Decent Essays

Soon, only five minutes were left in class and Kenny McCormick hadn’t bothered to show up. Ace thought nothing of it when they first got to class; it was normal for him to be late. It wasn’t usual for him to completely skip the class. He was here today, she at least knew that much. As usual, this morning Craig and her had picked him up. They also had to drive him home, so it wasn’t like him to just not tell him when he was leaving early. Ace hadn’t heard from him since second period, Algebra II.

Ace was glad that he wasn’t one to press people on things.
