I Need To Tell You My Story

Chapter 8: The Mythical Trickster

Tuesday 2000

A couple of weeks later Link and Rhett said they wanted to hang out together more. Since then we have and today I find out what has been going on...

"I think I'm going to get a puppy!" Link exclaimed excitedly as we walked to school balancing across the curb. "Wow!" Rhett yelled. Rhett is taller then most kids in our class and he talks louder to. Maybe he thinks kids small then him can't here him because he's tall. I smiled. As the years went by me and link became more and more together. I think Rhett's jealous though. I need to decide who I "want" Rhett or Link. "I don't know what I want to call him" Link said rolling the sleeves of his shirt down. "Jase?" Rhett said. "Locke?" I said. "Yeah locke!" Link said. "Locke and Link" link said. We all laughed and ran the rest of the way to school...

"So remember your homework is poetry this week so I expect a 1 page essay about any poet and read it to the whole class this Friday" Mrs. July said. The whole class groaned. "Ok before the bell rings I'm going to give you your sheet for geography next class because your geography teacher couldn't get the sheets" Mrs. July said handing the class sheets of the world map. BRRRRRRR!!!! The fire alarm blared it's ear-piercing bell. The whole class freaked. I stated cool. I've been in a situation like this before. It's how my dad died. I'll tell you about it later. Some of the kids started screaming. Kids and teachers spilled out of class rooms and down to the bottom oval. "Ok class quickly run to the bottom oval and stay in line with your classmates" Mrs. July said with her strong North Carolina accent. The whole class pretty much sprinted out of the classroom followed by Mrs. July. I hopped up out of my desk and walked down the hallway to the oval. When I saw another class running towards the back door I started picking up my pace. Everyone ran out the back doors and stood in line on the oval as teachers called out students names to make sure everybody's here. I slowly stumbled down the hill and onto the oval as Mrs. July called out my name. "Lucille!" She yelled. "Lucille" she yelled even higher in a panicky voice. "Here!" I said walking into the line. "Why are you late?!" She yelled. "I got trampled on by the other classes" I said. "Daniel!" She yelled. "Here!". I looked throughout the line for Link and Rhett. Rhett and Link luckily were put in my class for the past 3 years. I can see Rhett but no link. That's when I started panicking a little inside. My skin turned pale. "Lucille are you ok?" Mrs. July said walking over to me. "Link isn't here" I said. I ran up the hill faster then you could say Ant. "Lucille!" She yelled. I have to find my boyfriend or my life won't be complete. I ran up the hill and into the school. I looked in every class. I can't smell smoke nor see any. I looked in the cafeteria and the gym. The front gates. No fire. No flames. No smoke. No link. The last place is the janitors closet and the fire alarm is outside of it, I ran there as a tear fell down my cheek. I'm petrified that link is gone or in danger. I don't want to loss another person I love due to a fire. I ran to the janitors closet. The fire alarm is obviously smashed and there's a stick below it. Maybe whoever smashed the fire alarm used a stick. I opened the janitors closet. A small figure is in the corner giggling a little. He looked up at me. It's link. "Link!" I yelled running over and hugging him. "Why the hell are you in here!" I yelled even louder. He leaned in and whispered in my ear "I'm the Mythical Trickster". I looked at him. We smiled evily...
