Chapter 36 - a very un-eventful chapter

Alex was outside before school, listening to his ipod under a tree. Not many people were
Outside, most doing last-minute homework or talking inside were it was warmer.
Alex didn’t mind the cold. It was the only time the school grounds were almost empty.
Then Alex saw sally come stomping through the gate and towards him.
She’s early, He thought.
Sally came and slumped down next to him, looking angry.
‘what did I do?’ said alex taking off his head earphones.
‘it not you’ she mumbled.
‘then what is it?’
‘isis’ she said, and then sally told him all about her last dream.
‘hmm… I’m sure he’s got a reason.’ Said alex.
‘I thought you were on my side!’ sally, sitting up.
‘I am. I’m your voice of reason’ alex said smugly.
Sally just pouted and rested her head on his shoulder. Alex offered her a earphone, and they listened to music until the bell rang.

First period was French. Sally took her seat next to Renée.
Renee looked sad about something again.
‘hi Ren!’ said sally as cheerily as she could. ‘what’s the matter?’
‘nothing’ she said, looking away.
Sally sighed.
She looked around. Alex was in front of her. Unfortunately, the desks were about two
feet apart. If she could throw a message to him…
Sally scrawled some messy writing on to a piece of paper, scrunched it up, aimed and threw.
It barely missed alex and landed on his desk. Alex looked back at her, then he read the paper.

Alex,
Ren’s all upset wat shod I do?
Reply here:




Frm sal.

Alex quickly wrote something and threw it back. Sally caught it and read:

Ask her stupid

Sally glared at the back of his head and just got on with her work.
Sally realised she had completely ignored the teacher and didn’t know what to do.
‘Miss!’ she called raising her hand. ‘what am I meant to do?’
‘oh sorry sally. Didn’t you hear?’ said the teacher disdainfully. ‘or were you too busy
sending love notes to your boyfriend here?’
‘HE IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND!!!’ yelled sally.
‘DETENTION, MISS CORONET! LEARN TO COMPOSE YOURSELF!’ her teacher
screamed back.
‘she will when you do’ said Alex, looking up lazily.
‘DETENTION FOR YOU TO YOUNGE MAN!’
‘miss-’
‘MISS LOTUS! DETENTION FOR YOU TOO! ALL BREAK! EVERONE GET ON
UNLESS YOU WANT DETENTIONS TOO!’

At the same time that morning, chloe and her friend felicity were doing PE.
More specifically, they were making their own gymnastic routines .
They had already finished early and practised, so now they were just chatting.
Felicity and chloe had been best friends for two years; ever since felicity moved
To japan from france. They were inseparable.
‘isn’t it so weird?’ felicity was saying ‘that our sisters both know each other?’
‘yeah’ said chloe. She had decided not to tell her friend about being a senshi.
‘hey did you hear about that hydra in the festival?’ said felicity.
Chloe turned to her.
‘yeah, so I heard from nina that sailor Jupiter helped stop it’ said felicity.
Pride welled up inside chloe. Even before she had learnt sailor Jupiter was her
Own sister, chloe had always admired the green clad senshi.
‘and I also heard there was a bunch of new senshi that fought with her. I
wonder who they were? And I also saw on TV these two guys that helped the senshi out.
They were sooo hawt’ said felicity.
Chloe smiled to herself. Felicity would probably like cerion if she met him, but alex …
not so much.

Second period was chemistry for sally and alex.
Since alex had rushed off to the lavatory, sally found her at the chemistry room before him.
She got all her things out and stared at the door for any sign of alex.
The class was almost all there now.
The teacher, Miss. Noako, was just about to start when there was a gentle rap on the door.
‘come in’ said miss. Noako.
A girl stepped in. she had long blonde hair and inquisitive blue eyes. She had a pleasant aura, but there was something different about her. Something unnatural, wrong and …
Dangerous.
Sally just shrugged it off.
‘excuse me miss.’ Said the girl in a sweet voice. ‘ I’m new. My name is Monica Erebos.’
Sally looked up. It was all very strange.
‘welcome to our class monica!’ said the teacher ‘everyone be nice to mionca. Its not easy being new. Why don’t you take a seat next to sally over there?’
monica sat down on the seat alex would have normally occupied.
Sally turned to the blonde girl.
‘weren’t you meant to come yesterday?’ she asked bluntly.
‘there was a … situation. I rather not talk about it’ said monica.
Sally nodded and looked away.

It was fifteen minutes before the end of chemistry. Alex still wasn’t back.
Sally was very worried.
Suddenly the door burst open.
Alex came staggering in. Half of his left sleeve was ripped of and other patches of his
Clothes were also missing. On his left cheek there was a little cut that was trickling blood.
‘sorry I’m late miss’
‘SORRY YOUR LATE? YOU TRUENT FOR OVER HALF OF MY LESSON AND
THEN YOU STRUT IN HERE FIFTEEN MINUTES BEFORE THE BELL IN THAT
STATE! WHAT IS YOUR EXCUSE!?’ shouted Miss. Noako.
‘well my excuse is that I got locked in the toilet and there was a rabid ferret thing in there,
and it beat the cr*p out of me.’
‘ONE HOUR DETENTION TODAY YOUNGE MAN!’
Alex just sighed and took a seat.

Sally was walking to her French class for detention when someone took hold of her hand.
She turned to see alex with a serious look on his face.
‘sally, we need to talk.’ He whisperd.
Sally nodded.
They weaved through the crowded hallway until they found a broom cupboard.
Alex checked the door.
It was open.
After making sure no one was watching, they went in.
‘alex why were you so late?’ whispered sally.
‘I was attacked’
sally gasped.
‘here? How?’
‘I don’t know. Do you think who everis sending the monsters knows who we are?’
They were silent for a little while.
‘no. they can’t …’ she trailed off.
‘look we better get to that detention.’ Said alex after a while.
‘yeah’ said sally.
She began to reach for the door but then she turned round and hugged him.
' im glad your ok ' she whispered.
Then she left.

Fourth period was IT for trinity, aqua and pai.
‘woah! What magnificent contraption is this?’ said pai in wonder, staring at her computer
screen. She had been making exclamations like that all day.
‘its called a computer pai’ said aqua.
‘wow! What do we do with it?’
‘well for starters, we turn it on like this’ trinity instructed, pressing the on button.
‘freezing!’ said pai, clapping her hands.
‘but all the heaters are on!’ said aqua.
‘hmm? But isn’t ‘freezing’ what humans say when they see something they find intriguing and wonderful but yet out of their reach?’ said pai, now confused.
‘oh! He he he, I think you mean cool pai!’ giggled aqua.
‘oh yes, that’s it.’ Said pai, happy with herself for remembering.

****************

at the end of the day, sally sent a text to trinity, renee, aqua, chloe and serena
(pai dosen’t have a phone yet but she does come because she lives with trinz) to come
and meet her at her house.
Once everyone was there and had settled in, she told them the news.
‘today, alex was attacked by a monster at school’
