"Hon we're making some wreath how about you come and help?"

" Okay sure mom" I walked over to the table,glitter everywhere. "So what theme?"

" Black and white! "

"Cool"I start to intertwine the black wires together"so a black and white party huh?"

" How did you know? "She said sarcastically

" I have a great power, so what was that question you were asking me in the car? "

"Who was that boy you were talking to?"

" Micah. " I say flatly and rejected the conversation she wanted to start.

"Well I hope you were nice and didn't use your brothers awful flirting advice" she nudged me in the side

"Mom!" I started to leave.

"No you can't leave me I neeeeeed you."

" Ask Eddy to help you! "

"But he's awful at arts and crafts and all I need is one more!"

"Then you do it"I snapped

" I can't I am already doing this one"

"Fine"

The next day I went back to detention for talking back even though I was just asking a question and I wasn't surprised to see Micah there.

"Hey!" he waved "Hows it going?"

"Umm not well considering I am here."

"Hey not fair I'm here!"

" True true, what's that? " I pointed to a book on his hand I had never seen before.

" I don't know,  I found it, I thought you might like it" he handed it to me it had a bunch of weird symbols on it.

"What's that sh*t all over it?" He asked

" I don't know, let's open it" I opened it to the first page it looked like an island, I put my hand on it my hand sunk through the pages like water, I pulled my hand back.

" Woah do that again" Micah grabbed my hand, I pushed my arm through the pages and it sucked us in.

  

I woke up light blinded me I felt sand underneath my body.

" Ethel! Ethel! Are you okay"

" Where are we?" I looked around an ocean in front of me and the rest a jungle scene.

" I don't know, I don't care, it's not important right, now Ethel are you okay?"

" Yes I am fine how about you?"

" I am fine come on let's figure out how to get out of here"

" Okay ummm build a raft?"

" I don't think so"

" Well let's look around for resources make a fort, fire"

" wait hold my hand"

" Okay?" I grabbed his hand

" Now jump on the count of 3.  One"

" Two" I griped his hand tight

" Three JUMP!" I jumped as hard as I could. I felt a sensation of heat then cold and we landed in the library "Woah let's do that again" said Micah

"NO! I gotta get home." I started to walk forward then I fell but Micah caught me

" Here just sit here untill your mom gets here, okay? "

"Okay" my voice was groggy he pulled up a chair next to me and I fell asleep with my head leaning on his shoulder.
