In trouble

“I just got off of the phone with the principal,” Mrs Little said. “You tried to skip class?!”

Dick gulped. “I… I’m sorry. I did, but I didn’t go through with it.”

“You know better. You could have been suspended or worse expelled!” Mrs Little yelled. “And why are you in your gym clothes?! Those are supposed to stay in your locker!”

Dick gulped. “My other clothes ripped,” he said. “I had no choice.”

“Get those clothes off. Now!” Mrs Little said. “We’re going to bring those clothes back to school.”

Dick’s eyes widened. But he obeyed not daring to argue as he pulled his shorts and shirt off leaving him naked. “M-mom, please. There’s this sleepover… today… I want to go to it.”

Mrs Little glared and then smiled. “A sleepover? Really? You want to go to a sleepover?”

Dick slowly nodded. “Yeah… it’s at Madison’s house.”

Mrs Little smiled wider. “Excellent.”

Dick looked wary waiting for the other shoe to drop.
