Awakened: Artie's Story - Chapter 2 1/2

Chapter Two and a HALF

The bathroom door swung shut, cutting off the giggle of her companion to the people in the hallway.  "That was close." she thought, "It’s far too early in the game to be found out."

"That went great!" her companion grinned, looking up at her.  "Did you see his nose get stuck on her sweater?  That was awesome!  I wonder if he rubbed snot all the down?  Ha!  Wasn't that great? Gee, I hope his head is okay for basketball practice this afternoon.  Good thing there's no game until Friday night.  He should be all healed up by then with nothing more than a bump on his head.  Did you see him fall?  It wasn't even a collapse; it was more like he folded.  Wow, I bet women in the 1800s who used to faint all the time would have loved to have been able to faint so, so, ladylike!  Ha!  "
