The substitute

Chapter 15

I finally make it home and go straight for my refrigerator and grab my Oreos and head for the couch to watch some Big Bang Theory.

"Hey honey." Someone irrelevant says

"Hi dad." I say

"Wait dad!" I realize that my own father is sitting right next to me! I jump onto him and hug him tight till he can't breathe and finally decide to let go.

"How are you honey?" He asks

"I-I don't even know!" I yell still shocked making him chuckle

"Zoe I need you to calm down honey" He laughs. I take a few breaths and finally calm down.

"I have so many things to tell you" I tell him.

We both say so many crazy stories making both of laugh I tell him about me substituting and about Nate leaving and he tells me so many stories of how many people he saved. We both finish watching an episode of Big Bang Theory and I end up falling asleep on my bed.

I wake up in my bed my dad probably carried me to my room like he used to when I was a child. I check the time it's already six, I quickly get dressed into a white dress with purple flowers on it that hit just below my knees, I put a purple cardigan over my dress and wear black flats.

I try to look for my mother in the small house "hey dad? Where's mom?" I ask my father.

"Oh I think she left for work why?" Oh no she did not!

"I have to go to my job." I start to panic

"Well I can take you" He just came here I'd never let him do that.

"No you can't you just came here."

"Zoe I can take you" He repeats

"You don't even have a car." I tell him

"Yes I do." He says like I'm crazy

"You do?" No he doesn't

"Ya I do." He says we both walk into the driveway and he pulls out his car from the garage.

"Woah." I say astonished

"Come on let's go you're going to be late." He says I give him the directions to the school for the millionth time when he finally gets it.

"Try not to get lost going home." I tell him getting out of the car

"Haha" he says sarcastically making me laugh. I finally get into the school and into the classroom with a full house "Someone's late" I hear an obnoxious boy say. I walk to my desk and see a yellow note from Mr.Green 'another free day this will be the last tomorrow I will give you the task for you to teach' right next to the note is an attendance sheet was that here yesterday? I don't know. I start to read the names of the students and every name I say I always here the same response 'here.'

"Chris"
"Here"
"Liam"
"Here"
"Roxy" I don't hear a 'here' come from her mouth maybe she is making out with Harry again.
"Roxy!" I shout again, but nothing is there.
"She's not here." A familiar voice says I look up from the sheet of paper and it's Harry.
"Well do you know where she is?" I ask him in my sweetest fake voice ever "no" is all he says with a little glint in his eyes.

"Okay so today we have no tasks to do today either so were just going to get to know each other again." I say

"Yay." A few kids say sarcasm clear in their voices.

"But this time I want everyone to participate." I say staring a Harry

"What I participate!" He defends in his strong British accent.
