Troubles in the Galaxy

Saramus Dent’s headache had started to clear. He had just received a spacegram from his commander across the galaxy. He opened it with his blasto-gun. Green ink glowed against the sky. “Dent, we need you on that planet,” the spacegram said. “If you’re low on oxygen, find one of the oxygen banks hidden in the red rocks. But don’t abandon the galaxy, Dent. Whatever you do.”

Dent waited for the glowing ink to fade. Then, he stood up and groaned. Just when he got ready to ditch this weirdo galaxy once and for all, a spacegram had to come. Still, he had to admit that his commander was right. He couldn’t Just leave

Even though I almost make up a fake cough and headache the next morning, in the end I still go to school. I just hate breaking the rules. I think I’m probably the only kid at Halsey School who’s such a goody-goody. I’ve definitely seen Hildy run some Kleenex under the bathroom faucet before. Then, she’ll turn on her best sad face and exclaim, “Ew, Dad, look! My nose is dripping!”

My body feels the same as yesterday. Jumpy. Sweaty. I scan the faces of everyone in my homeroom class and between class periods. Is anyone looking at me funny? Is that a new thing, or did people always look at me funny? After second period, I pass Samantha Cho in the hall. I try to look away, pretend like I’m waiting to get a drink at the drinking fountain. She looks straight at me, her glossy black hair swinging against her cheeks. Her lips move as if she’s about to say my name. She’s forming a “D,” I just know it! I don’t wait to find out, though. Instead, I dive towards the water fountain. The water sprays all over my nose while Samantha swishes past behind me. I pretend to drink water until finally an eighth grader I don’t know taps on my back.

Um, dude. Turn’s up.”

Back at my locker before fourth period, I look in just to make sure that the notebook hasn’t magically appeared. It hasn’t. However, something else has: another note! It floats down from where my mystery notebook stealer must have shoved it through the locker door. I look around, but no one else has noticed. I snatch it up and unfold it.

You shouldn’t ignore me, are You ok?

Now this is confusing. A threat that I shouldn’t ignore this mystery person . . . mixed with a question about me being okay? No, I’m not okay. I’m freaked out! Who is this person? I have practically no friends at Halsey or anyone that I talk to, and yet somehow this certain person (I think of Hildy’s words) knows me—and where my locker is, too. The whole thing is too weird. What do they want? Maybe it’s like the mystery books I’ve read. Someone wants me to hand off a briefcase full of money in exchange for the notebook. Well, at least five bucks or something.
