"Why were you so adamant on going home with Silver?" Craig asked Elena as soon as they got inside the car. Elena stared outside the window, trying to collect her thoughts and didn't hear what Craig was saying. She still remembered the look on Silver's face when she said she wanted to go home with her. She could tell that she was hiding something from her and that whatever she was hiding involved Matthew's disappearance from school. She took a deep breath and turned to face Craig to ask him why he hadn't started the car yet only to see him looking at her with a strange look on his face. "What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?" She asked when he still kept quiet for a while. "Is something wrong with you? Why are you acting weird? You've been acting strange since morning, what's wrong?" He asked, still looking at her. "There's nothing wrong with me, Craig. Why did you ask?" "You say there is nothing wrong with you yet I asked you a question some minutes ago and you did
"Oh alright. Well, it's best if I don't come in with you then," He said and turned on his car."Yeah. Bye , I'll see you tomorrow," She said and hurriedly ran out of the car before he brings up something else to discuss.She got inside the house and ran straight op to her room, not bothering to check if her mom was home."Elena! Is that you?" Her mom shouted as soon as she got to her room.She ignored the call and quickly took out her cell phone to dial Matthew's number.
"Mom, did Silver call?" Elena asked.She had just woken up from her nap and checked her phone only to find out that it's already late. She had rushed out of her bedroom when she heard some voices downstairs thinking it was probably Silver and Gaby who were waiting for her."Honey, Have you got no respect anymore? Didn't you see that I'm with someone?" Clara asked as she and the principal stared at Elena with disbelief."Mom, come on! Just answer this question. Did Silver or Gaby call at all? Did anyone of them come here while I was sleeping?" Elena whined, ignoring the look on her Principal's face and her mom's reprimand.
Silver and Gaby banged on Craig's door with a worried look on their faces. They had just rushed out of their car and were really worried after the call that Craig placed across to Gaby."Craig? Craig?" Gaby called , sounding really scared."Craig? Open up! We are here," Silver yelled.Craig jolted up from his sleep only to hear the sounds of Gaby and Silver yelling at his door.He stood up and walked closer to the door only to hear Gaby's voice breaking as though she wants to break into tears.He quickly the door and peered at them with a small smile on his face."Why were you yelling?" He asked, blinking his eyes."What happened? Are you alright,Craig? Why did you call me like that?" Gaby asked, staring at him surprised and peering behind him to see if something happened."Yeah Craig. You look okay for someone who ju
Elena jumped out of her bed as her alarm jolted her awake. She rubbed her eyes and saw that it was already daylight and quickly rush to the bathroom. She had gone to her room as soon as she spoke with her mom last night and quickly checked her texts, refreshing her messages to see if she received any text from Gaby or Matthew or Silver but she didn't see one. She plans to have a long talk with Silver once she gets to school to know why she wasn't called, not even once, to let her know that she won't be able to make it. "Breakfast is ready, Elena, come downstairs once you're done," Her mom yelled from the kitchen. She quickly rushed out of the bathroom and hurriedly dressed up, grabbing her bag and going out of her room. "Good morning Mom, "She said, walking past her mom and stretching her hands to grab a glass of water. "Morning love, how are you doing?" Clara asked, staring at her carefully. "I'm fine, what's with the look?" S
They got to the school and Elena got out of the car, scanning her eyes around the parking lot for Matthew's car and sinking her face when she couldn't find it."What's up? Looking for something?" Craig asked, looking at her."Uh? Nothing. Just wondering why the school's parking lot suddenly seem empty," She said quietly and closes the passenger door."Yeah ,it seems somewhat empty. By the way, have you heard from Matthew? I haven't seen him in a while and I'm guessing you probably keep in touch with him since you're close friends," He said, staring straight a her."I haven't heard from him. It's actually what I just thought of this morning," Elena said, avoiding his eyes.She didn't want to let him know that she had texted Matthew and called him but hasn't been getting any reply."I wonder what he's up to. He missed some volleyball practice and might miss their big game coming up soon. I hope he gets over what is wrong with him. I can't have
"There's nothing I can do about that, Elena. I have done what I can for you. A student is not allowed to leave the school while the school activities is going on. It's wrong and it'll be impartial of me to let you go when I refuse to let others," He said, after some time.He was right when he told Clara that her daughter and Matthew had something between them but were wrong in thinking they were dating.Matthew wouldn't leave without saying goodbye if they were dating, that's unless she did something to hurt him.Judging by the way she behaved, she probably did someone to hurt him. That's probably why she was trying to go and apologize to him."Please," Elena said, getting up from the seat and falling to her knees."Get up, get up right now. It hasn't gotten to that. Why do you really want to meet with him? It's obvious he doesn't want to see you. If he did he would have told you before leaving.""I just need to see him this last time. I promise I would do anything you say after this.
"No, he's not sick, he's just transferring to another school. I mean he has transferred already," Silver answered her, sounding anxious.Miss Thompson was always nosey but she hadn't ever experienced her nosiness since she got into the school and it's really annoying that she has to experience it at a time like this."Really? Why? I mean this school is good enough for him. Wasn't he in the volleyball team that won not quite long ago? Why would he want to transfer schools?" She asked, looking at Silver, oblivious to the way Elena stared at her."Well, that's exactly what we are trying to find out by going to meet up with him. When we get him, we'll make sure to tell him that you asked," Silver answered through clenched teeth."Now hold on, young lady. You will not speak to me like that, okay? I have every right to ask you these questions because I'm your teacher. If I don't ask these questions and something happens to you, won't I be blamed?" She asked, peering at Silver through her gl
