He shuddered upon increasing the shower. He sure hadn't felt the cold before Andrew came in, he was sure. His mood had suddenly turned from happy to sour. He ruffled his soapy head and washed his torso. He scrubbed his skin down angrily and watched as his arm turned red. He splashed some water on his face, hesitating when it came to his lips, reminiscing about how he'd kissed Ashley with those same lips.

He switched on the higher and watched the soap flakes disapear down his body in puddles, then disapearing down the drainage hole. Finished, he took his towel and wiped himself dry. He tied the towel on his waist. He pushed the door open, approached his wardrobe and threw out some casual clothes on

    Hunter cycled lazily on his bike. He mostly kept to the bicycle lane, careful to avoid traffic. The cars and motorists moved slowly, typical of Californian street roads. Honks and curses interchanged each other as they flowed, a never ending stream of rude remarks and quippy quotes.Hunter watched the world wheeze by his bike. He watched a woman wheeling a baby cart down the street. He saw a child playing outside on the lawn. He saw the billboard advertising a generic soap. He saw the troops of people moving into the movie theater.He saw a traffic warden sticking tickets on the cars who'd over stayed their parking pass. He saw the laughing trio of girls, shopping bags hooked under the crevices of their arms. He saw the black man ahead helping an elderly lady into her house.

But Chirag was determined and took nine short paces to the table.With a jab, he yanked the lizard out of the sauce and laid it reverently on the ground.

    Josh was back in the hospital with a lunch bag containing two hot dogs and a burger which had stripped lettuce inside."Thanks" Mrs. Grimshaw said as she pushed herself up on the bed. "I could smell it from outside. Wait. Let me guess" she said as Josh passed her the lunch bag. "Uhhhm. There's a burger inside, right?" she guessed."Yes. Guess again""Pizza" Josh's smile brightened."Congratulations. You just failed the quiz"Mrs. Grimshaw's smile dropped. "What a killjoy" she muttered. She opened the lunch bag and munched hungrily on the hot dog. "How sure are that it isn't Rex that's this?" he asked."It may or may not be him. How does Rex taste anyway? Have you snuck a bite off him before?""Brave. I agree. Spicier. I couldn't agree more" They laughed in systematic harmony."Mom, how did you that Mr. Preston is my dad?"

    Her eyelids blinked slowly and her short eyelashes blinked rapidly in consternation at the blinding light. It stung her eyes, leaving behind a trail of peppery liquid oozing out of her eyes. After getting used to the light, she looked around the room. By pressing her hand on the bed, she could tell that she was lying on a firm mattress. The wall was white and the blinds hanging from the windows had the same shade of white. An oxygen breather was covering her nose and mouth. She pulled it off, scrunching her nose at the smell of antiseptic soap and bleached walls. Fresh air suddenly wasn't so fresh after all.A glance at her body told her that she was in a hospital bed which also meant that she was in a hospital. She was clad the a spotted white hospital gown. Her hand was hooked to an IV drip and another machine monitored her heartbeat in synchronized steps.Beep..... A pause. Beep.... Another pause.

Take a look"Hunter said, unveiling the packet of cocaine from his pocket.Zoey gasped, grabbing it from his hand and sniffing it."How did you know it's cocaine? It doesn't smell and this could be powder for all we know"she argued." If it was powder it would have fragrance, wouldn't it?"Chirag asked." I guess"Zoey said" Hunter's mom has already confirmed that it is cocaine"Josh countered." You say what now?"Zoey quipped."My little brother Andrew showed it to her, so I'm now grounded for a year."Hunter said glumly."Cheer up"Chirag said"Ashley could be passing by right now for all we know.""Really?

Hunter asked "The principal said Jerry's body is in one St. John's morgue."Where may that be?" Zoey wondered. "I didn't there was a morgue in Westlake"." How come I haven't heard of it before?" Chirag asked. Zoey rolled her eyes." You've been here only a month, that's why" she replied "okay this is the end of the road guys" Zoey said giving Hunter and Josh brief side hugs."Bye" she said waving to them.

    " Chirag, wait a minute" Hunter said. "What about that stuff you told me in school. I still haven't understood it. One minute, Zoey tells me a kid called Jaden slumped in the Economics class, now you're saying someone else died in that same class?"" It could just be a misunderstood rumor. Maybe they thought Jaden died because he was carried by the students". Josh suggested." I don't think it is" Chirag defended. " I heard it from Dorathy". The boys groaned collectively." Dorathy?" Zoey asked in disbelief. " Dorathy is the biggest talkative in school. 99% of the things she says aren't true. If Dorathy tells the truth, then I'm the queen of England. Do you know last year she spread a rumor that she saw the principal and a senior alone in his office after school hours? She almost got herself expelled"."

    The throng of other recruited janitors fill the halls as they burst the balloons and bag them in huge trash bags. The loud burst of the huge balloons keep interrupting the teachers in mid sentence. Frustrated lines are creased onto Mrs Julia Roberts's face and Hunter is very sure he can spot a few gray hairs on her head. Economics class was no child's play. Mrs. Roberts was interrupted every now and then by the sporadic 'pop' sound the balloons made as they burst. In her hands was a large marker which she used to draw illustrations of the board to enunciate her point. The economics class was very quiet today. Mrs. Roberts was known to be very tongue lashing with her words. Her outward appearance was plain mean. She was in her late thirties and as far as Zoey knew, she always wore matching suit and skirt to school. She was on the lean side of tall and sported blond hair pulled tightly into a bun. Today's topic was Inflation which she had made sure to circle round on the markerboard. "Be

    The door opened just as Hunter was about to finish his sentence. A tall, lanky nurse stepped into the room. She was dressed in a knee length, nurse uniform complete with a matching flat cap. She didn't look friendly."Is he awake?" She asked.Zoey nodded yes."I'll have to ask you girls to wait outside. I want to do some checkups".Reluctantly, Zoey pushed up from her seat. Ashley wasn't ready to go out yet but the stern look on the nurse's face simulated her body upwards.
