The Guide (continued)

AUTHORS NOTE: so I ran into some problems with the last chapter.....basically it wouldn't let me save....? Any whore, this will be a continuation of that chp!

Thanks a bunch Andy, I smiled.

" If you think about it though, it makes sense that he would do that." There was a bit of a pause between the two girls. After a few seconds, I began to feel a bit unsure about this period of silence. They certainly didn't leave, as I can see the shadow of there feet through the 5 stalls that stood in front of mine, but it did seem as if they were thinking about something that they didn't want to say.

Then I heard one of them laugh nervously," no! Not THAT! It can't be....wow Em you really know how to scare people-"

" Carry, I'm not joking. There are rumors that the OT has gotten hands on THAT weapon again and their saying that it may have entered this school some how...most likely through a student...a NEW student." A weapon? I quickly thought about everything that I shoved in to my satchel this morning. Surly, I'm not carrying anything dangerous...unless school supplies are actually bombs.

" ....This would mean that Andy was told to give all the newbies to Amy because she is the only one who can Handel such a weapon...if it were to be used." Em continued.

" I just think everyone has their panties in a knot!And can we talk about how Andy calls us hoppers instead of Travelers! You'd think that since his father is in the OST that he'd be corrected on tha...." Carry's voice trailed off as she and Em walked out of the bathroom. I had a feeling that Carry switched the topic on purpose.

As the day went on, I discovered that finding different class rooms was not as hard as I had thought it'd be. The majority of the sophomore classes were all on the second level of the school, however classes like art, band, or gym were scattered and more difficult to get to. Classes though, were not my biggest problem.

By the Time I had made it to lunch, nearly the whole school knew about my outburst in spanish. At first I wondered how such a big school could find out all that information in just a few class periods, but then I remembered the conversation in the bathroom. Text. Those two girls knew about the incident just through text. I had almost forgotten that nearly every highschool student has a phone. I remembered in middle school, when rumors went around it normally took about two days, but it was almost like whisper-down-the-lane game, so some of the rumor was a bit off. This was either a good or bad thing. Usually for me it was bad.

Unlike middle school though, not everyone knows what I look like. Occasionally I heard the," is that the girl?" Whisper in the hallway, but hardly anyone turned their heads in shock each time I walked into the classroom. I was still nervous though. The girls in the bathroom had mentioned that I "had guts" but that can't be EVERYONE'S reaction once they know what I look like. At least I only have four periods left, including lunch, which I'm heading towards now.

As soon as I entered the cafeteria,the sound of teenagers nailed me in the face. 8th period lunch had more people than I thought. In my last school hardly any table was filled, an normally I sat in either an empty table or the library,but these were over flowing with kids and lunch time is prohibited in the library. So now I'm stuck.

" HEY! Newbie!" I felt a hand whack me on the shoulder. I turned to see about a good three pairs of eyes staring back at me. Two of them were actually Andy and Amy,the last one was the boy that I saw this morning who seemed to be best buds with Andy.

" Well we had no classes together, but at least we have lunch!"Said Amy. The boy next to Andy cleared his throat," oh yeah that's Charter Hammerman, He's part of our group!"
