School the next day was dreadful, I was tired, bored and, I just want to go to the lake.
The bell rings and I speed walk to my car and go. I make my way down to 4th. Gage isnt there.
What?
Thats not like him to miss work like that.
I put the car in park in front of Piggys donuts and pull out my phone.
Scroll down to Gage and press call.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
Nothing.
Now im confused. I put my car in drive and just go home.
Just as I walk in the door Gage pulls up in his old beat up pick-up. I turn around and walk back outside.
"Where were you? Why didn't you call me back?"
He looks everywhere but my eyes.
I take a step closer and say "Hey whats goin' on?"
"Theres something you should know" he says slowly.
"What is it?"
"The reason I was gone all day was because--" he stops himself.
"Just tell me Gage" Im starting to get nervous.
"The reason I was gone all day was because I was at a college campus. I got a scholarship"
"Thats amazing!"
"I don't think you understand"
"What don't I understand?"
"The college is 11 hours away"
The lump in my throat doesn't leave.
