The Next Day
Mr. Perry: Okay class, are you guys ready for your quiz.
Class: Yeah.
Mr. Perry (smiles): Man, that sounded awfully dry there.
Class (laughing):
Mr. Perry: But okay, here is your quizzes.
(Cheetoe's phone rings)
Mr. Perry: No phones out.
Cheetoe: Mr. Perry I have to take this.
Mr. Perry: No phones while taking the quiz.
Cheetoe: Ight.
20 minutes later.
Mr. Perry: Okay, hand me your quizzes if you are done. Okay so you...
(A knock on Mr. Perry's door)
Mr. Perry: Hold on class.
Mr. Perry: Yes?
Hi.
Mr. Perry: Hello.
I'm Quetip's mother, Mrs. Johansin, did Quetip come to class today?
Mr. Perry: No, Mrs. Johansin, I did not see him in class today, is he in some kind of trouble?
Mrs. Johansin (gestures her hands upward): I don't know, I didn't see him in his room this morning, he usually lets me know when he is about to go to school, that's unlike him to leave and not telling me goodbye, I called some of his friends, they said they haven't seen him either.
Mr. Perry: Wow, uhm... I'm sorry Mrs. Johansin, I will ask the students have they seen Quetip around, you do not think he has gone missing, do you?
Mrs. Johansin (putting her hand on her forehead with her face downward): I'm starting to think that, Oh God.
Mr. Perry: How long has he been missing?
Mrs. Johansin: Since last night, this is not like him to just leave without me knowing.
Mr. Perry: Well, give him 24 hours to show up, if he does not show up after 24 hours, check in with the police department.
Mrs. Johansin: Thank you, Mr. Perry.
Mr. Perry: No problem, that is so unlike Quetip to not show up for class, he is always here joking with the class, he is the class clown.
Mrs. Johansin (smiles sadly): Yeah that's Quetip for yah.
Mr. Perry: Yeah, but other than that, he is a driven student that listens, I have not had any problems with him, it is just that he could get a bit carried away with his jokes that I have to stop him sometimes.
Mrs. Johansin: Yeah that's him, the joker, that can't shut up.
Mr. Perry: Yeah, but I will let the students know Mrs. Johansin.
Mrs. Johansin: Okay.
Mr. Perry: I will do what I can.
Mrs. Johansin: Thank you, Mr. Perry, Quetip told me how good of a teacher you are.
Mr. Perry: Really?
Mrs. Johansin: Yeah, he said you are teaching them some interesting stuff.
Mr. Perry: Yeah, I try to arouse my students.
Mrs. Johansin: Okay.
Mr. Perry: Well, Mrs. Johansin, you take my advice on waiting and than contacting the police.
