Chapter 3

The day seemed to drag on after lunch and Josh and Paige were no where to be found. Finally the bell rang. I got to my locker, grabbed my things and ran off home. I didn't even care what was going on around me; all I wanted was to go home. On my way home, I ran into this man and he didn't look happy at all.

"Sir, is everything alright?" He gave me no answer. I tried again.

"Sir?"

"Lay off will ya?!" He yelled.

"Whatever geezer." and I ran even faster to get home. Finally I reached the one place I wanted to be at, home. I unlocked the door and walked in casually as if nothing seemed wrong.

"Anyone home?" I yell. No answer.

"Good. My homework done it peace."

I walked up to my room and locked the door behind me although no one was home and no one could bother me. As I pulled my homework out I didn't realize how much I had. Then, I was cut. By MY RETARTED BIOLOGY BOOK. It was not nice but hey stuff happens. Anyway I got what I needed before I was rudely treated by my Bio book and started on my homework. Time seemed to wiz by as I looked at my alarm clock every now and then. What appeared to be like minutes was hours. Before, the alarm said 3:00p.m. When I looked back it was 5:00p.m.

"Damn was I busy for that long?" Now was the time to take a break. I walked downstairs hoping to see that everyone was back home yet. WRONG! No one was home. As I walked into the kitchen, I noticed a piece of paper on the fridge.

Hey honey,

Sorry we didn't tell you any sooner but Dad had something he wanted us to see and it was a big break through for your father. Besides you know how he gets when he's in his science state. Also I'm sorry that I didn't have the time to make you anything so you're going to have to cook something for yourself. Plus there is some money in one of the cabinets if you want take out and make sure you spend all of it either. One more thing I forgot to mention was that we are going to be away for a while and we know you have a job so you'll be able to live while were gone. You can have some friends over a few times but make sure you clean up after yourself. Last time you left me a huge mess for me and I didn't have fun with the pizza stain on the carpet. We don't know how long we'll be gone but we for have internet access so I'll be sending e-mail every now and then to see how you're doing. Well I got to get going your fathers bugging me.

Love you,Mom.

"Well it's nice to know that I'll be alone for a while which I don't know how long that's gonna be but I'm sure it's long."

So ya guess what I'm thinking……………….PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Since it was late I didn't even bother calling my buddies to tell them the news so I decided to save it for tomorrow. Ignoring the note I made myself something big and that would keep me full. Now the clock said 8:00.

"God……..school tomorrow, oh well. Time to hit the hay."

I ran off into my room and fell asleep the instant I fell upon it.
