It has been about 2 weeks since I was in the box. I was in there for a long time. I think that the box has changed me a lot. The trail was almost here. It was this Saturday and today was Wednesday. I have not been to school since the box. I was out of the box. I did not want the kids to laugh at me because I would hate for the kids to start rejecting me. I would hate that. I told my dad that I did not want to go to school and he said that I could stay home. I was watching all the TV and computer time I wanted. I missed my friends and everything but it will be ok because I will go tomorrow.
The next day I went to school and saw all my old friends. I walked up to them and started talking. They weren't laughing at me at all. They were cheering and all of us were laughing. We had a good time and then the bell rang. We went to 1st hour and I started to think about the box and about Kyle in jail and everything. I was not paying any attention to what the teacher was saying and so I did not catch any of it. Then the bell rang and I started to panic. I was so scared that I did not know what I was doing or what we were learning.
I waited for my other friends and then we walked to 2nd hour together. I have most of my classes alone but I have 2nd will all of them. I was still thinking bout the trail and what I was going to say or if I wanted Kyle in jail or not. I then started to think about why he wanted to kill his mom. I wish I knew all the answers to my questions but I don't. I was there the whole time and I was not paying attention to what was going on in the lesson so then I got in trouble. I was sitting there in a daze out the window and then the teacher caught me.
Now I am in the office and I couldn't it help but think of it again. I was thinking about the trail and what I was going to say and stuff like that. Then I was called by the lady at the desk and I walked trough the door. I was in there for about 1 hour. I missed 3rd hour and I was so behind. I was thinking about anything at the time and then I had to run to 4th hour because it was all the way on the other side of the campus. I thought that it was bad enough that I had been out of it the whole day but it was about to get worse.
Finally Saturday came and my dad drove me to the court house. It was about 3:00 and the trail doesn't start until 4:00 so then I started to walk around. I came to the room where the trail was going to be held. I pushed in the door and walked in. When I went in I sat down and started to think more. Then I here a voice that sounded so familiar to me.
"Hello Cass," the voice said. "Are u surprised to see me here so early?"
"Yes I am," I said. "What are you doing here so early Kyle? Shouldn't you be in jail?"
"Yeah I was bit they let me have the choice of being here or being in jail before the trail," Kyle said.
We talked for what seemed hours but I knew it was not. I wished that the trail was over or that the would have to reschedule. It is now 3:55 and I said good bye to Kyle and went to the other bench to sit and wait for it to begin. I had no time to think anymore. The time came it was time. I was nervous but at the same time happy.
