Gone
Chapter 2
“Okay, Colton what`s going on? You are acting so weird today.”
“Don`t worry about it, I’m fine Mary, just do your homework.”
“Eleven years and that’s all you`re gunna give me “fine”? Well you no what fine I don`t want to know.”
“ Mary you just don`t understand, I have to go.”
Colton got up and left before I could say anything. I was sitting in our booth all alone.
What was going on that was so big he couldn`t tell me. We tell each other
every thing, I was even the first to know about his parents divorce. I knew before Kyle,
Colton’s brother. Something must be really wrong and I’m going to
find out. Maybe Colton is just nervous for the first day of school tomorrow.
Although were in eleventh grade and we have been going to Leary Falls High
for two years now, so there`s really nothing to worry about.

“Hey Sarah! Have you seen Colton today?”
“ Nope, they called his name in homeroom and he wasn`t here.
But did you have a good summer?”
“Uh, yeah it was great but I have to go, ill talk to you later. Bye Sarah. ”
Colton missing the first day of school, he seemed fine yesterday.
What could possibly be more important then the first day of school? Bedsides
Colton has had perfect attendance since the beginning of ninth grade, he wouldn`t
even miss a day of school if he was truly sick. Where is he?
I really don`t understand what`s going on and why he can`t tell me.
Maybe he just caught the throw up thing and it was necessary for him to stay home.
I`ll call him after school and figure every thing out.
