Lullaby Read online

  I read out loud so that Sammy could hear the letter that was on Sammy’s table in her room.

  “What? Was she been serious?” I asked

  “Ya I think so otherwise she won’t be telling all these stuff just for nothing. I even tried calling her phone and it was switched off too. She never keeps her phone off. “Sammy groaned

  “Let me try sending her a mail she always answers her mails” I replied

  “No use girl lets get permission from the headmaster and leave to her place soon as we can. Though she asks us not to come, we have to check what’s going on”

  ‘Ok then lets go to the headmasters’ office”

  Sammy and I went to the headmaster’s office to ask his permission to leave to see Adriana. And we tapped on his door and stood back until his assistant ask us to come in. few seconds later the door opened and the lady assistant wanted us to come in. then as we slowly walked in and suddenly we saw our worst nightmare standing next to the headmaster, the chemistry professor and both of them were looking at us.

  We praying that we will not meet up with the chemistry professor. Because if he sees us he won’t let us out of the class till all the lectures finishes that is till 4.30 pm because he caught us several times sneaking out of the class and now he always keeping his eye on us.

  All of our plans are goner be totally screwed up. We were hoping to lie about getting items needed for some project related to chemistry. Because we discussed to not to tell him about Adriana because he will feel suspicious knowing that she didn’t meet us and just left a letter so we thought of asking permission to go to the mall to get some items for the project that we have during the chemistry lecture

  “Sammy... plans need t be updated” I whispered to her ear.

  “No time for any new plans just try to come up with some reasonable excuse because we need to get our self out of the damn chem. lecture if we waner catch her on time.” She noted even softly to me

  “YES Miss Green and Miss Gilbert? What is that you two came to talk to me about?” Head master asked us politely but our chemistry professor Mr. John was staring at us frowning knowing that we are up to something.

  “Well we were hoping if we could get your permission to leave to get some…” Sammy was stuck

  “Some clothes for …. Our drama period tomorrow… “ I added to rescue yourself from the lie we are trying to put together without screwing it up , Adri is the only person who could lie without any problem so well when we always do all the risky prohibited teenage stuff. Now the two of us hardly can manage that without her.

  Especially when Mr. John is staring at us like a crime scene investigator as if we have committed a crime.

  “Well that’s tomorrow! So you lectures will finish at 4.30.pm Am I right Mr. John?” he questioned

  “Yes you are sir.” Mr. John replied trying to tangle us more in our lie

  “Ummmm…. Yes but headmaster we could go at least once to get our clothes selected so we might need a lot of time because its really hard to find those clothes of knights and kings and queens out there” Sammy groaned

  “Sure it is. But since your friends must have already bought why dot you two go and ask them the names of the boutiques they bought them form? I would be easier yes?” Mr. John suggested trying to get some good marks from the head master

  Awesome he is such a jerk. He is sooo dead.

  “Also since they have missed so many lectures with me I would like to have them for some extra classes as well sir.” He added and he excused and left out of the room since he got a call.

  “Oh really they did? Yes of course you can take any student for extra classes because it for their own good. So as this professor suggested you’ll can easily shop for the clothes. And get your missed lessons as well “headmaster confessed

  “No no we noted them down from our friends in the class. We really don’t need any extra class.” I panicked

  “Well girls… talk about it will your professor because you’ll got the solution for your leaving matter. You’ll can leave after lectures. I have so any people waiting outside.” headmaster replied

  “We are so sorry sir. And thank you for your time. “We said.

  We were so mad and upset at the same time. Two of us were clueless of a way to get you out of the university now. How are we goner see Adriana now. This sucks. It’s all because of the damn professor. he is sooo screwed up. We were cursing him from inside our minds and went out from he office and headed towards our rooms

  “Now now where do you girls think you’ll are going. You girls our already few minutes late for the lecture?” we heard a voice calling us

  And we turned around and to see it was our chemistry professor.

  “Actually we were going to our room to get our book and come for your WONDERFUL LECTURE” Sammy said aggressively

  “Sammy calm down “I whispered

  “Sir we will b back in no time “I said and I pulled Sammy and ran to the room and got our book and came to the lecture and stayed there till it finishes. It was the worst lecture for us. We are not chemistry haters or don’t like to miss these lectures but we just miss them to have some fun which is also a necessary thing to do when you are in university. Rather than always been nerds. Sammy and Adriana always get vey good grades at their term tests. Same here but I am more of a student interested in math more than science. But since my parents wanted me to do science. I chose it because always I love to do what makes my parents happy.

  We didn’t give up on the idea of going to see Adriana. After the class we quickly ran to our rooms got some necessary items packed and called for a taxi and left to Melbourne where Adriana live. It was a five hour journey to where she live but since its night time and most of the people leave home after work at this time we hardly could keep hopes on arriving there by time.
