The Secret Trip

'Jamie, can you come forward to the board and do this sum for the class.' Said Miss. Pritchard, Jamie's third grade teacher. Jamie walked to the front of the class

reluctantly, he wasn't afraid of doing the sums in front of everyone, he wasn't afraid of getting the answer wrong, he was afraid of the part where he finished the

sum and has to sit back on the wooden chair again. His father just gave him the worst spanking in his life yesterday; it's not going to recover soon. 'That is correct,

Jamie! Good job! Please return to your seat. Next up, Simon…' praised Miss. Pritchard. Tuning off what his teacher was saying, Jamie has to face his worse enemy,

walking back to his seat, begging himself not to make any hissing sound when sitting down, to cause other kids to notice he got spanked during the weekend.

Right before he secretly took a deep breath to find the courage to sit down, the lady from the general office knocked on the classroom door, 'Sorry for interrupting

Miss Pritchard, but is there a Jamie Howlett in your class?' said the lady, reading off a small note on her hands. 'Yes, there certainly is! Jamie will you follow Mrs.

Brown to the office.' Said Miss Pritchard to Jamie. 'Pack all your things too, your father is waiting for you in the office.' Added Mrs. Brown.

Logan looked at the clock on the wall of the general office, '10 a.m. good, Kayla is still busy workin' in the kindergarten. There should be enough time…' Logan

thought to himself while waiting his son to get down to the office. Mrs. Brown along with Jamie walked into the office, 'Mr. Howlett you just need to sign this sheet

before leaving.' Said Mrs Brown holding out a small piece of paper where it states the name of the student leaving early, the reason for leaving and a parental

signature on the bottom of the paper. Jamie who still has no clue what this is all about, focused on what his father was writing on the paper. On the column of

reason for leaving, his dad wrote, 'FAMILY EMERGENCY'. Jamie sure hopes the 'family emergency' does not involve any part of getting his butt tanned.

'Dad what's going on?' asked Jamie worriedly, while they were walking to his Dad's working truck. Jamie was thinking if it was his dad discovering who broke the

winter tires a few months ago that is getting him in trouble or was it his father finding out he stole 5 bucks from his wallet 3 weeks ago. Jamie trying to calm

himself down, thinking it couldn't possibly be these, his dad couldn't be That in a hurry to punish him for these. 'You'll know it later, get in the car.' Said Logan while

opening the vehicle door. Jamie who gently sat, avoiding as best he could for his butt to touch the seat, tried sniffing the air, to find out whether his father

was angry, but only to come to conclusion, he wasn't at all. This worries Jamie even more, his dad

grabbed him out of school on a Monday morning and wrote FAMILY EMERGENCY…

Jamie sitting next to his dad in the truck, trying to think of what to ask while his Dad was focused on the road, his voice trembling,

'Dad…did someone die?'
