I enter the classroom just as the bell rings. I feel Sheq's big brown eyes on me. Holding me. Weighing me down. I know the question she will ask me when Mrs. Fret finishes her long lecture. Where is it?
After sheq and mads left on the gloomy Saturday Before, I quickly brought rossir's old cage ( that was now housing the mysterious creature) down to the river and unlatched the door to the cage. I was going to wait to grab the cage until after school.
In 5th period directly after the long and laborious lunch, (when sheq and mads were giving me the silent treatment because they said I should have consulted them about letting the wild animal go) I started to feel pangs of pain in my chest. Quentin turns around to look at me, I give a weak smile in return. "Are you okay?" Quin says quickly. I nod.
God I like him.
He stands up out of his and grabs my arm. Sheq glares at me, she too has a crush on Quin. I follow him as he grabs the hall pass, and exits the room. We are walking towards the nurse, but the hallway is getting smaller and darker, Quin disappears and I am alone in an empty hallway with vines growing on the sides. I scream, "Quin, Sheq!"
I wake up on the floor of a hallway, Quin is shaking me, I feel a stream of tears falling down my thin face. Quin sits down next to me and puts one arm around me, "what's wrong" he demands. "Tell me"
I shake my head. " I don't know" I lie.
He knows I know. I really don't want to lie to him, but I cannot bring myself to to say the truth,
I am dying, my soul is being taken away.
He helps me up. " well Hopefully you can at least explain it to the nurse".
