his shoulders.
