WARNING: The Following is a Continuing Story Arc, and May End in a Cliffhanger:
Unluckily, however, Art was
taught by Ms. Hetrick; the math teacher. As I walked into the room, breathing
heavily and sweating at an alarming rate, I looked up to meet the unsatisfied gleam of the
teacher. I tried to hide behind the crowd of chatting students the covered the
back row(who were awaiting for further instruction from the teacher). Alas, this tactic
didn’t work.
“What took you so long? Weren’t you just outside?”
“Umm yeah, I went to the bathroom.”
“For 5 minutes?”
she said, as she looked down at her silver watch.
“Yeah, I’d rather not talk about it if you don’t
mind,” I said in an overly defensive tone.
“I’m sorry… Class! Prepare for class! We have a fun and
interesting project for today.”
I’ll skip to when something fun
and interesting happens:
As the final bell rang,
disbanding a wave of loud children, I suddenly remembered what Buck had told
me.
It had become my mission to
make it to the park, eager to find out what Buck meant by “army.” Who were they
fighting? Wizards hadn’t been cool since Harry Potter, and even that was ruined
when they killed Dobby. Why?! Why Dobby?!
I power walked to the park,
increasing speed with every other step that took me closer to Buck. Eventually
after about 5 minutes (4 minutes and 48 seconds to be exact) I found myself
sprinting in anticipation.
Sweat dripped down my brow (I
sweat a lot in this story… California’s a hot state…) when I ran past the breezy
January air, stopping for no one… Although there was no one to really stop for;
the park was only like 10 minutes away, and not many people live in Cloverdale.
I did brush past a 3rd grader, and looking back at that, I do feel
kind of bad about it… Poor little confused 3rd grader!
At last, I had made it to the
park. I leaned against the chain fences that surrounded the park. I was finally
there and ready to unveil the vagueness that lead to my curiosity. I looked
beyond the fence to look for Buck, only to realize I had rushed all the way to
the park, even before Buck had left school.
