I like making lists and crossing things off. I may never have skipped school before, but I had planned everything perfectly to ensure the chances of getting caught were almost nonexistent.Almost.First, I knew reputation was on my side. I wasn’t the kind of kid who skipped. I hardly missed school when I had a legitimate excuse. I was much more the type to stay after class to help the teacher with a project than sneak out. I could have danced out the front door of school yelling I’m outta here! at the top of my lungs, and most of the teachers would assume I was just teasing. The second reason I was sure I wouldn’t get caught was because my own mom had called the school, letting them know I was going to be out sick. You can’t get a better excuse than your own mom.I knew the time was going to be tight since I’d gotten a later start than I wanted, but Southside was only an hour and a half from East Lansing. The plan would have worked perfectly if the snow hadn’t started to dump down.
