The next morning she woke up on her own and got ready. She put on a short black skirt and a red tank top. She put her hair in pigtails. Angie walked in.

"Koby can you fix my hair?" she asked.

"Sure sweetie," she replied, "how would you like it?"

"I want my hair like yours," Angie said.

Koby put her hair up. Angie looked in the mirror, smiled and shook her head showing she liked it. She left the room and Koby followed her. Craig walked in still half asleep. He was still getting dressed. He put on a black tee shirt and a pair of jeans.

He had stayed up the whole night waiting for Manny to call. He thought that she must have forgotten or something. Joey was already in the car waiting for them to take them to school. Angie ran out to the car and jumped in. He honked the horn for them to hurry up.

"I am walking today Joey," Craig shouted.

Joey replied, "Well ask if Koby is walking are not."

"Koby are you walking with me?" Craig asked.

"Sure," she answered.

Craig shouted back at Joey, "She is going to walk with me."

"Ok guys see you when I get home," he said.

He drove off. Koby and Craig ate their breakfast and left. They met up with Marco. He walked the rest of the way with them.

"Hey man I been needing to ask you," Marco continued, "Did you ever here from you know who?"

"Manny?" Craig smiled, "Yeah she called me to let me know that they made it there."

"They?" Marco asked.

"Duh," Craig said, "Manny did not go alone."

"Oh yeah," Marco got what he ways trying to say.

They continued to talk about the situation and how he felt about it. Koby had a feeling it was getting kind of late.

"Craig, um what time does school start?" Koby asked.

"8:00 why do you ask?" Craig replied.

"Because it is now 8:15," she gasped. "Oh," Marco said.

"Oh my god," Craig looked at his watch.

They ran to get to school. This time Craig knew Snake would definitely call Joey. He would not be the only one in trouble. Koby was now with him and she had no clue. They got to school and went to the office to get a tardy. Marco started to crack up laughing. It was a very funny situation. Koby joined in and soon Craig did too.

Mr. Raditich, the principal interrupted, "I think you should be getting to class."

"Yes sir," Marco answered.

"Craig I would like to see you in my office, and you too," he pointed to Koby, "Marco you can go to class now."

Marco left the office. Koby and Craig followed Mr. Raditch into his office. They all sat down.

"You are Koby?" he asked.

"Oui, um yes sir," she answered, "I am sorry my English is not so good."

"Well at this school we have rules and I was surprised to see the Mr. Manning here had not made that clear," he said.

"I am sorry sir," Koby continued, "It was my fault, I am still not quiet unpacked and well I was looking for something for a class. I can promise sir it will not happen again."

He looked over at Craig, "Mr. Manning is that what happened?"

"Yes sir," Craig looked over at Koby, "That is exactly what happened."

"Well in that case you are free to leave," he pointed to the door, "and Miss Warner tomorrow I hope to see you here on time."

"Yes sir," she replied. Craig opened the door and let Koby out first.

Craig patted her on the back. They were quiet until they got into the hallway.

"Why would you cover for me like that?" Craig asked.

"Well some one needs to watch out for you," she laughed and rubbed his head, "Besides how could I let you just sit there and not say anything."

"You are the best," Craig hugged her, "that was my last chance before Joey got called in."

"Oh really," she grinned, "how about I go back and tell them in that case."

"Ha funny," Craig smiled.

"I know I am," she looked at him.
