pointing to a little smudge that looks more like dirt then blood. I don't even think that he has a scratch there. But I go along with it and lightly touch my lips to his arm. His skin is soft and smooth while the muscles underneath are rock hard.
“There, there all better. Now come on you wuss, keep up.” I say as I head off again, shaking my head, making him chase me. The remainder of the run we flirt outrageously with each other and talk about our classes before arriving back at my starting point.
"What are your plans for lunch today Trish?” he asks as we warm down.
"I always have lunch with Chelsey in the cafeteria. You and Eddie should join us."
Keagan takes a step towards me and gives me a light peck on the cheek whispering in my ear, "I would like that a lot!"
Butterflies and Goosebumps appear all at once.
I glance at my watch to hide them and notice that it is already 6:20, which means that we only have forty minutes to get ready before classes start.
"We better hurry, we might miss the start of class" I yell at him while running up the stairs to my room.
I take a swift shower, dress and grab breakfast in record time. I arrive in Mrs. Z’s, classroom about twenty seconds before the bell rings.
Mrs. Z teaches my favorite lesson, Witchcraft and Wizardry. I think I like the class so much because of her, the way she teaches, it really makes things come alive in my head. I slide into my seat with a sigh of relief and can’t wait to find out what we are going to talk about today.
One of the things I really like about this place is the variety in classes that they offer here and most of the ones that I am taking I can get college credit for too.
I bet most people have never taken a single class on witc hcraft, simply dismissing it as fictional. But we have talked about some things that make you stop and think, for example last Tuesday Mrs. Z tried to convince us all that Zombies are in fact real. She said that there is something called The Solanum Virus. It is found in some beetroots and potatoes. Supposedly, the virus begins transforming the body from human into a zombie once the infected vegetable is eaten. It basically slowly eats away at the brain, causing all bodily functions to cease, all traces of personality, individualism and your ability to speak to disappear. Your soul is essentially lost forever.
Zombies have only one need; to feed. Their meal of choice: humans. One bite can pass on the virus and if you aren’t completely eaten you become a zombie too . Once Mrs. Z explained how the whole process worked she opened it up to the class to discuss whether they thought zombies could exist. This caused some heated debate. But at the end of the class I have to say that I still thought the idea was preposterous.
It’s amazing what we learn in this class. I wonder what todays' lesson will bring. I look around at my peers. The girl from the hallway, Kristina, is in this class with me. She catches my eye and gives me a little wave. I return the gesture and for my efforts get rewarded with a friendly smile. Mrs. Z starts her class right on time. She is a little different to most of the other teachers I have ever known, as you might expect. Just like her class I guess.
Starting with her wardrobe, she wears long flowing robes, almost like a monk. Today’s is dark green. She has her hair up in a hair tie of the same color too.
After saying good morning to us all she just walks up to the chalkboard and without a word begins to write the words ‘Witches Vs Warlocks’ as she writes her sleeve falls, revealing a plethora of bracelets, in every color. They go all the way up to her elbow. The sunlight that streams though the window reflects off of them, making them glimmer.
Once finished writing she begins to speak "Class, this week’s assignment is a group task." This has everyone tal king, immediately asking friends to be in their group. This is a first for this class, we usually work
