Title: Finding Out Who
Chapter 4
Later that morning, during science class, we had the "quiet time" drill. It was
short, and pretty boring. We just hid in the corner farthest from the view of the window in
our door. And we turned the lights off. That was pretty much all. Little did I know, that as
the month passed, and it was late in May, that I would soon wish that I was huddling in a
corner with the rest of the class.
It started in math class a month after our first quiet time drill. We were learning
about decimals, and our math teacher was having us do a little quiz that I was already
done with. But I had for gotten to bring a book to read. So, I was just sitting there
wishing I had something to do.
Like many kids did, which was to say that they had to go to the bathroom, when
they just wanted to stretch their legs, I raised my hand and asked to use the rest room. I
didn’t really have to. I just wanted to walk around a bit, and get out of that stuffy math
room.
I started walking down the hall, toward the stairs that led down to the second
floor, where the bathrooms were. Hey, if I had the bathroom pass, and a teacher saw me
walking around the art room, I’d get into trouble! So I thought I’d walk to the girls
bathroom despite of the deadly aromas that waft out of it.
I looked into one of the fourth grade home rooms and saw Jeanette sitting and
doing some writing about a story she’d read. She told me about it a few days ago. I think
it was called Sam, the cat detective or something. But I was kind of in a daze when she
was telling me the story line.
Jeanette looked up from her work, and she saw me looking in at her. She waved. I
smiled and waved back.
That made me feel very happy. And it reminded me of a time when it was pouring
rain outside, and were talking on the phone, and we were looking out the windows of our
houses and looking at each other through some windows, even though the images that we
got of each other were blurry through the rain. That was one of the times that Jeanette and
I were actually kind of mellow. But other times, we were so hyper, and so happy, that we
felt fast enough, and light enough that we could "fly with the fairies", as my mom put it.
But that just made us want to pretend that we were fairies. But that was all when I was
younger.
