The Greek Chronicles

Memory Issues

LUNCH TIME CAME QUICKER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD. I mean, it felt like 5 minutes ago, I was talking to my friends. Maybe time was going fast because of me thinking about all the... distinguishing features of the teachers that I had up until now. Like for example, my Math teacher, Mr.Hamilton, had more hair on his upper body than the rest of the academic staff combined and his legs were more.... rounded? Im just going to say that they look like a horse's hooves I can't forget about Ms.Satyr either. Her brown hair has turned white and her straw hat looks more.... elevated than usual.

I was walking to the cafeteria and I bumped into Ms.Satyr.

"Hi Malcolm. I need you to stay in my classroom after I dismiss you same for Nirvada and Garth. When you see then can you tell that to them?" She asked.

"Sure. But why do we have to-"

"Okay thanks! Also, Mr.Hamilton also wants to talk to you. Bye!" She walked off before I could ask why we should see her. Oh no, does she know about that incident with me and Mr.Tree that happened this morning?! I bet I'm going to jail. (Okay... being a bit too paranoid).

I got to the lunch area without any problems and went to the table that my friends and I all sit at usually. What a surprise, the only person that was there was Nirvada (As usual, Garth is trying to get seconds, Thirds and fourths of his meal but ends up getting into a fight with the lunch lady, Ms.Miller).

"Hey Malcom! You know where Garth is. Don't even bother asking." She said, taking a sip of her homemade strawberry, banana, apple and skittles smoothie AKA Rainbow Barf Smoothie. (I know, sounds disgusting doesn't it. I'm not sure HOW she even drinks it without gagging. And the colours make me want to barf rainbows! Hence the name).

"WE'LL SETTLE THIS NEXT WEEK MILLER!!!" I heard Garth scream as he landed beside our table on the floor. We both looked at him and laughed. "Oh shut up you guys. You've seen this millions of times."

"And we'll never get tired of it either." I said. Nirvada nodded in agreement.

"So... anyways. Malcolm, what was it that you wanted to say to us?" She asked.

"To be honest... I forgot. But I do know that Mr. Hamilton and Ms.Satyr wants to speak to us, and we have to stay in our home room." I said.

"You forgot what you were going to ask us? But Malc, you NEVER forget about things, you still remember that time when I was 8, I tried jumping in a pit and saying that its bottomless!" Garth said.

"Everyone remembers that Garth." Nirvada said.

"Argh! That's not the point!" He shouted, quite irritated and embarassed. We all laughed.

"That aside, he does make a good point, you never forget things." Nirvada said. She had a point. I was their navigator everytime we got lost camping in the woods at summer time.

"Well, guess there's something wrong with me. I dont know what, I dont know how." I said with a shrug.I felt a sharp pain in my head suddenly and rubbed it, trying to get it to go away but it didn't. I hissed as it kept getting worse and worse.

"Malcom? Are you okay?" Nirvada asked. I tried to respond, but every word came out either jumbled or in greek.

"Malc, we cant understand you. Is there something wrong?" Garth said. Before I could say anything, all faded to black.
