" Hello Principal Gavin, how are you?" Matthew asked as he came closer to the school principal.
" Don't act all friendly with me young man, you are supposed to be in class…" The man replied.
(Crap! It seems he's not in the mood for chit-chat,...what to do…) Matthew stopped and the principal stopped Infront of him…
"Wait... aren't you Matthew Grayson, you're the top student in the school…, but that doesn't mean you'll get away with this easily I want an explanation…" said the principal.
(Wait… he's giving me a chance to explain...I better not screw this up… I could straight up report Donald for keeping porn, but that's just going to make things difficult.)
"I'm waiting…-"
" I'm sorry I'm not in class sir, I lost my inhaler and I couldn't find it in my backpack, so I thought I might find it in my locker."
"And where is it?"
" Here it is…" He ran his hand through the front pocket of his bag and pulled out a yellow and black inhaler and showed it to him.
" I see, well you better hurry, you're gonna miss out."
" Thank you sir…" Matthew said as he turned around. ( Guess luck is on my side...more or less, my reputation as a model student saved me.) He thought.
The teacher stood in front of the class, explaining how functions are supposed to work. The lesson just seemed to blur past Lora, she was still wondering where Matthew went. Suddenly a knock was heard at the door.
"Come in!" Said the teacher. Matthew walked in and the class started muttering.
" Keep it down!" The teacher ordered the class.
"So, Matthew Grayson...this is unusual...why are you this late to class?" He asked.
Matthew just stood silent, the rest of the class stared on and someone sneezed…
" Matthew you're wasting my time-"
" I'm sorry but it's kinda embarrassing…" Matthew finally responded.
" I'm sure you can tell us, we're all friends here…"
Matthew paused and looked around the class.
"Fine, I had a running stomach and I've been stuck in the bathroom since recess started."
Giggles could be heard around the class and the teacher sighed. Suddenly, Samantha laughed out loud and the class followed…
"Go take your seat Grayson…" said the teacher. Matthew proceeded to his desk and sat down.
"Okay... quiet down everyone, let's continue where we left off." Said the teacher.
" What happened!?" Lora whispered over to Matthew.
" I can't talk about this now...let's do it later." He said.
"Okay ..."
They continued learning. Later when class was over, Lora and her friends were giving Dante a tour around the school. While Samantha was showing Dante around, Lora and Matthew followed behind, talking.
" You didn't tell me where you went." Said Lora.
" Well it's simple, I went and broke into Donald's locker, took the weed...and threw it away."
" You did what!?"
" It's no big deal, I got rid of the weed, so everything's okay."
" But how sure are you that no one saw you?"
" Well no one was in the hall...oh the school principal saw me though…"
"HUH!?" Lora said out loud and everyone stopped.
"What is it?" Sam asked. Lora looked at her friends, Matthew face palmed himself. When her eyes shifted towards Dante she suddenly looked down. Sam and Matthew took glances at each other.
"You know what the real question is? I wanna know…do you two know each other?!" Said Sam.
Dante and Lora looked at Sam, and then each other. Lora again looked away and Dante ran his hand through his hair.
"Well somehow, kinda." Said Lora.
" Yeeah, kinda…" said Dante. Matthew and Sam looked at each other.
"Well then, we'll be going home. Lora you can show him the rest of the school...see you-" Sam feels a firm grip at her jacket when she trys to move…
" Don't you dare leave me here alone!" Lora whispered aggressively.
" Let me go Lora! You're gonna ruin my jacket!" Sam whispered back.
" Samantha I swear you don't wanna do this!"
They kept struggling quietly for about 15 seconds. Dante looked over at Matthew for some kind of explanation of what's going on, and Matthew responded with a shrug. Sam finally managed to pull away from Lora…
"Bye guys, have fun!" She said almost breathlessly.
Lora waved with a weird expression on her face. And an even weirder smile.
