It wasn’t uncommon for Mary to skip classes. She had done it in California and she was continuing the habit here in Hawaii. It was easy to get herself back into the classes the next day without having to draw attention to her habits to Aunt Deb and now her brother as she simply just forged a note excusing her absence.
When a couple of her friends suggested they ditch gym class, she was game. She hated gym and she was all too happy to have an excuse not to go. The group of girls left the school and went out to the parking lot, meeting up a group of guys from their year, one of them included the guy that she had a small crush on.
The group made their way to the beach and found a place to sit and hang out for the afternoon. When the group decided to head back to school, they had missed their afternoon classes completely. When her friend asked her if she had anything on her, she pulled out some weed from her backpack and shared with the group. When they arrived back onto the school grounds, they hung out at the edge of the parking lot, waiting for the final bell. It’d be easier for them to sneak back into the school later with the chaos of everyone filling the halls going to their lockers. The group hadn’t been there long when Mary heard a voice clear behind her and she turned to see one of the teacher’s behind her. Her friend moved quickly to destroy the evidence of the joint but it was too late, they’d been caught.
The teacher hauled them all to the principal’s office where the principal initially reamed them out and sent them back to the waiting room to wait for their guardians to be called and arrive so further discussions could be had. Mary flopped onto a chair, holding onto her bag. She was relieved that the teacher and principal hadn’t insisted in searching backpacks when the group refused to admit who supplied the weed. Mary still had a stash in her backpack and she knew she could be in a lot of trouble if she was found out.
As Mary waited, she pulled out her phone and frowned. The school was in the process of contacting their guardians but Mary wanted to give Steve a head’s up first. Maybe he wouldn’t be that angry with her. She doubted it but she could hope.
After sending Steve a message that he was wanted, she slouched in her chair playing with her phone while she waited for her brother to arrive.
