Episode 2 - New Student! Rebecca!
So I had just entered the school building.  Inside the halls were gray and the walls were made of dull red bricks, with these ceiling fans over head with lights.  Why does school have to even LOOK boring?  Ashley and I parted, because she took a different morning class then me, some sort of combat-class, I couldn�t keep up with that sort of stuff, too violent for me..!  But Ashley enjoyed it, and ever since she was little she wanted to know how to defend herself.  Her occasional pulling of pranks on other people got her into fights at school sometimes, though!  I didn�t like it myself, but I guess everyone is different, right?

Ashley said, �Seeya later girly,� as we parted and waved as she darted off down the hall and around the corner.  Then another girl burst through a door to the right of me, almost slamming into me.  She was wearing a big purple cloak, with orange clothes underneath and she had long green hair.  The robes were obviously too big for her, and she stumbled, almost tripping with every step.  She was another one of my friends, Lisa.

Lisa looked at me, unaware she almost knocked me over, �Oh, hi, Crystaaaaaaal! I�m just finishing up with my early morning class�I messed up with every part of every single thing I did, I couldn�t do any finger snapping, and then I got the formula incorrect for whistling, I am so awful!�

I looked at her, smiled and said, �Don�t worry, you did great!  You�re always like the smartest, Lisa!  And, we need to get to our next class,� then we ran down the hall to Mr. Shampinzki�s Blowing Abnormal Bubbles class, it has a long run, and it was on the left.  We were both out of breath by the time I got there.  Geez, why do I keep running out of breath this morning?  Can�t I get a break?

When we got in, we sat in our seats, we both sit in the front row, I sit on the far right, and Lisa sits on the far left.  There are only three seats in the front.  Is that small to you? 

Mr. Shampinzki walked in late, too.  But, he still knew me and Lisa were late, and he said, �You two, your late!�  Mr. Shampinzki was a tall man with thick shoulders and brown hair who wore an orange robe with two long purple stripes, and he wore thick square-shaped glasses.  He looked kind of spooky sometimes.  He would stare at you for a long time and then scream at you really loud, boy, he gave me the creeps.

I apologized, �Sorrrrrrrrrry,� I don�t think Lisa even noticed, she was daydreaming or something, so I apologized for her too, �Lisa is sorry too!�

Mr. Shampinzki said, �No, your not, and Lisa didn�t even notice!� He was scaring me again!  Creepy guy, how did he know Lisa didn�t notice?  And why can't he just give us a break?  Come on, be nice once in a while! 

Then he Mr. Shampinzki stopped screaming cleared his throat and announced, �We have a new student today,� then he shouted, �Come in!� and the door opened.

Then a girl entered, she was wearing a dark red cloak, with a black vest underneath.  She had long thick dark red hair, and dark red eyes.  She was creepy and sweet looking at the same time.  She had that look about her that made her look like she wanted to be your friend.  She sat down in the desk between Lisa and I. 

Mr. Shampinzki said, �Why don�t you tell us about yourself?�

The girl said, �My name is Rebecca,�

Mr. Shampinzki said, �Isn�t there anything else you want to tell us?�

Rebecca paused for a long while and sadly muttered, �Not really��

Mr. Shampinzki added, �Well, Rebecca is welcome here, I don�t think its necessary we know everything about her,� then he proceeded to write mathematical formula�s about blowing bubbles on the board.  They were very complex, and hard to understand, well for me, anyway!  But hey, I�m not really that smart�I wonder if Rebecca is?  Well, I guess I should talk to her, get to know her, I mean, she�s probably nice and all, and I want to welcome her!

I leaned over and talked to her, �Do you understand any of this stuff?  Its hard for me to understand, I really struggle with it everyday!�

Rebecca said, �I really prefer to be left alone��

I said, �Oh come on, you have to make friends!  My name is Crystal!  That girl on the other side of you is Lisa, she�s my friend!�

Rebecca said, �Really, I don�t see the reason for conversation��

I said, �So, do you understand this stuff or not?

Rebecca said, �Yeah, I do�now..can you leave me alone?  I�m really okay by myself,�

I said, �For now, but, I�m going to talk to you later!�

Then a kid from behind me, Harry, poked me.  I turned and he said, �Why you talking to her, I think she�s a freak,�  Harry was a short kid who wore yellow raggedy clothes, and had raggedy orange hair to match.  Harry was always teasing people and angering them.

I turned to him and said, �Hey, that�s not nice!�  I mean, come on!  She seemed nice to me, just a little shy and rude!

Harry said, �Yeah, she�s a freak alright, and that makes you one too,�

Hmph, he�s so mean.  Calling me a freak, calling her a freak.  I said, �Well, I think she�s nice, oh, and Harry, your Bubble Wand just fell off your desk� as the girl sitting next to him used her special powers to make it tumble off his desk.  Then she winked at me.  It was Alice, she wore white ghastly clothes all the time, and had bright red hair, the color of fire.  She was very tall, and was always one to barge in on someone else�s conversation if she thought she could make trouble.

Mr. Shampinzki had noticed us by now and screamed at us, �Stop it, all of you!  Blow your bubbles, triangles!�  Everyone besides Rebecca and I was able to blow their triangles perfectly, I blew a normal bubble.  I was so embarrassed. 

Mr. Shampinzki said, �Crystal, you get a F for today and what about you, �Rebecca?�  Oh come on, cant this guy give me a break?  He knows I struggle with this stuff enough, and now he�s picking on me some more, and now he�s picking on Rebecca, too, he�s so mean mean mean!

Rebecca slowly glanced up and Mr. Shampinzki.  Then she blew a mass of bubbles till it formed an image of Mr. Shampinzki,  Wow!  That�ll show him, Rebecca was the best bubble blower I have ever seen.  Mr. Shampinzki gasped and said, �That�s very impressive, but, it�s not a triangle� he frowned at her.  What a jerk, he was just jealous because Rebecca was better then him!

Then Rebecca blew her triangle, by this time, class was over.  I was relieved to get rid of Mr. Shampinzki.  We all got up, slowly, Mr. Shampinzki was first to leave then Rebecca, and then Lisa and I were last.  I was noticing something on Rebecca�s chair that looked weird, before I left though.  It was a weird slime like substance formed over the back of Rebecca�s chair, it was sort of yellow, but transparent enough to see the chair. I touched some to my hand, it was sticky, VERY sticky, it was hard to get off my hand now, and I wiped it off on her desk.  It smelled sweet though, like candy!  I was not about to taste the stuff, though!

I yelled out to Lisa, �Lisa, come here!!� it took awhile, but Lisa came back inside.  I said, �Look, what is this sticky goo on Rebecca�s chair?� I pointed at it.  I was freaked out by this stuff.  It was so sticky and gross!  Where did it come from?

Lisa said, �I don�t know, maybe someone made a big sneeze?�

I said, �What kind of sneeze does that?�

Lisa said, �Oh I don�t know you silly girl, a big one, that�s what kind!  Now we�re going to be late to our next class, too!�

I was getting worried about this slime, maybe it was poisonous!  Maybe Rebecca has some dangerous illness!  I said, �I want to figure out what this stuff is,�

Lisa said, �Then we have to find a container or something for it,� she giggled, �We�ll be scientists!�

I said, �Okay, you watch the goo�� Ill go look for something.

Lisa said, �Why am I watching it?� 

I wasn�t really sure why I had told her to watch it, but I had to come up with something!  I said, �I don�t know�maybe it will do something!�

Lisa said,  �Okay, ill watch it Crystal,�

Then I rushed over to Mr. Shampinzki�s desk and in a rush started opening his desk drawers, sorting through various papers about Bubble formula�s, then I found a jar filled with Bubble Wands.  This was perfect, just what we needed!  I uncapped it and poured the Bubble Wands onto his desk.  They covered his entire desk, what a mess I had made!  Then I walked back over to Lisa and asked, �How�s this?�

Lisa said, �I um, don�t know!!  Lets try it and see, okay?�

Then we scraped some of the icky slimy stuff into the bottle and capped it.  We left the mess in the table and rushed out of Mr. Shampinzki�s room, we were going to be late for our next class too.
