As Jenny stood in front of the door, grudgingly waiting for Nick to show up, she couldn't help noticing how beautiful the sunrise looked through the trees. All of the sudden, she heard her mum call.

Mum : Dear, it's almost seven. I think you should give up waiting for him and just head on to school before you show up late.
Jenny : I'll give him 5 more minutes
Mum : Jenny.....
Jenny : Look, he promised he'll walk me to school, and he doesnt make broken promises okay?
Mum : Are you sure? Because the chances now of him showing up at this hour are pretty slim
Jenny : [pouts slightly]
Mum : [sighs] whatever you say......i'll head off to work, make sure the gate is closed when you leave
Jenny : ............

The 5 minutes agonizingly pass by, with no Nick in sight. Jenny finally decided to give up and walk to school alone, while secretly swearing to kill Nick when she gets to school.

As the late bell rings, Jenny is relieved to have reached class just before the attendance is taken. Sure her hair must be in a mess right now, and she must look like a total idiot with one heel of her shoes broken, but at least she wouldnt get sent to detention. Totally worth it, right?

She looks at all directions, finally noticing that Nick was nowhere to be seen. He wasnt in front trying to give an excuse to the teacher for not bringing his homework, nor was he at the back hanging out with his posse where he usually would be. He wasnt even in the seat next to Jenny's where he normally sat. "Thats odd," Jenny thought,"He's usually never late.....nor does he ever skip school........" Jenny soon stopped thinking so hard about it and just focus on trying to get her hair back in place, plus reminding herself to change into her sneakers which she had in her locker later on....or perhaps she could just superglue the heel back into place.

Her attention was turned to the classroom door. There stood Nick, in all his glory. Sweaty, messy, possibly worn out, and most of all....late.

Mrs Rowenkalierasani : Excuse me, Mr Broblaski [if i mentioned Nick's last name earlier on, well, just forget it and stick to this] , I do believe that school started approximately 10 minutes ago.
Nick [aka Mr Broblaski xD] : Erm, sorry, Mrs Rowenkalierasani...erm, my bike kind of broke down...so i had to walk....or...run
Mrs Rowenkalierasani : Very well, Mr Broblaski. But next time, please show up to school on the time specified, as some of us actually have education on our minds.
Nick : Yes maam'. [walks to his seat]

While Mrs Rowenkalierasani was busy explaining the effects of over-bathing to the human body [well, heck no one would listen anyway]

[Note-passing, in case you didnt know]
Jenny : Hmm, i didnt know you had a bicycle, Mr I-Cant-Ride-Bicycles-Without-Training-Wheels
Nick : I'll explain later, i promise
Jenny : Oh sure, like that is going to make up for ditching me this morning
Nick : Sorry, i kind of woke up late and forgot to call you *makes innocent please-forgive-me face*
Jenny : You're dead, Mr Broblaski
