Chapter 3

"Well.. im going to leave now.." I act as if i think he's crazy. I dont tell him about me.
"No come on, please. I swear. Im not lying." He says as i start to walk away. I turn my back on him and start walking back to the lunch room.

"No, please, wait!" He calls after me but i ignore him.

I get back to the lunch table and sit down.

"Where have you been? Its been like, 20 minutes!" Nat asks.

"Nat, it was only 5 minutes. I wasnt gone that long."

"Oh.. well it felt like 20 minutes.. what were you doing anyways?"

"Nothing, i just had to ask that guy something."

"Oh, okay." She look up at the clock on the wall. "Lunch is about to end. Come on, lets sneak out so were not late to class!" She exclaims.

I wasnt completely paying attention so when she pulled on my arm to follow her, i practicly felt like my arm got ripped out. "Ow!"

"Sorry," she giggled, "come on, lets go!"

"Okay, okay." I follow her. We make sure nobody is looking, then we dart out of the lunch room. Were about halfway down the hall before we cant help it and we both burst out laughing.

Nat tried to talk through giggles, "How have we never gotten caught?"

"I swear, those monitors are blind."

"That was-" She gets cut off when we both feel a giant hand on each of our shoulders. We turn around in suprise.

"We.. uh.. we were just.." Nat tries to explain to the principle. He stops her

"Both of you to my office. Now." He says. Nat and I look at each other, worried looks on our face. We've never been to the principle's office.

We get to the office and sit down in the two chairs in front of the desk. He sits across from us in his comfy swivel chair.

He leans back in his chair and crosses his arms over his chest.

"So. What were you girls doing in the hall before the bell?" He questions us. I look over at Nat for her to answer, knowing that if i answer i'll probably lie. Unintentionaly of course, but in situations like this, that happens.

Thankfully Nat got the hint and started talking. "We snuck out.." She looks down at her shoes. I do the same.

"Why would you do that?" The principle asks.

"We didnt want to be late for class." Nat answers again, still looking down.

I look up and the principle raises his eyebrow at me. He questions me, "You agree, Sam?" Just as he said that my phone buzzed in my pocket.

"Dont look at that. Answer my question." He warns.

I nod, "Y-yes, i agree."

"You girls do know that you broke a school rule, right?" He asks.

We both nod at the same time. My phone buzzes again.

He softens up a bit and gestures to my phone in my pocket, "You can answer that now."

I nod, "Thank you." I take my phone out and look at it.

"Boat Crash or Drowning"

I pick boat crash. That seems cooler.

I look up when he starts talking again, "Everything good?"

I nod, "Yeah, just my mom."

"Nat!" He sort of half yells.

She looks up, startled, "Y-yeah?"

"Good, now i have both of your attentions. You broke a school rule. A big one at that. I could easily give you a week of detention. You know how important the rule is," he explains.

We both nod.

"But. Since you girls told the truth, which i apreciate, i am willing to give you each only two days. Starting today."

We both nod again.

"Okay. Good. Get outta here." He says jokingly.

"Thank you." We say in unison as we get up to leave the office.

Once were in the hall and a good distance from the office, we both let out our breath that we didnt know we were holding.

"Wow. Maybe we shouldnt do that anymore." Nat says.

I nod in agreement. "Lets get to class.."

----

After school, or, after detention, i go over to Nat's house.

Her mom stops us on the way up the stairs to Nat's room.

"What took you girls so long?" She questions us.

Nat answers. "The buses were running late." Nat? Lying? I smirk. Ive never heard her lie before.

"Okay.." Her mom eyes us suspiciouly before letting us continue up the stairs.

We get upstairs and go into Nats room.

Theres a note on her desk.

"(938)928-6288" is all it says. I look at her suspiciously.

She shakes her head obviously confused.

"But.. it cant be.." Okay. Maybe she isnt confused..?

She look at me with wide eyes. "My brother is dead. But thats his number. Who..?"
