Author's note: Sorry for the long wait guys, but thank you so much for all the nice reviews! Oh, and the title of this chapter is a reference to the song that is playing during the hallway chase scene in The Breakfast Club movie.
Time-11:50
All was silent and peaceful in the library for almost three whole hours (mostly because everyone was trying to fall asleep), but since all good things must come to an end, the silence was ruined momentarily by a restless student.
"I have to go to the bathroom!" Boone groaned out.
"Ugh, Boone can't you hold it? At least 'til lunch?" Sashi asked him.
"I can't wait that long Sash! Lunch is like a bajillion hours from now!" Boone whined. Sashi just rolled her eyes.
"I kinda have to go to too Sash," Penn said.
"Well, what do you suggest we do, oh wise and powerful leader?" Sashi deadpanned to Penn. Penn just shrugged.
"Alrighty then, I guess it's up to me," Sashi cracked her knuckles and continued, "All in favor of going to the bathroom say I."
"I," said Penn.
"I," said Boone.
"I," said a slightly more feminine voice.
Suddenly there was silence. The trio slowly turned around to face the source of the voice. They saw the yet to be named brown-haired girl push her pink frames atop her nose, and flash them a tiny smile. Penn smiled back, and the girl let out a soft giggle.
Sashi just let out an enervate sigh, "Alright let's go," she said, and the four students all rose from their chairs and made their way to the front of the library. Sashi, then pushed Penn closest to the door. He silently complained to himself, but preceded to peek his head out the door. He heard a faint whistling noise and turned his head to the left and saw Rippen walking down the hall. He opened the door a bit wider and beckoned for the others to follow him up the hallway and around the corner. They all silently filed out, and tried to run as fast as they could up the slippery school hallway without falling over. The door loudly clicked shut behind them, causing Rippen to turn around and look up the hallway, but he didn't see anything there, so he just shrugged, turned back around, and continued walking.
Time-12:20
After the bathroom visit, the students quickly ran back to the hallway with the library door, but when they reached the corner, they saw Rippen at the end of the hallway walking back up to his office, with his head in his phone. The students stopped abruptly and started running back to where they came from. They passed the bathrooms, and continued running straight until they reached the hall with all of the lockers, where they stopped to catch their breath.
"How are we," Sashi huffed, "Gonna get back to the library?"
"I guess we have to go the back way. Through the cafeteria," Boone suggested.
Without thinking, the gang quickly started running again, heading towards the cafeteria. When they got there however, what they saw was not what they were expecting.
"Ugh! The doors are locked!" Boone groaned. "Guys I'm really sorry, I-"
"Hey buddy, it's no prob, we'll figure it out," Penn reassured his friend by patting him on the shoulder.
"But now we're all gonna get in trouble," Boone whined.
Penn thought for a second, "Not all of us, just me. You guys just get back to the library as soon as you can," Penn ordered. With that, he began to run back through the halls.
"On the old western trail we'll be travelin' along, ridin' dinos for justice while singing this song!" Penn sang annoyingly loud as he ran down the hallways and back towards the library.
"Cuz when the good folks are threatened, will be righting that wrong. By returning their money and singing this BUTT!" Penn continued to scream out as he ran past the library and Rippen's office. By that point Rippen stepped out of his office to find the source of the ruckus, and he saw Penn noisily running down the hallway and tearing down school banners.
"Butt butt butt butt, big butt big butt," When Penn reached the end of the corridor, he turned left and continued screaming out his song.
"You come back here right now!" Rippen yelled at Penn as he began chasing behind him.
With Penn's distraction, Rippen wasn't paying attention to the library doors, so the other three students crept back into the library.
Penn's pace began to slow, and Rippen took advantage of this opportunity. He quickly ran up behind Penn and grabbed his arm.
"You're coming with me, Zero," he said and with that they made their way back through the school hallways.
