A Normal Kid By Day, Duck By Night (The Mighty Ducks)

10.

All three of us run to Carlos and give him a huge hug.

"Dude," Charlie said, "you scared us half to death out here!"

"Well, sorr-" he tries to say but I interupt, "Really what you do?"

Carlos starts, "well, I was in the science lab and I was doing a lab and I had to mix some chemicals and I read the right directions but then when I turned my back to the chemicals to get like two other chemicals, it kinda exploded and started a small fire."

"well we are all glad you are okay. I, well I think all of us," Shayna said pointing to the three of us, "don't want out friend to be hurt."

"Ya, I know. I'll be careful next time. I'm super sorry guys."

"It's okay." We say to him. Then we look out on to the crowd of students and they all start to leave. Our head of school, Mr. Curtis came us and said, "We are not having school today, for the accident that happened, but it is no big deal. It was just an accident and they happen. Carlos, it'll be okay." He pats him on the shoulder and leaves to go into the school. Mr. Curtis is an original person. His full name is Sodapop Curtis. He even says it's on his birth certificate!

Carlos sits down on the stairs infront of the school and starts to cry. All three of us crowd around him and comfort him.

"You know, Carlos," I start, "we all make mistakes. And God forgives you for every mistake you make. Like for example, when Garrett and I got into the car crash, God forgave us and the person we crashed into because he knows we are not perfect and we all make mistakes."

"She is right Carlos," Charlie says, "it was just a mistake."

"Let's just forget about it and leave it. Okay?" Shayna tells him.

"Okay I will, but what will I tell my parents?" Carlos questions.

"We will tell them together... All of us." Charlie says. "Let's go."

"Wait, let's just text our parents that there's no school." Shayna tells us.

"Okay" we all give her.

*******

We texted our parents and we called Carlos's parents. They were a little mad, but they did understood that people make mistakes.

"Hey guys, do you want to come to my house?" I ask and receive 'sure' from all three of my friends.

We all get to my house and no one is home, except my dog. I call out to parents but there were no answers. I look around and I see a note on the table by the door.
