•Pico School•

•The Day Before Disaster.•

"It was the 10th/11th week of school, pico grabbed his lunch from the kitchen table, before pico left, he looked at his old moms picture. Pico surely missed his mother, pico let out an deep sigh and grabbed his backpack and head out the door so go to school. Pico enjoyed school, but there was some things he didn't enjoy. He didn't wanna say. After an bit, pico went to his locker and put his bag in his locker and grabbed his book for his first morning class. Pico headed to class and remembered this weird girl in his class called "Cassandra." He didn't really speak to her much but, he didn't seem to have an problem with her. Yet.. pico sat down in his chair and waited for the lesson to begin. The teacher walked in. "Good morning class! Today we will be learning about the history of apples!" The teacher explained. Pico got little excited, but realized something. Darnell. He wasn't in class today, pico got nervous. Pico waited for Darnell to arrive. No luck. The teacher took attendance. Darnell was still no where to be seen. After class, pico started to freak out. "Where are u Darnell?..." pico thought, it was now lunch time. Pico sat down in an lunch chair and started to eat his apple and sandwich. He ate slowly tho, pico really didn't feel like eating. He was to worried sick for Darnell. Nene looked over at pico and got confused. "Hey, pico u feeling okay? Ur eating very slow." Nene asked pico, pico turned to her and shrugged. "I don't know, I just.." Pico stopped speaking at that point. Nene seemed worried, "u what? Pico this isn't like u, are u okay?" Nene asked. Pico let out an sigh, "I'm nervous for Darnell." Pico  answered. Nene got confused, "huh? Why??" Nene asked confused, pico had to confess on why he was nervous for his friend. "He didn't come to school today, that's not normal! I.. I hope he's okay.." pico gulped down an handful of an sandwich. Nene looked at pico for an slight moment then burst out laughing. Pico felt embarrassed, "pico! Darnell is fine, just because he didn't come to school for one day,  doesn't mean he's dead." Nene smiled patting pico. Pico smiled an little bit, "I guess ur right.." pico smiled. After lunch it was the next class of the day, pico headed to his least favorite class. Math Class. Pico sat down and grumbled. It was boring In math class without Darnell. Pico was happy Cassandra wasn't in the same math class as him. Pico felt weird around her, but didn't really mind her as an person. The math teacher  took Attendance, then she began with the lesson. Pico just zoned out thinking about Darnell. Pico even blushed at the thought of Darnell. After math class, the second to last class was, reading class/ELA. Reading class always make pico tired. After school, pico walked home and dropped his bag and did his lunch for tomorrow. Pico went on his phone to try to call Darnell. No answer the first time. Pico gulped, then he try to calm Darnell again. Darnell finally answered. "Hello?" Darnell asked, pico let out an sigh of relief. "Thank god! Ur okay Darnell!" Pico said happy. "Huh? Yea! I'm fine, what's up? Why so worried?" Darnell asked, "u didn't come to school today, that's not u so, I got very worried." Pico answered. Darnell laughed then chuckled. "Oh! Don't worry pico, I'm fine. I didn't come to school bc I over slept." Pico just felt embarrassed. "Oh, heh.. sorry!" Pico said embarrassed. Darnell smiled. "Don't worry! I'm just glad somebody is worried for me, and I should go I need to get up early for school, so do u." Pico nodded, "yea, well cya tomorrow Darnell!" Pico smiled. "Yep! Bye pico!" Darnell hung up. Pico yawned, he should eat dinner before he goes to bed. Pico got up and walked to the kitchen, he grabbed ramen from the Pantry, then put it in the microwave and waited for it to ring. The microwave made an loud ring noise, as pico opened it and grabbed his ramen and mixed it. Pico sat down on the table while he ate his ramen. All alone pico felt.  Nobody there. Nobody there to eat with him. Pico just felt lonely, he really missed his mom. Pico sighed, as he finished his ramen and put it In the garbage then got ready for bed extra early. Pico laid on his bed looking at his phone. After an bit, pico felt asleep. The next morning, pico got ready as he walked to school. Pico never took the bus anymore. He wasn't comfortable with it anymore after what happened to his mom. Pico got to school and saw Darnell and ran to him. "Oh morning pico!" Darnell smiled at pico. "Morning Darnell." Pico smiled at him as well. "Also.. uh, pico.. there's something I should tell u." Darnell gulped. "Huh? What is it?" Pico asked. Darnell looked around and saw many kids in the hallway. Darnell looked at him. "Ili tell u after school, meet me by the flower tree." Darnell answered. Pico was little surprised, he never saw Darnell so embarrassed around so many people. He was always confident and straight forward. "O-h- uh, okay?" Pico answered, little confused. The bell rang as pico and Darnell headed to there class. He sat by Darnell in his first class, the teacher took attendance once again, then started the lesson. After that class, and the other classes. Pico went to his locker, then Saw an letter with an heart sticker on it. Pico grabbed it and opened it slowly. Pico read it, "Hey pico, it's me Darnell. Just an reminder to meet me by the flower tree after school, thanks. -Darnell" pico was little shocked. Was this thing Darnell was gonna tell pico this important? Probably. He walked to the flower tree, and saw Darnell standing there. Pico walked to Darnell, "soooo, what did u wanna tell me?" Pico asked. Darnell cheeks turned an bright pink. Pico was very confused, "well.. I been wanting to tell u this for an awhile now.." pico shrugs "so what is it? Is it really important?" Darnell cheeks were an bright red color, as he let out an deep breath, then Darnell said.."
