I was only sentenced to pris-I mean detention until lunch, so as soon as the bell rang, I dashed out of the room. There were only a few minor injuries. The moment I entered the cafeteria, a hand grabbed my shoulder causing me to quickly stop and lose my footing. Looking up at the culprit, I see Sam.

"You alright Tori?" she asks.

"Fine, thank you," I huff. She helps me up and we grab our trays full of nasty cafeteria food and make our ways to our seats.

"Where the blowfish were you all day? I've been looking all over the school for you! When you didn't meet me by my locker after second period, I was worrid," Sam scolds.

"Chill, I got detention. We can talk about it later."

"Just don't EVER do that again." Geez, why is she so up in arms about me being in detention?

She stares at me for a while expecting an answer. "FINE, but is no reason to freak out over detention Momma Sammy."

We grab our flavorless lunches and sit at our typical spots in the cafeteria. "This looks like I should be trying to grow a plant or something out of in Talent Building. You know what I mean?" I glance up to see Sam staring blankly at her tray. "Sam?" I say waving my hand in front of her face.

"Huh?" She says snapping her head up quickly to meet my eyes. "Sorry, I was just kinda staring into space. What did you say?"

"Uh? Don't worry about it." Sam seems to be acting, well, weird. Maybe it's just me. My stomach grumbles to remind me that it is necessary to eat. I dig into the mush on my plate.

After taking our trays to some water talents to clean, Sam and I head back to our room to hang out for a while. This is our free period. We got REALLY lucky to get free periods together. The dorms are connected to the school, so we aren't technically leaving school grounds.

I jump on my bed simultaneously turning grabbing the remote for the radio. Carry On My Wayward Son starts playing. As soon as we heard the first notes, Sam and I make eye contact and start singing.

"Don't you cry no more!" We both sing out of breath from dancing. This is why it's great being friends with Sam.

We both set alarms to wake us up ten minutes before the bell rings. I help Sam into her tank and I lay in bed hoping to get a quick nap.
