I arrived a little early, just to make sure I wasn't late, because that could have ruined everything. Mrs. Emily would be angry, my friend would blame me for ruining their concentration, and my concentration would drop too. We were ready in our chairs when our beautiful teacher asked me, “Where's Alan, Jerry.
Oh, I almost didn't realize that Alan, my friend who usually sat next to me, hadn't come yet. I… I don't know Mom, I tried to explain: “He didn't say anything and didn't call me that he will be absent today. Mrs. Emily would remind us, and if we did it again she would take our papers and we would get "zero" on the quiz.
