Classmates Days

Chapter 40: Hiba, Time to Start

            I worked hard for my grades and I don't want the Dreamers and Nina to ruin my chances at the spelling bee. Ok, granted they never participated, but ever since they have been together as friends, they have been more attacks than normal! I've been working on the spelling bee for a few months and I don't want to lose because of them.

"Please spell the word vociferous" Whitney said as she looked at the note cards I gave her.

I carefully imagined the word in my head while my hands were fidgeting a bit. Once I correctly spelled the word, Whitney moved on to the next card. I was spelling of the words correctly. Thank goodness.

"You know all the words. I believed you are ready for this" Whitney reassured me.

I wasn't so sure. I wanted to make sure I knew these words. I was pacing around the Commons while Whitney waved her wand upward. She made the colors of the Commons change as I took a step.

"Whitney! Stop!" I said with an annoyed expression on my face.

I was laughing a bit while Whitney gave me a smile.

"There! You're laughing! Now, just relax" she said to me with a smile.

I was really lucky to have a friend like her. Whitney is very smart, but she is also able to help me relax when I need to. I don't know what I would do without her. She waved her wand downward and stopped the Commons from changing colors.

"Now, let's get something to eat! I am starving!" she said as we walked to Mrs. Crupi's room.

Mrs. Crupi had a bunch of cookies and treats in her room, so we would often snack in here. She was very nice and let us eat in her room. Whitney went to the stack of treats to retrieve a basket of cookies while I sat in a chair and took my phone out. I was scrolling through my texts while Whitney brought the basket of cookies over. She began to eat the cookies as she looked around the empty classroom.

"That's odd. Minnie is usually here" Whitney commented as she finished a cookie.

"So?" I asked her curiously.

Why does it matter if Minnie is here? She is very smart and strong to handle herself in any situation.

"Do you miss her? She is our friend after all" she asked me quietly.

I guess I do. She usually with the Dreamers though. I never got a chance to meet her. However, Whitney shook her head and continued to eat the cookies. I wonder what that was about. We sat in the room for a while until I looked up at the clock. The minute hand wasn't moving. I walked out of the room to see everyone going about their day calmly. I tapped my diamond earrings to check if there was any darkness nearby. I do not want anyone ruining my spelling bee competition. So far, nothing.

"Relax! I am sure the Dreamers have everything under control" Whitney said calmly.

I hope so. Only 2 hours left in the day until the spelling bee. I was just preparing myself at this point. However, I sensed something wrong in the area. I couldn't quite put my finger on it. As we were walking to the library to get some textbooks, we saw someone in a black coat running into the library! Oh, heck no! I am not letting this stupid organization stop me from having my spelling bee! I chased after her with Whitney right behind me. I pointed my wand at this attacker.

"Alright! Please go back to your world please! I am going to have a very important spelling bee and I do not want it to be ruined by you!" I declared seriously.

The person turned around and lifted her hood to revel Minnie's face?! Whitney and I were shocked.

"Minnie? Why are you wearing that coat?" Whitney asked confused.
