Forgive me!

I went to Adrienne's class to see where she is...

I started looking for her around lunch time but I could not find her anywhere: she was not outside, not in the rooftop, nor with her classmates/friends and not in the lunchroom.

I spend the the rest of the lunch break looking for her but with no results.

"Excuse me. Do you know where Adrienne is?", I asked. "She already left" was the response I got, from one of her classmates. "Then how was she yesterday?" I asked again. Maybe she is busy doing something and left early these days.

I was not here yesterday because my phone broke from the other day. For that reason, I was not able to reach her. Then, I was not able to set an alarm and so, my mother woke me up late.

"She was actually not present at school yesterday." Then I asked her classmate why Adrienne did not come but her classmate didn't know anything about that.

Adrienne was up to something in break-time. She was not with her classmates and they did not get the opportunity to ask her anything.

I'm very confused. Adrienne was here today but not yesterday - she left early and most likely did not have any lunch. What could possibly be that important?

What's even weirder, is the fact that she didn't try to find me. What if she's mad at me for not responding ti her texts - I do have an excuse for that. But I have to meet her to tell her about that.

I was determined to see her. She might be upset for all I know. But I didn't know where she was. I thought of the places that she might go to after school if she is not going directly home. I might be able to find her this way. Here are the choices that I thought of:

1. She at the park near out neighborhood. It's a nice quiet place with few people.

2. She took the longer road back home, but I can't think of a reason to take that route.

3. Maybe in the bookstore or the library (that's actually two options). There was this book she wanted real much but was too broke to buy.

She could have gone to the library to get it but there is also this chance that she might have gone to the bookstore again. She was waiting for them to put a discount on that book considering it was the last copy they had, that much do I know.

The probability of her choosing the second option is pretty low. Most likely it was the third option.

After my shower when I came home after my trip with Zachary, I had dinner, spaghetti.

The phone rang on the bed in my bedroom when I was in the kitchen. He called me around 7 pm. We were texting previously so I was surprised.

I always like to have something sweet after a meal. I left the phone to charge in my room as I went to bring something.

I came back to the bedroom afterwards, to see a missed call from Zachary.

"Ed, I'm outside your house, could you come down. OK, thank you. I'll wait for you near the park. Yeah. See you, then"

-Call ended-

I wanted to meet her to give her something - I hope she likes it...
