Disney's Wondrous Secrets

Disbelief

He had to start acting like a real mouse right now...? Just to keep him safe, she had to box him. This time in a different box with no holes. It hurt to hear him scratch and scurry around inside.

Sarah had somewhat of an idea, that involved the idea of taking Kate to Downtown Disney. She had to tell someone of this and she was basically all alone with him acting all jumpy. But she doubted. What would Kate say? Of course, even she wouldn't believe something as far fetched this. Mice that can type. Sure.

My my my... what is happening? Where am I? Wh-what, what happened??

He was able to eat, much to Sarah's relief. Yet taking him to school was going to be a problem. Perhaps she could pretend to be absent today...but even that can cause problems. Also, this mouse could be left alone after what she learned.

There was a way to get things done without causing a scene. She snuck in things before.... It was worth a shot.

Sarah rode her bike, trying so hard to keep her panic low. Safety she had the box with her as she rode. Not being taken by car today, she was a little late. Just as the bell rang, she settled down by her locker and proceeded to get the smaller box snug into her backpack. Again, she heard him start to scratch.

"Ssh!! Stop... I can get in trouble!" she hushed into her bag.

Much to her dismay, as she was zipping her bag, there came a hall monitor.

"Hey, why are you tardy?" the boy asked, cocky.

"...sorry... um, I am going to homeroom right now!" she said, smiling hopefully at him.

She lifted her backpack over her shoulder, but not too roughly. She had to act casual.

"Sorry! Sorry... I-I'm going now." she reassured and almost started to run.

Sarah was able to get out of that, even if the guy followed for a minute or two. She was able to get to class.

The classroom had two doors; one for coming in and the other for coming out across the room. There was a wall of shelves and books behind the teacher's desk. The room was wide enough and since there were no individual desks, there were only six round tables, each with one computer for the students.

At the far table ahead of her, by the window, she spotted her friend, Kate. She gave Sarah a smile as she sat next to her, being careful with her bag.

"Hey!"

"Hi!" Sarah responded in a lowered voice.

It was good to see Kate, even though she had problems these days. Yet Kate caught onto how strange her friend was acting.

"...you okay? You look awful..."

"I didn't sleep well..." Sarah honestly answered. "...we ... okay... I have something to tell you but... I can't here. Meet me at the... behind the library. At recess."

"...okay...?" Kate rose a brow at her friend.

Sarah worried when her bag shifted under the table.

"What's wrong?" Kate asked.

"Just... ssh."

School was going to be torture and just as she expected, it seemed to go one forever. Her little friend though, she had to keep him in check. Each time, it seemed to her that she was smuggling an ordinary mouse. He was restless, scratching and trying to escape each time she opened the box to feed him. It was making her worry more! Her anxious eyes studied him as he ate what was a saltless sunflower seed. Biting her lip, she thought that Kate was never going to believe her. Who would, actually?
