Caught Skipping at the Market

Me, Mike, and Lucas thought we were geniuses. We skipped class

and ran to the market for snacks—chips, soda, freedom. We were laughing…

until we saw our principal standing by the fruit aisle. He stared. We froze.

Then ran. Soda spilled, chips flew, Mike slipped, Lucas screamed.

Didn’t matter. Five minutes later, we were back at school, out of breath,

snackless… and sitting in detention for the first time
