-The Run Towards
"Aren't you going to get that?" Josh asked, with a confused expression on his face as I walked, no, rushed towards the door.
"Actually, that's probably Uncle Byron now, I've got to go!" I yelled as I ran out the door and onto the road. I had to get away and get away fast. My phone was still ringing as I ran towards the bus station. Yes, I knew the buses didn't run this late (Or early, is it?) but it was almost 4am, which gave me maybe an hour of waiting?
I knew I had to see who it was, so I took out my phone and looked at the caller ID.
Zach.
So, if I didn't answer him he'd be worried. If I did answer I might be able to get him to believe I'm still at school in my room. Well, I took that chance.
"Hello?" I said as if I was extremely tired.
"Hey, it's Zach. Meet me by your room."
"Um, no?" I whispered acting as if I didn't want to wake my roommates. "It's like 4 in the morning look I'm going back to sleep. Bye-"
"No! Please!" He pleaded. Then I remembered something I'd forgotten before: as my mother was walking back to her office after our little chat she set my report right back in the Hall of History.
"Is this about running away again? I told you I said no. Ugh! Fine, I'll go but instead meet me in the Hall of History."
"What?" He asked astounded. "Why? What about your mom?"
"Just do it okay? See you soon," And with that I hung up.
So you see that's how I gave away that I ran away and it's been barely two hours. So now I needed to hide.
I ended up in the back seat of the bus I was going to ride in the morning leading to the Richmond Airport in about 30 minutes. There is a Roseville airport but if Zach did manage to get out of school that's exactly where he'd look first. Oh, and did I mention Richmond Airport is an international airport?
