Chapter 16
Billy was walking to school he was hoping that Michelle would be there since she had left early that morning before Billy had gotten a chance to talk to her. Billy was so lost in his thoughts that he did not here Zack and Jason approaching that was until Zack tapped him on the shoulder.
"Billy you in there?" Zack asked.
"What oh hi guys." Billy grumbled.
"What's up?" Jason asked him.
"Michelle."
"What's wrong with Michelle?" Zack asked sounding worried.
"She is still upset about yesterday"
Zack just looked at his feet.
Jason just frowned.
"Michelle was so happy when she had finished it." Billy told them. "You know what she told me."
"No what?" Jason asked him.
"That not only was it the first present that she had ever made but also the first time she was to give some one a present." Billy took a deep breath and went on. "She told me that every time she had made something her parents had sold them."
Zack and Jason both looked shocked.
Zack bit his lip and started to think of what he could do, he knew it was not his fault that all that had happened. Then an idea came to him. "Guy's I need you to cover for me for the first maybe the second class." Zack told them.
"What why?" Jason asked.
"Trust me I have an idea." Zack smiled at them and ran off.
Jason and Billy looked at each other and shrugged. Zack might do stupid things sometimes but when it came to cheering people up he was the best at it.
Billy and Jason soon got to school and headed over to there lockers. When they were half way there they could see Bulk and Skulk picking on Michelle but before they could go help Michelle had sent the both flying over her shoulder and into a wall. Michelle glared at Bulk and Skulk than walked off.
Jason and Billy looked at each other and ran after her.
"Michelle hold up." Jason called after her.
Michelle stopped dead in her tracks and turned to look at them.
"Michelle what happened back there?" Billy asked when they caught up to her.
"None of your business." Michelle shot at him. "Now leave me alone I am not in the mood." with that Michelle stormed off.
"We had better go warn Kimberly and Trini." Billy told Jason.
"Yah." Jason agreed "I shore hope Zack's idea works what ever it is."
"You and me both." Billy told him.
