It's me again.

Today was Friday which meant that I was going to Lauren's place on the afternoon!

When I got to school, Lauren was so excited to see me.

It felt like we knew each other for years and years!

We both chatted for a while and then the school bell rang.

Mr. Smith announced that Mrs. Beth wouldn't be able to come to school for the next few months due to severe damages.

That's kinda bad news because Mrs. Beth was a pretty good teacher.

Anyways, after that, Mr. Smith told us to hand in our assignments.

"Assignments?!!" I yelled
"Yes, Emily. Did you forget to do it AGAIN?" said the girl behind me.
"What do I do now???" I shrieked.

"Why don't you go lock yourself in the bathroom until it's all over? I do it all the time." she asked.

"Really? Me too." I answered.

Okay, I know that I'm a HUGE coward but I learnt my lesson trying to lock myself in the bathroom when forgetting assignments.

Last year, I had an assignment to do, which I totally forgot about due to excessive procrastination. So, I ran to the bathroom and locked myself until class was over. But when I tried to open the bathroom door, I realized that somebody must have locked me in. And guess what? It was the last day of school, last period! I ended up locked inside the bathroom for 5 hours and all the students and teachers left the building. I finally got out when a janitor came for cleaning the bathroom. In fact, if the janitor never came to the bathroom, I would have died due to lack of food and water and my body would have been ashes by now.

Okay, so although I'm a coward but, I learnt my lesson trying to escape from my responsibilities. So, I had to face the consequences.

I got detention for a week (2 hours a day)

I think I should have escaped this one though because I totally forgot about Lauren and I hanging out in the afternoon.

After detention, I went to Laren's house and we played video games all day.

It was pretty fun. He started asking me silly questions and we both chuckled for a while.

I got the chance to know him better!

I learnt that he's great at cooking, he's clumsy and he was the POPULAR kid at his old school?!

"Why are you so shy and quiet now, Lauren?" I asked.

"Insecurities and stuff." he replied with a sigh.

"How many friends did you make here?"

"Not many. You're probably my only friend here."

"Oh, well. I'm glad to be your friend."

"Thanks a lot."

I also learnt that his father died in a car accident. I felt so bad for him..
