The Missing Friend

Chapter 2

After going to bed late the night before I didn't really feel like getting up at 6:00am when my alarm went off. So I set my alarm for 6:20am and went back to sleep. I don't know how but I managed to sleep through my alarm and ended up waking up at 6:35am. As soon as I looked over at my alarm clock I quickly jumped out of bed and ran to the kitchen. My mum had to work another night shift at the post office again last night so I had to quickly get my self ready and walk to school. I grabbed some toast for the walk to school and quickly got dressed. Once I got dressed I ran out the door and started running to school. When I was about 5 minutes away from school I remembered that we had school photos today. "OH MY GOSH!! I forgot to brush my teeth and do my hair nicely"I said to my self. The day had already started badly and it was only 7:00am. I grabbed my phone out of my bag and messaged Amber. She was suppose to walk to school with me today. Me: "Hey where are you?". By this time I was about 2 or 3 minutes away from school. I started to power walk the next few minutes. Once I got to school I ran to my locker and got my books out. Amber still wasn't at school. "Where could she be"I thought to my self. Anyway I ran to my first class which was Geography and I was already 5 minutes late. Geography starts at 7:17am. Btw my school starts really early for some weird reason. I guess it's fare because we start earlier than most schools and finish earlier as well. Oh my gosh why am I talking to my self?. I quickly ran to class and quietly sat down. "Where is Amber?". "She's usually the first one in class". Oh well she must be sick I mumbled to my self. Geography went for one whole hour. When we finished I started to walk to my next class which was English.I pulled out my phone from my pocket and rang Amber. I rang her for 1 minute and she didn't pick up. I was so puzzled. Where could she be?. The day went really quickly and in the last period we had our school photos. Amber would never miss school photos. I stood in the line to get my photos done for 10 minutes. Finally it was my turn. I combed my hair, put some lipgloss on and sat on the chair. The photographers took 5 photos and then I walked back to class. By then there was only about 10 or so minutes left until the bell rang. The 10 minutes went fast and before I knew it it was the end of the day. Today I wasn't going to catch the bus home so I walked. I timed how long it took me to sprint home. Roughly 3 minutes. When I got home for some weird reason I went straight to the office and checked the answering machine. I had 6 miss calls from Amber. The calls didn't even say anything. All five calls were silent except for the sixth call. Right at the end of the sixth call I heard a unusual voice coming from the background. It sounded deep and manly. "Who could it be?"....
