The Plant

A class secret

None of the teachers seemed to have noticed that situation in the gym and it made it easier for us to not let them poke their nose in it too. The case would become too big for us to handle if more grownups knew about it. And everyone knew that.
"Oh. Well. At least you all take responsibility and discuss important topics. Maybe this class has a special potential."
Everyone went to their places except for _____ who was nowhere to be seen. I wonder where he left. I hope he's okay.

After school I knew that I didn't have a clue where he could have gone. I didn't even know where he lived. Except for the direction... come to think of it I realized I hadn't been in his home before. Even though he now had visited me some few times already. I wish I knew where he lived.
Aha. I have his number now. Maybe I should just write it instead?
"Hello. How are you? Where did you go?" Send.
After an hour waiting restless for his answer I finally got a message. I had already gotten home by then.
"Hey. I'm okay I think. Home. Where else?"
"It went well btw."
"What went well?"
"I talked to the class while you were gone. They all agreed to help you."
"Huh? Really?"
"Yeah. Can I come to your house?"
"Sure. But not today."

It was only a few hours since I saw him still but I was so excited about telling him the details that it felt like an eternity to just wait for the next day.
