Gone A loud ringing enters my ears, filling me with dread. "See you guys, later. I have to go to class." I say to my friends and trudge to class. At least it's Friday, I think to myself. I made my way to class and flopped in my assigned seat. The rest of the class filed in and I sighed at how long this day was going to be. "Hey, I have you in like three of my classes and I don't even know your name." I looked up in shock to see a tall, skinny guy with black hair looking at me. "Oh. I'm Alexandra but I go by Alex," I replied shyly. "I'm Chris." He smiled. I nodded and pretended to be writing something. Someone actually noticed me. And he's not that bad looking. Classes blurred together and the day dragged on until it was time to go home. The sun shone off the bright sidewalk and I was suffocating in the heat. It felt like being in an oven. I finally made it to my street and started walking a little faster. Suddenly, something moved in the woods. My head snapped in that direction and there was a flash of yellow. A smart person would've just gone home, but I'm not that smart.
