The Hidden Warrior

Chapter 4- Chandler To The Rescue

*******************************************************
Ivy ( unknown location)

" Um, who's there and what is a Hidden Warrior?Also, where in the the world am I?" Ivy inquired in a confused tone.
" System malfunction, the Hidden Warrior is not ready yet. It is not the right time," the same robotic voice announced.
" Wait!You didn't answer my question!" Ivy shouted, but it was too late. Ivy was back in the bathroom stall. A look of puzzlement crossed Ivy's pale face while she recalled the events that had just happened.Then, the feeling of confusion was replaced by a sick feeling in Ivy's stomach- she had to go back to class.
  With wobbly legs, Ivy walked out of the bathroom and towards her homeroom classroom. Right before opening the door and entering, Ivy whispered, " Remember what dad said , Ivy you can do this." Breathing deeply, Ivy entered the classroom. Immediately, all eyes were on Ivy, especially Claire's.
"Ivy, where were you? We were so worried, I was about to call the principal. Are you okay?" Mrs. Brown asked.
"Yea, I'm fine. Just got a headache and went to take a walk. Sorry I left without asking, the headache was just really bad," Ivy explained ( obviously lying).
" Ok, next time just tell me when you get a headache. Well, you missed majority of the class, but everyone was just talking about their summer vacation," Mrs. Brown remarked. Just then, the bell rang, which meant it was time for math. Quickly, Ivy grabbed her things and darted to math, so no one in her class would get a chance to talk to her.
Choosing a desk in the far back, Ivy took out her math book and pretended to read its contents. When everyone was seated, the teacher stated, " Hey, I am Mr. Jacklin and I am going to be your math teacher this year. Now , everyone turn to page sixty- two and answer the questions." This was going to be one long class.

Lunchtime

After having a five minute break, English, Math, Science and History, it was finally lunchtime. Surprisingly, the work was easy and the day was going pretty smoothly so far. All Ivy had to do was be quiet, so her teachers and classmates would not bother to talk to her or ask her questions, but now it was lunch- the real deal.
Gulp. The lunchroom was jam packed with students and there seemed to be no empty tables.Ivy's heart pounded against her chest and her legs began to shake. " What should I do?" Ivy thought.
" Hey, Ivy. Come sit over here!" a girl from her class, Annalise exclaimed, motioning for Ivy to come sit next to her and a few other people from her class. Ivy froze. Holding her lunch bag tightly, Ivy shuffled towards the table. As Ivy was about to sit down,Claire approached Ivy and snarled, " What do you think you are doing here. You don't deserve to sit here. You are weird.You are nothing."
Tears welling up her green eyes, Ivy darted out of the lunchroom as fast as a lightning bolt.She could hear people laughing, but she continued running to the bathroom. " Ivy, hold up. Don't bother with Claire, she's just a popular snob," an unfamiliar voice said. Ivy turned around to see a boy about her age, with wavy blond hair and bright blue eyes. Ivy's jaw dropped in awe as her eyes opened as wide as saucers. " Wait, am I drooling?" Ivy whispered. Embarrassed, Ivy closed her mouth and put on a straight face.
"Who are you, and why are you being so nice to me?" Ivy questioned, trying not to stare at the person in front of her.
" I'm Chandler. I'm in eighth grade just like you, just in a different class.I felt sorry for you so yea, that's basically it," he replied, flashing a perfect smile.
"Thanks, I appreciate it," Ivy told him.
" No problem. Well I,got to go eat lunch. See you around," Chandler remarked. Smiling at herself, Ivy continued to walk to the bathroom to wash her face. Then, her happy mood was disrupted by Claire's annoying voice.Walking in front of Ivy, Claire growled, " I just saw you and Chandler talking. Chandler will be mine. Watch out because I am coming for you."
