Authors note: I wrote this story because i wanted to write a short story and obviously it turned into a large story I had so many ideas i like this story because its is one story wrote that I don't relate to myself
It was a beautiful Monday morning in Denver, Colorado the sun was just rising over the horizon as parents were waking up there children to get ready for school. School only had 3 more weeks before kids were released for the summer so everybody was up but Skippy. Skippy didn't want to go to school he just wanted to play video games go to the park and do other things that didn't involve alot of thinking. But Skippy's mother said “Skippy in 3 weeks you will be able to do all that stuff without skipping class”. Skippy cried and begged but his mother said no time after time until Skippy hatched an idea he packed up his skateboard, his football and a few other things in his backpack His mother yelled “Skippy its time to go” Skippy yelled “im coming.”
When Skippy was in the car with his mother he was silent. “Wow sure did change your idea of wanting to skip” his mother he said “yea well Harold texted me and told me we were having a party in class today”:. “oh well sounds like fun” his mother said as she pulled up to school Skippy waved his mother good bye as he got out of the car he walked slowly up to the doors. He noticed his mother was gone he turned and went behind school he went to the Field that was right behind his school decided he would stay there by himself all day long hey it beat going to school Skippy thought. when he got out of sight from any windows at school he sat down and pulled out his cell phone. He called school and pretended to sound like his father “ I am sorry but my son Skippy Johnson will not be able to come he is very sick” he told Mrs. Smith the Secretary she said “OK” and hung up sounding very busy.
Skippy just hung out in the grass and skate board on the pavement a few inches away when he heard a noise it was a loud crash he went to go look at what the sound could have been when he noticed some guy trying to get into the school he was armed with a weapon in his hand Skippy was so scared his fingers were tingling his teeth were chattering. He quietly put his things back in his bag and ran off so the person would not hear him “I told my mom i should have stayed home” he said under his breath he knew that the guy wouldn't get in because there school had a top notch security system. So Skippy ran and ran and ran until he felt he was safe when he stopped he was in woods he had been running for the past hour where had he gone!
Skippy had walked for another hour still paranoid about the man that could have followed him after another hour of walking Skippy was tired and just wanted to go home. He looked at his watch it read 2:00 which meant he had 45 minutes to get out of the woods and go to his moms car he walked for another half an hour he plopped down on the ground and shed a tear or two and he told himself “I wish I would have gone to school today” he never thought he would say that. Skippy hated school.
He had to find his mothers car in 15 minutes or he was toast he started frantically running through the forest to find his way out at 3 he knew his mom was worried sick probably called all his friends and knew he was in trouble because they told her he wasn't at school today. Then he remembered he had his phone out but it had no signal he walked and walked and walked to try to find a cell phone signal until he finally found himself outside the forest he called his mom and she said “Skippy where have you been you are grounded mister where are you are you all right”. Then Skippy interrupted her and said “mom I am fine I am just lost but I am standing right by a street sign that says Forest grove” he said then his mother said “Forest Grove? forest grove forest gro Wait i know where that is i will be there in 5 minu”. She hung up before she could even finish the word.
Skippy sat down and waited for his mother and she was there in 2 minutes flat he got up and walked over to the car and his mother started yelling at him before he opened up the door his mother told him he was grounded till summer vacation. And that she wouldn't be leaving school from this point on until she sees him go in the door until he can drive on his own. the next day he asked Harold what they did in class Harold said “it was actually really fun the whole day we learned about stranger danger. They even Had someone pretend to break in” then Skippy stopped dead in his tracks he ran from a fake robber with a fake weapon and got lost for no reason at all from that day on Skippy never missed a day of school or work for that matter.
