The Dragon Ring

Chapter 6: Morning Classes

I always have a song in my head. I had one annoying one in my head at the end of class, but only the first two lines. I was humming it and the kid next to me looked super annoyed.

"Can you stop?" He said.

"Yeah." I felt like annoying people, especially him, right now, so I started singing it very quiet.

"Can you shut up?"

"No I'm afraid that the song in my head needs to escape my mind and I can only do that by singing or humming, and you said to stop humming nicelyish, but since you said that mean I might have to sing louder." I started singing a little louder. Then the kid behind me was staring at me.

"Did you say no to Jim?" He said.

"Yes I did."

"Are you insane? He's going to get you."

"Well, I just said no to Jim, I might be a little insane, I know he's not going to get me, because all bullies listen to popular kids."

"Your not popular."

"Nope not at all, but Jack is." I could feel Jim starting to sweat, no one ever messed with Jack since the first time he rejected Kelcea. The the kid behind me lost interest. I started singing again. I could tell Jim was getting upset that one I was singing and two he couldn't do a single thing about it.

Then the teacher dismissed us. I finally got to see Jack again.

I love my Language and Literature teacher. Her name is Mrs. Stevenson. She gives us candy when she messes up on instructions.

Just like on the bus Jack saves me a seat. I walked in. Kelcea was there, probably telling Jack everything, she wasn't sitting down, and her stuff wasn't there, he still saved me a seat. I saw him point at me, then he waved me over. I went right past Kelcea and sat down. Jack turned me toward him.

"Did you say I didn't want to date her?"

"Yeah." He started laughing. Kelcea looked surprised.

"I thought she was lying! I would never guess you of all people would do that," I started laughing too. Kelcea was even more surprised," I would never date her," he looked her in the eye,"Understand?" Kelcea walked away. Jack turned toward me.

"I will never choose her. All of the things she said that I said about you, I did say them, not to make her back off, but because they were true." His blue eyes had the hopeful look on them. I blushed. Does Jack like me? He's been my crush since fifth grade.

At the beginning of class we read, I had 10 more pages.

She had finally rode the dragon. The height was exhilarating. The dragon didn't know she was on the dragon, until she kicked his wing. He started shaking her off. She fell, knowing that she was going to die. She was falling backward luckily, so she wouldn't have to see her fate. Then she hit a tree, getting scratches every second. She finally hit the ground, unconsciousness coming over her. She barely heard the horse footsteps coming toward her.

She woke up in the hospital. Her mom and dad next to her bed, knowing how bad she was bleeding, but couldn't change the outcome.

"Mom? Dad?" She said.

"Honey she's awake." she heard her dad say.

"Let's say goodbye." Her mom said.

"We love you Jill." They said in unison.

"I love you too." She replied, then drifted to sleep never to wake up again.

I started crying. I couldn't help it. Jack looked up from his book to look at me.

"What's wrong?" He said.

"They killed Jill. The main character." I started crying more.

"Oh that sucks, and you just spoiled the ending for me. Two birds with one stone." That made me laugh.

"Thanks. I needed something to cheer me up.

"One more thing." Then he gave me a hug. It was a sincere sweet hug.

"Thanks for that too." Then Mrs. Stevenson stood up.

"Okay class, time to stop reading and do our reflection." We all put our books away and got our warm up paper now. This what my reflection said,

THIS STUPID AUTHOR KILLED OFF THE MAIN CHARACTER!!!!!!!! I AM NEVER READING ONE OF HER BOOKS AGAIN!!!!!!! I AM WRITING A TERRIBLE REVIEW ON HER WEBSITE!!!!!!!!!

It was completely true. Then we did some grammar notes and read Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of Baskervilles. Then our teacher dismissed us to our next class. I had french.

I don't like taking notes either. My teacher gave us a thirty minute lecture about colors. Then we finally got to lunch.
