Glares?.
Unfortunately, Herdis didnt show up the next day.
At this point Carlee was panicking.
Carlee
Oh my god-...Oh my god- ...Oh my god-
Arlo Maxwell
Carlee? Please calm down.. We'll find him..
Carlee
*She started tearing up.* What if we dont?... What will happen to him?..
Arlo Maxwell
It'll be fine...i hope..
The principal walked out of his office.
Mr. Joel
Alright, i contacted the police. You two may take a break to calm down for a bit before returning to your class.
Arlo Maxwell
Okay, thank you principal..
The principal returned to his office.
Carlee
W-what am i going to tell my parents?...
Arlo Maxwell
Im not sure...
Arlo Maxwell
But for now please calm down...okay? They'll find him..
Carlee
And what if they dont?!...
Arlo Maxwell
They will...we just have to believe..
Its been a month since Herdis dissapeared.
And the police werent able to find him.
They searched for hours, everywhere.
So they ended up closing the case..
After that, Carlee and her family became very depressed.
Carlee stopped going to school and took online classes, but she still needed to do her homework on a paper. Thats why Arlo helped.
Carlee
Thank you for coming, Arlo...I really dont know what i would do without a friend like you..
Arlo Maxwell
Its no problem really..
Mrs. Jones
Oh Arlo, you came.
Mrs. Jones
Please come in.
Arlo Maxwell
Thank you Mrs. Jones.
They all sat in the living room.
Mrs. Jones
So hows school Arlo? Did the principal inform you about anything?..
Arlo Maxwell
No?..I havent really got the chance to speak with him.
Mrs. Jones
Ah, what a shame then...
Arlo could tell that they were sad because of Herdis. So he tried his best to help them out.
Arlo Maxwell
I brought you Carlee this weeks homework. *I took some papers out of my bag.*
Suddenly, yelling could be heard from one of the rooms..
But Carlee ignored it like it never happened. And so did Mrs. Jones.
Mrs. Jones
I'll go and make us some tea, you kids catch up. *She got up and walked into a different direction from the kitchen.*
Arlo Maxwell
What was that about?-
Carlee
Dont worry about it, its just my dad.
After a few minutes the yelling stopped and Mrs. Jones came with some tea.
Mrs. Jones
Here you go kids.~
Arlo Maxwell
Thank you Mrs. Jones. But i think i should probably head out, i still have to go and visit my mom.
Mrs. Jones
What a shame, its alright.
Carlee
Talk to you later Arlo. And be safe..
Arlo Maxwell
Yeah..i will..
Arlo was walking outside on the side walk.
What was that yelling about?
He sighed deeply and continued walking towards a buss stop.
But he could feel someone staring at him..He looked around but saw no one.
Arlo Maxwell
Thats...weird?
The buss came soon enough and Arlo got in.
He managed to get to his mothers house safely. But he still felt like someone was watching him..
Julia
Arlo! You finally made it. *His mothers opened the door and smiled as she said that.*
Arlo Maxwell
Yeah, i just had to drop of some homework to my friend.
Julia
Oh, well thats alright! Come on in, i made you some warm dinner!
Arlo looked around one last time before entering the house.
He sat at the table and ate with his mother.
Julia
Is something bothering you?.
Arlo Maxwell
Well a kid went missing near the dorm's...
Arlo Maxwell
Its just weird...
Arlo Maxwell
Yeah...It was Carlee's brother..
Julia
Oh i get it now..How Is she and her family?..
Arlo Maxwell
Not so good. They're all depressed..
Julia
Well, theres nothing we can do except hope they find him soon..
Arlo Maxwell
Well the police closed the case..They couldnt find him for a whole month.
Julia
Hm....Poor familly...
Julia
I cant imagine what they must be going through..
Julia
Now come on, eat up while the food Is still warm.
After Arlo helped his mom clean up, he couldnt stop having this weird feeling...
But he brushed it off again and went to bed..
