A/N I'm going to fix my mistakes later, I just really wanted to post this.
I hit my alarm clock and sat up in my bed, I groaned at the pain that I felt in the back of my head. I checked the time and quickly got up. I grabbed a pair of science academy sweatpants and a white t-shirt. I put my hair in a high ponytail and brushed my teeth quickly. I grabbed some of my makeup and stuffed it in my bag, I pulled my phone off charge. I grabbed my phone charger and my headphones, shoving it into my backpack. I slipped my converses on and slipped out my bedroom quickly. I didn't bother saying anything to my parents. I grabbed an apple and walked out.
One of Peter's friends lived next to me, I walked up beside him. "Hey Ned," I said as I fixed my backpack and bit into my apple, "Hey Emma," I heard him say, I swallowed the piece of apple, "Have you heard anything from Peter?" I asked checking my phone. "He usually texts me every morning," I said and Ned shook his head. "No, I texted him last night about the science fair, seeing if you and him wanted to work with me," Ned said and we started walking into the school parking lot. I saw one of the basketball players start walking over to Ned and I. "Oh no," I heard Ned mumbled, I put my hand on his back and made him walk a little faster. "Just don't say anything," I whispered, I felt Caleb grab my backpack and jerk it off of me. I turned around quickly and punched him in the nose. He quickly dropped my bag and I grabbed it and started walking into the entrance of the school. "Em," Ned said catching up, "You just punched him," he said as he got beside me, "Yeah," I said as we walked down the hall to our lockers.
"What if you get in trouble?" He asked and I shook my head, "Don't worry about it, if I do, then I guess I do," I said as I put my combination in and opened my locker. "If you see Peter, tell him I didn't come today. I'm going to the library and studying for our test in English today," I said as I pulled my English book out and slammed my locker shut and walked down the hall. I slid through the crowd and walked down the steps, turning left I walked into the Library.
No one literally comes in, so peace and quiet. I went to the back table near the window and sat down, I put my feet in the chair in front of me and opened my textbook. I started going over the lesson that we have been doing for the past two weeks. I could see people walk down the hall outside of the library.
After I finished studying a bit, the morning bell was rung and I packed my stuff up and walked out is the library and back up the stairs. I haven't seen Peter, maybe he didn't come today. As I walked down the hall that was full of students I seen a guy standing at the end of the hall, my eyebrows furrowed. I felt someone grabbed my arm, quickly I turned and it was just Ned, "What is it?" I asked, "Peter still isn't here," He said, "Maybe he is just sick, you can hang out with me today if you want," I said, Ned nodded and I walked to my English classroom, Ned hot on my heels.
I sat in the back where I normally sat, Ned sat beside me where Peter usually sits. "Will you study with me? English is hard for me and I need to make an A on this test," Ned asked and I nodded, "Sure," I pulled my textbook back out and I started giving him questions. The tardy bell rang and I turned to see Peter breathing heavily at the door, I turned back around. "Mrs. Cane isn't here yet, we still have time to study," I said and Peter popped up beside me. "You're late," I said as I looked through my book. "Yeah, I ran because I missed the bus," Peter said still out of breath.
"I'm sorry Ned, I need to go use the restroom, I'm sure Peter will help you unless he leaves you," I said and I glared up at Peter. "Thank you for helping me while you could Em," Ned said and I nodded, "No problem. Will you tell Mrs. Crane when she comes in the room I went to the restroom?" I asked Ned and he nodded, "I can," he said and I stood up and slid my phone into my back pocket.
I walked up the middle row and out the classroom, luckily the bathrooms were just a few feet down the hall. I picked the rest of my chipped fingernail polish as I walked, I looked up and seen the man I saw earlier, "Hey, are you lost?" I asked as I walked past the girl's bathroom, the man said nothing, I can show you where the office is if that's what you're looking for I said. As I got closer I could see something in his hand.
