I knew that somehow I would get rid of Macy. I could not risk making another friend that would just ditch me. This time would be different. I would ditch her. That sounds a little harsh but I could let her down easy.
I would need to write down this plan, and I knew just the place. I have a notebook, a notebook no one knows about but me. It is a place where I make my plans. Big plans.
First I come up with an excuse. Doctor? No. Dentist? No. Family emergency? That could work. Possibly. I will have to back this up. Maybe I could have a fake brother. Sure, but what would be his name. Oh! I know, Jacob! Why, you ask? Well, we'll get to that later.
Now I got that down. I just have to come up with a way to tell her. I'm not what you would call articulate in any way. I think I will just have to resort to practicing in my mirror.
But wait! Why would I be at school if I had a family emergency?? I will just have to tell my mom that I'm sick. She's going to call me. Macy, I mean. Great, not I have to work on my sick voice. This plan is getting elaborate.
"Katherine, dinner's ready!"
