I find myself lying on the floor next morning, realizing the neighbors didn't check on me like they were told to. A week earlier I was desperate for my parents to leave, but now that they are gone I realize how much they meant to me. I have no idea what she did to me or what she is up to but she just scared the crap out of me. I roll on the floor place my palm on the ground and force myself up. A glance on the clock tells me it is 6. Phew! What a relief it is to find out I am not going to have to skip school today.

As expected, I see his friends talking in a circle, except him. So, that makes me right he is suspended and he didn't bother telling me. I try my best to ignore their presence until I am disturbed by a British accent that says Hi.

He is the cute but the huge one. I force myself to remember his name come on Nancy! The cute but huge one! What was his name? Come on! Al... Ant... Antonio. Huh! That's it!

"Hi Antonio how do you do?"

Huh! He guffaws "I'm Abraham not Antonio"

"Ah, I apologies" I reply formally.

"So where is your best friend?" He teases.

"I was about to ask you the same" I say as though I have no knowledge of his suspension.

"So he didn't tell you I see"

"Tell me what Abraham?"

"He is suspended?"

"No I guess he didn't have the chance but I'm sure he wanted to"

"Ahh, you really think he didn't tell us what happened? We are his best friends!"

"Good to know! Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to my class"

"The class doesn't start until 7:30 Nancy"

"What is it that you want, to Insult me? Is that it?"

"Don't be sore! I'm only trying to be a good friend of yours"

"Is that how you make friends? By insulting them?"

"I didn't insu-

"Sure you didn't!" I interrupt.

"I'm sorry if I meant to hurt you at any cost"

"Apology accepted" I utter facing down in search of something interesting.

After an awkward silence I speak again "So, well, you are with Zealot aren't you?"

"Yah indeed I am" he answers smiling.

"So how is it possible that I never saw you?"

"That's because I sit in the second last bench and you sit somewhere in front"
