"No, you guys. I .. uh, really think that we should go look for them or something. I mean, what if something DID happen to them?" I said, relatively brave I feel. But looking around gave me less hope than I had hoped; I could see everyone's glaring, piercing eyes set on me; even Amy didn't seem to fully support my course of actions. I felt defeated before they even opened their mouths.
"Calm down, sparky; It's not worth worrying yourself over. She's probably having a hard time in the bathroom, or " he mimed drinking alcahol. But I knew Mrs. McHaggon and she was not a drinker. The others laughed, but i stayed solid as a rock.
"Leon, she's just sick. She gets sick." Amy smiled at me. I felt good then, as if the whole case of missing people had gone missing itself, and I could only think about her smile.
"I know. Of course she gets sick. Yeah." I said like a mindless zombie, having my brain been stolen by her gentleness and beauty. But then, HE put his arm around her again.
"Yeah, besides, the guards are out there prowling the streets." He snorted.
At that moment I lost it; I stood up. The romantic trance broken. I couldn't care less about the guards outside, I could go to detention, all to show how wrong he was. To show her what I knew. To tell her the truth. As I went to the door and looked back upon my classmates for the last time, I didn't feel stupid, I felt different.
"I don't care about guards. I'm gonna find them." I said bravely and left. Walking down the sterile Honors halls I felt mighty. I had left, just like that. They had told me I was wrong, but I felt like Churchill in my coat; they had tried to sit back, but I knew that I had to take action. I had to do something to get them back. This was just it.
I was full of adrenaline walking down the sleek hall, past the open doors and classes; every step squeaking and jeopardizing me being found and caught. But I continued until I was down the numerous white steps and out into the open area of the campus. I had done it! I was free! But just now, it had dawned on me that I had a plan, but that I knew nowhere to look for them. What if they weren't even in school, but sick? Or somewhere else. I felt a little stupid acting the way I did. Maybe I could go back, but no. That would mean I was wrong, I would be admitting I was an idiot. I couldn't. No, I should start looking for them. Where though? Maybe I could check out the back parking lot? Or maybe I could ask Mrs. Kehlmir in the library, she knew Mrs. McHaggan well. Well, I knew I had to go somewhere, standing here would only make me even more nervous. And possibly get me caught by the patrol troops.
