A Tale No one predicted

Chapter 4

                                                                               **4th period**
"Uuuuuug" I groaned when I met up with Joy at her locker "Why did my first three periods have to be in the same classroom"

I had already switched my books into my locker but I was just waiting for Joy to finish switching hers.

"At least you didn't have to run across the entire school!" Joy exclaimed, exhaustedly.

"Ugg. When's your lunch today?" I asked Joy

"Fifth period." Joy said checking her schedule.

"Me too," I said, smiling.

The bell rang suddenly and we both hurriedly said bye and ran to our classes. I slowed as I got near my classroom door. I opened it and sighed when the teacher wasn't there. I walked over to the only open seat and plopped down. I looked down at the phone and frowned at the fact that my mom had called me. I heard someone walk in and a quiet voice talking. I looked up and saw a teacher and Milo talking. Suddenly Milo used sign language and told the teacher that she was going to his seat, and then he walked towards me and sat in the seat beside me. My face flamed up when I felt his arm brush mine. I looked away and glared at my feet. Then I heard three large raps on the board. The classroom fell silent and we all looked at the board. The teacher had written

"Welcome to 9th grade Science.My name is Merrieweather, and i am deaf. I am not able to talk very loud and I can not hear when everyone is talking. My hearing aids unfortunately do not help me in public because my hearing is too damaged. But I will be able to help you individually, and if I need someone after class I have special earphones that help you hear me. I hope that some of you know how to use sign language, but if not then that's ok. We will start the lesson now."

I was surprised but happy that they let her teach. Merrieweather handed out pamphlets and covered trays. Milo reached over, when Merrieweather gave us our stuff, and grabbed the tray. I read the pamphlet, figuring out we were supposed to dissect a glowfrog. The requirements were a heart, a liver, and the lungs. I frowned a little knowing I would already fail at gently getting the lungs out. They were so delicate and it was hard to keep them intact. I heard Milo sigh next to me and when I turned to look at him his expression was disgust.

"Aww is the emo teen afraid to get dirty." I teased

Milo glared at me and stuck out his tongue. I smirked and stuck out my tongue before quickly turning towards the tray to hide my pinking cheeks. I took a deep breath and grabbed the tiny knife thing to cut into the frog. I got a feeling that someone was watching me but I shook it off and moved to cut open the glowfrog. I struggled for a bit before I huffed. I felt Milo lean over and his hand reached over and grabbed my hand. My face heated up as I turned to glare at him. HE HAS THE NERVE TO SMIRK AT ME AND GRAB THE KNIFE THINGY!!

"Now it's mine" He grinned as his black eyes glinted with an expression couldn't recognize. He bent over the tray and cut through the skin of the frog with surprising grace. And then i realized how close he was to me, and when he sat up he realized too.

" Ever heard of personal space." I mumbled as we both turned bright red. I hated the fact that Milo was actually kinda cute, and I hated that I blushed around him. Milo scooted away and placed the.... scalpel next to the other tools. I grabbed the tweezers and started poking through the frogs' insides as my face cooled down. I eventually got a very tiny liver and a heart, before Milo leaned over again. I looked down at him, trying my best not to let my face heat up, and keep my eyes at a glare. I held the tweezers in front of Milo's face until he took them and started poking through the frogs' chest cavity. He eventually took the platter and scooted it over so he wasn't in front of me. I sighed and laid my head down as it started spinning and my head started hurting. I sat there for a minute as my head and my thoughts spun me around and around and around in a large, quiet, and quiet painful darkness. I heard someone clear their throat and I snapped back to reality.
