Lucy see's Simon eating and talking with his friends in the cafateiria. She
walks up to him quickly.
Lucy: Simon come here for a minute.
Simon: Not now Luce.
Lucy: Simon we have to go to the office.
Simon: Just wait a minute Lucy.
Lucy: Simon, It's about Mom.
Simon leans over to his friends.
Simon: I'll be back in two minutes.
The two walk out of the cafateria.
Simon: So whats wrong.
Lucy: I don't know. The secratary just came and told me that the principal
wanted to see us and it had to do with mom.
Simon gave her a worried expretion. They walked to that office and the
secratary told them to just go into the office.
Pirncipal: Have a seat you two. ( he said this pointing to the two chairs in
front of his desk.
Simon: So could we please hurry up I have to get back to my friends.
Principal: Simon, I am sorry but you won't be going back to your friends today.
Lucy: Simon what did you do to get into troble?
Principal: Lucy neither will you.
The principal paused for a minute then said.
Principal: Your mother was in a car accident.
Lucy looked at Simon and Simon saw tears in her eyes.
Simon: Don't worry Luce, she probly just needs stitches or something like that.
Principal gave him a look that said more then that.
Simon: Or mabey just a broken arm or leg.
The next look the prinipal gave him said that it was bad.
Simon put his face for a minute ( he wasn't crying he just needed a few seconds
alone and he knew that it was the only way he was going to get it) and then
lifted his face up.
Simon: Where do we go from here?
The principal lifted his keys off his desk and jingeled them.
Principal: I'll drive you. The three climbed into the principal's car but no
one said a word. When they got to the hospital Lucy and Simon let themselves
out of the principal's car. Principal: Do you want me to go in with you?
Simon: No it's o.k. we'll go by our selves. Thanx for the ride.
