Stopped

POV TWILIGHT

My last class of the day had finally arrived: Biology. I was never a big fan of the subject, I preferred exactly a thousand times, however, it was mandatory, there was no choice.

In the discipline of biology, the school worked with a system of pairs that were drawn on the first day of class. As soon as I entered the room, a figure of platinum hair beckons me frantically. Trixie Lulamoon was waiting for me at our usual table.

While her colleagues idolized Pop music idols, Trixie filled her room with posters of the famous illusionist Harry Houdini. She planned to become a successful illusionist and often tried to practice her tricks, not that they worked out most of the time.

- Am I arriving earlier than you? - I heard her say - There's something you don't see every day.

- I stopped in the bathroom - I justified - it's not like I was late.

- Of course not - she laughed - or else I would think that something very horrible had happened to you.

- I'm calm to know that I'm going to be looked for if I mysteriously disappear - I played together.

The teacher arrived in the room, clearly in a bad mood. There are people who like to teach, there are those who love, those who don't, but that teacher clearly hated teaching.

The work of the day basically consisted of analyzing some plant samples under the microscope and answering the questions in the book. Trixie and I were a great duo, I loved watching under the microscope and recognizing what I saw, meanwhile she wrote down what I told her and looked in the book for anything I had any doubts about. That job, however, required much more time and concentration, the kind of work that Trixie hated.

- I'd rather be in an art class a thousand times than that - he complained, leaving his face resting on his hand - come on Twilight, just tell me what's there and we'll finish.

- I can't see properly - I explained - this sheet that the teacher gave us is not the best to observe under a microscope.

- Well - she looked at me as if the solution was obvious - we just have to ask for another one.

- In case you haven't noticed, the teacher seems to be without an ounce of patience today - I whispered, so that the teacher wouldn't listen - so, either we talk to her and take a curse, or we turn around with what we have.

- Oh, okay - he sighed with boredom.

- Calm down Trixie - I tried to reassure her - in a little while we can do it, it's not like we can magically finish the work.

My words made Trixie's eyes widen. A mischievous smile appeared on his face.

- Trixie... - I worried - what are you thinking of doing?

- We do have how to "magically" finish the work - she started to look through her backpack - it must be around here...

I rolled my eyes and focused on work again, I didn't have time for Trixie's crazy ideas at that moment. I moved away from the lens again, massaging my temples. Trixie looked at me excited about her hat of illusionism.

- What are you doing with it? - I asked.

- Since our sheet is the worst of all - she took the sheet and shook it in front of me - I thought we'd get a new sheet.

- We hadn't already agreed that there was no way? - I remembered her.

- We have another option - she pointed to the top hat - I'm sure we'll find a sheet here in the middle, it has everything you can imagine!

- Trixie, I really don't think that...

- Contemplate the Great and Powerful Trixie - she moved her hand inside the top hat - let a leaf appear! Here it is!

- Wait Trixie - I spoke calmly, until I realized what she really had in her hands - Trixie! Wait!

Before I could avoid it, the smoke bomb hit the table. I heard several coughs and confused grumblings. Trixie and I coughed more than the others. As soon as the smoke disappeared, a figure was standing next to our table. The teacher was standing still, with her arms crossed and a more furious look than ever.

- Out of my class, you two! - Before I could defend myself, the teacher motioned for me to shut up - You two are in detention on Saturday tomorrow
