I knew today was going to be a sucky day as soon as the bus pulled up to Chapman Elem. School.
Nothing exciting ever happens, just another typical, boring day.
I had to sit through several hours of sheer boredom, history, science, english, ugh....
I wish I had softball practice today, but those were normally every other day or so.
Alice wasn't in the same class as me, and the only times I could ever speak to her or even see her were:
1.) On the bus
2.) During lunch
3.) During recess
4.) and before I leave
Going through class without her nearby to chat with literally was a drag.
Seconds seem like minutes and minutes seem like hours.
I had almost fallen asleep in the middle of science, when suddenly, the loud DING of the lunch bell echoed through the entire building.
I jumped from my seat and got first in line in front of the door.
Ms. Steel lined up the other kids, and we were off.
Once I had gotten lunch, my first thought was to seek out Alice.
Today was chicken nuggets with a side of potato skin fries, random fruit, milk of every sort...
I saw Alice's familiar dark hair and waved to her.
She waved back and signaled for me to sit next to her.
" So, how was your day?" she asked.
I plunked myself in the seat next to her, " Suckish, mostly listening to the teacher blab on and on about this and that."
Alice faked a surprised look, " Really? Mine too!"
I had to laugh a little at that, Alice's antics were enough to brighten up any day.
I turned and began to eat my food.
Alice stopped talking and began to eat as well.
Well, at least recess was right after this, wonder what Alice has in mind for us to do.
I must've drifted off, because the next thing you know, I'm starting to hear a voice.
It wasn't Alice's, and the cafeteria rioting noise was muffled to a low inaudible whisper.
This voice was rather high and somewhat raspy, " Alexa..."
" Who's there?" I asked, looking around.
No response.
The voice came again, " Alexa....Alexa...."
Alice's voice cut into my daydreaming, " Alexa? Alexa!"
I came back to reality, " Huh?"
She looked at me, " Are you getting a fever? You seemed pretty zoned out."
I turned to her, " Did you hear it? The voice?"
Alice looked at me like I was crazy, " Voice? What voice are you talking about?"
I whispered, " I had some kind of vision, this voice was calling and calling my name, but I couldn't see the speaker..."
Alice said, " That does sound a little crazy, you sure you're right in the head today?"
I turned away, " Nevermind, probably the tiredness from being bored has gone to my head..."
The bell rang again, time for recess, and then Ama would come to pick me up, sweet sweet freedom was only an hour away.
Alice and I threw our trays away as the lunch crowd swept outside to the tiny playground.
I decided to sit at the base of the huge tree nearby and took out my Warriors book and began reading.
