The Breath Of Life novel Chapter 23

The deer struggled first, then it dropped to the ground...dead.

"Alright there you go guys eat up." I said walking off to the side. I felt a wet nose on my hand making me look down, realizing it was Tim.

"I have to go back to school or Tim will get upset. Bye, enjoy the meal." I said kneeling down, scratching behind his ears again.

I took off running with my bag on my shoulder, and followed the path back towards the school.

I arrived at the school looking around making sure no one saw me. I ran inside the school heading to I don't know where. I looked at the clock and it said 245.

I was late for gym.

I ran through the halls when I ran into someone. I fell onto the floor also with the person who ran into me. I looked up to see Zach on the floor, rubbing his head.

He looked up to see who bumped him, his I eyes went wide when it was me. "Sorry, do you know where the gym is?" I said getting up.

He was still on the floor, looking shocked that I was even talking to him. "Uhh..." That's all he said while glancing around to see if anyone was around.

"Alright, I'm leaving, thanks for the help." I left looking for the gym. Suddenly a hand came out, pulling me into a stop.

I turned around seeing Zach breathing heavy. "The gym is that way." He pointed to his left, where I see double doors.

I looked back at him, then looked down to see his hand still holding my elbow. I looked back up raising my eyebrow at him.

I cleared my throat, getting his attention. "Can you let go of my elbow, or you want me to do for you." I said getting mad that he is touching me.

He quickly let go of me, and walked to the gym. I followed him, and we both entered the gym. The teacher saw us, and blow his whistle.

"Where have you two been. Mr. Brown, I expect better from you." Mr. Sleep said to Zach.

Zach looked at me, then looked back at him. "Sorry, but I.. I had to ..." Zach stopped in his sentence, looking completely lost. I stepped up to Mr. Sleep and gave him my best smile.

"Sorry Mr. Sleep. I'm new here. Zach here was helping me, since this school is so big. I had to ask for help." I said with taking a big breath.

"That doesn't explain why you two are five minutes late." Mr. Sleep said stepping in front of me now. I can smell his breath in my face.
