Homeward bound

I almost turn around and go back into the building. My phone chimes with a text from Lewis. It says "Be there in five, Eric is driving like a madman."

I smile. I’ll wait for them. It still sucks that I missed skip day, but it was definitely a school day like no other.

Sure enough, five minutes later the sound of Eric’s engine fills the street, followed by the screech of brakes as he comes to a hard stop by the curb. I hop in the back seat since Lewis has shotgun of course. I share the good news that I made an A on the test. I naturally leave out the juicy details.
