"Not so good," Ren replied, "My alarm didn't go off on time, so I couldn't take a shower, and I'm supposed to meet Bobby, in 10 minutes." Bobby was Ren's big time crush. "I feel for you Ren," Ruby said sympathetically, "I have an idea, but your going to have to move fast, and I mean real fast, follow me." Ruby lead Ren almost to the other side of the school, and into the girls locker room. "Now Ren, my idea is you can quickly take a short shower in here, while I distract Bobby," Ruby told Ren. "Ok," Ren replied not so sure like. "See ya in 5 minutes Ren" Ren went as quick as she could in the shower. She finished in 2 minutes, and went to dry here wet hair. "This is never going to work," Ren thought, "there's no way I can dry my hair in 3 minutes." When she finished, she tore out of the girl's locker room, and ran all the way to her locker. She didn't quite make it to her locker. On the way she was stopped by principle Wexler. "Ren, why are you running in the hallway?" Principle Wexlar asked Ren. "I'm sorry Principle Wexler, but I'm in a hurry, and I haven't had a very good start to my day…" "I'm sorry Ren, but I'm going to have to treat you the way I treat every other student at this school. Please see me in my office after school so we may discuss your punishment," Principle Wexler told Ren. The 5 minutes warning bell rings signaling the students to head to their first period class. Ren walks as fast as she can to her first period class, which happens to be math. When Ren arrives in the class room, she sees Ruby, and goes to sit by her. "Ren, where were you. You were supposed to be by your locker 5 minutes ago, but when I looked over there, you weren't there," stated Ruby. "Ruby, I'm very sorry, you see…" Ren started. "Ren, how did you expect me to stall Bobby till the bell rung. Ren, when I left you, I told you to meet me by your locker in 5 minutes. What you did Ren was not something a good friend would do to your best friend," Ruby told Ren, "If this is going to keep going on, I don't think we can be friends." "Ruby, if you would just let me explain, you would understand," Ren tried to tell Ruby, bu instead of an answer from Ruby, she got an answer from her math teacher. "Is there something you would like to tell the class Ren?" Ren's math teacher inquired. "No," Ren answered. "Then, would you mind explaining to me why you were talking after the bell rang tomorrow after school?" the math teacher asked. "I wouldn't mind," Ren replied. "Good, then I'll see you at 3:35 sharp, don't be late," the math teacher informed Ren. During math, Ren kept feeling bad for herself. First, she got in trouble with the principle, then she missed a chance to talk to her crush, after that, she lost her best friend, and now, she has to stay late tomorrow afternoon to chat it out with her math teacher. Today was not one of the best days of Ren's life. |
