Chapter 32

Suzan finally stopped the car at a parking spot next to a building I recognized. The building was only about 6 blocks away from the school.
"Okay, I will slowly open the trunk. On the count to 3, we roll out of the car as silently as possible and then we run." Brett whispered.
I nodded my head.
"1, 2, 3!" Brett slowly opened the trunk and we both ran out of the car as quickly as possible before Suzan noticed us.
After running 3 blocks, we both stopped running, trying to catch our breath.
"Should we go home first?" I asked, still trying to catch my breath.
"Nah, we should just go to school. We're already late." Brett said.
"I hope we don't get detention."
"Yeah. Race you there?" Brett purposed.
"Challenge accepted." I put my hand out for a hand shake. Brett light pushed me away and ran without even shaking my hand. 
"Brett, you cheater!" I yelled. Brett laughed at that comment.
I ran, trying to catch up with him, but he was fast. We were near the entrance of the school. Brett ran down the stairs to the front door of the school. Bad move.
I slided down the railing and got to the front door a second before Brett.
"Yes! Victory!" I shouted.
"D/mn it!"
"Haha, cheaters never win." I said as I sticked my tongue out.
We were walking on the empty hallways, still laughing.
"What period is it right now?" I asked.
"First period already passed. So we better get to second period." Brett replied.
I took a look at myself and Brett. "Aren't we attractive right now, Brett?" I said sarcastially. Brett and I had messy hair right now, and we were still in our pajamas.
"This is great, now we can look attractive together." Brett said sarcastically. We both started cracking up.
"Let's hurry up to class. We're already late." I reminded him.
"There is a faster way to get there." Brett responded.
"There i- BRETT!" Brett threw me over his shoulder and we both started laugh again as he ran to math class. When we got to math class, Brett finally put me down.
When we walked in, the whole class turned quiet. Everyone was staring at us. 
"Brett and Melissa. Why are you two late.. in your pajamas?" Mrs. Johnson asked.
Everyone in the class started laughing. My cheeks flared up.
We both were about to say something until-
"Forget it, I don't want to know. Just go to your seats." Mrs. Johnson ordered.
I walked to my seat with Bonnie, Lauren, and Stella. They look like they were trying to hold in their laughter.
"What?" I asked, confused.
And that's when they couldn't hold their laughter anymore, and started cracking up. What do they find so funny?
"Girls!" Mrs. Johnson yelled.
"Sorry" the girls said in unison.
Bonnie turned to me. "Melissa, you know that everybody thinks that you and Brett... you know." 
"What?" I asked, still clueless.
"Forget it, Melissa is too innocent." Stella reminded.
Suddenly, it all began to click in my mind.
"Wait...., hold on. It's nothing like that!" I said, my cheeks becoming red again.
"Sure it's not." Layla joked.
Class eventually ended. Emma handed me an extra pair of clothes. "Thanks."
All of us girls were by our lockers.
"So why were you two late to school?" Lauren asked.
"The better question is, why were you two in your PJs?" Bonnie asked.
"It's a long story." I replied. 
"Well tell us! Or I'mn going to assume that you and Brett-"
"Okay, fine! I'll tell you all the story." I said.
I began telling them everything that happen yesterday. Me finding out that dad lied, the adoptation papers, and getting stuck in Suzan's car, and yada yada yada.
"Melissa, I think you should tell your dad that you know about the adoptation." Layla recommended.
"If I do, wouldn't I have been hiding in Suzan's car for nothing?"
"Yeah, but who cares. You need to talk to your dad." Lauren said.
"I know! How about after school, we go to your house. We could maybe help you with your dad and Suzan problem!" Stella suggested.
"I don't know..."
"Too bad. We're going to your house today." Bonnie finished.
