We had to part ways again after lunch because I got roped into helping a teacher move some things. I walked fast, determined to finish as quickly as possible—I wanted to get back to Ethan ASAP. When I finally handed over the last of the materials at the teacher's office, I opened the door and saw two teachers still there. Perfect, I was on time.
"Excuse me, I came to drop off these papers," I said as I entered the office and handed them to the teacher in charge.
"Thank you for your hard work," replied the teacher with a smile. "I'm glad you're on time; if this arrived any later, I'd be in some trouble."
Happy that I finished my task with time to spare, I was about to leave the office when I heard the voice of the second teacher.
"Kyle, can I talk to you for a minute?"
I stopped and turned.
Crap.
