143- Moving and managing

I scroll through my contacts, dial Maggie’s number, then wait anxiously for her to answer. It rings so long that for a moment I think she isn’t going to pick up and I’ll have to try again later, but in what I imagine is probably the last ring before it goes to voicemail, she answers just in the nick of time.

keeps getting detention after school. Since he ends up coming here late I called the school and looked into it. Apparently you get a detention if you turn up more than thirty minutes

late to school, and an after school detention if it happens more than three times a week.” She

sighs.
