A Swag's Secret

XV. Rocker, The Shocker

This excitement didn't escape me...I am gonna meet Rocker!
Well, at least that person wouldn't have invented the band I hated the most...

Anyhow...

It so happened...
My day had given me a bad start and luck didn't have anything for me that day. I hadn't found free time in my schedule to meet this Rocker guy (if he exists...) but at the same time, I needed to sneak out without getting my parents to notice me.

That was the hard part...

"Good m-morning mom, I seem to *rubs my head* have a bit of headache today, Can I skip school?" I asked mom just after she entered my room in the morning.

Hey, I was pretending!

But I don't know why my petty tricks don't work on mom. She thought that I was having a headache because I had a test that day. But at least she didn't know about the reason why I wanted to skip school. 

Well, That was Excuse number One.

Excuse Number Two: *Suddenly pretending to fall*
Me: AAAARRRGGHHH!!! I guess I twisted my ankle. OW! *Sob**Sob* It hurts!
Mom: Seriously!? Lydia, any better one?
Me: Umm...I guess the pain has vanished...Heh, Heh...Weird...

Excuse Number Three: *Sneakingly throwing my Science Notebook in the dustbin*
Me: Has someone seen my Science Notebook?
Layla: I didn't
Me: Don't lie, pesky brat! I saw you....tearing-tearing them into pieces last night!
Dad: Lydia, what's gotten into you today? I guess Spikes threw it into the dustbin. Here!
Me: Here it is...Thanks, dad!
Mom: Think it thrice before accusing your little sister Lydia!
Me: Okay mom...

Excuse number Four: *Putting plastic roaches into my bag*
Me: Hey, Mom have you checked my bag lately. It seems to have some unusual creatures inside.
Mom:Let me have a look.....AAAAAARRRGGGHH!!!!.....The-there are co-cockroaches in y-your bag!!
Dad: *Running in with a long stick* Ah! Where! What happened! Is everyone okay?
Layla: *Sounding nonchalant* I don't guess it's a big problem. Lydia is acting weird recently. Besides, Those roaches are made of plastic. I just remembered....These kinds of acts are done when-
Me: Ahaha! Right, Right! Heh,Heh....Has anyone checked the time? I guess its time I drive to school. Hahaha! Phew!

And I took off! :(

Well, it was this hard...
I was like, 'Please Luck, look at me, I exist too!'
I don't know if this rocker guy who told me to meet at some time that I still didn't figure out yet, really exist! Curiousness makes me, so I will have to meet him, Sooner or Later.

*******

School had been boring than ever. Jennie wasn't there and I couldn't help yawning every minute in the classes. Unless and until I showed myself to the teacher with a bundle of eye circles around my eyes and she gave me the permission to take a pass from the principle's office. After I sat in my car, I noticed a few students coming out from the school bus and one included Jennie.

Finally!

But I still had to solve the riddle which Rocker set me up, so decided to drive to the pink garden. I had to ignore Jennie. No lies of me work on her either as the eye circles I had were fake!

Upon reaching the garden, I took a rough notebook from my bag and sat on a bench. I started writing the riddle that was in my dream. 

The words were annoying and it kinda matched with the poetry that the annoying shadow said in a dream once. He had told me to meet me but where. The time was either the pure morning, just after the break of dawn and the pure night was exact at midnight. Morning time was impossible but midnight was when I would go out and meet him! And I was afraid of the dark...
