The Ern Chronicles II

(8) Lost

Hola people! This chapter is dedicated to those of you who can touch their nose with their tongue. To those of you who can't, HA! You're a bad kisser.

I'm kidding xD

The chapter is dedicated to people who've ever been lost. Physically.

Make sure you laugh at her. Just for the fun of it.

...

One fine morning, her mother drags her out of her bed and shove her into the bathroom, telling her to go get dressed up for school.

"What school?" She yawns, rubbing her face. This week was meant to be a holiday for all of them. Term break, that's what the teachers call it.

"Physics extra class, you sleepy head. Hurry up before your dad gets here. He told me to call you about half an hour ago." Her mother handed her a towel and headed downstairs, singing a sad song that only her mom could sing in a cheerful manner.

"Fine!" She groaned. She could handle one more day of physics 'extra' class.

Fifteen minutes passed away quickly as she hummed to herself and got ready for school. She normally needed only ten minutes, but the band aid-ish things her skin doctor rolled around her arm was slowing her down. And irritating her to no end.

'Damn you, allergies. ' She mumbled and ran downstairs, grabbing her bag off the table.

A few radioactive lessons won't hurt.

....

"Bye dad!" She called out as she reached the front gate of her school. All she could see was the school guard who had too much makeup on her face. She couldn't spot any o f her friends, who'd normally be seated somewhere around the school foyer.

Maybe she was late.

The thought of being late to Mrs. Kevin's class scared her to the bones. That woman can literally make a kid pee by just smiling at them. In a very sadistic way.

She quickened her pace as she ran towards the staircase, wondering which class they were in.

"Was it first or second floor?" She muttered, trying to recall yesterday's class.

She ran all over the first floor and decided to go to the second floor as she found no trace of them.

"Shit, I'm really late." She kept talking to herself as she sprinted all around the second, third and forth floors.

Thinking that she missed a class she repeated this until she could no longer breath properly. She was huffing and puffing like an angry bull now.

"Where the hell are they?"She screamed out. She was getting extremely frustrated as well. It has been almost ten minutes since she entered the school and she was very very late.

"Maybe I should ask the guard..." She thought.

Breaking into another sprint, she raced downstairs where the overly prepped-up guard sat. Her gypsy bangles catching the light of the morning sun once in a while which made her look ridiculous! Who wears those with a formal guard uniform?

"Uh, excuse me? Can you please tell me where Mrs.Kevin is?" She asked the guard politely, trying to control her breathing.

The guard cocked her head, "Eh?"

This made the girl's temper rise a notch. How stupid can a security guard be?

"My physics teacher, Mrs.Kevin. Do you know where she is?" She tried keeping her anger out of her voice. She was not losing her temper over a gypsy/wannabe makeup star security guard. Not a stupid one at that.

"Kevin? Who Kevin? I no know fesics..." The guard scratches her head, looking fairly confused now.

The girl was ready to walk away from this stupid lady when the she screamed.

"AH! Fesics! I know now!" She motions the girl to follow her enthusiastically, her bangles making a very annoying___ well, bangle sound.

"Why you no tell me before? I know fesics! You make me look crazy, you know. Me very good at this! Why you try to make me mad?" She rambled on and on as she walked towards the back of the school.

"What are they doing there?" The girl wondered. Maybe they were testing out some rocks with the Uranium counting thing. She concluded.

"Here is Fesics!" The guard stopped at the end of the school compound and pointed at a man sweeping a few feet away.

"Fesics! This girl wants to talk to you! Come here!" The lady called him.

The girl could not take it anymore.

"I wanted to see Mrs.Kevin! Not Fesics! Or whoever this man is!" She said through gritted teeth. What the hell the school doing with security guards like this?

"Who Mrs.Kevin? I no know her..." The enthusiastic smile was replaced with a frustrated frown now.

"Goddammit!" The girl lost it as she turns back and stomps away from her towards the gate.

"I am Buri! You want help, you come to me, okay?" She heard the lady, Buri call out.

"Buri, my ass" She muttered darkly as she walked.

Once back at the gate, she waited patiently for her dad to come fetch her. In three hours. She had no other choice. Until...

"Nella! Why are you still out there?" She jumped with surprise as she heard her dad's voice.

She almost ran to her dad with happiness. She was that happy she wasn't gonna get stuck with Buri.

"Can you give me your phone?" She asked, breathing hard.

Her dad shrugged and passed his phone to her.

"Hello?" Mrs.Kevin answered in a few seconds.

"Mrs.Kevin, where is the class? I've been trying to find__"

"Dear, there is no class today. Didn't I tell you all in class yesterday?" She could feel a smile in her voice as she gaped at the phone. No class?

"Uh... okay, thank you." She ended the call and groaned. All the running for this???

Sorry Nells, we just had to do this. xD Forgive us, kay?

There's a picture of Buri up there ^ . She looks cringe worthy .

Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY AILA! Oh and she's the school captain by the way. Let's see what Buri said about her.

TheFourErns: So, do you know the school captain this year? Aila Browning?

Buri: Captain? Like the boss?? The big biiig captain?

TheFourErns: The leader yes.

Buri: Ohhhh. I know captain! She be very close! Everyday, I see her right here *points at a bench near the gate* and she wave at me! The girl is so nice! She told me once, Buri, you have beautiful makeup. And she told me she wanted me to make her pretty too. She is a sweet child. I should give her one of my bracelet.

TheFourErns: ......... Uh, thank you Buri. We think you look pretty...interesting as well.

Buri: Oh my dears! HAHAAHA! Thank you dears! You children are nice too!

TheFourErns: Goodbye Buri.

Buri: Yes yes...wait... you said.... Brown? I no use brown.It makes my face all yucky and icky and... you know? I will give some tips next time, okay?
