Chapter Two

Zack's P.O.V.

After I was done writing, I looked back at Skye. She was reading a book and giggling. I looked down at the book cover. 'The History of America' was the title. That was peculiar. What was so funny about history? I walked back to Skye's desk. She looked up and slammed the book closed.

"Hey. You want to be my partner for this book report?" I asked.

"Alright," she said. She wasn't shy before, but her face was red now. It looked like she was scanning my eyes for something.

The class bell rang and we all turned in our work. I walked out into the hallway and caught up to Skye.

"What's so funny about America?" I asked.

"Um...I don't understand the question," she said pushing her glasses up.

"In class just now. You were reading a history textbook and laughing. So what's so funny?" I asked again.

"Oh that. There was just a funny line. Nothing to worry about," she replied. I nodded.

"What class do you have next?" she asked.

"I have Math. What about you?" I answered and asked.

"I have study hall," she replied.

"Ok. Well, I'll see you in Gym then," I said and she waved as she walked into the library.

I watched as she walked into the very back corner of the library. I thought it was strange that she already had a book, but was checking out another one. I walked to class and sat down. The teacher walked in and took roll. She collected the homework and then went to her desk and grabbed some worksheets. She passed them out when no one volunteered to do it.

"Your task is to complete the worksheet. This is practice for the test when you get back, so try your best and whatever you don't finish becomes homework along with this packet of practice questions," she explained. Then she walked back to her desk.

I started to work on the assignment when someone asked the teacher if they could go to the library to get a book. She gave him a pass and then he left. That got me thinking about Skye. Then I realized that she went and sat down with no book. That wouldn't get off my mind.

"Mrs.Fox, may I get a bathroom pass please?" I asked.

"Sure," she said as she tossed it to me. She didn't seem as nice as last time I was in her class. She started treating me like a delinquent now, great. I said thanks and walked out. I hated saying 'may I,' but that was the only way she let me have a pass. None were specific, they were all just hall passes, which when you think about it, was kind of promoting delinquents to skip class.

I turned the corners and wondered why the library was so far away. I finally got there and walked into the library's nice decorative door. I didn't see Skye anywhere. I scanned the whole library. No where. As I was about to give up, I saw her in the corner, her face one million shades of red and she was giggling. I looked down at what was in her hands, but it was just a book. The book was called 'Life in the 1850's'. She was smiling and then rolled her eyes again. What was going on?

If I remembered correctly, in that book, people told the story of slaves and the terrible conditions they lived in. There was nothing funny in that book. I furrowed my eyebrows and walked closer. I treaded lightly, but she heard me anyway. She looked up with a speed incredibly too fast, but I was lucky enough to duck behind a bookshelf before she saw me. I barely managed to stay hidden behind the sea animal books. I peeked back over my shoulder to where she was sitting, but she was gone. I half expected her to be behind me, but she wasn't.

What was with this girl? Something was going on here, and I needed to figure it out. I made sure she was looking away, and then I dashed back to class. That was close. I haven't seen someone with that keen of senses since way back long ago when I was in the club.
