DITCH

DAY

NOTE: I do not own any of these characters. They belong to the WB and only the WB. But I do own Leslie and anyone you don't recognize.

Summary: The hockey team and cheerleaders finally have their celebrating skip day. It seems taking a break from school is pretty cool. But don't think about trying it or anything.







CHAPTER 7



Leslie and Connor headed downstairs the next day. They both had a book bag (a clever decoy) on back.

"See you later," said Connor.

"Have a good day at school," said Angel.

Leslie quickly stopped and turned back around. "What's that suppose to mean? What do you know?"

"Are you okay?" asked Fred.

"I'm fine. I'm good. Let's go, Connor," Leslie said quickly.

She hurried out of the hotel. "Uh, she had coffee," said Connor uneasily. He hurried after his nervous friend.

"Weirdoes," said Lorne in a singsong voice. "But who am I to talk?"

"Really smooth, Leslie," said Connor sarcastically. They went up to the bus stop where they were supposed to meet the other teens. Most of the other cheerleaders and hockey players were already there.

"Hey, I panicked," said Leslie. "I've been feeling weird lately and guilty."

Then the hockey team captain walked up. The head cheerleader accompanied him. She was a tall orange like blonde.

"All right, guys," said the team leader. "Let's do this."

The bus took them to a large pizza parlor. Inside they had large pizzas and drinks. Leslie was going crazy with sprinkling parmasion cheese onto her slice of cheese pizza. She and Connor had a table of their own.

"Uh, what's with the cheese?" asked Connor.

"I can't help it," said Leslie. "This stuff is totally delicious. I go nuts over cheese pizza. And when I have it with a seven up I just go crazy! What kind of pizza do you like?"

"I'm not really use to this," said Connor.

"Oh. I forgot."

The boy took a sip of his RC cola. "But this soda is pretty good." Leslie gave him a smile. Ditch day was going really well.

All of the teenagers made sure to get home at their usual times. Lucky for Connor and Leslie no one was in the lobby when they got home. Suddenly the phone went off.

"That might be Principal Henry snitching on us," said Leslie.

"Right. I'd better get it," said Connor.

As he headed for it Cordelia suddenly came down and answered it. "Hello," she greeted. "Really? Oh, I see. Thank you." She hung up. Cordy smiled at the two teenagers. They smiled awkwardly back. "Oh, Angel!" Uh-oh! That had been the principal!



A/N: Well, you guys asked for conflict out there. Now you have some. But trust me, there will be more to come.
