Where are we Going?- Cora
Chapter 2
“RUBEEEE!!” I screeched. Obviously, my best friend, Ruby Jones, was throwing a prank on me again, as usual.
“Ruby, this dumb trick has to- MFFF!” Someone slapped their hand over my mouth. I opened my eyes, and even in the dark without my glasses, I immediately recognized the mischievous, dark brown eyes of my other best friend, Felix Willow, a boy who shared this dormitory with me, Ruby, and another boy named Sam. Of course only the cruel principal would think of boys and girls sharing one dormitory. But I don’t mind Felix- he’s not like other boys. He’s more calm, quiet, and is also one of the popular kids in the school- why couldn’t I do that? Be smart and popular at the same time? For some reason, Felix actually wants to be friends with me and unlike the rest of my friends, he doesn’t bully me for being a goody two shoes. Sam is- well, Sam is the complete opposite of him, in looks and characteristics.
Sam is so skinny people call him Ham as an exaggeration. He has puffy blond hair in a mini afro and teeth that belong to a rabbit. But of course, he’s one of those kids who break rules for fun.
Meanwhile, Felix has smooth black hair and dark brown eyes. He has a low voice and he’s very athletic.Yeah, he’s popular because girls go hysterical whenever they see him. WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE ME!!
So you can guess who I like having in my dorm and who I don’t.
Anyways, I sat up, put on my glasses, and looked at Felix. “If you’re going to kidnap me, you should do it now because I’m not even awake yet.” I yawned. Felix laughed. “How can you be so sarcastic when you’re half asleep?” His voice was quiet so that he didn’t wake our roommates.
“Meet me downstairs. I want to show you something.” He whispered, then walked away and quietly started going down the stairs.
“B-but Felix- it’s, like, the middle of the night!” I whisper-shouted after him. I heard him stop going down the stairs and laugh again. “C’mon, Cora, you’re with a ninja. They won’t catch you,” he teased, sticking his head back into the dorm.
“I’m not afraid of being caught. I’m just sleepy. Can we do this in the morning?” I said.
“You’ll love it,” he promised, swiftly walking into the dorm, taking my hand, and leading me towards the door.
“You are so annoying,” I muttered, grabbing my backpack. For some reason, I felt like I would be needing it. Together, Felix and I walked out the front door and into the cold night.
