"Oh-k we're here! What's the emergency?!" I heard Michaels exclaimed swinging the door open. I laughed because Cole K, Michaels, Josh and Kurt were ready to attack.
"Oh nothing much really." Molly started off. "Just that Michelle's unconscious in the hospital, David isn't behind bars like he should be, there have been 2 Staff Meetings already in 1 school year, and we almost got expelled for saving our school from total ruin. Nothing too bad though." Molly finished. I stopped myself from laughing.
"Oh-k so there are a lot of emergencies." Cole K said. I nodded.
"No time for fooling around you two. We've got a possible threat lurking around the hallways and you're learning your numbers." Trisha said. Cole K and Michaels acted offended and I rolled my eyes.
"Wait. Michelle's in the hospital?" Seth asked. I saw his eyes flash with worry for a split second and I had a confused look on my face.
"Yeah why?" Katrina asked. Everyone seemed to be clueless except for the guys and myself about what was up with Seth.
"N-No reason." I watched him shift his weight from one foot to the other while shifting his gaze from us to the door, to the floor, back to the door, back to the floor, and stayed there. I made a mental note for later.
"Either way we need a plan of action." Julie said.
"We kind of have to tell them first!" Katrina exclaimed.
"Oh yeah." Julie said smiling sheepishly. So we all explained it all. The Staff Meeting, David, the classified library, the ninja, kung-fu battle scene, the thing in Dean Withers' office, and then I was forced along with Matt, to tell everyone about the gym incident.
"Oh-k so now we all know what's going on." Molly said. "I think just because everything between Matt and Sue worked out, they should hug." I lightly hit her on the head and felt arms wrap around me from behind. I turned to see Matt. I hugged him back and a chorus of ' awe's ' were heard. I pulled away and stuck my tongue out at everyone else.
"So you guys beat the crap out of 30 or so full grown men who must've had proper training, in skirts?" Josh asked. The rest of the girls and I nodded. "Remind me never to get you guys mad." we all laughed and walked out of Trisha's portal door and out to the front of the dorm building. I walked over to Seth and walked with him.
"Hey Seth." I said. He nodded. "I saw what you were doing earlier today. I'm not a body language specialist but you looked worried. I thought you guys hated each other. Not to pry or anything." I said. I saw Seth's face turn a little pink as he looked forward.
"Nope. She's just known as Cole Michaels' ex-girlfriend." I rolled my eyes.
"You cant really think that I'm going to accept that as an answer." I said. "I know you guys had talked before. You were dance partners. I know you see her as more than your best friend's ex-girlfriend." Seth turned his head completely away so I only saw the back of his head. "Fine. But when you're ready to confess your true feelings, you know where to find me." I said. I left him to his thoughts and I walked over to the rest of the group. Julie and Josh were talking, Trisha and Peter were forming some sort of plan, Molly and Kurt were talking and Amanda, Katrina, and Michaels all started talking. I walked over to Cole K. "Hey."
"Hey yourself."
"What do you think of Michelle?" I asked.
"I don't know. I don't know her that much so I couldn't say. Why?" He responded looking at me as we walked. I shook my head and moved my gaze to the ground.
"No reason. Just never really knew what everyone thought of her. Just making polite conversation."
"You worried about her?" I nodded.
"A bit. She hit her head hard and now she's in a coma possibly suffering brain damage. I'm more scared than worried." I looked up to see Cole K looking at me with reassuring eyes. He smiled and said,
"I'm sure she'll bounce back in no time. She'll be alright." I felt my stomach do a single Summer-Salt and I was a bit surprised by it. But I nodded and just said.
"Thanks."
Later that day I was finishing Amanda's outfit for her date and suddenly I just fell asleep on the desk next to the sewing machine. I woke up about 3 hours with a start. It was kind of creepy. It a dream that instead of Matt, I liked Cole K and all the incidents from this past school year was with him. I slowly made my way from Ms Comet's sewing table in her class out the building and towards the Hyacinth dorms while thinking about the dream I just had.
"What was that?" I mumbled as I climbed into my bed and after finally giving the dream a rest (no pun intended) I fell back into a deep sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Thank you girls for coming down." The voice of Dean Withers said. We were back in her office. Her big swivel arm-chair was turned so we only saw the back of it. The chair turned revealing David in the chair. He had Dean Withers' voice though. We all gasped as David smirked.
"David what are you doing her?" we all demanded in unison. I looked at Molly and Trisha and the other girls and I could tell we were all pissed.
"Where's Dean Withers?! I want answers so talk!" I demanded. David's smirk only grew bigger.
"So feisty Susan. Dean Withers isn't here right now. She's been arrested." we all gasped again and i dug my fingernails into the leather arm-chair I was currently seated in. I ran out of the office, out of the building, across campus, into the Special Operations building, and to Mr S's classroom. I gasped in horror. I saw David at the board writing the homework like Mr S did everyday. He turned to me and said,
"Mr S can't save you now with his precious lessons." His voice was now that of Mr S's.
"You know you sounded more like your normal self with the girl's voice earlier." He glared and growled slightly. He started moving towards me the same way he did at the water fountain. I tried fighting back but i went right through him. He laughed maniacally.
"You can't hurt me. But I can hurt you." He picked me off my feet by my neck and threw me against a wall. I collided with the wall and some books fell off a cabinet that was against the same wall. I struggled to get up and David came closer to me. I stood up and he lifted his hand. I flinched waiting for a punch or to be grabbed again but I just felt his finger on my forehead. I opened my eyes just as he put a little pressure on my forehead and i fell back. But instead of feeling the wall behind me, I fell through it. I felt myself fall continuously until I found myself in the Athletic Center and i saw the scene where Matt and I had made up. I watched as Matt talked to my other self. Then all of a sudden the other me disappeared and I was in her place. Matt's back was to me and I walked over.
"Um, Matt?" I asked. I pulled his shoulder and he turned around revealing that he was Cole K. "C-Cole?" I asked surprised. He smirked and pulled his face off. Yes I mean his face was a mask. Under it it revealed David once more. I gasped again and took a step back.
"Miss me?" I screamed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Ahhhhhhhh!" I sprung up in bed. It was a still partially dark out and I was sweating. I was sitting in my bed breathing hard. It was a dream. A nightmare. Just then Amanda, Molly, Trisha, Julie, and Katrina barged through the door. Trisha had her taser and the rest of them were in fighting stances.
"What happened?!" Molly exclaimed. When they realized it was just me, they lowered their guard. Amanda walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. She gently put her hand on my arm and I flinched.
"What happened Sue? You look pretty spooked." Molly asked. I looked over at them and all I could say was,
"Nightmare." Julie hugged my while Katrina went to get a bowl of water and a small towel. She wet the towel in the bowl, rang it out, and handed it 2 me. I whipped my face from the sweat and my breathing began to go back to normal. I was finally able to talk. We moved into the common room area and Trisha, Molly, and Amanda grabbed a bunch of pillows and blankets and we sat in the pile of pillow and blankets.
"Oh this is perfect I can be like a therapist!" Molly exclaimed. She jumped on the couch, lowered her glasses, and looked at me while saying, "Hand how does that make you feel?" in a sophisticated tone. I only smiled. So I told them all what happened in my dream. But I left out the first dream I had. Not because it was embarrassing, but it's because my friends were analyzing my dream and I didn't want to hear the possibilities as to what that first dream was about. So I didn't tell them. I only told them the nightmare. I was telling it to them like it was a scary campfire story. When I had finished everyone didn't say much after that. They were all thinking and thinking hard. I looked over at the digital clock glowing in the room. It read 5:30 AM. Molly groaned.
"It's so early!" she complained. I nodded.
"Well it seems you're gaining a fear of David." Trisha said.
"I am not!" I exclaimed.
"Just saying. If that's true, lets keep it that way. It's exactly what he wants. You to be afraid of him. We can't let him gain the upper hand." Trisha replied. I sighed.
"We might as well have a look at the book to pass the time. No used trying to get to bed again." Katrina said. Amanda got up to go get the book. We had designated her as the hider of the book. Only she would know where the hiding spot would be. We waited a few minutes before Molly said,
"How long does it take to find a freaking book?!" Just then Amanda ran back into the common area.
"The book's not here! It's gone!" I felt my heart stop.
"What do you mean it's gone?! It can't be gone!" Molly exclaimed.
"I'm telling you it's gone! I hid it and I searched there, and all around the area for it. But there was no book. Nada. Nothing. Nope. Zero. Sorry. None." Amanda said. All color from my face was drained. I felt it leave my skin. Not, good.
"It's not here. I swear!" I sighed and sat on Amanda's bed. We've been searching Amanda's entire room for the book and found nothing. I looked at the clock. 7:30. Everyone will be waking up soon.
"Come on. It's gone for now." I said. I stood up and headed for the door. "We've got classes today." I walked to my room and took out my uniform. I walked into the bathroom for a shower and when came out ready for class I saw everyone else still in their pajamas.
"Classes have been canceled. There's a continuation of the staff meetings." Trisha said pale skinned. I sat down next to them on the couches and chairs.
"Ugh, we need that book." Molly said storming off to her room. Amanda got up and went into her room. Both of them slammed their doors. I winced at the sound. I sighed.
"Looks like we're gonna have to be the peace makers." Katrina said. I nodded.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Amanda? I'm finished with your outfit for Saturday." I said through the door to Amanda's room. It was only 11:30 AM. Classes were canceled except for extra curriculars and clubs. Amanda had basketball just before and Molly had ballet. I had dance as well and I got to talk to Matt again. The door opened revealing Amanda with a towel on her head. Her hair was wet and she smelled like shampoo. I walked in and showed her the outfit.
She tried it on and looked in the mirror. "It's really pretty. Thanks." I smiled. She smiled back. She changed out of it and we both sat on her bed. "You know I didn't loose the book." I shrugged.
"I'm neutral in this whole situation. But I'm sure you didn't intend on loosing it." I said. Amanda smiled and nodded. "So are you excited about Saturday?" I asked. She nodded and had a huge smile on her face. I laughed. "Well it's finally coming. Less than 24 hours."
"Yeah, I know. What are you guys gonna do while I'm out?"
"The rest of the guys, and ourselves plan on visiting Michelle in the hospital."
"I'm so sorry I'm missing it." I laughed.
"I'm pretty sure Michelle would excuse you if you wouldn't see her because of a date." Amanda laughed. I stood up and walked towards the door.
"Now, for Molly's room." I saluted her and left her room. I went over and knocked on Molly's door.
"It's open." I heard through the door. I opened it and stuck my head in.
"Boo." I said. I walked in and found Molly reading in her bed. I sat down across from her.
"Hey." she said. She set her book down.
"Do we have a game plan for what we're gonna do about Michelle?" I asked. She shook her head.
"Who knows if she'll even wake up!" Molly said.
"Well lets keep an open mind about that. If we were to see her while she's conscious, what would we say or ask?"
"Knock, knock." We heard from the other side of the door. We turned to see Julie and Trisha.
"Julie's getting Amanda out of her room." Trisha said. I nodded and Katrina as if on cue appeared while holding Amanda by her skinny arm.
"O-k we all need to discuss what we're going to tell Michelle if she wakes up on Saturday." Julie said.
"Obviously she's not going to remember at least a few things. So it's our job to tell her and remind her."
"Then why am I here?" Amanda asked.
"Because you're still a part of this." Trisha said.
"Well what do you think she'll forget?" Katrina asked.
"At least the past few weeks. So Sue, she might find it a surprise that you're here." I nodded.
"Oh and she'll probably forget about our whole "Save the school, save the world" mission." Molly said.
"Knock-knock!" I heard.
"Door's open!" Molly hollered. The door knob turned and the door swung open revealing the guys.
"Hey guys!" I said. Matt nodded.
"We're just here to deliver a package." Peter said. All the guys moved out of the way and revealed a slightly dazed Michelle looking around at all the faces.
"Michelle!" We all exclaimed running and hugging her while tackling her to the ground.
"Who's Michelle?" she asked. I exchanged worried glances with Trisha and Molly. "Wait a second, who are you guys? Where am I?"
"Oh boy." Julie said. "Oh crap."
"I have got the feeling she's forgotten more than just the past few weeks." I said. The others nodded with gaping mouths and wide eyes."
