I have a black eye.
Today we all had our lockers searched for drugs or whatever. I wasn't worried, but some kids were. You never know when there might be a surprise search here in Hadley. That's why you never do drugs, especially in school. Idiots.
Back to the eye.
I can barely see out of my left eye. No, this wasn't an accident.
I was leaving school, while holding books in my hand that didn't fit in my backpack. It was just a normal walk home.
I was tapped on the shoulder, which of course I turned around to. It was Savannah. She didn't look happy.
"So you think you can go around telling people you made out with me?" She snapped.
"What? I..."
"Save it! Just shut up already! My God, you are... ugh. Just... I can't even look at you right now. Who do you think you fucking are?" She looked more angry than I have ever seen a person. She shook her head, still glaring at me, then turned to walk away. I was still standing there, looking back at her.
She came back, running. Knocked the books out my hand, and all over the ground. I just stood there in disbelief, not saying a word. This attracted some attention. I heard some boys say, "Ooh..." as if they were cheering on Savannah.
There was a big circle around us. I still said nothing.
She clenched her fist.

Next thing I knew, I was in the nurse's office, laying on a bed.
"Oh good, you're awake." Said the nurse.
"W... what happened?" I asked, shakily.
"The little curly haired girl...knocked you out." she muttered. Savannah? Why would she do that? I couldn't remember a thing.
"Well, is she suspended or something?" I asked her.
"Probably. Principal Agosto is still trying to figure out how long he should suspend her for. I'm guessing a week or so."
Minutes later, my mom came rushing into the nurse's office.
"Are you ok?!" She screamed, looking at my eye. It hurt.
I went to the bathroom, and saw black and blue all around my left eye. This was bad.

Cloud Rider
James loves his perch at the bottom of the ship. It’s the best place to watch the clouds slide by beneath him. Though, more than that, he enjoys the spot because it gives him a clear view of the Divers as they descend below the clouds to the ruined world beneath. The knowledge of how the world became a ball of dust and wreckage faded with time until it was ultimately forgotten. James doesn’t doubt the word of the Divers. Why would he? He wants to be one of them one day, after all. Nor does he doubt the word of Shamran, the fleet’s captain. But James knows what he saw—a flash of green through the blanket of white clouds. Not only does he know what he saw, he also knows where he saw it. So, when no one believes what he’s seen, James decides to take matters into his own hands. What he discovers may change the fleet forever and may pit the people he has lived his entire life with against each other.
