"There!" Sam pointed. I didn't really think about it and just jump to the sink with him.

It was silent for a while. Sam and I held our breaths as we hide right behind the bowl. We didn't even care anymore that those were dirty plates and there were - eww - left over foods.

But then suddenly, that demon cat's eye peeked at the sink. Panicking, I splash the cat with the water in the bowl. The water hit the cat in the face and it scurried off.

I sighed in relief. I think I just lost half of my lifespan. Besides me, Sam was panting as well. That was a long run we made.

And then I started laughing.

I might have really gone out of my mind. Just about an hour ago I was inside the classroom, sleepy and wishing for something exciting to happen. Now... now it felt soooo long ago.

Be careful what you wish for. Jeez.

Sam started laughing as well, out of relief, I'm sure.

But then he stopped abruptly. "Ish! James and Nadine!" He said, eyes wide.

I'm sure mine widen as well.

"Where are they??" I asked him.

He shook his head.

"We gotta find them!" I said. He nodded.

But just as I lift Sam up so we could climb out the sink, there was a noise. Footsteps and a woman's voice.

The cafeteria lady was here.

Sam and I hid behind the plates again.

The cafeteria lady placed more plates in the sink, just by us.

That was close!! Too close!! We were almost crushed by plates~! Jeez, what a way to die! Crushed by plates!!!

There were also left overs in the plates. The smell... ugh... the smell is really something.

And then I realized that there were peppermints.

I immediately covered my nose. Sneezing will do no good. I think our cafeteria lady will have a heart attack if she sees us.

Sam did the same. But after a while, removed his hands from his face.

"I think it's okay, Ish." He said. "The peppermint is too big for it to go to our noses."

Weird comment. But it was true.

We heard the cafeteria lady going on about. I think it's almost break time.

I turned to Sam. "We need to find Nadine and James." I told him.

"I know, Ish." He said. "But we need to wait. We can't risk it. Besides, I'm sure they're fine. The cat went for us and I'm sure they're together. James won't leave Nadine. You know that."

"I know..." I said, sighing. "But I'm still worried. And you know those two... If you leave them alone...." I trailed off.

He laughed. "Are you worried they might kill each other or are you worried they might do... weird things?"

I laughed as well. "Both. But honestly, I'm more worried in the latter." I told him. Really, the two was too obvious they might just go and marry already. Too bad they're as dense as they are obvious.

The cafeteria lady then stepped out the kitchen. We took our chance.

Sam climbed out fine and then he pulled me up.
