The Spirits World

Chapter #6

I wake up like normal and scramble to get out the door. This time I don't care if I'm late, I'm getting my shoes on.

When I do, I run all the way to school. Of course, I'm late.

When I get there I take my normal seat in the front. I didn't look up when I walked in. I know everyone knew about Roger hitting me, but I still didn't want to be stared at.

The whole class the voices were loud, so the class took forever.

How long are the classes anyways?

After that horrible English class, I head to Science alone. I didn't want to talk to anybody today. Even though that wasn't the best of ideas.

I walk inside the class and Chris was the only one in there. No Mr. Edwin, only the two of us.

"Hey." Chris greets in his soft tone. "Where's your friend Clover?"

I shrug. I didn't know. "I don't know. I just wanted to be alone." I admit.

"Oh. How come?" He asks.

I shrug again. I didn't really know, all I knew is that I didn't want to talk.

He waves me off. "It's okay. Some days you just don't want people around."

I nod, agreeing. This was so true. Other then Clover, I didn't want other people around, which is all the time.

I realize I'm still standing and walk over to my normal seat at the bench.

"Hey. I don't have a partner for the pig dissecting so can I join your group?" Chris asks, turning around to face me as I sit.

I stop to think for second. "I saw you working with someone yesterday." I say.

He chuckles. "Yeah, I was wondering if you were paying attention." He said, looking slightly disappointed.

Yesterday it did look like he wasn't happy with his partner. I wonder why?

"Why do you want to change partners?" I ask.

"What? Who said I did?" He chuckles awkwardly.

I look at him with a weird look, I think. "You did?"

He shakes his head. "No I didn't. I was testing you. I said that."

I raise an eyebrow at him. "Okay then." That was weird.

Then the class door opens and Edwin walks in with his crazy t-shirt and students behind him.

Chris turns around and some girls wave at him or wink or giggle. Chris waved or gave a smile, and for some reason I feel a ping in my chest. I don't know why. I thought he was going to be different. I don't understand that. I'll have to ask Clover some things.

Clove walks in and kind of looks hurt, or mad. She walks over to me and sits beside me.

"Where were you? You were ignoring me today. Why?" She asks a little mad.

"I'm sorry Clove. I just wanted to be alone today." I say, looking down.

"Oh Luna. Don't be upset. I was just worried." She said, rubbing my back.

"I know...." I say, and look up at her with a weary smile.

Then the rest of the class and the teacher walk in and class starts.

My head hurts. I hate the voices. Especially during science. I hold my head with my hands, and some time later I feel someone shaking me. I gasp and straighten up quickly. Clover was speaking and Chris was standing beside her worried.
