The Nerd's Secret Life [MAJOR EDITING!]

Day 10.

Hailey's Pov. 

 I guess I should call Mrs. Nelson to tell her that I'm going to be late for work by an hour. I wonder if she's going to allow me to miss an hour.

 What if she's one of those strict bosses that fires you if you miss even 30 seconds of work.

 It can't happen! I can't get fired! I need to get back into her doctor's office and at her desk to see if I can not find out more about this Benny or some other clue to move this thing along. I'm sick of going around and around in circles.

 Throwing the blankets off of me I climb out of my warm bed not bothering to go down stairs to get some breakfast because I don't want to play 'Let's question Hailey all morning.' 

 I walk over to my desk and grab my cell phone dialing Mrs. Nelson cell after a few rings she picks up.

 "Hello? Hailey? Why are you calling so early?" She ask's me. I thought she would sound sleepy or something like a normal person would in the mornings, but she sounds as if she's been up for hours already. And had a little to much coffee this morning.

 The simpler way of putting this she sounds like a preppy cheerleader.

 "Yes, this is Hailey and I'm calling because I have after school detention today and I'll be an hour late to work. Is that okay?" I ask her while biting my nails. God I really hope I don't get canned.

 "Oh, uh sure. Is everything okay? Cory said you weren't at school yesterday he said he wanted to talk to you about something." She ask's me. Crap, does this mean he knows my secret? Oh lord please kill me now.

 "Uh yeah everything's just fine, I just needed to rest yesterday is all, and did Cory mention why he wanted to talk to me?" I really hope he told her, but than again this is Cory were talking about here, he doesn't really talk to his parents, but after that near death experience for him maybe he has had a change of heart and started being nicer to his parents.

 Haha, I crack myself up, puh-lease, Cory being nice, when pigs fly.

 "Oh I completely understand with needing some rest, I just hope it doesn't happen again." She start's off letting out a slight laugh, "And no, Cory didn't mention anything about why he wanted to see you and talk." She finish's.

 "Okay, well thanks for letting me be an hour late and for understanding. I guess I'll see Cory at school then."

 "Alright Hailey, have a good morning. Bye." And she hangs up the phone.

 My mind is racing right now, my wallet had my F.B.I agent card, drivers license, and not to mention $250.

 Okay, Hailey, he probably doesn't even know, I mean everything was destroyed in the fire right, and even if someone did find it one of the firefighters would have given it to me by now right? Right?!

 Oh who am I kidding, I'm toast.

 Getting out of my car in the school parking lot I'm shaking like a Chihuahua here. I've never been so nervous.

 I mean this morning and calling Mrs. Nelson to see if I could be late without getting fired, having the most awkward and horrible morning ever because I avoided my mother and father at all costs, I didn't even eat breakfast so I'm starving and now I'm here and Cory could come up to me at any second and expose me.

 Wait, I'm the schools nerd, he wouldn't talk to me in front of people unless if was to humiliate me.

 He'd probably yank me into the janitors closet, but that's so cliche, it's done way to much if you ask me.
