Love beyond time (book one)

Chapter 8

Leasley looked at me terrified.

"Oh no...."

It was safe to say, I was equally scared with her, if not even more. The last thing I wanted was to dissapear in front of my whole classmates. So I got up and ran to the door holding my stomach.

"I think I'm gonna throw up." I told Mr. Wittman so I could get out, and ran out of the cassroom.

"Someone should go with her." I heard Mr. Wittman say. "Leasley, could you go help her, please?"

Leasley ran behind me and banged the door shut. "Okay, quick, in the restrooms! No one will see us there. Gwen? Gwennie?"

Leasley's face faded and her voice sounded more and more distand, untill it disappeared completely. I was standing alone at the school's hall. Or something that looked like my school's hall. My first thought was 'Great I didn't fall.' The second 'Where do I hide so no one will see me?'

Because in this house, I wasn't alone. From downstairs I could hear music, from violins. And voices.

Many voices actually.

I tried to remember where each classroom was in my time. Behind me was my classroom, so across the hall was Mrs. Counter (a/n I was out of names, don't judge :P) teaching Geography. Next to it was a storage full of desks. Maybe I could hide there so no one would see me appearing.

But in my time this room is locked most of the times so maybe it wouldn't be the wiser thing to do, since I'd have to find an explanation of how I managed to get in there when I get back.

But if I go to any other room, I would suddenly appear in front of students and some poor proffessor. I belive it would be more difficult to explain this...

Maybe it's best to just stay here, hoping it won't take too long. At the previous travels it had only lasted for some minutes anyway.

I rested my back on the wall and listened to the music playing. I imagined that maybe James was somewhere downstairs, dancing all happy and alive.

It was a shame I couldn't meet him. But I don't think he would be pleased at all to hear I am from the future and we know each other, cause in my time he is dead and he haunts our school.

If I only knew when he had died... I could have warned him. 'Hey James, in July 15th you will get hit by a car in the main street, so stay in that day.' But James didn't know the cause of his death. Damn, he didn't even know he is dead...

I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Someone was running here. No, they were two people running up the stairs. Damn! Couldn't someone stand somewhere for 5 minutes without getting disturbed? and now what? I quickly went in the classroom on my right, Mrs. Counter's.

When I managed to get in the footsteps were coming closer. In here the only lighting were some canndles.

I looked around, searching for a place to hide, but the room had barely any furniture. There was a small couch , a desk and a chair, none of these good enough for someone to hide, unless he is in the size of a mouse. So I standed behing one of the large curtains which reached the floor. Not the best hiding place, but it's not like someone is looking for me.

I heard voices just outside the room.

"Where are you going?" said a male voice. He sounded irritated.

"I don't know! and I don't care either! I just want to be away from you." said the other voice. It was the voice of a girl. She was crying too. I realized they were now in the room I was, I could see their shadows from the curtain.
