Gloomy Days

CHAPTER TWO ~ History Class

CHAPTER TWO

As me, Xander, and Charissa were walking into history class, we were still talking about this morning to Xander. He also said it happened to him at exactly 10:43. We couldn't believe that we all got the same phone call. We couldn't wait to get out of history class to shake down Lily for what happened. But we knew she wouldn't tell us,

When we walked in and sat down we noticed something interesting with Mr. Fitzgerald. It was one of those moments like someone is going to pop up out of no where and say "pranked you, you were so scared". The problem was it was scary all we saw was Mr. Fitzgerald writing "there coming" on the black board. All I could hear was the sound of chalk screeching against the chalk board and I could smell the dust in the air.

I sat in the middle row, two seats away from the window. Charissa sat right next to me, but Xander and Lily sat right beside Taylor Trent. Surprisingly Taylor wasn't in the classroom, she was probably going all around the school getting all of her presents.

"Did you remember to get Taylor her presents for today"? I asked Charissa in a slow whisper.

"Oh no I didn't, I totally forgot it was today"! She said back to me with a scared tone in her voice. "did you"? She said. "No! I forgot to", I said back to her, but right at that moment Taylor walked in the class. No gifts in her hands and she didn't have Lisa and Harriet carrying any either ( those are her two loyal friends since last week, she changes them if they do anything bad to her!" ) Me and Charissa both looked at Xander from across the room. He looked as surprised as we were.

Taylor went to sit right between him and Lily. Lily was still so calm and Taylor totally ignored us like she also forgot it was her birthday. Something was going on and Charissa and Xander knew it to.

The bell rang. "Ok class turn to page 217 in your books please, today we will be learning about the war of 1812, who can tell me what they know about this war?" Mr. Fitzgerald said as he snapped out of the weird state. He looked at the board but he freaked out at it "who did this, is this an idea of a prank"! He screamed at the top of his lungs. Xander rose his hand "umm... Mr. F" he said slowly "you wrote that on the board" Mr. Fitzgerald totally calmed down and said "oh ok, page 217?" the whole class looked shocked but did it anyway.

I looked across the room and I heard Xander talking to Taylor, I heard Taylor say "can I borrow a pencil I lost mine" in a tone that shouldn't existed on earth. It was the kind of tone you speak in when you want something but you sound like your being possessed.

It had almost hit 75 minutes of class time and the bell was about to ring. Xander, Charissa, and I were so jumpy, we had to talk to Lily. The bell rang and all 3 of us were the first out of our seats. We stopped and was trying to let Taylor by but in the nicest tone she said "don't worry you can go by, I will wait" it was by far the second most scariest thing I have seen today, right after the phone call from Lily.

We all ran up to Lily as we were all walking to our lockers. We kept on asking "Lily was happened, what was that phonecall this morning"?, but she never answered she kept on walking. She stopped in the middle of the hallway and shook like she was having a seesher but she wasn't, she got up and said "I'm fine let's go to lunch now guys I'm starving". The spooky thing was its not lunch time that's next she knows it English class now with Ms. Parker. We all thought it was nothing, maybe she forgot or something, so we kept going down the hall.

I got to my locker, all four of our lockers are in a row it went mine, Charissa's, Lily's, then Xander's locker. When we opened our lockers a note fell out of all of them. Mine said I, Charissa's said KNOW, Lily's said YOUR and Xander's said SECRET! "I KNOW YOUR SECRET"

We were all freaked out but then that's were Lily said in another voice not of her own "Lizzy they know your secret!" Lizzy was the nickname Lily gave me when we were six years old. Xander stared at me then Charissa joined in they both said "what secret"? Then all the lights went out.
