Rebel

Chapter Two

I was bored. Really bored. I looked up at the clock. I had been here for ten minutes! If this was one of my usual detention days, I would be here for another hour and fifty minutes. I looked back down at my paper. I had to get out of here! Without really thinking, I raised my hand, and yelled, "Mr. Darkling! I have to use the restroom!"

"It can wait." Mr. Darkling said, without looking up from whatever he was looking at.

"No it can't! Really, it's an emergency!"

"I doubt that." Mr. Darkling said, still looking down.

I huffed, then stood up and ran out the door, yelling, "It is really an emergency!"

"Sage!" I could hear Mr. Darkling yelling behind me, but I didn't stop. I slid around a corner and out the front doors. Then an idea popped into my head. Yanking my backpack off my back, I unzipped it and pulled out two dense black orbs. I slid around another corner into the parking lot. I then dropped my backpack and chucked the black orbs as hard as I could.

They soared far, then crashed through the windows of a bright orange hover car, shattering them. "Score!" I yelled, then ran behind a distant tree. Breathing heavily, I reached into my pocket and pulled out a metal remote. I ripped off the plastic cover, and slammed my palm into the big red button. Throwing the remote aside, I covered my ears and braced myself.

There was a giant boom, the crash of metal, and several car alarms went off. Someone screamed, and I could hear the familiar voice of Professor Hoolay yell, "My car! What happened to my car!"

I snickered. I was gonna regret this later, but I might as well enjoy it while I can. Who needs rules anyway? And plus, maybe this will be enough to get me kicked out of the school!

With that thought rushing through my head, I turned around and ran right into a fuming Professor Hoolay.

"Well, well, well." He said in a pleased and almost creepy voice, "Look what we have here. Miss Cordell, please follow me."

He didn't need to offer it, because he just grabbed me by the ear and dragged me there anyway. It was so worth it. I thought, turning my grin into a grimace before anyone saw.

We marched for a surprisingly long time, passing Professor Hoolay's office as we went, and not even stopping for a second. I wonder where we're going then. I thought, remembering to struggle for Professor Hoolay, just to make it more difficult. Just then, with another firm tug, Professor Hoolay yanked me into a room that I've never been in before. The restricted room. Oddly enough, it was unlocked, so we just walked right in.

It was a room so brightly lit that I got a headache. Everything was white, even the light, and there were lights on every surface possible. Professor Hoolay pulled me over to a corner and threw me down on a hard white chair. "Stay." He commanded, then stomped out of the room.

Well obviously I wasn't gonna stay. I hopped out of the chair, and pressed my ear to the door. I waited for the sound of footsteps to die down, then turned the doorknob. Or at least I tried to.

"Locked!?" I yelled, "How on earth did he lock this door? He didn't even have a key!"

I turned around and flopped on to a much comfier looking chair. Actually, it was more like sitting on a cloud. It was the softest thing I've ever sat on. Someone really important must have to sit here, or else the school wouldn't spend money on it.

I sat there for a while, wiggling my toes and looking around at all of the white things. Suddenly, the door flew open with such a loud bang that I jumped. Standing in the doorway was a very pleased and familiar woman.

"Hello." She said. That's when I noticed that she was holding a clipboard, "You must be Sage Cordell. I've heard so much about you! My name is Cathleen Morsie, and I am here to interview you."
