Bits And Pieces

Zita


Wednesday! Art day! Yay!!! Today Ms. Tammi will teach us origami.

Our class files into th art room, a large room full of posters and art projects. Today a pack of origami paper sits at each table. Jenni starts getting all fidgety, and I can't help but wonder how many times this happens. Probably some number above 1 million.

In the middle of teaching us how to make an origami person, Ms. Tammi's eyes turn solid gold and her voice turns into a snake's. I've got no idea what's going on, but Jenni does. "Everyone, get out of the room." She sounds so persuasive that I almost walk out of the room, but I fight the feeling.

"No. Whatever's going on, I'm sticking with you." I can't leave while my best friend fights this... this thing!

"Okay, suit yourself. Call all the people under the list 'Demi-Friends'." She tosses me her phone. It's the same model as mine so I'm already typing as I catch the phone.

"Should I group call them?" She nods her head.

I type the command for a group call and put it on speaker. "I don't know who you are, but my friend Jenni and I need your help. Our art teacher's eyes turned gold and she turned all evil. And Jenni got a sword!"

A girl's voice speaks with the same certainity that was in Jenni's voice a moment ago. "Don't worry. We'll be there soon. With Leo's help we should be able to track your location." She's right. I shouldn't worry. I refuse to worry.

Then a very farmiliar voice speaks up. "Zita? Oh gosh, I thought you were dead! Where were you this whole time?"

I suppose it wasn't a time for scolding, but I didn't care. "Leo, Mrs. Key was worried out of her mind when you ran away! You should have at least kept contact with us!"

"Uh, Leo? Who's she?" Says a girl's voice.

"Annie, it's his life, not your's. He chooses when to be confusing."

"Seaweed Brain, I've told you not to call me that a million times!" Suddenly a group of teenagers in orange T-shirts burst into the room. they each close their cell phone and smile.

The one that Annie or whoever called Seaweed Brain pulls out pen and says "Leave her now."

Leo runs up to me and hugs me. He was practically my big brother for 2 years, but I have way more sense than he does. "Can't.... Breathe...." I manage to choke out, and he lets go.

"Sorry. But really, where were you all this time?"

Seaweed Brain clears his throat and says "Leo. Earth to Leo. Are you still in there?"

That horrible snake voice speaks again. "I'm only going to be here for a moment."

All seven teens turn towards her and say "Miley?"

The thing says "Sorry to make such a commotion, but I needed to tell you some thing. Bob says that he needs some help and can't find Nico."

"Leave Ms. Tammi now." says Jenni to the thing... Miley.
.
"Okay."

"We need to get you to Camp! We weren't sure about you, but now we are. Come on!"

Notes

I'll have more done by her at some point. Hope you liked it!
