Linh POV

The sun was a light golden color that was darking and harding with each color as the sun was starting to appear through the once darken clouds that were shining with brightness and its white fluffiness. The sky was appearing brighter and lighter as the fog slowly vannished into nothingess or into moisture as if it had melted.

I sat staring out the classroom window, watching this beautifulness, instead of listening to Professor Forkle lecture us on the French Revolution for his history lesson. Another reason why I like looking out this window is that my mind is free to wander free. To think about random stuff. Not be reminded of twin brother Tam, not be reminded of my schoolwork, not be reminded of the quiz this friday, not be reminded of this certainly deadly secret, just not be reminded of anything. Just to think about rainbows and unicorns, because, why not?

"Miss Song?" Professor Forkle voice sounded and snapped me back into the lesson. I looked up, and met his piercing blue eyes startling me. I smiled sweetly at him and his gaze softened.

"Yes, Professor Forkle?" I asked and I could see the whole class staring at me even the new girl, Sophie Foster(She looked nice). I felt like embrassed when I noticed the Jock, Fitz's and The Rebel Boy, Keefe's eyes on me, but I didn't blush. But then, I don't know when I blush, so I don't know if I did.

"Miss Song, do you know any books about the French Revolution. Like novels for instance..?" He asked. I frowned and started racking my brain for information. Suddenly, a light bulb clicked on in my brain.

"Les Miserables by Victor Hugo..?" I asked, I was not certain, but Professor Forkle nodded approvingly.

"Yes, that's one of them, Miss Song," He said with big grin, "Les Miserables is a book the escaped fugitive Jean Valjean..." I noticed one of the nerds, I think it was Dex, sat up straighter... "And his lifelong struggles to evade capture by a ruthless and self-righteous Inspector Javert. There are more to the story line, though." I stared at Dex, watching his reaction.

"Well, just to let you guys know, a new Ex-block(Basically an Elective) has been added and its for the rest of the year... The Drama Club, where you will be making a musical!" I stared at Professer Forkle and smiled softly. Turning arounding, to face my brother, Tam met my eyes and shook his head. His long silver painted bangs dipping into his eyes with a frown. Tam Song, my twin brother was one of thoose gangster boys in the school and those boys at Foxfire always turned out to be Generals in someone's army. I scowled at him.

"The first meeting is today in the Theater with Mrs. Rosing." Professor Forkle said, and with that the bell rang. The class filed out except for me, Tam, Dex, Marella, and Professor Forkle. Dex and Marella were talking to Professor Forkle while I approached my brother.

"Tam! Come on! Let's do it, please," I begged him and he stared at me blankly.

"I don't want to do it, Linh." He said narrowing his eyes at me. I flashed my puppy dog eyes at him. He rolled his eyes. "Whatever. I'm only going to be a stunt then. Deal?"

"Deal." We shook hands as the four remaining students left to head to second period leaving behind empty chairs at empty tables.
