The Shell's hangout was like an aquarium, except it wasn't filled with animals,

It seemed to be similar to an aquarium because of all the glass windows, the tanks full of water, maybe even be about 16 feet deep,

Some tanks were filled with water, but some were just abandoned, sitting there for years, inside those tanks is red water, it freaked me out last time because it was a dark red, it looked as if it could be Bloody water.

Another thing about The Shell's was that in the tanks, swam LIVING people, they'd swim in ALL tanks, even the red abandoned tank of water, as if it were swimming pools,

If you were to go down into the basement there would be a place for you to watch the people swim down under, Forest had a wide smile on his face last time when he was watching a little boy swim further and further DOWN IN THE RED WATER,

What if it was bloody water?
I asked myself as a chill went down my spine,

I dunno why Forest thinks that's amusing, it's just creepy and weird, but I wouldn't tell him that.

"Hey Forest" I smile

"Hi Brainy, Uhm, have you seen Dawson anywhere?" Forest looks around with a suspicious look

"No..? Why what's up?"

"I dunno if I should tell ya." Forest shrugs his backpack onto his shoulders,

"Why not? Do you have trust issues with me or what?" I look into Forests very light blue eyes,

"No no!" Forest breaks a sweat immediately, "No! I just ...Me and Dawson are just..well...me and him promised each other we wouldn't tell anyone about any of our secrets, and
..ya know .. etcetera.. "

"If I told you something...would you tell me what's going on? Just...please...? I'm desperate." I plead,

Forest slams his locker shut, and turns back at me with frustration written all over his face,

"Jesus brainy, how many questions are you going to ask, and how many times are you going to beg? Your parents should've named you nosey!"
Forest storms off with his sketchpad and pencils and his backpack,

I stand in the hallway, with wide eyes,
Forest never seemed to freak out like that, I don't think ANYONE'S seen him like THAT.
