And There was Much Rejoicing

The halls were quiet after school. Parents had picked up kids and scattered like June bugs. Puck, Heidi, and Yali were three of the few students left as we waited for Hans to finish carpool.

“It’s like the apocalypse!” Puck declared, tugging on my arm. “The whole school is sick!”

Well… not exactly. Although – from what I’d heard – 25% is a pretty decent chunk. And so school was canceled for Thursday and Friday. And there was much rejoicing everywhere.
