School was back to normal the next day. There wasn't even a cup in sight when Marley and I stepped through the doorways. The only thing that was amiss was the way the Janitor stared at us as we walked down the hallway. His intense glare went from me to Ruffles and then sought out Warren in the crowd.
"I kinda feel bad, Pizza," Ruffles leans over and whispers in my ear.
"Yeah. Me too." I whisper back.
We walk all the way with the janitors eyes on us until we're at Mr Larkes classroom for science.
Mr Larke glances up at me and Ruffles when we walk into the room. "Good morning Pablo and Lidia." He goes back to working on something that's on his desk like we were never there.
"Good morning."
We take our seats in the back left corner, dreading for class to start. After ten minutes of sitting and waiting class finally starts. Mr Larke goes off on a rant about Meiosis that I tune out, but Ruffles take notes diligently. I guess since she's in class she can't rebel?
About twenty minutes into his rant a knock comes from the door, and Mr Larke opens it a crack and whispers to whoever is behind it.
"Pizza and Ruffles, whoever you are, you're needed in the gym."
Ruffles turns and stares at me before getting up and heading out the room. I slowly follow behind her.
"Warren! Why'd you take us out of class?" I hear Ruffles ask from in front of me.
I step around Ruffles. "Yes. Why did you?"
He shrugs his shoulders a behind to walk away. "I don't know, Pablo and Lidia, I just wanted to."
"Okay. So what are we doing?"
"I don't know, Pizza. I just thought you'd like to get out of class." Warren says over his shoulder.
"Well yeah, always."
"Where do you two normally go on school grounds when skipping?" He stops and spins around in the middle of the hallway.
I turn to Marley and wince. "Do you really want to know?"
"Let me guess... the janitors closet." His face shows nothing. No disgust. No emotions. I can't tell what he's thinking, not that I care. "Well, you can't go back there, so I'll take you to my spot."
"Really? Okay." He starts to walk again, and we follow behind.
Ruffles leans over and whispers, " I wonder where his 'spot' is?" She did air quotes with her pointer and middle fingers.
"I don't know." I whisper back.
