DNA Test

Wednesday morning, I went to school like normal with a reminder that Mr. and Mrs. Atkins would pick me up at lunch time. Noah and I went through our classes, and I noticed he was still acting distracted so that summer ball idea didn't completely die down. I'll have to ask Zeke what he's doing this summer and if he had any suggestions to help Noah get over this.

At lunch, Noah walked me up to the office where his parents were waiting.

"I don't see why I can't come too." Noah pouted. "I would only miss math and health."

Mr. Atkins smiled down and patted his shoulder. "We don't know how long we'll be. Jake might miss some practice time. You shouldn't. You have a very important game to prepare for."

"Right!" Noah straightened up and clenched his fist. He looked at me. "Good luck today! Make sure you still come to practice even if you're late!"

I let out a light laugh. "Okay."
