The next morning I wake up to my alarm clock. I walk over to my closet and pick out a pair of jeans with a sparkly gray halter top. Next I grab my purse and head out to my car to head to school. By the time I get to first period, Alexander is still nowhere to be found. As the class goes on, I realize he is not showing up anytime soon.
'Where could he possibly be?'
"Psst…. Hey where is Alexander?"
I turn toward my best friend.
"I do not know, I am starting to worry."
"It is okay, maybe he is just running late," Lauren says.
"Maybe you are right."
'The problem is I know she is not right at all. I feel like something is wrong with Alexander because I have not seen him since yesterday. He is always around, so why is he missing suddenly?'
Miss Settles puts in a rosetta stone disk for us to practice our spanish. No matter what I do, I cannot quit worrying about Alexander and where he is right now.
'He has never been late for school ever so where is he?'
