Chapter #6He hides you by: Abc314   Jeremy quickly unzips his backpack and stuffs you inside. You are launched directly to the bottom of the nearly empty bag, and you land hard. The cloth bottom barely cushions your impact, so the landing is only slightly less painful than being blasted against the linoleum tile. You bounce once and lie still, dazed.
"Sorry, miss, I'll put it away," Jeremy said. You rub your head and sit up, sore and aching. A notebook towers over you on one side, and a hard plastic pencil case lies on the other side.
