Today, I almost felt my heart pounding, like it's going to burst. I was almost scared to death!
~*~
Today is the School's Annual Spelling Bee.
I love it, or should I hate it?
The Bullies are in it. (It's capitalized)
But I'm good at spelling.
Let's skip a few moments and talk about the moment.
I almost freaked out.
~*~
We were in the top 2.
Me and Carvol. (I bet he cheated, he's not even good in his studies)
Carvol -- a member of the Bullies Committee.
suspicious for almost killing Law.
I gulped.
Hard.
Before the final round.
"Hey, man," Carvol croaked. "Whatcha doin',''
"Nothin'..." I stammered, but finally gathered up my courage. "What do you want?"
"Everything," he whispered in my ear, slyly, "the Spelling Bee trophy, pride, and to humiliate you."
I thought. Well, I have been the Speller Bee since grade 8 and it will be humiliating if I failed to get the prize this year.
However, I need a deal.
"OK... Let's make a deal," I said. "If you tell me who ended Trafalgar up in hospital, the trophy's yours. If not, sorry!"
I can almost feel the heat, the raging anger in Carvol. Perhaps, today it will be the end of me. Another shiny dagger in my heart. I wanna scoot.
But I don't want to be the scaredy- cat.
So I HAVE to stand up to him.
Surprisingly, no dagger was digging into my bones.
"Well, fine!" Carvol peeped, "I did it."
"How could you?" I exploded, almost wanting to punch him, but when I remembered the dagger, I held back my thought.
"I was forced to, or he'll kill me," Carvol squealed. It was the first time I saw tears filling his blood-red eyes.
"He? Who is he?" I was desperate to know.
