"You're doing what?" I asked Carol in surprise.
"I'm joining band." She replied mildly, "I'm getting private lessons for clarinet from a senior. And officially joining next year." Her eyes leveled with mine, daring me to argue with her about it.
I forced myself to relax, "That's fine, just don't skip out on any responsibilities." It took her a second to realize that I wasn't going to argue with her about it, do I really say 'no' to that much?
"I won't!" She cried out excitedly, running off to who-knows-where. I was trying to picture her wearing one of those funny red and blue uniforms, yes, our school colors are red and blue, bu I couldn't see it, especially the funny hat. Soon Edward would be wanting to join art club.
It has been several weeks and Kayla still hasn't come back, but then again, she had an entire planet to visit. Nick separated himself from everyone else and, other than that, things were back to being the same.
I reached my locker, got the necessary notebook, and hurried to my first class of the week, taking a partially hidden staircase that I had discovered. It saved me at least a minute of time and it was discreet.
I got inside and started up the stairs. It was dark, but it was often like that. About half way up I froze, a chill went down my back, the temp had dropped considerably. Now there is a strange smell surrounding me, it made me feel slightly dizzy. Something raced by the corner of my eye. I turned just in time to be kicked in the stomach hard enough to be pushed back into the wall, knocking my breath out of me.
Then a hand was around my throat, pinning me against the wall. "Come peacefully and I won't hurt you. You already know that, if we fight, I will win. That scent that you noticed earlier
is a toxin that dims your senses, eventually you will pass out and you won't wake until an antidote is given." I was already having trouble listening to what he was saying and I couldn't concentrate enough to tell who he was. "You'll notice it's very fast acting. So, are you going to go peacefully?"
I didn't really have a choice, I opened my mouth to answer with dignity, but my voice refused to work. I nodded instead. The hand released my throat and I had to lean against the wall to stay standing. The other person moved across a shaft of sunlight from a window. The last thing I saw before passing out was Nick, and vaguely hearing a door open.
