"No problem." My mom said with a smile that was way to big for her to be talking to dad.
"Hey, Mom." I said as I walked into the kitchen getting ready to prepare a bowl of Cap'N Crunch. "What was that all about?"
"Nothing important. Your uncle-"
"MOM! I do not refer to him as my uncle. You know this."
My mom was in awe at my tone. "Well, Mayor Glover wanted us to have a dinner celebration for Malissa's birthday party. I said it was fine and we would be more than welcome to come tonight."
I couldn't believe it. "Mom, you volunteered me to go? Why? I mean I don't mind the fact that it's for Malissa but at Glover's house?!"
"Honey, I have to go to work. The decision is made. You're going and it's not an option. Goodbye, Sweetie."
That was it. The back and forth was over. She kissed my forehead and headed to the coat-rack. She then let herself out.
I poured the milk in my bowl. I didn't even have an appetite. I pushed my cereal away and pulled out my phone to check the time. It read '7:45'. If I didn't leave right then I would've definitely been late. I grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl because I still needed something in my stomach. I grabbed my bookbag and headed out the door.
---------------------------------------------------
At school I walked through the door anticipating the teachers to yell at me. In all honesty, I wouldn't even have cared. To my surprise the teachers were silent. I signed myself in and headed to my first period.In my first period I only really had two friends, Chelle and Katheryn. I've known Chelle since third grade but I just met Katheryn last year.
"Hey Chelle! Hey Katheryn!" I said as I caught them at their lockers.
"Hey Dani!" Chelle said as she opened her arms for a hug. I hugged her before breaking it and looking over at Katheryn.
"Hey Da-" Katheryn said before I pulled her in for a tight hug.
"I've missed you guys so much!" I said as I let go of Katheryn.
"We've literally only not seen each other for a weekend." Chelle said, confused but understanding.
"But still." I said with a laugh. "How is everything? I heard about your brother."
Chelle's face then became serious. She looked down to the floor. Katheryn looked at me in utter confusion.
"Grant died on Saturday night, Dani. I thought you got the message." Katheryn said.
I noticed a tear escape Chelle's eye. "I have to go." She said and sprinted away.
"Katheryn what happened? I thought the doctors said he was getting better?"
"Yea, that was until some jackass pulled the plug."
"What?! Who?" I said in rage.
"That's what we don't know."
"Why not just pull the tapes? And he didn't die he was murdered there is a HUGE difference."
"We already looked at them. No one found anything. All we did find is that apparently the Mayor and his wife knew about Grant which was strange."
"Mayor Glover? What was he doing there?" I said, more to myself than to Katheryn. "Katheryn I have to go; home that is. Tell Mr. Piers that I was feeling sick and I couldn't make it or something."
"Ok." Katheryn said as she closed her locker and walked to his class .
------------------------------------------------------
I left the school and charged home. When I got home I ran upstairs to my laptop to do some research.I entered the words "Where was Mayor Glover on May, 27th Saturday night."
There were only a few hundred so I decided to scan through them; none of them said that he was at the Hospital. I closed my laptop and went outside to get the newspaper to see if there was anything in there about the where-a-bouts of the Mayor. Of course, there wasn't.
There was no way I was going back to school, so I decided to just lay back in my bed and watch PLL to take my mind off of the Mayor and Grant, and just that whole ordeal.
