1.28 Missing

Arnold looks distressed. We're on our way to HPH, where the students are to gather back for the closing of Foundation Week. Jerry and Arnold are driving me because David and I are not really talking these days. Of course, my parents wondered why he didn't pick me up for school. But it was an easy excuse to make. His Grandma is still at the hospital, so he and his Gramps have their hands full. My parents don't need to know what happened between David and me.

"Is everything okay, Arnold?" I ask my stepfather. We are seated beside each other in the back, and I can see the guy fidget more than usual.

"Huh?" Arnold looks at me, distracted. Then catching himself, he gives me a smile, "Yeah, everything's okay."
