I don't understand.
I look down at my phone, reading over the text again for the hundredth time.
I glance up to reasure myself that Ms. Shaw can't see us. She's giving a lecture about the War of 1812 but I can barely hear her over the sounds of constant snoring.
"Who do you think sent it?" Cassie asks looking up at me.
"It was someone at the party. They we're there with us, they heard what I said."
"I know that but I don't see who-." Cassie stops mid-sentence. Ms. Shaw reaches down and grabs the phone from my hand.
"What do you think you two are doing?" She asks looking for a direct answer.
I look over at Cassie hoping she can lie our way out of this.
"We're sorry Ms. Shaw, but Andrea's mother is in the hospital and we we're waiting to hear from her father." I smile tugs at the corner of my lips.
Ms. Shaw's face goes from angry to concerned.
"May I ask what happened?"
This time Cassie looks over at me, waiting for the next lie.
"She fell down the stairs and broke her... colloid." My voice quivers.
The bell rings and Ms. Shaw gives me a look as if to say "I'm sorry." and sets my phone down before returning to her desk.
I grab my books and head out the door, Cassie catching up behind me.
"Colloid?" She laughs.
"I had to think of something." I laugh with her.
She shakes her head and we stop at my locker. I drop my books inside and grab my purse as my phone goes off.
Missing pieces, are you? Have fun putting them together. XOXO
