Chapter 20
Bella was sick of everyone talking about Angela. There was an old saying out there about everyone knowing everyone's business in a small town. The only problem with the saying was she didn't live in a small town. She supposed the same was true of a small school.
Was three hundred students split between three grades considered a small school?
She shook her head as she raised her hand.
"Yes, Bella?" her teacher asked.
"May I be excused to the nurses office? I suddenly don't feel well."
After a moment, her teacher nodded.
Bella quickly left the class and headed down the hall, but instead of going into the nurse, she stepped into the main office.
"May I use the phone?" she asked Mr. Greene.
The office assistant was generally considered an ass by the vast majority of the students, as almost everyone knew he took issue with anyone who wasn't a Caucasian God-fearing christian, but he knew how to do his job.
He nodded his head to the phone on the corner of the desk.
She picked it up and dialed Garrett's cellphone.
