About halfway through class, the intercom came on. "Hello? Mrs. Sindy?" said the secretary.
"Yes?" our teacher answered.
"Could you please send Ms. Sparks down to the office for a minute?"
"She's on her way." Mrs. Sindy said as she nodded at me to go to the office.
I had no idea why I was being called down, but I immediately rose out of my seat and headed to the door.
I gently let the door click as I closed it and I walked back up the stairs towards the office. It always feels so weird walking down an empty hallway in the middle of class. What's normally so noisy and crowded is oddly barren and silent.
As I walked along I was really hoping that there wasn't a problem with my schedule or something. I had heard of that happening to some people and all of their classes had to be switched. There's no way I would survive that, it would mean that i wouldn't be sitting next to Max in science and I wouldn't have any classes with L! I finally got to the office and opened the door when I saw my mom standing there with my lunch bag in her hand.
"Here you go sweetie, you forgot your lunch!" she said, handing me the bag.
"Oh, phew! I thought there was a problem with my schedule or something! I'm glad it was just my lunch. Thanks mom!"
I grabbed my lunch and headed back to my classroom, briefly stopping at my locker to throw my lunch bag in it. When I got back to my classroom I carefully open the door and went to my seat very quietly so as not to disturb the lesson. As soon as I sat down, Max turned to me and asked in a hushed tone what happened and I quietly replied that my mom just came to give me my forgotten lunch. Then we turned back to face the teacher and waited patiently for the bell to ring.
