If animals could talk

A bird

It was lunch time at Sun valley high school and I was dying to get my hands on a tasty McChicken with fries but my best friend Amanda Halls is taking sooo long in her American sign language class by the time she finishes talking to Mr.Simmins lunch will be over! Thankfully she was only in there for a quarter of lunch and we still have time for my McChicken!

"Hey, Amanda?" I ask as we head out to my 2001 blue VW Cabrio convertible.

"Hmm?" She hums in reply as she quickly responds to some texts.

"Why do you always spend so much time in ASL?(American Sign Language) It's only the second week of school back from summer, you can't have that much work in classes yet" I say to her as I start the car.

"I don't..." She answered nonchalantly.

"Then why do you spend so much time with Mr.Simmins?"

"He's dreamy isn't he" she sighs in reply

"Not this again" I mumble hoping she doesn't hear. But not everyone is that lucky.

"*gasp* How could you! Mr.McGomery wasn't even a serious crush! I swear Mr.Simmins is the real deal. A real crush!"

"Amanda we really need to find you a guy your age," I say as I pull up to the McDonald's drive-thru not having enough time to sit down and enjoy my meal.

I pull up to the window pay, grab my beloved McChicken, say thank you and head out.

"God, why are you so obsessed with those disgusting things anyways?", Amanda says in disgust as I bite a chunk out of my meal.

"Amanda, this is pure heaven and if you can't accept that I love this more than life then *sniffle* I don't know if we can be friends anymore."

"Alright alright, drama queen go ahead and drown in chicken grease, but could you at least drive a little faster we're going to miss fifth period."

"As you wish."

roughly fifteen minutes later I'm parked and heading towards the quart yard when I hear someone call my name.

"Mandy" it was like a whisper, I look around but the only ones within hearing distance is Amanda some bird and myself.

"Did you hear that?" I ask Amanda.

"uuuh no?"

"Mandy," the voice said a bit louder.

"Did you hear it that time?"

"Mandy are you okay?

"Yeah, I'm fine.." I say as we walk to sit under a big oak tree

"Mandy" louder this time as if the person was right next to me

"You seriously don't hear it?" I ask again practically begging for some sign that I'm not just hearing things as I sit down

"Mandy all I hear is some stupid bird chirping, it's right above you too"

I look up and right above me is a Great Barbet.

"Amanda that's a Great Barbet!"

"A what?"

"A Great Barbet! they aren't native anywhere even close to New Hampshire."

"Mandy," the voice says one more time but this time I see it. I see the word come straight from the beak of the bird. by now I know I've gone insane "Mandy, listen to me" I try to block out the voice "Mandy please I can't stay for long, we need help, Damian needs your help" who the heck is Damian? another bird? "Damian is like you, he can hear too but they have him and they are going to start the tests, you're our only hope, but you'll need help, find Taylor Davis, trust Taylor." And with that, the bird flew away.
