Strings of Fate

Chapter 143

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.

“Hello dear, I’m just working on a new scone recipe. So let me know if you can’t hear me well. I’ve got you on speaker. But there’s no one else here so you can speak freely.” She says cheerfully.

“Oh, cool. Your scones are always amazing. Actually everything you make is amazing. Before I get into the reason I called, how are you? How have you been?” I don’t want her thinking that I only call because I need to know something, she is my friend after all.

“Oh sweetie, I’ve been alright. Logan is having a few issues at school though.” She adds. I

frown.

“How can he be having issues? He is so smart and well behaved, honestly he is practically the

perfect child.” I ask confused. An awful thought occurs to me.

“Wait, he isn’t being bullied is he? Because if he is I will seriously need to find those kids‘ parents and throw down.” I practically growl out. Maggie laughs.

“No, no. Nothing like that. He’s a quiet kid, but his problem isn’t with other students. He

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.
