Zail grabbed onto the doornob of his first period class.
RIIIIIIIIIING!!!
Zail tried to open the door, but it was already locked. He sat down by the door in defeat.
Akara narrowed her eyes. "I could act like your mom, make an excuse." She said, kneeling down beside him and thinking of ways to get him in without him being in trouble.
Akara nodded again. "Okay. It's okay." Her voice was light and understanding as she tried to calm Zail. She thought of ways to change his position in the school's attendance record.
Akara closed her eyes, thinking while comforting Zail. "Well, you could be sick, Zail. Then you wouldn't have to go to school today." she said quietly.
