The Little Night Light

Chapter 9

My study hall consisted of letting my mind run till its consent. 

Why were there wolves? Where did they come from? We haven't had wolves in our area for years. How did they smell me? Or what did they smell. I took a shower this morning. Where they out for blood. I heard a long time ago that wolves aren't like that. They don't kill for sport. But why were they chasing me? Were they hungry? Did they want to mess with me? Cause it sure is messing me up. I hated when I thought like this but I guess I was asking for it. Other than the fact that they were all white, I wondered if they traveled here or if they repopulated in that small forest. The second choice seemed so irrational I didn't even bother to think about it. They probably did come here from another forest in search for food. In that case they were trying to eat me and all. But the way they stopped at the exit of the path-

"Cybele!" My head shot up from the desk and I looked at the teacher in great alarm.

"Yes, yes I am here."

"No Cybele, I know you're here, but I still don't know why I didn't get your pink emergency slip back yet."

"Oh," I said with a massive red blush crossing my face as everyone watched me viciously, "I will be sure to bring it back soon ma'am. No worries," I tried giving her a small smile, but all I got back was a disturbing scowl. I sighed and looked back down at my desk using the rest of my time in study hall trying to figure out the mystery of the wolves in the forest.

I slowly walked into my third period class room and I had a feeling I knew what was going to happen.

"Cybele, what a surprise. Been hiding in the bathroom for a couple days I see. Why, I ws just about to go and get you-"

"Yes, I know you were Mr. Petersack. But I'm here now and ready to learn about what ever it is that were learning."

"And you  know your-"

"Missing assignments don't count cause I skipped class."

"But why-"

"And I'll just do this and I'll be on my merry way to my seat," I then pulled my desk back next to his and saw that he didn't really seem to mind.

"Were you skipping because of-"

"Yes Mr. Petersack, he was exactly the reason why I was skipping. Now I'm gonna sit down and shut up so I can learn," Yup, I was definitely in a mood right now and not a good one. I just hope this one doesn't get me in to any trouble.

Just as he was about to say more, the bell rang and echoed throughout the room. He scowled and whispered in my ear, "Cybele, I swear, I will find a way to make your life a living hell. You never skip my class again, or your sorry ass will be suspended and I think everyone would be happy to hear that. One way or another, karma'll come and bite you in the ass," he then stood up and greeted the class so we could start the movie I predicted we were going to watch, except for this time it would be different.

He hit play and the movie started at the beginning, I guess that was the only thing that was different. Like I predicted, a small piece of paper was passed to me. I looked over at Mr. Petersack and as predicted, he was passed out in his chair. I scoffed and took the note and kept it. I was pretty sure what it said on the inside. I pretended not to notice it when Connor looked back at me. He looked confused and unsure. Once he turned back around I looked over at him. By the looks of it he was trying to send back another note. When I got the next note, I simply ripped out a piece of paper from my spiral note book and wrote two big letters: N and O. I was wondering how long it was going to take for him to leave me alone.
