Chapter Six:
"So I dropped him off and his parents were waiting outside, sitting on the steps. They looked so angry. I asked him if he wanted me to come in with him or at least take him to the door but he told me no." I told Ella.
She looked confused, "You are the worst story-teller ever. So wait, Fang got in a fight-what kind of name is that?-and his parents were really angry. So? Wasn't mom and dad angry with me when I got in a fight?" She said.
I nodded, "You have a good point, but the other day when I was there his mom was really horrible. She called me a slut!" I said to her.
Ella laughed, "Well, some people are just mean? What do you want me to tell you? His parents were mad. Everyone's parents are always mad about something. Anyway, I did what you said. I set my pride aside and I got a tutor. A very hot one at that, but he's in college or something."
I shook my head at her, "Focus on passing, not on some hot collage guy." She rolled her eyes at me.
"So anyway, I was thinking." Ella started, shoving a strawberry in her mouth.
"That's always dangerous."
Ella continued, not acknowledging me, "We should get a dog or something. It would be just what we need!"
I stared at Ella, almost with a sad expression, "The last thing we need is a dog Ella." She grumbled something under her breath about me being a party-pooper and took her strawberries upstairs to her room.
Fang didn't come to school today.
That was the first thing I noticed when I walked into the lunch room today. And on my way home, before going down my street, I made sure to walk down Fang's. A man was outside, he looked a lot like Fang so I figured it was his dad. I walked up to him.
"Um, hi. I'm Max, is Fang here?" I asked awkwardly.
The man shook his head, "No, he hasn't been here all day. And who are you?" He asked me.
"Um, I'm a friend. I was just wondering since he wasn't at school today."
The man (still not sure if it was his dad or not) laughed, "Wonder less." He said standing up. And with that he walked inside.
