she's gonna see me and she's gonna wonder why I'm here,hiding under a desk and she's probably gonna think I'm some sort of a creep .she knelt down and she lowered her face down but before that.The teacher immediately walked in.
"Hello,can I help you".The teacher said as she walked straight for her
"oh my phone is under the desk".she meekly said as she stood up and looked at the teacher and I used that opportunity to slide her phone into the open
Phew,saved by the teacher
I quickly get the phone under the desk and leave it close to her leg
"The phone's right there".The teacher pointed at her feet
"oh".she nervously chuckled,seems like she's embarrassed
I wonder why the teacher is not looking for me but it all works to my advantage I guess
she bent down to get her phone and immediately left the classroom.The teacher also left for no specific reason
I peek from under the desk and get myself out of the cramped space
"ouch,my back is sore".I complained as I stretched to get my muscles working again.I glance at the wall clock in front of the class.My detention is over
Now where's that teacher,I need her to clear me so I can go home and relax
"Today was interesting".I mutter,I feel a strange feeling in my chest.Something I've never felt before

Tara's pov
oh my God,that was so embarrassing.I have to get home,that phone call was uncle Phil telling me he's at my house
"we can't hide forever Tara".I whisper to myself as I call a taxi and head home
I got home and to my surprise it was only uncle Phil present in the living room
"Hey, where's mum and dad".I asked,letting my eyes roam the room
"they're gonna be late".He said .That's strange,dad is always home late but mum always gets home before me
"okay".I said not trying to hide my suspiciousness
"Tara,have a seat".He drew in a long breath.Now that I have a closer look at him,he looks rather stressed
"This might come as a shock but my wife is dead".He said after fighting with himself
"Your wife...as in...Aunt Claire".shock registered in my mind.i could feel the tiny water droplets from my eye rolling down my cheek
"Yes Tara".He whispered
"No,No,No".I said trying to deny what was true.
"I saw her about two months ago,how could she die?".I asked, determined to know the whole truth
"look".He started after contemplating how to reply me
"Your aunt was sick,she just decided to keep it from all of us.She was diagnosed with blood cancer and by the time she found out,it was too late.The doctor said she had at least two months to live.so she decided to spend her last two months on earth having fun and doing what she loves".
