Chapter 44 ~ Gonna Get It Someday

Brianna's POV

I take out the field trip permission slip. 'I'm gonna need this for first period,' I think to myself. I look down at my phone to check what time it is. School starts in about five minutes. I take the lock and begun to put it back on the locker door. I feel a tap in my shoulder. I quickly put the lock in my pocket and shove the permission slip and other important papers for the field trip in my locker. I turn around and am faced with the one, the only, Adelaide. "Oh," I say, "If you wanted these, you could've just asked!" I open my locker and take out the knee pads and hand them over to her.

"Yuck!" she screeches and throws them away in the opposite direction hitting someone in the face. "Why would you give me those?!" She points at the knee pads which are now on the floor.

"Well, I thought you would need knee pads because you love crawling back." I walk over to pick up the knee pads. I unzip Adelaide's backpack and put them in her front pocket. "You're welcome in advance," I say. I give her backpack two quick taps and walk away.

"I will be collecting your permission slips now," Mr. Paisley says. Good thing I took them out before class started. I reach into my backpack and take out the first folder I find. I open it and it's empty. Wait, what? I take another folder out of my bag. Nothing. I'm confused. I search my whole backpack inside and out. Still nothing. Then it hits me. Literally hits me. I look to my left and a paper ball in under my desk. I get up to pick it up and unfold it. It's my permission slip, but it has holes and stains on it. What kind of stains? Make up...

I try my best to wipe off the powdery substances and smooth out the paper as much as I could. I took pieces of binder paper and taped them in the holes of the permission slip. Good as new! Not really.

I'm taping the last piece of binder paper in place when I hear someone clear their throat. I look up to face Mr. Paisley. "Oh hey..." I say awkwardly.

"Permission slip, Brianna?" he says tapping his foot up and down.

"Oh." I slowly hand him the messed up paper and close my eyes once he takes it, praying that his reaction wouldn't set sparks everywhere.

"What happened to your permission slip?" he asks pointing at a few stains u couldn't get out and the binder paper.

"Uhh..." Quick, Bri! I need good lies, and fast. "My mom and I went to the mall yesterday and we were in the make up section. I handed it to her but she was so engrossed in her new perfume that she dropped the permission slip into the eye shadow. Yeah, that's it," I lie.

"Ok, but why are there holes?"

"Ohh... Umm..." This guy just won't give up easy, huh? "There were tweezers there and the permission slip fell on the tweezers. Yup. Those things are sharp, you know!"

"Hmm..." He thinks for a moment. "Ok." He walks farther down my toe to collect the rest of them. I look around the room to see if anyone was watching. Adelaide is snickering in the corner with a few of her friends. She's pointing at me. She's gonna get it someday.

I open my locker to get my books for French. I reach up to get put the code into the lock, but the lock isn't there. What? I check my pockets to see if I left it there in accident. Well, would you look at that. It's in my back pocket. Did I leave it unlocked all day? I open the locker door and there are splotches of powder scattered here and there. I put my finger into one of the piles and rub it in between my thumb and pointer finger. Colored powder. Looks like blush. Who would wear this color though? It was a really hot pink. I don't know anyone who wears that kind of pink. I shrug it off and take out a tissue to wipe it away. I put the tissue in my backpack pocket for further evidence and get out my French books.

Hey guys! Longer chapter, yay! I don't believe in filler chapters, because they are all chapters to me. The last one may have seemed like it, but just know that I'm not calling it a filler. Call it what you wish, but to me it's a normal chapter :3. See ya all in the next chapter!

Till then,
