My day went by rather smoothly aside from the bus ride and I now sat in my last class when the laughter started. The teacher was lecturing and as always I took very precise notes to prove to mother that I could do ordinary school just as I could homeschool. The snickers turned into bellows of laughter I was about to ask what was going on when I saw it.
A small piece of paper was making rounds through the classroom when it finally cycled through the bully from the first day of school which I now knew as Tyler threw it at the back of Zeke's head. The note hit home and Zeke turned to figure out what was going on when Tyler smiled his smirk and taunted, "Whatcha waiting for Frankenstein, open the note."
I was too late to stop him but Zeke opened the note and in it was a game of hangman with all the letters used up for the man was drawn hanging from the noose and coincidentally he wore the same earbuds in his ears that you never saw Zeke without. The hidden message was 'dO US aLL A FaVor aNd DIe' "The least you could do would be to learn where the capitals go and where the lowercase letters are supposed to be in a sentence idiot!" Zeke said and then crumpled the note and threw it in the trash.
At that I had to blink away the image of Zeke hanging there from a noose, in his room, with the note on his table just as I had seen it the day before. Did seeing it more mean that it was getting closer? How much longer do I have before help won't matter anymore?
