TAZANNA

Chapter 12

Laughter.

The corridors were pregnant with silence and then there was a burst of laughter.

Xavier laid on the floor dying with laughter and flapping like a fish.

'Shut up stupid' Zander said slapping him across the head and trying hard not to burst out laughing too. Linda just stood their with watery eyes taking deep breaths.

Soon Xavier got up, avoiding looking at me. Slowly he lift his head meeting my eyes. Sucking in his cheeks he truly tried but it was hopeless. They all burst out laughing.

Sighing I turned around resting my head on the cold surface of my locker. School was yet to start and I already was a laughing stock.

Great. Well at least It made my friends laugh.

**************************

Somebody get me out of here!

Honestly who invented school. I sat there patiently I might add as I watched the clock intently. I have already been through English first thing this morning, then math and now this history class is driving me nuts. I have sat here tapping my feet so long just waiting for that damn siren to scream already.

'Stop the tapping?' miss Howl kept saying but I ignored her.

I mean honestly these classes though. We all speak English here so what exactly are we learning? Nothing I tell you, nothing! Just a bag of rules with a bag of exceptions with more words being an exception than actually following the rule. Like why didn't you just make that the rule in the first place!

'Miss Gonzalez I'm trying to teach here but you're annoying feet are ruining my focus.'

'You already thought us this lady.'

Don't even get me started on maths. We all already know exactly how I feel about that demon. Who was so bored? Like come on, you had nothing to do? If you wanted to play around with your numbers and your ABC's why didn't you just go back to kindergarten?!

Then history. I love our rich history filled with magic and heroes fighting for peoples right. People trying to change the world for the better. Trying to bring peace to mankind. Ending stupid wars and breaking even stupider laws. I love their bravery and doing things I could never do but do we have to get tested on it.

Really. What's the sense of knowing a bag of dates about when people died just to put it back on paper. It will never help me. I can't go back and bring them to life so we can celebrate their achievements. Besides, right after the test I'm gonna forget the date anyways.

My hands quickly went to my ears offering the slightest of protection from the dreadful piercing sound.

Well you know what that means, FOOD!

Standing abruptly I grabbed my bag pack heading for the doors.

'Miss Gonzalez I did not say you may go.'

'Well you didn't say we may not go either.'

'Go back to your seat am not done yet.'

'No can do madam. Got to obey the school rules and it specifically says all creatures big or small should abide to scream of the siren. Right now that scream says lunch so.... adios.'

'Looks like you guys should be more specific with those rules huh?' I called over my shoulders stepping outside.

Lets get you fed.

My belly growled in agreement.

I took of speed walking down the isles brushing a few people here and there.

As I approached the doors of the cafeteria excitement build deep within. I haven't eaten since last night and this girl needs her food. In fact some Nutella would be nice but can't ask for too much.

I increased my speed my destination set in stone and there was nothing that could stop me. Or so I thought until I felt my feet lift off the floor in one swift motion. My body colliding bang with the lockers lining the walls.

Pain shot through my body. My belly grumbled it's hunger. My fists curled. My heart pumped and all I felt was rage.

Soul wrenching rage.
