Hello again!

I got the idea to write this one before going to the doctor's office when I was sick myself- now I am actually making it into a story.

Enjoy! (and please review)

"Ferris, are you sure you'll be okay?"

"Yes, Mom."

"Well guys, it's me again. Mom had to call me in sick again, but this time, I really AM sick. My principal is going to think that I am just skipping again, and so will my two best friends, Cameron and Sloan. But that's not the worst part. If I don't somehow get to school, I won't graduate high school. And Mom and Dad'll kill me if I don't do that."

"Mom, I HAVE to go to school!"

"Oh, Ferris, you're too ill to go to school. Plus, you're contagious, and you can't get other people sick."

"What am I sick with?"

"Ummm…"

"But Mom, you don't understand…" Great. If Ferris told his mother the real problem, he'd be in deep shit. He wouldn't be able graduate high school, and even if he were back in high school next year, he wouldn't be able to skip school ever again!

"Sorry, Ferris, I have to go to work. You're going to be alone for the day. Will you be all right?"

"Yeah, Mom."

Ferris heard his mother walk out of his room and down the stairs. Then he heard the front door slam. He muttered, "Man, I wish I weren't even IN this shit…" Then he started to develop a plan.

This wouldn't be a problem at all, except Ferris's Mom got home from work at 2:45. Ferris got out of school at 3:30.

He was going to have to skip last class.

Well, he would have to be there for attendance call, but…

I HAVE to be in last class for attendance, and then I have to somehow get home, or Mom will find out!

Within seconds, Ferris Bueller had a plan.

"I will go to school until 5 minutes after last class starts. I will ask to go to the bathroom. I will go home, wait for Mom to arrive, and tell her that I'm going to be sleeping and ask her not to come into my room. I will run back into school and get back to class until the end of the day. Then I will sneak back to the house. I should be able to pull that off. After all, Ferris Bueller never gets caught."

Ferris dressed and went downstairs, only to see his sister's- Jeanie's- car turning onto a road, nearly out of sight. He would have to hitch a ride to school.

He sighed. "This might be tougher than I thought."

This is a short chapter. The whole story is going to be short, but I guess I'm still dividing it into chapters.
