"Thank you for the visit Teacher Zoe, Teacher Olivia and I promise to be in school tomorrow," Maggie said, even though it would be Friday the next day, literally the end of the school week.
And that was how Zoe and Olivia found themselves walking back to the car, both of them lost in their thoughts. When they got to their destination, Zoe was the first to break the silence by saying, "She's lying."
"Obviously." Olivia concurred, arms wrapped across her chest, "I don't think she was even sick in the first place."
"She's trying to protect her mother. I wouldn't blame her though, as a teacher, I don't know what she's going through and it would spell trouble for her scholarship fund if the school finds out she skipped school on purpose to help her mother out in her shop."
"You would have to speak to her though,"
"Hopefully, she attends school tomorrow as promised."
"Or I can pick her up tomorrow,"
Zoe's head snapped up, "What?"
