A/N. Who else is fed up with FF right now? o,(0_0),o (the small 'o's' are supposed to be fists) I really am tired of them not letting us log in for hours. I was in the middle of writing a reply to Curlscat's review, and when I sent it, my computer says, "Internet Explorer Cannot Display the Page". DX{ ! So, I originally was going to update yesterday and I'm sorry I didn't. Blame FF for being…olive.
But anyways…

NAKUHAYNAKU!NAANGKAHANGAHANGANG!Wow! Shugoi! (It's an inside joke thing…) \(^-^)/ Thank you, everyone! That's amazing –it really is. Only 36 –now 37- chapters are up, and +400 reviews. Thank you, everyone. The 400th Reviewer is Warisha, so congrats! You get four questions to ask me…WAIT, that means you have seven more questions to ask me…Lucky you! High-five!
Kian says thank you to those who said Happy Birthday (though, I don't think anyone did, hahaha!)! He's in a good mood. Oh, and we watched Journey 2: The Mysterious Island for his birthday as a bonus (Man he's spoiled: A Trip to NJ, Presents, and a Movie…)! OMG! I LOVE JOSH HUTCHERSON! He's gotten so handsome over the years –I almost didn't recognize him. And Gabato –rofl. He's giving a tour in his helicopter, "On this side of the air craft is the South Pacific Ocean. On your left is the other South Pacific Ocean." Everyone on the plane: -_-' Bahahaa!...
Okay, I'm done. This chapter is provided to you by: Cooking Mama! She helped me with this –as did Curlscat for giving me this idea- so big hugs to them! Oh, and the Grinch for not staying out of my way: };] You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch…
Chapter 37: Unbelievable
"Okay, everyone go to your cooking stations and I'll begin to hand out the crabs. Make sure either you or your partner grabs a tray, and cooking tools –remember the crackers!" Mr. Firay started, shooing everyone out of their seats with his hands.
There was the scraping of chairs, little groans, and some twitters of excitement. I stayed in my seat, looking down at the phone in my hand for any new news. My heart skipped a beat when I saw I had a text message from Anna. It took me a few tries to unlock my phone and read it because my hands were shaking.
"Still nothing."
I sighed, hitting the reply button and typing a quick "okay". Wendell still wasn't conscious. But he wasn't in critical condition anymore either, so that was good. His mom had been keeping Ariana and I updated constantly, which is why I had my phone out in class. Usually I stuck to the no texting in class rule.
"Phone away, Ms. Grimm."
I nearly jumped a mile in my seat. Mr. Firay smirked down at me when I lifted my head to grin at him sheepishly. "Sorry."
"Normally I'm supposed to confiscate it..." Mr. Firay trailed off, the smirk on his face growing wider, probably thinking of the time he had tricked me. "But since I know you're worried about Wendell, I'll let you keep it. Don't let me see it again."
"Um, thanks," I muttered, still pink-faced. I quickly slipped my phone into my pocket. "Mr. Firay?"
"What?"
"Since Wendell is my lab partner, what am I going to do? Should I join another group?" I asked, hoping I didn't have to work alone. Dead crabs and I didn't mix. Well, alive crabs didn't like me either. One of the foster homes we were put in worked in the fishing industry. Sabrina and I were supposed to catch lobsters and other crustaceans…it was not a good experience.
"No," Mr. Firay responded. "You'll be working with me."
My eyes widened slightly. How lucky was that? I couldn't stop a small grin from spreading across my face. He must have done this a thousand times! Now I wouldn't have to touch the disgusting thing! Mr. Firay started raised an eyebrow at my expression.
"I hope you're not thinking that I'll be doing all the work," he commented, his smirk growing.
I scowled at him. Olive.
"No," I lied, determined not to give him the satisfaction of somehow being able to read me easily.
"Right..."
"I wasn't!"
"You can't lie to me," Mr. Firay responded, shaking his head. "You think you'd realize that by now?"
I scowled at him. "Maybe I have lied-"
"Mr. Firay?"
Willow's voice gave me a start, and I turned to look at her. She smiled at me quickly, before redirecting her attention to Mr. Firay. A small whoosh of air left my mouth and I swallowed nervously. I had totally forgotten that I was in class! Judging by Mr. Firay's unsurprised look, he hadn't. He smiled at Willow.
"Yes?"
"Are you going to pass out the crabs soon?" she asked, an amused smile slipping onto her face. "My partner and I are ready."
"Right away," Mr. Firay responded, mock saluting her.
Willow giggled and I couldn't help a smile from slipping onto my face. As she walked away, Mr. Firay gestured me to follow him into the supply room. I obeyed immediately, trailing behind him like a dog as he made his way towards the room.
"Grab that tub off the counter," he ordered, gesturing towards a humongous, white tub. "Get the box of latex gloves as well."
"What are you going to take?"
"The lab papers," Mr. Firay responded as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. I'm surprised he didn't add a "duh".
Scowling, I went over to the tub and tried to pick it up. Emphasis on tried.
"What's in here?" I groaned, trying to pick it up again. "It's ridiculously heavy!"
"Probably around forty dead crabs..."
Immediately I stopped trying to pick it up, my face wrinkling in disgust. "What? Why do you have that many?
"There's about twenty students per class, that means ten crabs for ten pairs, and I have four classes. Can you do the math, or should I elaborate?"
"I know how to do math," I snapped at him, another scowl forming.
Part of me was glad that everything was normal between Mr. Firay and myself, but the other part of me was confused. I didn't want it to be awkward or anything, but I had been expecting at least something to be different between us after what Mr. Firay had said last night.
But nope, Mr. Firay was still the pain in the butt like he always was. A sigh escaped my lips as I tried once again to lift the heavy tub of carcasses. Just the thoughts of a dead crab made me feel nauseous. How in the world was I supposed to touch it? Wait…dissect was a better word. How was I supposed to dissect it? I slid the tub of the edge of the counter, and immediately I realized I couldn't hold the weight, and struggled to put the tub back on the counter before it plummeted to the ground. It was the tub versus me. It was winning.
A low chuckle came from right behind me and I jerked, the tub slipping out of hands. Immediately two hand shot out from either side of me, catching the tub before it even dropped three inches down.
"Smooth move," Mr. Firay commented.
His chest was pressed to my back, and I could feel the vibrations from it as he spoke. I blushed from our proximity, standing stock still as Mr. Firay set the tub back on the counter. He retracted his arms from around me and I stepped to the side, frowning at him.
"Mr. Firay, you're going to take the tub. I'm going to take the gloves and labs," I told him, yanking the papers out of his hand, and then turning to grab the box of latex gloves. "Now let's go."
I glanced back at Mr. Firay, who gave me an amused look, a smirk slipping onto his face. He easily lifted the tub of carcasses with ease, nodding with his head for me to exit the room. I did so, exiting the supply room.
"Since I'm holding the tub, you'll have to place a crab on each cooking tray," Mr. Firay commented in a cheerful voice.
I froze, turning to stare at him in horror. "But I… they… I can't! I—"
Mr. Firay chuckled again, rolling his eyes. "You're such a baby."
I narrowed my eyes and opened my mouth to retort, but before I could say anything a guy from my class, Daniel, called Mr. Firay over. He brought the tub over to Tom's table and proceeded to open the tub, and take out a dead crab. I almost gagged.
Ten minutes later, an awful scent filled the room and a dead crab was placed in front of me. Students surrounded my lab table, watching with giddiness. Mr. Firay was showing them how to take the shell off the crab and the other parts.
"Make sure the crab's stomach is facing upwards. Now, pull off this triangle-shaped flap, or the 'apron'," Mr. Firay explained, pointing at the place mentioned. "Turn it over and remove the shell by inserting your thumb between the body and the shell at the crab's rear, pulling the shell upwards. Then you should be able to twist off the claws and legs easily."
"You look like you're going to be sick," someone whispered in my ear.
Turning my head, I realized it was Daniel. He smirked at me, his eyes glowing with amusement. I rolled my eyes.
"Can't you smell it?"
"Smells great!" Daniel responded, taking a deep whiff of air. "It's so… ugh." He covered his mouth and shut his eyes in disgust.
A short burst of laughter escaped my lips, before I covered it, glancing back at Mr. Firay, who was watching me with a frown. I felt my face heat up slightly and I quickly averted my gaze.
"Ms. Grimm, you'd better be paying attention," he warned.
"It's my fault," Daniel interjected before I could reply.
Mr. Firay raised an eyebrow, turning his eyes to Daniel. "Well Daniel, you, too, have to pay attention."
"Yes, sir!" Daniel responded, lifting his arm up to salute Mr. Firay, and nicking me in the face with his elbow. He didn't even notice.
A smirk appeared on Mr. Firay's face, making it obvious he had seen the accident, as he returned his attention to the dead crab in front of him, opening the stomach. When it was fully open, you could see the crab's insides.
"Can you guys handle it?" Mr. Firay asked, turning his attention back to the class. "Taking the arms and legs out will be a little more difficult, but if you pull hard enough, they'll come out easily. Then use the cracker to crack open the leg shells. When you're done with that, pick out the meat with the tip of the crab's claw."
"I think I'm going to be sick," a girl commented from behind me.
Mr. Firay laughed. "You'll get used to the smell soon, don't worry."
"Doubt it," the same student muttered.
"Alright," Mr. Firay said, clapping his hands together. "Get to it. There's gloves right here, so grab a pair for you and your partner if you need them."
Students shuffled forwards to take the gloves, and I moved back to let them pass me. When everyone was all set, I went closer to the cooking table, eyeing the crab warily. Mr. Firay had a smirk on his face again as he pulled on some of the gloves. He tossed a pair at me, and then handed me the scissors.
"You take off the other part of the shell and I'll start pulling the legs and claws out. I'll crack open the legs, too."
"I'll pass," I responded, feeling queasy already. "I can't really handle dissections—"
"Don't be a milksop," Mr. Firay interrupted me, rolling his eyes.
I gave him a flat look. "What does that even mean?"
Mr. Firay sighed, not even bothering to respond. I frowned slightly, turning my attention to putting my gloves on. What was I expecting, exactly? At least some kind of change in attitude, definitely. But everything was just so… normal. It was a little nerve-wracking.
Had there been no special meaning behind what Mr. Firay had said last night? Did he just wish that because the gang was targeting me? Because I was a bad student? Or because he liked me in a way a teacher shouldn't like his student?
That thought was quickly blown out of the way. No, it couldn't be that. Mr. Firay still loved Diana. He went to see her all the time, and he had said, "You never stop loving someone." But as in he was still in love with her, or still loved her? They both had two different meanings.
I sighed, shaking my head slightly. I sounded like some weird, obsessed, stalker.
"Open, Daphne," Mr. Firay commanded, grabbing my hand and bringing it to the front of the crab. "Right here."
For a second I relished in the fact he was holding my hand, but I quickly sobered up as he tugged at my hand, the shell opening little by little. I tried to yank my hand back, but Mr. Firay held it firmly. Even though I was in the process of opening up a dead crab, a blush still somehow made its way onto my face.
"C'mon," Mr. Firay said, rolling his eyes again. "It's not that bad."
I shook my head. "I can't," I stated stubbornly.
Mr. Firay sighed, letting go of my hand. "Fine, I'll open it and crack the leg shells, and you won't have to do anything."
I blinked, staring at Mr. Firay in surprise. He was going to just let me off like that? Maybe something had changed after all. A smile made its way onto my face.
"However, next lab day you'll be pulling the spongy gills and the paddles out," he continued, a smirk slipping onto his face.
"That's not fair!" I protested, making a grab for the crab. "I'd rather take the shell off instead!"
"Too late now," he told me, pulling the shell completely off quickly. "I got the easy part."
I glared at him. "You're a jerk."
He chuckled. "I know."
"Mr. Firay?" a new voice spoke.
Mr. Firay turned towards the girl whom had spoken. She glanced at me before returning her gaze to Mr. Firay.
"Can you help my partner and me?" she asked, pursing her lips. "We can't get the leg out…"
"Of course, I'll do it for you," Mr. Firay responded, smiling at the girl.
The girl smiled back, and then started walking back to her table. I rolled my eyes, frowning at Mr. Firay. He smirked at me for a moment, before nodding towards the crab with his head.
"When I get back I expect this crab's arms and claws to be pulled out," he told me.
"But—" I protested, but stopped when he began to walk away.
I sighed, looking back down at the crab. Was Mr. Firay really going to make me do this by myself? It was so unfair! I swallowed, picking up the crabs' dead claw. To my surprise, the arm was already out of the skin. The other claw and both legs were already out of the crab as well. I glanced at Mr. Firay and found him looking back at me. He smirked, and I blushed, looking away instantly.
I hadn't even seen him do it for me. With new resolve, I pulled my gloves on tighter. The least I could do was rid the crab of the meat. As soon as I scraped the tip of the crab's claw against the crab meat and roe, I almost got sick. Crab croquettes were definitely not for me.
Mr. Firay ended up helping out every other group, and before I knew it, it was the end of the period. The bell rang as I quickly placed a plastic cover over the dead crab parts, writing my name on it, and placing it in the refrigerator where we were storing them. The last student besides me left the room, leaving me along with Mr. Firay. I quickly grabbed my books, heading towards the door.
"Have a good day, Daphne," he said as I walked by.
I stopped immediately, twisting around to look at him in surprise. "What?"
"Have a good day, Daphne?" he reiterated raising an eyebrow.
"You called me Daphne!" I said in amazement.
"Don't I usually call you Daphne?"
"Not in class," I told him, a grin growing on my face.
He smirked, watching me with an amused expression. "Why are you getting so excited?"
"I-I'm not," I denied, feeling my face heat up. "You just only call me 'Ms. Grimm' in school when there are people around… Huh…"
"What?"
"You do only call me Ms. Grimm when people are around," I commented, looking around to make sure the class was actually empty. "Why is that?"
"I don't know," Mr. Firay responded, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.
"But you call everyone else by their first name!"
The door opened, and a group of giggling girls came in. I scowled in annoyance at them. Perfect timing.
"You'd better get going before you're late to class, Ms. Grimm," Mr. Firay commented, checking his watch. "You've got two minutes."
I sighed, brushing past the girls in the doorway. "Bye, Mr. Firay."
\(o_~)/\(o_~)/\(o_~)/\(o_~)/\(o_~)/\(o_~)/\(o_~)/\(o_~)/\(o_~)/\(o_~)/\(o_~)/\(o_~)/\(o_~)/\(o_~)/
The rest of the school day passed in a flash. When the final bell rang, I took out my phone to check my messages. There was one new message from Anna. Suddenly I was overcome with nerves. My hands shook as I pressed the open button. Two words stared back at me.
"He's awake."
Relief spread through me, and I had to hold in a cry of excitement. I quickly typed back, asking if she could come pick me up, but the sending failed. My phone had no service. I quickly ran outside, waiting impatiently for my phone to gain bars back. It never did.
"C'mon," I muttered, flipping my phone open and shut in hope to gain at least a little service. "Now's not the time!"
No matter how many times I opened and closed my phone, I still had not service. I growled in frustration. The hospital was way too far for me to walk, and my mom wasn't home. Who could I ask for a ride from?
"Sage!" I gasped, quickly going to his contacts and hitting the call button, forgetting I didn't have service. It wouldn't connect.
Another groan of frustration escaped my lips. I had to see Wendell right now! I had to see he was awake with my own eyes! But first I needed a phone. Maybe I could use a teacher's phone. My eyes widened.
"Mr. Firay!" I cried, out of breath from sprinting to his room. "Help!"
He looked at me with an alarmed expression on his face, immediately standing from his desk, and coming over to me. "What's wrong?" he demanded, quickly scanning my face. "Did something—"
"I need to use your phone!" I told him, now holding a stitch in my side. "It's important! Wendell woke up!"
"He did?" Mr. Firay responded in surprise.
"Yes," I said quickly, "now let me use the phone."
Mr. Firay chuckled, letting me into his room. "Go ahead."
I grabbed the school phone from the wall, quickly pressing the buttons that led to the outside line. When I heard the dial tone, I quickly dialed Sage's phone number. On the second ring it picked up.
"Hello?"
"Hi! It's Daphne," I told him, tapping my foot anxiously. "Can you bring me to the hospital?"
"Why? Is something wrong?" he asked, his voice becoming concerned.
"No," I responded, "Wendell woke up."
"Who are you talking to?" Mr. Firay asked, suddenly appearing behind me.
"Is that Matt?" Sage asked.
"Yes," I told him, and then turned to Mr. Firay. "It's Sage."
"Hi Matt!" Sage shouted, making me wince and pull the phone away from my ear. "Did he hear me?"
"Don't yell," I responded, frowning. "And I don't know. Sage says hi, Mr. Firay."
"Why are you asking him for a ride?" he demanded, frowning at me. "I can give you a ride."
"Aw, he's jealous," Sage commented, letting out a little laugh.
"No, he's not," I responded, feeling a blush creep onto my face. "And will you, Mr. Firay? Right now?"
"Sure," Mr. Firay responded. "I just need to grab my work. Do you plan on staying there for a while?"
"Yeah, why?"
He frowned. "I have somewhere to go at four, so ask Sage if he'll pick you up."
"I can," Sage told me, without needing me to ask.
"He can," I told Mr. Firay, my stomach clenching in excitement. "I'll call you later then, Sage."
"Okay, talk to you soon then."
"Bye."
"I love you," he said in a teasing voice before I could hang up.
I rolled my eyes, a smile spreading across my face. "I love you too, Sage."
Mr. Firay's head snapped to mine as I hung up the phone. He watched me with a frown as I slipped my cell phone back into my pocket. I looked back at him, growing self-conscious.
"What?" I finally asked, raising a hand to my face. Was there something on it?
"Nothing," Mr. Firay said, turning away from me. "Let's go."
I narrowed my eyes in confusion, but followed him out of the classroom anyway. We went to his car, and he opened the passenger door for me. I climbed in and buckled as Mr. Firay got into the driver's side. For some reason, he looked bothered.
I suddenly felt guilty. Was it my fault? Was I ruining some plans he had made? Mr. Firay pulled out of the parking lot, still not saying a word. I fidgeted with my fingers nervously. Finally, I couldn't stand the silence.
"Sorry," I apologized, turning to look at Mr. Firay. "Am I ruining your plans?"
He glanced at me in surprise, and then shook his head, returning his attention to the road. "No. Why?"
"I don't know. You seem bothered," I responded honestly.
Mr. Firay immediately frowned. "Do I?"
"Yeah…"
"Well, is there something I should know?" he asked, his tone growing hard.
"What do you mean…?"
"You know what I mean," he responded, glancing at me again with slightly narrowed eyes.
"No, I don't," I responded, a frown now appearing on my face.
Mr. Firay rolled his eyes. "Fine, don't tell me. Even though I told you about my past, even though it was private and I've never shared it with anyone but you…"
"What am I supposed to be telling you?" I demanded, growing irritated. "I haven't done anything!"
"Well, never mind then."
"No, not 'never mind'!" I responded, glaring at him now. "Now you have to tell me. I didn't do anything to make you angry at me, right?"
"I'm not angry at you," Mr. Firay said. "I'm just slightly annoyed."
"What? Why?"
"Wendell is at the local hospital, right?" Mr. Firay asked, ignoring me.
I scowled, but still answered his question. "No, he's at Presbyterian."
"Presbyterian?" Mr. Firay asked, looking surprised. "Why is he there?"
"Better intensive care unit," I guessed, shrugging. "But we aren't changing the topic."
Mr. Firay sighed, taking a turn onto the highway that led to the hospital. "I said never mind. It's your life and you can do what you want."
"What am I doing?" I responded in exasperation. "Mr. Firay, just tell me."
"Matt," he corrected.
"I will never call you by your name if you don't tell me," I threatened.
"If I tell you, you might get mad."
I blinked in shock. Was Mr. Firay's tone of voice embarrassed? He looked at me sheepishly, making me more surprised. The sheepish look was a new one too. Was the world coming to an end?
"Now I'm really curious," I said, leaning closer to him. "Tell me."
He cleared his throat. "I thought I said I don't want you to date Sage."
That was not what I was expecting. I raised an eyebrow in confusion. "You did."
"So why are you two still dating?"
"Huh?"
Mr. Firay's hands automatically tightened on the steering wheel. "Sorry, Daphne. I'm just… I don't handle these situations well."
"Wait, first of all, Sage and I aren't dating," I responded, shaking my head. "We've gone on dates, but as friends. I thought we went over this last night…"
Mr. Firay frowned, glancing at me for a split second again. "Then why'd you tell him you loved him?"
My eyes widened. Wait... was Mr. Firay jealous? Jealous of Sage? Jealous, and admitting it? A blush fought its' way onto my face again.
"No, no, no," I responded, fighting the urge to smile. "Friends. We're friends."
"Oh."
"Why does it matter?" I pressed, biting my lip.
"It doesn't," Mr. Firay muttered. "We're here."
I looked up to see the giant hospital displayed in front of me. Mr. Firay drove me up to the entrance, gesturing his head towards the door.
"See you later."
"I'm not leaving until you tell me why me dating Sage matters," I told him, crossing my arms.
He sighed. "I said never mind."
"Fine. Then never mind about me telling you the whole truth about the situation."
I kept my face as straight as I could as I told him that total lie. He narrowed his eyes slightly. I almost smirked. Instead, I reached for the door handle. As soon as my hand came in contact, I heard the click of the locks.
I rolled my eyes. What an old trick. I unlocked the door again, this time holding the lock, and was able to open it. A small smirk of triumph appeared on my face. I turned back to give Mr. Firay a smug look.
"Guess I'll talk to you later."
"Daphne, wait," Mr. Firay demanded, reaching over the seat and grabbing my arm. "I just want you to tell me seriously whether you're dating Sage or not."
"Why should I?" I responded, frowning at him. "What difference does it make?"
"Remember what I said to you the last night? Before we left?"
I frantically forced back the blush that was threatening to come on my face. "What about it?"
"Think about that," he told me, a serious look on his face.
"Huh?"
He let out a small groan of frustration. "Come on, Daphne. Put two and two together."
"Put two and two together…?"
I almost gasped when I realized what he meant. If he was jealous of Sage, then what he said about being my teacher could only mean one thing… I stared at Mr. Firay with my eyes wide. What was I supposed to say? Or did it actually not mean what I thought it meant?
Mr. Firay sighed, placing his forehead against his steering wheel. "Did you figure it out?"
"You're gay and want to be with Sage?" I babbled, not knowing what else to say.
Mr. Firay looked at me so fast I know he must have cricked his neck. He stared at me in incredulity. I forced myself to keep a straight face, and even managed to frown. It was a very hard feat.
"What?"
"I should have known," I said with a sigh, proceeding to get out of the car. "No guy can be as good looking as you and be straight, huh?"
"Daphne? No –wait!"
"Sorry, I've got to go! And I'm not dating Sage, I promise," I told him, turning my back on him. "See you!"
Mr. Firay honked the car horn after me as I speed-walked to the entrance of the hospital. My heart was beating a thousand beats per minute and I felt dizzy. When I came to the hospital doors, I leaned against one for a minute, trying to cool my head.
When I finally calmed down, I groaned, sinking my head into my hands. That could have been considered a confession from Mr. Firay. Something I never believed in my life to be possible. Something I should be jumping up and down and screaming about. But no. I played it off as though Mr. Firay was gay. I groaned again. Unbelievable.
A/N. Bwahaha, poor Daphne. But…phew. You have no idea how much work went into this. I had to look up Crab Croquettes, and hospitals in NYC…D: But, I'm glad it played off. I'm not sure if the instructions on how to make the crabs flowed right, but I'll fix that soon. And yeah –I know the idea of Daphne not liking crabs is unlikely, but maybe she likes eating them, just not making them, right?
Anyways, my friend, Jordan, sent me pictures of her rat dissection –EW! MY GOSH, THAT'S SO GROSS! THE RAT'S FUR WAS OFF AND IT WAS PINK!...*shudders* It was creepy.
Um, yeah! So, maybe, two more updates this week, then the six day update is next. ^^ Yays!

yellow.r0se: I don't think so, but oh well! Lol, I see. Well, it's not your Blackberry's fault –FF was being annoying yesterday…I mean the day before, hahaha. No one could review or log into their account. Thanks! Daphne appreciates your comment, too. :D Yeah, people were saying that, but I'm saying, "Wait, you want something worse?" lol. :D Yeah –I'm glad too. Thanks for the review!
Arisha: I once read a 64 chapter-ed story in two days. :D Thanks! And no, I'm not angry anymore, but thanks for being considerate. :D Thanks. Sorry I didn't update Sunday –FF was being stupid.
killer bunnies: It's been up since…Thursday. 0.0 You only waited a day…Thanks! Aw, I'm glad I made you feel a little better. Hope your sickness lifts up! ^^
Cat: Well, you guys have your account up so yayaayaya! *sigh* I have to explain again…it's going to be completely answered in a later chapter. Go back to the prologue and ponder over it.
