Shadow Rings

Chapter 4

Looking around the hallway I realized I was lost. I really should have stayed with Zane, he was my map. Checking my schedule it looks like I have gym next. Now to try and find the gymnasium is the thing. I so wished they would have given me a map instead.

Roaming back the way I came I tried finding anything that looked familiar. Apparently I wasn't looking where I was going . I smacked right into a door, which just opened. Bam!! I was on the floor, already feeling a headache on. "Ouch!! Man that hurt!!" I groaned sitting up and leaned against the lockers. Glaring at the door with all the hate I could muster up.

Hearing a gasp, I looked up and seen a guy not much older than me. He kinda looked like Mr. Gregor. "I am so sorry. I didn't even know anyone was out here. I thought everyone was still at lunch ." He apologized. He had an English accent to his voice. Bending down he helped me slowly get up and on to my feet. "Are you okay??" Reaching out to steady me.

I felt a little shock go through me. Chalking it up to me just hitting my head, I put it to the back of my head.
"Yeah...just peachy..." My head was throbbing hardcore.
"Why dont you let me take you to the nurse. We can get you some ice and some tylenol for your head." Ushering me down the hallway I was originally headed.
"Thank you. I was lost anyway... I was trying to find my next class before the bell rang. I have gym next." I stumbled a little bit on my feet.

"Woah there... Maybe you should lay down on one of the cots in here." Opening a door that said nurses office.

"That means missing gym... No thank you. That is one of the classes I like the most."
"But since it's your first day, you wouldn't be participating until you got your gym clothes. There's no use sitting in a sweaty gym. Might as well be in here. I will even stay with you and make sure you get to your next class. Without walking into another door." He winked at me.

"Wont you get in trouble for staying?" I gave him a weird look.
"Heh...heh.. Not too much.. just let me tell my brother to find someone to watch the class." Laughing he eased me down on the cot and left out the door.
I layed down and closed my eyes. Hoping it would ease my head a little bit...
                                                         *********

                     (Mr. Gregor's POV)
"Zander, I believe the one we have been waiting for is here. The problem is that she is our student." Looking him in the eye. My twin brother looks so much like me, but in a huge way not at all. That's why most people dont know we are twins.

"You know  what that means right? We are going to have to be really careful. We will have to approach her slowly." Patting me on the shoulder, and walking towards the classroom door. "Dont do anything that will get you in trouble..."

"Same to you brother.... same to you.." I whispered as he walked out.

   **************

(Around lunch time)

Hearing my phone ring, I walked into my office. It was Zander. "What's up?" I asked.

"So....um... we have a slight...heh.. very slight...problem... heh heh... " he mumbled out.

"What did you do this time?" Sighing, I braced myself on my desk.

"I may have accidentally hit Micahla with a door..."

"You did what?!!!!" I yelled at him.

"It was  an accident. She is fine. We are at the nurses right now. I'm getting her some ice and Tylenol for her head. She is  going to lay down for a bit. So she wont be going to her next class and neither will I be. I told her I would stay with her and make sure she got to her next class okay."

"You? Does she know that you are her teacher? I will get you a substitute for gym. If she doesn't know you are a teacher now,  then next class she will good luck." I hung up the phone. I can already see this turning out badly..
