The Technopathic Project: Part 2

Chapter Three: Kidnapped

Homeroom C201 was a large bunch. Mr. Andell, the English teacher and freshman advisor, normally dealt with this kind of stuff. He always had a gigantic amount of kids due to the fact that not everyone is interested in advanced classes. Though students get a choice of their classes, the teachers have to put up with the amount. There is a certain limit to the size, however it still allowed enough kids to drive the instructors mad. That and it depended on the students themselves. How they cooperate in a classroom setting will determine how the year will go and what the teacher has to do to make sure that it's not too problematic for him or herself.

"Alright, packet pg. 42, get em out." Andell ordered.

The students did just that. The teacher stood in front of the room, with the students waiting for further instruction.

"You need all this for your upcoming test-"

A groan from the class made him pause.

"Aww, you'll live. Besides, it won't kill you to use your brain. That's the main reason your alive." Andell stated.

"If it is brain power, then I don't know how Spyder is still here." Christi Gibbson joked.

The class chuckled.

"I guess that goes for both of us." Spyder shot back.

Christi sucked her teeth as the class snickered.

"Hey, how about we see if we can turn your brains on and work on this packet. It's not due til the end of next month, but you should jump ahead. Lots to cover here, so get going on that." Andell told them.

He went over to his desk to make a phone call. The entire class began to work on their assignment. Well, almost everyone did the work. The pilot was busy having another task at hand. The list began with a person named Daniel Hoover. He was on the kickboxing team alongside Paige. Lucky for the technopath, Daniel happened to be in his first period class. The two have crossed paths and even had conversations here and there. They didn't know each other all that well. And since this whole plan was underway, the fifteen year old had to regardlessly talk to him to get what he needed.

"Psst! Danny!" Ryan whispered.

Another person glanced back at him. He gestured the kickboxer to look up. The fighter did so and became curious.

"Come here." Ryan told him.

Daniel took a quick peek at Mr. Andell. He was still making calls, so he had time. Daniel switched seats with the kid across from him to be closer to the adopted child. He leaned over.

"What?" Daniel asked in a hushed whisper.

"You know who Ryley is?" Ryan questioned in return.

"Dude, I know a million Ryleys. Gotta be more specific." Daniel replied.

"I meant Ryley Dennis." Ryan clarified.

Daniel nodded.

"Yeah, she's cool. Why?" He posed.

"Well, she needs help with something. It's a benefit thing she's doing. All she needs is some parts. Think you could help me out?" Ryan inquired.

"Depends. What does she need?" Daniel quizzed.

Their conversation was quiet, however the pilot failed to see that his friend was sitting only a few desks away. He was working the packet for a bit. Eventually, he stopped since the assignment had done a poor job on interesting him. His eyes wondered, which led them to land on his buddy. Harris was saying something about Ryan acting strangely. Spyder decided to take a listen and find out what's going on.
