I had been in the janitors closet for five minutes and i was still crying my eyes out.
" I should probably leave." I thought.
I stayed in there. I had texted Pete to pick me up. The door opened and in came the Janitor.
" Hey kid, your brother is here to pick you up. I told your teachers you had thrown up and that is why you missed class." the janitor said.
" Thank You" I mumbled
" Hey Brooklyn" said the Janitor as I was leaving the closet.
I frooze no one ever called me Brooklyn, anymore.
" Yes" I said.
" I heard what happened in the hallway. Lacey was sent to the principals office, after she punched your locker door and tore up your homework. About nine kids went to the guidance counselor and told her that Lacey had anger issues. Oh by the way my name is Mike." said Mike.
" Thanks Mike" I said.

Pete was right outside of the office building. I ran to him and gave him the biggest hug ever. He told me that what ever happened it was over now and that we could go home and watch TV untill Mom and Dad came home. I agreed and we drove home. Whan we got home the first thing i saw was a note on the door. It said:
Brooklyn,
come to the bowling alley tonight. I need to talk to you. dont respond just be there by 6:45 and no later.
It was written in lettters cut out of a magazine, so i did not know whos writing it was.
" You should go. this person can tell you what they want and than we can go bowling. I like bowling." said Pete
" Lacey" I said.
" Lacey what? She can come with us if she wants? You do want her to came right?" said Pete
" No I do not. She was the one who did this. Pete we are not going to that bowling alley. okay?" I said
" okay. But, why would Lacey leave you a note? Wjy not just text, call, or talk to you at school? Why a weird note?" said Pete
" She was the reason you had to pick me up. We got into a fight and then she just went too far. She said stuff that no real friend would say. She is so rude. I can not belive I wasted seven years of my life with her. I should have known this was going to happen. She just kept getting ruder and ruder. How did I not see this coming. She was so nice. What went wrong with her? I said
" I do not know. Just give her some space she will be herself in a few days." said Pete
" How do you know?" I said.
" I do not know that. But, if the counselor has taught me anything it is to hope for the best." Pete said
I dropped the conversation there and we went inside. We did not go to the bowling alley that night, but Pete still did get to go bowling that night. We played Wii bowling at 6:45 sharp and said that we were at the bowling alley and that Lacey was not there. We went to bed around 10:30 after playing Wii for hours. The past few days had been rough, but finally I had nothing to worry about.
