12. [Rise of the Earth Kingdom: Chapter One]

Amelia dashed down the halls of the school, trying to get to class before she was late. Aside from two or three other people who didn't even care about class, she was the only one in the hall and the bell was going to ring in less than a minute.

She saw her class up ahead and she sped up and when she reached the door she tripped over her own feet and fell into the classroom as the bell rang.

Various people in the class laughed and her teacher shook her head.

"Nice of you to join us Amelia. I wish I could say it's nice to see you here on time, but your feet are outside the door." The teacher slowly approached her and pointed at her feet.

Amelia slowly pushed herself up then looked up at her.

"Mrs. Lewinski! That's not fair! The rest of me is in here!" Amelia quickly scrambled to her feet and grabbed her bag.

"If I have one more tardy I won't be able to compete in the school talent show! Can you please let me slide, just this once?" Mrs Lewinski shook her head and pointed to Amelia's desk.

"Just go sit down Amelia, we'll discuss this later. I have a class to teach now." Amelia nodded and walked to her seat.

When she sat down the girl next to her slipped a piece of paper onto her desk. Amelia slowly picked it up and read it.

The note consisted of nothing but the awesome face. Amelia tried not to laugh when she saw it. She looked over at the girl who gave her the paper and she was holding a sign that said "LOL!"

Amelia couldn't help it anymore and started laughing as did the girl next to her.

"MISS JAMES AND MISS NATHANSON! WHAT ON EARTH IS SO FUNNY?" Mrs. Lewinski shouted.

"Ah nothing Mrs. Lewinski! We're sorry!" The other girl apologized.

"Good, now can we continue with class?" Amelia and the other girl nodded. Mrs. Lewinski went on with what she was talking about.

Amelia leaned over to the other girl.

"So Emily, how's the story you're writing going?" she asked, looking over at her notebook.

"Not so well I'm afraid. I've been hit with writer's block." Amelia reached into her bag and pulled out a CD.

"Try listening to this! This helps me when I can't think of anything to write for our essays in English!" Emily slowly took it, looking down at it.

"Ilrek?" she asked, handing it back. Amelia nodded.

"Yeah, a lot of her songs are very upbeat and she has a few that are mellow too!" Emily smiled.

"She sounds interesting. We can listen to it when we do our homework today."

"I think you'll like her songs."

"She's not like Madame Goo is she?"

"Ah, no! She's much better and cleaner!" Emily smiled.

"Good, I can't stand Madame Goo." Amelia laughed quietly.

"Me either. She's just... horrible." Emily laughed too.

Mrs. Lewinski slammed a paper onto Emily's desk.

"Congratulations you two. You've caused the class to have a pop quiz." Emily and Amelia looked up to see almost everyone in class glaring at them. Amelia sunk down in her seat and Emily hung her head.

"Sorry guys..." Amelia muttered.

Mrs. Lewinski placed another paper on Amelia's desk and proceeded to hand out the quiz to the rest of the class.

As she walked away the girls started to work on their quizzes, ignoring the glares they got from the rest of the class.
