Adelmo starts packing up his bag with schoolbooks and school supplies looking pissed off. "He's such an annoying little shit," he said out loud.

Adelmo hears a knock on his door. "What is it?" He asked.

"Mom told me to apologize to you...but you also need to say sorry!"

Adrian said, clearly not doing this by free will. "Yea, im sorry, Adrian."

"me too, Adelmo." They both smiled a bit, then they continued getting ready for school.

"bye, mom!" Adelmo shouted as he was about to close the door behind his back. "Bye! behave at school!" His mom shouts back.

Adelmo starts making his way to school. He can't wait to see his friend

Viturin again. He wants to hear his opinion on Adelmo's favorite anime that he recommended to him.

Adelmo looks at his phone, scrolling through Instagram looking at pictures of him and his brother. He sighs and closes his eyes. "If only we didn't change as a person..."

The bell rings, Adelmo runs into class sweaty and breathing heavily. "I-" he catches his breath. "I made it in time." His friend Viturin is pointing at a chair next to him. "Adelmo, over here!" Viturin yells at him.

he looks up and walks towards the seat next to Viturin.

Adelmo sits down with relief. "Why are you so...sweaty."

Viturin asks. "I was slacking off on the way, I didn't have the time on my mind," Adelmo responds. "Silence!" Their class's history teacher Mr. Hansen yells.

right away, everyone shuts up and stops with what they were doing.

"Good, now open your history book." The teacher said.

"psst, Adelmo, did you do your homework?" Viturin whispers.

"Please shut up, I don't want to get sent to the principal's office," Adelmo whispers back. "Come on man I forgot to do my homework and-"

"Viturin! Why are you talking during my class?" Mr. Hansen yells.

"well...uhhh...I was just telling Adelmo here which page he needs to open!" Viturin says getting a bit sweaty. Mr. Hansen looks annoyed.

"Is that a good enough reason to interrupt my-" Adelmo stands up, interrupting Mr. Hansen. "Don't listen to Viturin, he's taking the blame on himself to protect me!" Adelmo shouts out. "Is that so?"

Mr. Hansen asks. Adelmo puts up a fake smile and nods.

"what the fuck man! You got us both into trouble!" Viturin shouts as he and Adelmo look for the principal's office. "Sorry..." Adelmo mumbles.

"it's okay, I guess, idiot," Viturin says. Adelmo peeks into some classes hoping to see a girl he likes, he is that desperate. "Were here," Viturin says quietly. They both gulp and knock on the door. "We were sent by Mr. Hansen," Adelmo says. The door opens to reveal a small girl, looking like she's in 3rd grade. "Ummm...are you the principal?" Viturin says.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

"do you mean mommy?" The girl says with a cute voice. "Oh, phew, yeah, I meant your mom." The girl turns around and walks away. "Hey! Rude! Kids these days..." Viturin says annoyed. "Do you even know what you're saying?" Adelmo asks him. Suddenly, a beautiful woman stands at the foot of the door. "Wow," both of the boys say. "Hello, students...what happened?" Adelmo and Viturin look at each other. "Are you the principal? You seem pretty unprofessional," Viturin asks. "No of course not, im her daughter. And thanks, brat" she says. "Well, come in, take a seat."

"so, what you're saying is that your history teacher was being a piece of shit to you and your friend for trying to help him?" The woman asks.

"mhm," Viturin answers. "I see...you know, I don't believe that." Adelmo and Viturin look at each other. "Why do you think she would have believed that?" Adelmo asks. "I don't know I just came up with it..."

The woman looks at them with a smile on her face. "Tell him that you guys got your punishment, alright?" "Yes, ma'am we will. thanks for letting us go," Viturin says politely.

"Bye guys!" She yells as the boys walk away.

"dude, she was a total hottie," Viturin says with a wide smile.

Adelmo nods slowly. "I'm a bit worried, she looked young, barely older than us," Adelmo says, stuttering a bit. "She had a kid, and what happened to the principal?" Viturin pokes him on the cheek.

"Don't be so worried all the time, she's probably just taking care of her younger sister, or something," Viturin says trying to comfort Adelmo.

"I guess..." Adelmo says still stuttering.

the bell rings and school is over. "Hey, Viturin, school is over, let's walk home," Adelmo says. "Sure, was gonna ask you to study with me anyway." They start heading home, eating snacks on the way.

"Don't you think it sucks that we can't make any new friends?"

viturin asks suddenly. "Yeah, but we are with only 8 people in our class and have around 60 people in our school, so it's not that weird," Adelmo responds. "How so?" Viturin gulps. "Well... never mind, forget it."

Viturin quickly responds. They continue to walk in silence.

the road is busy with cars at the moment, a lot of people coming home from work. Adelmo sees a girl walking her dog. "Isn't that dangerous, walking your dog next to a busy road like this?" Adelmo asks Viturin.

"Yeah, but people will be people, stupid and ignorant. At least the dog is on a leash," Viturin responds. "Weird," Adelmo mumbles to himself.

suddenly, they hear a loud noise and a scream right after.

they turn their head.

the girl with the dog, a car had crashed into them.

their eyes widen in shock. The car had crushed the dog's body, the girl was sitting next to it, crying and screaming her lungs out.

what. The. Fuck. Is all that Adelmo could think about at that moment.
