A Day Alone

Chapter 7

Luckily, i have a backpack that will come in great handy. Nathan and Reuben gave me a lot of helpful stuff, but right now. I only need to talk to somebody to figure out what to do. Nathan of course i would prefer, but i just need somebody. 

"Uh" i groan in my head,"Why can't i find the ear piece? Oh, i know where it is, in my pocket." So i quickly grab it out of my pocket, and say Nathan, i need help.

"You have been gone for less than 15 minutes. What did you do now?"

"Well, what if i told you that there is a person acting like my mom in my basement? Would you help me?"

"I would say, take the secret passageway in your room here. Why, is this really happening?"

"Duh, why would i ask you such a weird question."

"Why would i know? I don't know how even you girls know how to understand your mind. Back to what matters though, push your bed back and there should be a little white star/dot looking thing. Did you find it?"

"Yes, what do i do now?"

" You need to push it and then a little pole/stick thinking thing should come out. Pull it twice and then push it in."

"Done, yikes, that scared me."

"I am on my way, oh ya, why are there two passageways?"

"Take the one one the left."

"Okay, i would have chosen the one on the right, but againok. Does the door close by itself?"

"Yes, it does and then it automatically. locks as well. I see you coming."

A sudden fear rang through my body, and it all was sent from something that had grabbed my leg. I tried to remember what they had told me to say for a code word for, i need help. Oh, ya, it was inks my least favorite color.So, i try to say it without out a hint of fear in my voice.

"Ah, this is random, but pink is my least favorite color. I hate wearing pink socks."

"I am waiting for you once you get out i will get them."

"I know, you always agree with me."

                I was still trying to keep my cool as I climbed out, and I kept walking so that she didn’t get suspicious.

I heard a loud smack, and turned around. Nathan was out cold, not the way I wanted this to go.

“Who are you, and what do you want?” I asked trying to stay calm.

“I am none of your business,” and with that she attacked me.

In mid-air I punched her stomach, and kicked her head as she fell.

“Emily, what’s going on?

“Rueben, this person was at my house, pretending to be my mom. She followed me here, and knocked out Rueben.

All Rueben did is stare at me like I’m crazy, “What?” I ask.

“That’s your principal, Emily.” he said as he came over and pulled of the mask and of course, right there is my principal. 

 I can not even begin how betrayed i feel, my own principal. It was his van, but painted white.

"Who were the two teachers i attacked?"

"They weren't teachers."
