Mom Gone Missing

Chapter 1 See you next year

"Bye Casey, I am going to work" My mom called out. I was still in bed and it was 7:30 am. Dang it I am going to be late for school. I was basically brushing my teeth while I was getting dressed. "Casey" my dad yelled upstairs "you are going to be late." I ran downstairs, got my scarf, jacket and book bag and ran to the car. I guess my jacket and scarf aren't enough because it is freezing, well it is the middle of December and almost CHRISTMAS. My dad got in the car and started to drive me to school, it is the last day of school befor winter break and I have to see my friends.

Ok, how about I tell you about my self. My name is Casey and I am 15 years old, I have no siblings, and my best friends are Ashley and Lisa. I am in 10th grade and I am almost allowed to drive. On January 23rd I turn 16 and my parents are going to take me to get my licence.

"We are here" my dad told me. I got out of the car and I saw Lisa. I said bye to my dad and ran to Lisa. " I can't believe winter break is finally going to be here after today" Lisa said. "I know right, I am so excited" I said. " Lets go find Ashley before first period" Lisa said. I followed her to the library. Ashley likes to help in the library before school starts. We saw her and ran to her.

"Girls, you are going to be excited, because I got you presents" Ashley said. They were small and they were 10$ gift cards to starbucks. " I know where we are going after school" I said. "Starbucks" we all said laughing. "Lets go to our classes before the bell rings" Lisa said. We all went to our first period.

We only have two classes together and they are 4th and 6th period. I still have friends in my other classes, well I am sort of popular. I walked in the room and I saw my friend Erin. I walked to her " I can't believe Mrs. Busby is giving us a math test today" Erin said. "I know, I though we were suppose to have a fun day today, because it is the last day before winter break" I said.

"Ok guys, take a seat" Mrs. Busby said. I looked at Erin and she looked worried as Mrs. Busby was handing out the test. The test was kind of hard and it took all period. The bell rang right when I turned my paper in. I went to Erin "That was kind of hard" I said. "I know right" Erin replied. "I'll see you in fourth period" I said. She waved and I went to second period. I have english, yes! My teacher Mrs. Adams is so nice and she plays games to help is learn english.

I walked in and my friends Sarah and Samantha came up to me (They are twins). "We found out that we are going to be in your english and literature class now" Sarah said. "That is AWESOME, now you don't have that boring teacher. Sit next to me girls" I said. We all got a seat and say down. "Mrs. Adams lets us sit wherever we want" I said. They were excited when I told them.

Second period was normal, but a little more fun with more of my friends there. "Ok guys, the bell is about to ring, get your stuff" Mrs. Adams said. I said bye to Samantha and Sarah and found out that they are in my forth period class. Third period was the same and when the bell rang, it ment it was lunch time and I get to see my friends.

When I walked into my forth period class, social studies, I saw that all of friends have already gotten there. "Casey, come over here" Lisa said. I went over to them. "We are inviting Erin, Sarah, and Samantha to Starbucks" Ashley said. "That is awesome" I said.

"Ok boys and girls, like up for lunch" Mr. Smith said. My friends and I got in line and we walked in the lunchroom and got some food. I was the last one to get food in my class, so my friends were waiting for me at the table.

"So where are you guys going for Christmas break?" Erin asked. "I'm going skiing in Colorado" Lisa said. "We're going to Hawaii, where it is warm" Samantha said looking at Sarah. "I'm not going anywhere" Erin said. "Me neither" I said. "Where are you going, Ashley?" Lisa asked. "Just hanging out, I guess" Ashley said. "I guess we three can have a sleepover while they are on a vacation" Erin said. "That sounds fun" Ashley said. "If you are in Mr. Smiths class, it is time to go" Mr. Smith said. We all got up and walked to our class.

"Ok class, we are going to be learning about Ancient Rome for the next few weeks and I am going to put on a video in what it is about" Mr. Smith said typing on his computer. We started watching a 30 minute video on the promethian board. After that Mr. Smith started talking about Rome and the bell cut him off. It was time for fifth period. Good thing Sarah and Samantha are in my fifth period class.

Literature was fun with Mrs. Adams again and I had fun with Samantha and Sarah. In band (6th period) we just had fun playing winter songs, like jingle bells. Just so you know, I play the clarinet in band.

When my bus dropped me off at my house, I remembered that I need to ask my dad if I can go to Starbucks with my friends. I open the door and yelled "DAD." "Yes Casey" my dad said. " Can I go to Starbucks with my friends, Lisa's mom is going to pick us all up?" I asked. "Yes you can, Casey, but be back at 5:30 for dinner" He said. I nodded and I saw Lisa's mom pull up the driveway.

"Bye dad" I said, my dad just waved.
I was the first person Lisa can to get. "I'm ready to get some Starbucks" Lisa said looking excited. "We are getting Erin next" Lisa's mom said. Lisa and I looked excited. When everyone for in the car, Lisa mom said that she would be back at 5:15.

"I'm getting a peppermint frappuccino" Erin said. "Me too" I said. Everyone else got different flavors. "Sarah" the lady said handing Sarah her drink. She kept on calling our names and we finally got all of our drinks and sat down. "I have to be home at 5:30, so you probably need to take me home first" I said. "That's ok, you were the first one I picked up, so you already had alot of time with us" Lisa said. I just smiled because she was right. We talked and had a great time and 5:15 came really fast. Lisa's mom took me home and I said "See you next year."
