inside the chair…” I shuffle from Buffo, shaking my hands and curls. “I don’t know. I do really need a few more minutes to calm my nerve endings. I’m not in a smart frame of mind to attack more academic questions. I might fail then not pass into the yellow color tone…” Rincon gently touches the elbow of Ketona smiling and nodding. “I found the exhibition horrid too. And I too had felt both sad and nervousness. However Buffo is correct. This is both fake and fun within the park place. Now to calm your shivering neurons and shaky nerves, close your eyelashes and take three deep breathes, Ketona. The extra supply of oxygen will activate hormones to release the tension inside your brain cells for the next set of questions. Then you will pass into the yellow color tone with me and Buffo,” winks at her. I smile and close my eyelashes exhaling then inhaling. I exhale then inhale two more times. I open my eyelashes seeing the pretty flowers then handsome Rincon. He nods and smiles to me. I grin and wink at him. “Thank you! I feel much better for continuing the Cubby Hole.” Rincon back pedals nodding and grinning. “You need both your physical and psychological wits with you for the next colors tone,” scoots into his me-chee as the fabric wraps around his body. He drops into the flooring, screaming in fright. Buffo hugs then kisses her. “Ya feel like leaving the pink room now, darling.” She nods and smiles. He kisses her lips then emerges with a goofy grin of love. He parts and walks to his me-chee chair. I smile and slide into the chair then get hugged again by the soft fabric like a set of warm arms of Buffo. I can’t see Buffo since he is behind me. His chair appeared later inside the pink room taking more time to answer his academic questions. I’m trapped again not being able to hold my stomach with both hands or remove the leaking spittle from my lips while screaming. My me-chee chair drops along with my stomach when my heart rises into my throat. The chair and I sail backwards in the dark tunnel, screaming with both fun and fright. The me-chee chairs stops. A bright yellowish white light hovers above me glowing within my pink shielding. I look up into the light when my me-chee chair floats upward then anchors back into the Cubby Hole into the same spot inside the auditorium. The soft fabric seat belt unwraps from my body as I giggle and wipe the sweat from my brow.
Chapter 5 Yellow
The four walls and ceiling are yellow-tinted in color along with the solo yellow colored me-chee standing underneath the color chart. My cat suit and my me-chee chair are still pink-tinted. I scan the room noting some of the other me-chee chairs are missing displaying an empty spot upon the yellow floor. I immediately back flash thinking of the mean and rude teens fighting with knives. I’m guessing that the empty spots of the missing me-chee chairs belong to the vile male and female schoolers who have murdered and displayed the poor innocent baby farm animal parts without a prime purpose or good sense. I wonder if the me-chee host will allow the nasty killer teens back into the Cubby Hole and participate in the remaining Citizenship Day activities or address the color tone questions again. Duchie said that she was surprised all the schoolers passed from the color silver into the pink tone. Now I can understand her weird statement. Some of the schoolers are rude and exhibit a barbaric manner like a pack of cavemen. I am so relieved that I live in civilized and pretty Colfax, a posh city of steel and elegance. Rincon said this was competition for the gold first place job choice. Now I understand his arrogant statement. He’s planning to beat me becoming first in the gold color tone. Well, I’m smarter than Rincon. We have always competed as schoolers, since four years old. And I have always out performed him, academically and socially. I will do that today at the Citizenship Day activities
