Chapter 2: What friends are worth

It was morning and time to wake up. I have to wake up early everyday to make breakfast and drive my sister and I to school. Pancakes are my sisters favorite specially how I make them. Mother woke up and just didn't say a word she grabbed her coffee and went back to her room.

"Stella were gonna be late if you don't hurry up" I said in a frustrated voice

"I'm coming, but I just can't find my science book" Stella said

I rushed to her room to help her find her science book. Turns out it was under her unicorn bed sheets. We quickly ran to the car and I grabbed the keys then drove to school. Once we arrived I took my sister to her classroom. I then when off to find my friends in the school yard. There was no one there but my best friend Michael ,son of Omar Foster the talk show host from "Mornings with Omar".

"Did you finish that history paper?" said Michael

"Hardly , I mean I spent the whole night thinking about that chemistry project that is worth half our grade" I said

" God! I totally forgot about that now how am I supposed to finish it on time it's gonna take me forever ,it's impossible" Michael said in a screaming voice

"Calm down Michael ,Jesus Christ. Let's see, why don't you ask Valerie to help you"

"No way, I can't ask her to do that" he said blushing

"Come on its about time you'd tell her that you like her I mean you have had a crush on her since the third grade"

"Please, can't you just help me "

"I'd love to but I have to take care of my sister, you know"

"That is your excuse for everything" Michael storms off to french class sitting next to Jenna Lewis and Steve Washington .
Later on that day I was just in history class when suddenly mother shows up unannounced in my class room.

"Madam mayor, nice to see you, what brings you here?" the teacher said

"My daughter, Stella, is very ill, Georgia must come with me " said mother

We walked down the hallway and straight into her car, I sensed that something was wrong.

"Mother were's Stella?wasn't she sick? " I said

" Darling please calm down she is not sick"

"Then were is she?"

"She is still in school"

"Then why did you pull me out of school?"

" I need you to find someone"

"Who ?"

"Andy Thompson"

"Andy?"

"Do you know him?"

"Why is he a person of interest?"

"He stole something from me"

"What?"

"That is none of your concern now be a good girl and obey your mother" mother said in a demanding voice
I refused to tell her anything. Andy is my friend and I'm not gonna rat him out. Besides I'm sure this is just a misunderstanding and my mother is just being paranoid.

"I don't know him mother, now just take me back to school " I said .

"I'm not going back there"

"Why not?" I said, right before I was about to burst into flames of anger, she quickly replied:

"Just walk to school you need the exercise"

"By the time I get there school will already be over"

" Thats not my problem"

She dropped me off in front of a gas station in Red Street. The nearest bus station was ony 5 blocks away maybe if I run fast enough I could catch the next bus on time.
