chapter 2

“Mr. Phelps?” said an adult males voice, “Mr. Powel Phelps?”
A teenage male slides his hands down his face and then looks across the class room. He sees the other students looking at him waiting for an answer. The teenage male looks at the teacher and sees a math problem written on the board behind him.
“Yes Mr. Bernstein.” said Powel Phelps.
“What is the answer to the equation on the board.” said the teacher.
Powel looks at the math book and his math notes. He pushes the notebook aside looking for the equation he wrote down. He comes across the open notebook with the werewolf story in it. He looks up at the classroom of students and closes the notebook. He places the 100 page notebook into his blue backpack. He then finds the equation written on a seperate piece of paper and not in his math notebook.
“28 over N equals 42 over R.” said Powel Phelps.
The math teacher looks at his math book, straighten his rimless glasses and then stares at Powel.
“Correct Mr. Phelps.” said Mr. Bernstein.
The school bell rings ending the school day. The math teacher looks up at the clock and then looks down at his watch. He closes the math book and places it on the teacher desk behind him.
“Remember class homework for tonight is on page 94, problems 2,4,6,8 and on pages 101 through 104, problems 9 through 13. The answers for problems 2,4,6,8 are at the back of the book to help, and to only help. See you all tomorrow.” said Mr. Bernstein.
All the students quickly write down the homework asignment and then pack their stuff into their book bags or backpacks. Many rush out the two doors without giving the math teacher their homework. Powel slowly packs his things away not acting like he is in a rush to leave. He smushes the math note book and math book together into his blue backpack. He stands up ready to leave when he notices a pair of perfectly polished black shoes standing by the school desk. He looks up and the math teacher is standing by him. Powel stands up and places his backpack around his shoulder. He hands the math teacher two pieces of paper.
“Here’s yesterdays homework.” said Powel.
“Thanks Mr. Phelps.” said Mr. Bernstein.
He takes the homework and looks at the teenage male.
“Are you ok Mr. Phelps? You look like you have not got any sleep in the past three days.” said Mr. Bernstein.
Powel looks up at the math teacher and notices how he has the type of light sky blue eyes like dogs have and realizes that he has had the same math teacher for two years and every year he also seems to focus on him more than any other student.
“I’m good. Just have had a lot of homework lately.” said Powel.
“And your particapation with the Sci-Fi Club too, right?” said Bernstein.
“Ah yes. We have a lot to do so I must go now. Bye.” said Powel.
“Goodbye Mr. Phelps.” said the math teacher.
He waves goodbye to Powel and watches him leave. The math teacher smiles exposing perfectly white teeth and larger than normal canines. He hears the sound of other students come into the room and walks back to the teachers desk.

Outside in the hallway Powel merges with the other students creating a type of traffic jam. Each one is either going to their next class or to their lockers. He squeezes through the crowd of teenagers towards the stairs. He skips steps as he hurries down them to the first floor. Powel merges with a different crowd of teenagers creating another type of traffic jam. At the middle of the hallway there is a row of two dozen lockers. Powel walks around the other teenagers to get to them. He steps up to the nineth locker and quickly turns the combination lock to the proper three numbers. The locker door swings open and slams against the next locker. Powel looks around afraid someone saw that. No one did so he moves the locker door away from the other locker. He exchanges the math book and math notebook for a group of Sci-Fi magazines. When he closes the locker door he jumps backwards at the sight of a teenage female standing on the other side of it. She has her long hair tied up into two pony tails, she has braces on her teeth, she is wearing a Star Trek t-shirt and baggy cargo pants.
“Hey Samantha you startled me.” said Powel.
“Sorry Powel.” said Samantha.
“So you got the report ready for the meeting.” said the voice of another teenage male.
Powel turns around to see another teenage male standing behind him. He has curly black hair and he is wearing a bright blue long sleeved t-shirt with the Superman ‘S’ logo on it and camoflauge shorts.
“Yeah Chad it’s in here.” said Powel.
He taps his backpack and smiles.
“Good, lets get going then.” said Chad.
Powel locks the lock and then walks with them down the hallway. Most of the other students have gone into their classrooms or have left the school.

Chad, Samantha and Powel exit the school through the back door and cross the back court yard. They follow the sidewalk towards a large square building. Over the main entrance are the words Highland Hall. They open the double glass doors and walk up a flight of stairs.
Inside is a large auditorium. White lines are painted across the wooden floor for the basket ball games played within the room. A large stage and side rooms are at the back of the auditorium. Two flights of stairs are on each side of the room leading up to the storage rooms above the stage. Displayed across the room are tables set with different clubs. There is anywhere from two people to five people at each table. They are setting up signs, banners, and displays representing what each club is about.
Chad, Samantha and Powel walk up to a table at the back of the auditorium by the stage where three other teenagers are waiting. They have set up a back board behind the table with planets and stars painted on it. One of the teenagers open up a large duffle bag and remove a model of the Starship Enterprise from the series Star Trek. The other two teenagers help him string it up on front of the back board. Chad, Samantha and Powel walk up to the table. Chad and Samantha places their school items on the floor and string up a model of a X-Wing and a TIE Fighter from the series Star Wars. Powel places his book bag on the table and casually looks around the auditorium.
He notices how the Chess Club, the Key Club, the Save the Dolphins Club have set their area up already. The Monty Python Club, the Greek Club and the Sixties Club are still setting up their areas. The other clubs are either not present or waiting for the rest of their members. He slowly turns to help the rest of the members in his Sci-Fi Club when he sees a woman out of the corner of his eye. He looks up towards the second floor to see if he saw what he thought he saw. He sees nobody anywhere on the upper floors. Powel looks around the auditorium again looking everywhere hoping he did not see the person he thought he saw.
Samantha turns around to grab a poster from under the table and sees Powel looking around with a worried look on his face. Her happy face turns to a worried look too. She looks around at the areas where Powel is looking. She wonders what he is looking at. Samantha walks up to him and taps him on the shoulder.
“What’s wrong? I have never seen you look so worried before.” said Samantha.
Powel turns around and looks her in the eyes. He sees her happy expression washed away for a worried look caused by him. He tries to change his expression but he can not. Samantha sees his eyes widen with a frighten expression but his face has a worried look. Powel turns away but she continues to look at him worrying about him.
“I’m fine.” said Powel.
He places his hands on the table looking down at it. Samantha rubs his back trying to comfort him. Chad finishes hanging up a toy Zenomorph from the movie Alien and glances over to see Samantha rubbing Powels back. He hits the arm of a teenage male member standing next to him siganling for him to look at the table. The teenage male member looks over and grins.
“Get a room you two.” said the teenage male member.
Samantha and Powel look up. They see Chad and the other three Sci-Fi Club members staring at them.
“He’s tired Caleb, give him a break.” said Samantha.
“He will get a break when we all do. The Convention starts in an hour and we are not half way done setting up. We still have Herbert and his brother coming with his Sci-Fi junk,” said Caleb, “has anyone found out what he is bringing?”
Caleb looks around at everyone. Each club member says no. He looks over at Powel and he shakes his head no. Caleb throws his arms in the air frustrated.
“Of course you wouldn’t know you have not been to a meeting all month. I don’t even know how you were able to remember to write out the information about the club. You do have it right?” said Caleb.
“Yes, he has it.” said Samantha.
They all look at Powel surprised. A teenage female member staples pictures of the Moble Suits from the Gundam Wing series onto the side of the backboard.
“I know why he has not showed up lately and why he is tired all the time.” said the teenage female member.
They all look at her as if she just won the lottery including Powel. She looks at them smiling.
“Well don’t leave us in suspense. Why has diggle britches here have been missing out on our club.” said Caleb.
Powel becomes pissed off and tuns around leaning on the table. Samantha shakes her head signaling for him to ignore Caleb.
“That was rude of you Caleb.” said Chad.
“Yeah whatever,” said Caleb, “well Missy tell us why.”
“It’s because he has been seeing this college girl with dark hair.” said Missy.
Powel whips around and looks at her. She continues to staple up pictures on the edeg of the back board. Chad notices the teenage males expression and sees that what she said must be the truth.
“Turd here is seeing a college girl, my ass.” said Caleb.
“Yupe, and she has been watching us from the balconey this whole time.” said Missy.
She points up to the balconey. Powel walks around the backboard and looks up at it. Caleb and Chad races around the back board and stand by Powel. They all look up at the balconey and sees no one there. Chad places his hands on his waist angry.
“Bullshit like I thought. I bet he has been seeing you this whole time. You have missed some of our meetings too.” said Caleb.
He looks at the others to confirm what he said. Only one person agrees with him, the last teenage male member of the club. Samantha and Chad shakes their heads disaproving in what Caleb said. Caleb looks at Powel and then at Missy.
“You had me there for a moment. I actually believed you that this idiot had a life.” said Caleb.
He laughs as he walks back around the backboard. Samantha and Chad stays with Powel knowing that something is wrong. Powel shrugs his shoulders and walks back to the table. He opens his back pack and takes out a group of papers. There is small pictures of movies and books printed on some of the pages. Powel places the print outs on the table and then walks over to the stage. He opens a folding chair and seats on it. Samantha sees him walk away and then follows him. She watches him take out a one hundred page notebook and sees him write in it. She smiles knowing what he is doing.
“Is that a new story?” said Samantha.
Powel closes the book and places it back into his backpack.
“No.” said Powel.
He sits up a little and they become quiet. Samantha waits for him to say anything but he does not. She looks at him and he looks back. Her eyebrows go up signaling for him to say something. He raises his arms signaling what? She knows she will not get an answer out of him so she goes back and helps the other members of the Sci-Fi Club set up their area. Powel watches Samantha walk away and then grabs the notebook out from his backpack again and begins writing.
He becomes stuck and taps the pen on the notebook. His eyebrows rise with an idea. He looks around and then slowly reaches into his backpack and takes out a thin notebook. He flips through it and reads the information written on the pages. After two pages he closes it up and places it back into his backpack. Powel smiles as he writes more.
Samantha peaks her head around the backboard and looks at Powel. She sees him writing in the same notebook that he put away. She grins wondering why he did that. Missy looks over at her and sees her confused expression. She staples the last picture on the back board and then peers around it. She sees Powel writing in nthe notebook.
“Oh, he’s writing in it again.” said Missy.
“What?” said Samantha, “You knew he has been writing?”
“I have noticed him writing in that same notebook all month, actually he has been writing in it since he came back from that trip he took.” said Missy.
“He has?” said Samantha.
“Yupe and it’s really good.” said Missy.
Missy grabs more pictures from underneath the table. This time the pictures are of the Autobots and Decepticons from the Transformers cartoon series. She walks to the other end of the back board and begins to staple the pictures on the edge of it. Samantha looks at the notebook that Powel is writing in and then notices that Missy is not by her. She looks around and sees her at the other end of the back board. Samantha quickly walks over to her.
“He has not let me see it yet how did you know?” said Samantha.
“This morning. He fell alseep in English Lictature and I glanced at it.” said Missy.
“What’s it about?” said Samantha.
“Werewolves. An interesting new twist on the concept too.” said Missy.
Samantha steps away from the backboard to get a better look at Powel. She watches him concentrating on writing that he looks like he completely blocked out everything around him. Chad walks up beside her holding a mini statue of a T-101 robot from the Terminator movie.
“Come on Samantha, let him be for now. You can grill him later. We still have two more tables to set up before Herbert comes with his stuff.” said Chad.
“Yeah you’re right.” said Samantha.
Chad smiles and then she does. He walks back around to the other side of the back board. Samantha looks at Powel one more time and then sees their last male member struggling to unfold a folding table. She walks up to him and catches the table before it slams across the floor.
“I got it George.” said Samantha.
She helps him place it on its side and then unhooks the legs. Then they open the legs and click them into place. She nods her head and they flip the table onto its legs and carry it next to the Sci-Fi Clubs main table.
“Thanks Samantha, but we still have two more tables to set up.” said George.
“No problem George.” said Samantha.
They head back towards the area where all the folding tables are laying. They each grab one more and bring to their area.
High above them on the second floor by the entrance of the auditorium a woman with dark hair watches them. She mostly concentrates on Powel and how he is emersed in his writing.
“Ok everybody our table is this way.” said a males voice.
The dark haired woman looks down and sees the math teacher escorting four teenagers towards a table. A sign that has the words ‘Math Club’ is taped on front of it. She ducks down trying to hide. At the Math Club table the math teacher places a stack of math books on the table as the students that followed him set up a back board with numbers and letters that make up complex equations. The math teacher looks around at the other clubs notcing how many of them are set up already. He causually look around and then stops at the second floor above the main entrance. He looks away and then back up at it. He thinks did he just see someone up their looking down at him. He shakes his head no and helps the Math Club Members.
