I never did do my homework last night. After that stupid phone call, I just laid back until I eventually fell asleep. I was fully dressed and the lights were still on when I woke up. So now it’s lunchtime and I have exactly twenty minutes to read these chapters and answer the questions. I decide to hit the school library so I can concentrate. It’s basically where all the nerd and computer geeks hang out reading comic books and talking computer stuff. Which translates to mean they’re hiding and trying to avoid getting beat down. I figured it didn’t matter since they’d be in their world and I’d be in mine.

So I am sitting in one of the back areas of the library trying to avoid drama, and don’t you know drama comes right over and sits down right next to me. Well, not actually next to me, but close enough. Drama is standing two aisles over and right behind where I’m sitting.

At first I’m not paying any attention to what they are saying. I figure it is either some horny couple wanting to do their thing in semiprivate or a couple of idiots reading out loud. Then they kinda get louder, ’cause now they are almost arguing. It sounds like it is two guys and a girl and it takes me a few minutes to figure out what they are talking about. They are bragging about how they broke in someplace and how they are planning on doing it again this weekend. My jaw drops. My mouth is wide open. I can’t believe what I am hearing. The first thing I think about is when Ursula told me the police were questioning students about the break-ins in the neighborhood. Oh, shit. I seriously should not be here right now, if they see me…

Then, even though my cell was on vibrate, it still makes a noise. Somebody is calling me. I grab it and stuff it in my pocket. Apparently they didn’t hear it because they just keep right on talking. I don’t really recognize any of the voices. But I know if I stay they’d know I was there and heard them talking. There is only one way out of the back area and one way in. I quickly gather my stuff and ease around the table. Just then, a couple of other students come running through the aisle laughing and throwing something between them.

The conversation ends abruptly and one of the guys comes out from behind the stacks. Peeking through the books, I see who it is, but at the time he doesn’t see me. The two kids playing around run past me and bump right into him. A slight shoving match begins as threats of bodily injuries are leveled. “What the hell are you doing back here, punk?” Boyce demands. Neither one of the two guys responds. They look like ninth graders and I swear they are about to pee their pants. They are petrified. But hell, I would be, too.
