“That's what I said, Carly.” he snaps as her face turns red and she faces towards Captain Shikenan, who's leaning back on his chair, someone slides into the seat beside me, but Captain Shikenan is too busy to notice the late person, but I'm not. As I turn to the seat on my left, my jaw drops to the floor, sitting in the seat...is Mikena. Perfect Mikena, who is never tardy to class, who always answers the questions correct and has perfect scores...is late. She must notice my gawking because her eyes colden, “There's a reason,” she whispers quietly, so no one but Lilabeth (on my right) and I can hear. Lilabeth nods in agreement, as I tune out Captain Shikenan's shouting. “Tell me.” I hiss in whisper joining in. Lilabeth, who wouldn't miss a chance of trouble making, answers, “We can only show you.” she's chomping on her gum, as confusion fills my face. This time, Mikena nodded, the conversation ended as Carsy returns to her seat and Captain Shikenan gets up.
