Lokianda sat at her desk, which was placed right beside the large window that peered across the high school campus, upon the second floor. There was a large oak tree that was rooted tall and proud right out in front. Its leaves swayed in the small breeze outside, and she sat there staring at a small squirrel which climbed up higher and higher. Lokianda? The fast paced, twitchy animal soon left her sight as it crawled up higher then she could see. Lokianda. She saw the squirrel all the time in that tree. It was obviously the same one every time, as it had a notch in its right ear. Lokianda!

She snapped out of her day dream daze, and glanced over to the teacher who called name, Ms. Watson. A bit of shock crossed on Loki’s face as she wasn’t paying much attention. “Sorry!” She said, embarrassed as a couple of kids giggled in the back. Her teacher just shook her head, and said “Could you please read the next passage for us?” She simply just nodded her head, and looked down at the book clutched in her hand, Macbeth. She was a little lost at what she was supposed to read, but the girl who sat beside her reached over and pointed it out. Lokianda gave a small smile to her in return.

Clearing her throat, she began. “Whence is that knocking?— How is’t with me, when every noise appals me? What hands are here! Ha, they pluck out mine eyes. Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather The multitude-“ The loud ring of the bell cut her off, to her happiness. She really didn’t enjoy reading in front of the class. One, because she didn’t exactly know many of them, second because she was kind of shy.

“Alright class! Read the rest of the act for homework, bye!” Stated the teacher over the hustle and bustle of the kids packing their things. Loki took her time, putting her note book and everything within her messenger bag. Just as she was about to slip out of the classroom along with the other couple of students who doddled back, she heard the teacher ask her to stay behind. Turning around, she approached the neat and tidy desk of her English teacher, and said “I’m sorry I wasn’t paying attention...” feeling actually quite bad about it. The teacher just sighed, and shook her head. “It’s fine. I’m just worried. You have been spacing out a lot. Is this course too simple for you?” She questioned the girl. Lokianada shook her head frantically. “No! I actually enjoy this class very much. I’ve just been tired, I apologize.” She stated, clasping the strap of her bag in her tiny grip. The teacher just eyed her for a moment, before flicking her hand, in which stating Loki was free to leave.

As she made her way down the almost empty halls, she breathed a sigh of relief to be out of class. It was true that she had been tired, but she had just been a little worried as of late. Ever since her parents died in a terrible car crash the year before, she had lived with her uncle and his wife. They were nice, and she loved them, but two months ago they decided they wanted to move to Africa. Loki was invited to join, but she had school to worry about, so they set her up with her own apartment and a monthly allowance they sent her. It was very kind of them, but the place in which the teeny apartment was placed, wasn’t a very pleasant street; one of the rougher ones of Portland. But she was grateful enough. Moving out of the front doors of the school, a bit of the wind hit her bare cheek, and sent a shiver up the girls spine. The outfit she wore didn’t quite seem warm enough.

Leaving the premises of the school, she made the fifteen minute walk to the apartment. There was a way to cut it shorter, but she thought it better to walk in the more public areas, cutting the downtown square. Because of the chilly wind, there weren’t as many people around as there usually was.

Turning the corner onto the street, she picked her pace up to a fast walk until she reached the steps that lead to her apartment door. Walking up the level, she grabbed her key and unlocked the blue door that read “202”, and walked in, shutting it behind her, making sure to lock it back up.

It was a rather barren place; a couch, a table, a small kitchen area, and a wall that separated the bed and dresser from everything else. She really didn’t have many things.

Plopping herself down onto the couch, she rummaged through her bag, and took out the book, beginning to read the rest of the Act that the teacher had assigned for homework.
