Count on Me

Chapter 26

I trudged throug the noisy school halls,  dunk with fatigue,  because of sleep deprevation.  I didn't get to sleep at all this entire weekend.  My mind was constantly busy trying to come up with some sort of solution, to the new threat that Scorpion posed.  I swear it was like a tornado rushed through my brain,  scrambling up everything and the minni me's in my brain were running around screaming hystericlly,  and pulling their hair our,  in their process to gain order in my messed up brain.  Yeh not a nice feeling to have. 

I know I'm used to stressful situations and thinking on my feet,  but I don't know whats wrong with me,  I just can't seem to think at all.  It felt like my brain was going into overload,  and would burn out at any minute.

As I walked through the halls,  I even had trouble keeping my head up,  it felt like my head weighed a ton.  So I walked,  my eyes fixed on the floor,  and even though it must have been extremely fithy,  with all the dirt carried around by everyone's shoes,  it looked realy comfortable.  And if I were alone,  I would definatly consider sleeping on it. But then again as soon as I rest my head every gear in my head starts spinning,  trying to come up with a plan. 

I walked throug the doors,  into the cold winter air.  I breathed in deeply,  letting the cold air refresh me.  Alot of people came filing out of the doors,  to enjoy their break outside,  but still most of the learners were inside in the cafeteria,  enjoying te warmth. 

I went around the corner, and rested my head against the brick wall.  My eyes closed as they faced the bright grey sky. 

The cold air bit at my skin and I felt something cold and light gently touch my nose.  I opened my eyes and saw tiny, white,  fluffy snow flakes flutter down fom the heavens. 

Everyone came rushing out of the building,  chattering excitedly,  about the white miracle. 

"Snow in Cali ?  That only happens like once in forever. ..." I heard a couple of girls shriek as they hurried past me.

I enjoyed the freezing,  flakes kissing my skin.  My mind went blank as the only thing I was consentrating on was sthe tiny dancing snowflakes.

Hey Row,  are you seeing this?  a voice asked in my head,  interupting my state of relaxation and I knew who it was, Calan.

I let out a sigh and replied,  Yes Cal I see it and I'm used to it,  I come from London remember,  It snows like half of the year there.

Oh yeah,  anyway where are you,  I need to talk to you, his voice rang in my mind.

Wouldn't you rather talk with Yuki?, And I thought this wasn't safe,  what if she notices.? I asked.

Boy,  stuborn as always, no worries,  I'll find you.  And then there was nothing.

Calan,  Cal!  I tought,  but there was no answere,  he blocked his mind.  Damnit!

l resumed  enjoying the snow,  waching as all the other people,  laughed and shrieked,  as they played in the snow, forming and throwing snowballs, rolling in the snow,  making snow angels,  or just running around wit mouthes open trying to catch the snowflakes on their tongues.

If people didn't see this with their own,  eyes,  l bet they would never have believed that teenagers,  would enjoy playing in the snow so much. 

l turned to walk away  and collided with something hard.  I let out a muffled shriek as I tumbled to the ground,  not again, l thought  and before I hit the ground,  a hand cought mine,  pulling me back to my feet.
