Chapter 1

Schist Happens

Sarah's life was ok.

There wasn't really anything fulfilling with adventure or excitement or anything worth crying over about, but she did not mind.

Life was good.

Life was simple.

She was just a good visual arts middle school teacher, and sometimes kids fought for seats closer to the front hoping Miss Sarah would choose on them for the examples. She was one of the few teachers to really care and listen to kids problems.

However, today was different. Today was field trip day. Today, three Science classes got to take a tour at a wilderness landmark park to hopefully get them inspired, who knows what for.

Every child was given a list of items to hunt for, and write down the answers. This was so they are not just fooling around most of the time out, and extra credit if they wanted it. Most of the students ended up throwing the papers away as soon as they got off the buses anyway. Some really were ready to hunt for science, and others who kept the paper, but were not really sure if they should or should not because it may not be cool enough.

Sarah was told, last minute, that she will be helping watch over the groups of students and keep eyes on them.

The Vice Principal for some reason hated her from the start the moment she got hired. Neither women had a boyfriend to steal from, they never went to the same university that she knew of, and Sarah didn't think she knew of any daily public places that she goes to to ruin it, like Starbucks that she goes to religiously. They might have expensive coffee, but darn good frappuccinos. She had no clue what she could have done to the Vice Principal to make her watch her like a hawk, or give her the most difficult children, or deny her better school supplies for the classes.

The Vice Principal must be laughing maliciously back at the campus because she knew she could not refuse. Sarah always likes to arrive earlier in mornings to set up the classes, even though she is not a morning person. However, that's how Vice Principal got her. She did not mind helping students, but that's only if they wanted the help.

The good news is her backpack was already prepped for a short trip or walk, everything she really needed on the go. Yes, even teachers have them too, but it wasn't as big as a students. She didn't need it big because she wasn't the one with heavy school books anymore. She had extra cash, the latest paper book reading material (and yes they still exist) of "Good Omens" by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, her MacBook Pro laptop to prep the next set of class lessons keeping things well organized, a sketch book with the accessories, her simple cell phone for work, an iPod touch that has just some games and most of her music, and finally a solar powered charger which she uses all the time for all her electronics. Yep, this was going to be a long day.

The bus ride to a wilderness park wasn't a fun one. Kids that really liked her tried to sit next to her and want to show their latest drawings or stories. Kids in the back of the bus were creating the loudest of noises, and most of the others just talked amongst themselves. There has only been once or twice she and the other teacher had to really yell at them to knock it off in the back because of language or being stupid too loudly. However, one student on that bus was not really mingling with anyone else. He was just minding his own business doing his homework earlier on the ride there.

Well why not! It's technically an off day so filling it in to do something that is important to him was better than not doing anything at all.

The bus ride finally came to their first stop out of three. The first site was of rocks and cliffs where it meet a forest. This part of the "fun" was suppose to locate the different rocks like schists, granites, and/or gneisses.

The teachers had to make sure they didn't go too far from the buses, or anyone getting left behind. However, bullies usually found ways to get out of sight and have their "fun" for the day. This day just seemed too perfect. There were so many opportunities to be outside of reach to many teachers eyes. This day was the day that one kid minding his own business on the bus, yeah him, was the pick of the day and nonstop "fun" from the kids in the back of the bus that were mostly made up of all the jocks, and Antony was the captian of them all.

At this location, once everyone was off the bus spreading out like fireworks, Chris, one of Antony's followers, started throwing little rocks at him along with two other jocks and screaming out "hey nerd can you guess what this rock is?" They continued to threw another rock at him until they got caught and played it off like they were not doing anything at all.

Sarah saw this and needed to figure out a way to make them stop without making him look like a wimp or some other way to stop their harassments all together. Which was not easy enough to control because of their juvenile behaviors. Even being called to get back on the buses they couldn't help but shove him out of the way causing everything to fall out of his hands.

Sarah had enough. As soon as everyone was on and the door closed, she stood up and announced

"Because some of you tend to not be taking this seriously, for the next stop anyone who does not show me they are doing their work will get a detention. Because you are acting like wild animals I will treat you like one. I will be watching if you are doing your own work or not. Do I make myself clear?"

A lot of moans and groans went around the bus. Sarah screams louder,

"DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?"

"Yes Miss Sarah" everyone on the bus said.

She sat back down and tried not to look at the boy to see if he was smiling and laughing in the inside at the situation the other students got, for fear it might make him the target again.

Next part of the tour was this big river. Mysteriously in the middle of the river lies a big sinkhole which was created a long time ago. Some researchers think it is a part of a limestone that just finally gave out, and others think a hole was created before the river formed. They could never really find the answer because getting near that hole was too dangerous. So only speculations and hypothesis was to be concluded. They have tried taking images from above and scanned topographic waters to see how far the water goes. And yet, the mystery still remains.

As the bus comes to a stop, everyone is handed out new papers for the new location before getting off. One by one the students got the paper by the door from another teacher on that bus. However, the lonely boy wanted to be the first one off, so he doesn't get tripped by anyone, but just when he was about to pass Miss Sarah she gently pulled the boy over to her and said "stay right here we need to have a talk when I'm finished". The boy's eyes got so big it was like a deer in the headlights. He didn't know what he did, and knows very well he didn't do anything, so why did she make him wait?

As the jocks were getting off, being as they were the last on the bus, they gave him the stare down facial expression 'if you ever snitch, you are dead meat' look.

Final student walks off Sarah then turns around.

"Tobias!"

The student heard her say with eyes widening even greater, if possible, surprised she knew his name.

"You are not in trouble I promise."

He seemed to cool down a little.

"However," Sarah began to say "this doesn't mean I am blind. I know what is going on, and I want to tell you something important."

Tobias looked puzzled, and yet very intrigued because a teacher was going to give him information he could use.

"There is a lot of schist out there, and because of that you shouldn't take it for granite. Just as long as you are having a gneiss day which is the most important part of the day. Do you understand, Tobias?"

The student was dumbfounded, yet after a few seconds he began to laugh. It was all to funny. Tobias was ready for a lecture but got smartass jokes.

"You see? Do you feel a little better now?" Tobias nodded his head.

"Good, now go have some fun. You don't need to do the paperwork because I know you already did it." Sarah pointed out.

Tobias smiled some more before running off. Sarah knew she really couldn't help his situation, but hoped he learned a better lesson in life. Laugh when you can, even if you are having a bad day. However, he needed to find the courage to stand up for himself in this case, but she will be there if it gets too crazy on either sides.

As Tobias was getting near the bridge, where everyone was, the jock boys walked up and cornered him. Antony, with his arms crossed, spoke up in a mocking voice.

"Well well well. What did you tell the teacher?"

"Nothing" Tobias stuttered in fear.

"Oh really? Then what did she tell you that made you laugh?"

Antony pointing and poking at Tobias's chest.

"Just have a gneiss day!"

(In which they only hear "have a nice day")

"You think this is funny?" Antony threatened.

"No no I just..." Tobias began before being cut off by Antony.

"Well let's see how funny you are in the water."

"No wait, no please."

Tobias screamed as Antony's followers pulled him to the middle of the bridge.

Sarah watched the scene from afar, but couldn't hear anything because she was at the hilltop with the buses looking over everyone. However, the screaming from the bridge could not be quieted. She saw the group of boys together walking over to the middle and what looked like Tobias being pulled. She quickly started running to the bridge before anything bad happened.

The boys stopped at the middle of the bridge and got closer to the rails and lifted Tobias over their heads as Antony tells him...

"Hope you know how to swim! Maybe next time you won't be so rude."

And they throw him over and into the river.

"NO!" Sarah screams out.

Arriving a little too late. She looks at Antony with hatred eyes.

"What have you done?"

Antony was taken back and still not taken this seriously,

"What he said he wanted to see the fish!"

Sarah wasn't impressed and without thinking she got on top of the rails and jumped in after him. Sarah swam over to Tobias who was having some trouble staying above water. Sarah paddling as fast as she could to get to him. They were getting to close to the rivers sinkhole. Finally grabbing a hold of him she asked him to hold on to her as she paddled even harder back. The current wasn't much, but still not any easier with a second person around your neck. As she was getting closer other teachers were running to the middle of the bridge in to help. The jocks walked away not really caring. However, they were stopped by their gym teacher, who saw the whole thing and was also asked to help watch over them as well. They were in big trouble now.

Meanwhile, Sarah finally gets to the bridge and tries to help lift Tobias up into other teachers hands the best she could. She wasn't in shallow waters, but she could hold on to the bridges beams. She was kicking her legs as hard as she could to keep up the lifting until he was safe in there arms. Just as Tobias's hands linked with teachers pulling him up and over, something felt like it was tangling around Sarah's ankles. Still holding on to the bridge however, the power kicking from earlier already had done it's duty. Now it felt like whatever was tangled was really pulling on Sarah so much she was slowly losing grip. One of the teachers looked down and said

"Sarah give me your hand!"

However, every time she took off one hand from the beam she felt the pull again when reaching out to the teacher. She grabbed the beam again with both hands.

"Sarah we can pull you up" they yelled.

"I can't. There is something around my ankle. It keeps pulling at me when I try to reach up" she yelled back.

She heard the teacher's discussing what to do next. They yell back down again...

"We have an idea. We are going to get the emergence rope from the buses. Hold on."

"Ya, easy for you to say you don't have something tugging at your ankle," Sarah murmured.

The pulling seemed to be getting greater and Sarah was losing grip fast.

"Hurry!" She screamed.

Just when one of the teachers was running back, the tangled item yanked Sarah hard enough to make her grip loosen completely from the beam. Because of the force she slightly goes under, but she swims right back up using her arms like she was taught as a little girl when you are not able to use your legs anymore. Just as she was coming up for air she noticed she was already too far from the bridge to grab on to something. The teachers were desperately try to throw the rope far enough for Sarah to grab it, but the current was taking her farther and farther away from them and closer and closer to the hole the more she stopped swimming to grab the rope. Sarah paddled harder and faster with the strength she had left, but she was getting tired to fast from already helping the student get out. Her arms were burning and her feet couldn't really help much because something was still tangled on her ankle. She needed to swim away now before it was to late. She decided if she can't get to the bridge or stop to get the thing untangled, so maybe the river edges could supply a way out. It's better to go to the big rocks and get cut up than losing your life being swallowed down a rivers sinkhole to never to get out again. But, as she was starting to swim towards the rocky edges that little tangle became an even greater struggle than before. Now everything was burning and she wasn't even closer to her goal, but farther from it. The sounds of swirling doom behind her were getting closer and louder. Her pulse was beating so fast the water wasn't cooling anything down quick enough. Sarah was losing the battle fast. She paddled as best as she could muster, but to no avail.

"Oh hell," was all she could say to herself.

The water's current got a hold of her and pulled her into the grounded hurricane. All of the students and teachers could only watch as one of their teachers gets trapped into the wildernesses sinkhole. Just as they saw Miss Sarah's last struggle to stay above water, one student screamed, some even cried, but mostly all just stared out of fear of what they just witnessed.

A/N: Some of these ideas I get from life which helps make the stories. For explain, the science jokes are from my college professor. She was hilarious in my eyes. We were learning rocks so why not throw some bets in there to make people laugh.

Let me know what you think by leaving a comment.

Did I miss something?

Was it too fast? (Well to bad!)

Do you know who the Warriors of Virtue are to read this story?

Do you care enough or is it cool enough to be on its own and not worry about the movie?

Can you guess what might happen? Well can you?
