I skipped an entire school day and I knew the school was going to call home and tell them that I had skipped school and with a boy no less. I was in so much trouble and there was no getting out of this unscathed. If mum found out, she was going to kill me with her own hands.
Keith placed his hands on my shoulders and looked directly into my eyes. “Breath, in and out.”
I took deep breaths in and out to calm my racing heart then I looked at my house and the panic came back full force. I was so dead.
“My parents are so going to kill me for skipping school,” I said shakily. “I’m so dead, why did I let you take me away from school? Now I’m the one who’s going to suffer for my actions.”
“If it makes it better, I’ll go with you and tell them it was all my fault and not yours,” Keith offered.
