a/n: Hey I hope you enjoyed the 1st and 2nd chapter. Please R&R!! ENJOY!

Chapter 3:

(School has already ended, Manny went home, while Hazel had to stop at her locker.)

"O god, I missed all my classes this afternoon what are the teachers going to say. Well I better get out of here before Mr. Rad..."

(Mr. Raditch breaks off Hazel's thoughts.)

Mr. Raditch: Hazel! Why weren't you in any of your afternoon classes today? You weren't on the attentive slips. Care to explain, this little mix up? Or were you sick? "Kids these days. Maybe we should have cameras to know where they are for now on..."

Hazel: Well Mr. Raditch, I wasn't feeling good, so I just stayed in the bathroom.

Mr. Raditch: Well, I see next time you must report to the nurses office, otherwise a phone call to your parents will be prohibited.

Hazel: Yes Mr. Raditch.

Mr. Raditch: You can leave now. It's the weekend, Go-Go, Have Fun!

"That's weird Mr. Raditch is never this happy to get kids out of the school...I wonder what he is going to do?"

Hazel: Mm...okay Bye.

"Woof-ta! That was a close one. Now to get home, without getting in they eyes of Paige."

(Hazel starts walking down the hall next to the walls, and makes sure nobody is coming while she crosses to the front doors.)

"Okay cleared. Now just to open the door and make a run for the end of the block. Paige will never see me than. I hope I can run fast enough."

(Hazel pushes on the door.)

"I almost feel like I'm in a horror movie trying to escape the very last second and than I get caught. But this time I won't, oh no Paige isn't going to see me."

(Hazel makes it out, and sees no one in site. She starts to run down the stairs and to the corner.)

"Good thing i did that year of track in 9th grade. Or maybe not."

Paige: Hazel, who are you running from?

Hazel: No one. My mom said I had to be home by 3:15, and it's 3:15 now.

Paige: Oh, well here I'll give you a lift.

(Paige is in her moms brand new blue mini van with Spinner. Shes leans a hand out to show that its new and says:)

Paige: What'd think? My mom just got it. Come on will drop you off. We're going by your house anyways Spinner has to get to work. Right Honey-bee.

Spinner: That's right Honey-bee

(Gives Paige a kiss on the cheek.)

"Those to sometimes make me sick. Well I guess I could get a ride. I don't think she'll question me while shes driving; I mean Spinner is with. Why would she?

Hazel: Oh thanks that would be great! You know how my mom gets when I'm late.

Paige: Hop in!

(Hazel finally gets home, and sees a note on her front door. It reads the following:)

Hazel-

I went to the grocery store. Manny called and left a message she said it was

urgent and needed to talk to pronto. She sounded really worried, and she sounded

like was crying. I hope you call her back. The message is still on the machine and

she left her number.

Love Mom

(Hazel opens the door, and runs right to the phone without even waving or saying thanks to Paige.)
