It was a cold autumn day when Sydney and I walked to school together. She was bundled up in her warmest fleece, and I was shivering in my shorts, which for some odd reason I always wore.

"Hey, Lucy-" said Sydney smiling down at me. "I'm glad you're my friend." I smiled back up at her and gave her a big hug.

"Aw, me to-" I said, "Squid." Sydney looked shocked, and I began running. She quickly followed, and as she was in many sports, she caught up fast.

We began walking again, and silence ensued. We let the fallen leaves crunch beneath our feet. Since we lived in an area where fall came rather quickly, the leaves were already golden, red, bright orange, brown, and very few were green. I finally broke the silence.

"Um, so, who's class are you in this year?" I asked. She shrugged.

"Mr. Quimby." She said. "I heard he's a little mean."

"Hey, so he's like the dad from the Ramona And Bezus books! That would be pretty cool!" She nodded and grinned.

"I remember those books! I used to love them. I still have the whole series on my bookshelf at home!" She said. I laughed.

"So do I! I still read them sometimes." I muttered.

Just then, we spotted the school, no less than a mile away. We looked at each other, and then both ran towards the school at lightning speed.

Sydney beat me by about half a second, and we began laughing.

"So close! I was soooo close!" I panted. Sydney was snickering.

"No you weren't! You tried though!" 

I frowned, and Sydney and I walked into the tall building. We had been going to the Middle School for two years, and this would be our third.

We spilt off to go to our first hours, and I walked down the long winding hallways. I stop by my locker to get my book, pencil, iPad, and notebook. 

I  noticed my classroom door was open, so I walked in. My home room teachers name, (for the sake of this story, let's call her..... Mrs. Shmine) was Mrs. Shmine. 

I noticed she was talking with another teacher. He patted her on the shoulder, and suddenly, her eyes lit up.

She stood up, and started slowly walking to the door. 

I went up to the other teacher, and asked him what had happened, and where she was going. 

"Oh, she's just going to the boiler room." He said smirking.

I looked back up at him with a shocked face. 'The boiler room!' I thought, 'She's going to die if she's in there to long!'

I had gotten very suspicious of this new sub....
