Crimson

Chapter 11

I walked back into class and took my seat. My teacher had asked for a tardy slip, forgetting I had one, I stood up and handed it to her. I sat back down sighing.

"Are you okay? Why were you late?" She asked and all eyes turned in my direction. I looked around and gave my answer.

"My friend was in the nurses office, I was making sure she was okay."

"What took you that long to check on someone?"

"Well... She wasn't excatly awake."

"What?"

"See," I said while twidling my thumbs, "She umm... Fainted and um... She hasn't woken up."

"Oh.. Is your friend okay? What happened?"

What I really wanted to say was "why are you getting all up in my buisness?," but my mind said otherwise.

"She.." I looked around, all the beady eyes staring at me. "hit her head. She was fine at first and then she felt dizzy and then she fainted."

"What's her name?"

Come on Crimson think of something. You can't tell her, her real name otherwise creepy stalker was going to drill her with questions.

"Amy." I said confindently. I hope she couldn't tell I was lieing.

"Oh, I don't know an Amy."

Could this lady get any noisier? Like can you get your nose out my buisness.

"She's doesn't have you for any classes." She walked over to my desk and leaned over.

"You aren't lying to me, are you?" I laughed,

"Me? Lying to you? Please." I waved my hand and the class erupted in laughter.

She stood up, brushed off her sweater, and returned to her seat. She eyed me from across the room. Maybe because I mad a fool of her, and maybe because she knew something I didn't, either way I had won the round for now. She stepped up to the board and continued with class. As class went on I had noticed her hair getting darker and darker, till it was black. Her normally light green eyes, turned an electric green shade.

I know those eyes.

"That's all for today." She said, giving us minutes to spare before the bell rang.

"Crimson, could you come here please?"

"Oooo..." The class said.

I grabbed my binder and my book and proceded up to the front. I stopped infornt of her desk.

"You wanted to see me?" I said. She stood up.

"Yes. I wanted to ask you something."

"Shoot." I replied.

"Why did you lie to me?"

"Excuse me?"

"Why did you lie to me?"

"I didn't lie."

"Yes you did. Now why did you? Is there someone your protecting? Someone your afraid could get hurt if you tell?"

"No."

"Than why did you lie."

"Ma'am. If I was lieing, you would know about it. Plus if I was lieing, than where did I get that permison slip?"

"I don't know."

"Exactly. If I was lieing than why would I give you that?"

"Good point." She looked at me again her eyes flashing an electric green color. My face widened in horror as I relisation hit me like a brick wall. That guy that pinned my up against the wall. Whatever vodo magic he was using on her was fading. He could only prevent his features from apearing on her for so long. I stumbled back and walk towards the door as the bell rang. He reached for my arm but, just barely missing. I got swepted up in the crowd as he started following me.There was only one thing on my mind.

I had to find Emerald.
