When we reach workshop we were still laughing at the incident I had before. We met Mr. Richardson, which happens to his name, at the door.

"Mr. Campbell, Mr. Nikels"

"I'm sure you're laughing about how cool you think you are comeing late to my class."

"That's not it at all sir." I say everyone in the class starts to laugh.

Then I here Daniel whispering to me telling me to shut up.

I speak again. "I just...just..I don't know"

"It's fine just sit down." Mr. Richardson says

"Mr Campbell you are free to go. Mr. Nikels we need to talk outside for a minute"

I head in the class and sit down waiting for Daniel to come back. Then I hear yelling something about shit in a yard? I guess. The rest of class finished and Daniel didn't come back. My next class was gym me and Daniel don't share this class so I still don't know where he is, but I'll look for him at lunch.

~Lunch Time~

I'm still looking for him but I decide to eat lunch and then go to find Alls too.

I went to Alls to find Daniel with her...crying. I ran up to them and asked..

"What's wrong?, what happened to him?" I started to hold him but I hesitated, I didn't know what to do but I didn't care anymore I just wanted to hold tight so that's what I did.

"Daniel had a fight with Mr. Richardson about his dad...and his mom, so he skipped most of his classes."

"It must be a sensitive topic Mr. Richardson chose to talk about."

"Yeah. It was."

"Listen, Jace this is my best friend and I don't to leave him here but I can't miss classes or I'll be held back a year. So could you please stay here with him?"

"Of course."

"Alright, Daniel you can come to my house after school Jace you could come to if you want."

"I'll be there."

"K, see you"

"Bye."

I start to focus on how to cheer him up, or get his anger and sadness out of his system.

I talk in a soft voice. "Daniel do want to talk about it, vent if you want I'm all ears."

He looks up at me tears still in his eyes and a sad expression.

"Can I? Can I really talk to you? Share my secrets and personal feelings with you. Can I really do that?"

His expression makes me want to hold him more but instead I say...

"Sure, you can tell me anything."

"Okay, when I was little around the age of seven or eight I understood enough to know what death was My family went out of town one summer vacation. There was car accident me and my dad survived, but my mom didn't. My dad, planned an early funeral I don't know why but he did ever since then dad was depressed he buried himself in work even didn't show any type of emotions that's what I consider ignorance of my existence. my birthday is just another lonely day and his is another workday. I'm the only one that's visits mom's grave. Dad justs avoids it, I got in a argument with Mr, Richardson because he wanted to call my dad."

"How is that a problem?"

"I...I don't know anymore"

He looked at me in sad way once again, and that made understand his pain and emotion, how bad he was hurting. And that gave me an idea.

"Come on."

"What?"

"Let's ditch." I gave him a big flash of a smile. Wich made smile a bit he wiped his eyes and we start to jump the gate. And we start an adventure in place of a school day.
