"So what are you planning on doing for your English project?" Alyssa glanced at Melanie and pondered her
answer for a while.   
"I was thinking about interviewing someone and writing about that , but I don't know who or when i would
be able to."  Alyssa stated. She shrugged and continued to walk around  the campus and contemplate the
view of town.  She often found the view from the high school campus to help with her thinking.  As they
wandered to the lunch cart at the foot of the school drive they continued to pass suggestions back and fourth
for the project.   
"You could interview your grandmother.  That should be interesting enough." Melanie offered smiling.
"Interesting isn't he word I would use" Alyssa shot back grinning also " I would be lucky to get a coherent
sentence form her at this stage, she is having more of the "out of it " days then she was". she said wryly
"What would you like today, dears?" asked the slight, older woman that ran the small lunch service for
those who didn't want the school food.
"The turkey looks good, thanks" answered Alyssa.  As she handed the change to the motherly woman a
subtle charge ran through her arm.  "Oh, that was odd" she said to no one in particular.  She and Melanie
slowly wandered back up the long drive to the school passing the various cliques that universally form
during high school.  Each clique having staked there own "spot" around one of  the massive boulders that
lined the drive up to the school and flanked the steep elongated hill topped by Pines.  "Its amazing that
every school always seems to have the same cliques..." Alyssa commented. Melanie nodded in agreement
and continued to eat her sandwich.
  
As they neared the school buildings a boy a year older then them burst out of the cafeteria and sprinted
down the lawn.  As Alyssa and Melanie stared a pair of teachers burst out after him and followed as fast as
they could.  The boy would have made it off the grounds but for one of the hangers-on at the jock-rock
sticking out his foot and tripping him.  The teachers reached him and dragged him to the main office
forcibly to Alyssas astonishment.

"What was that about??" Alyssa asked amazed
"I dot know but its none of our business" Melanie commented flatly  "We should hurry, its almost time for
class.”  and she started walking without waiting for Alyssa. Alyssa stared in confusion at her friend as
Melanie walked up the lawn to the science wing.
