The Lost Friend

After following them for at least 2O minutes they finally stop. The unknown person gets Vanessa out and drops her off at a house. Let's get off and see where he put her. They all get out of the car quietly.&nbsp; They ding dong and say.. “GIVE ME VANESSA RIGHT NOW!!” “ What?” Says an elder woman.&nbsp; “Oh sorry for yelling at you.. Says Liz. &nbsp;Vanessa walks up to the door. “What’s going on here?”&nbsp; “Vanessa you're okay!” &nbsp;“Yes why wouldn't I be?”&nbsp;&nbsp; “But a person brought you here…” “ Oh, this is my grandma.” “ But-”&nbsp; “Let me explain. I got picked up by my grandma today.”&nbsp; “But what were those notes flying out of her car?” “ Oh those papers.. Grandma, what were those?” &nbsp;“Oh those were some clues that I got on sale from a store.. So I bought them!” Says Vanessa’s grandma.&nbsp; &nbsp;Hahaha they all start laughing.

John and Anthony ditch class to go to the vending machine, Liz and Vanessa leave class to go to the bathroom. Then the girls encounter the boys. The boys are known for leaving class early. The girls have to pass the boys to go to the bathroom.&nbsp; Then, the janitor catches them. “Hey! What are you guys doing out of class!?”&nbsp;“ RUN GUYS!” Says Anthony.&nbsp;While running from the janitor, Liz throws a book at the janitor from an open locker.&nbsp;Vanessa says,“Stop your going to get us in trouble!”&nbsp;“We're already in trouble, '' John says. Everyone starts laughing except Vanessa. Vanessa runs to the bathroom. Nobody notices. They lose the janitor.

&nbsp;They all walk to Liz's car. While walking to the car they see Vanessa go in a car.&nbsp; “Wait, guys…That's a car that Vanessa does not go in… I am going to follow her.” Says Liz.&nbsp; Everyone gets in the car and follows the car that Vanessa went in. While stopping at a stop sign, A piece of paper flies out of the car. &nbsp;“Get It!!!!” Screams Liz. While Liz is driving Anthony reads the paper and reads it. It says… “If you want your friend back, follow me”&nbsp; “NO WAY!” Says Liz.&nbsp; Then Liz asked for the paper. While reading the paper, Liz forgets about the car. &nbsp;“Liz… Um… The car is gone…” Says John.&nbsp; “Oh shoot! I forgot about the car!” “Wait No there over there.” “ Oh I didn't see that,” John says.&nbsp; They continue and follow the car.. Then at the next stop sign, Another piece of paper flies out.&nbsp; “Get It! Get it!” “It says.. “So I see you're still following me.. Well your friend is in GREAT hands.” Oh No. That's bad. I'm starting to get worried.”

“Hey, finally we lost him.” Says Anthony.&nbsp; “Bruh that was close.”&nbsp; While they are at the end of the hall,&nbsp; Vanessa is in the bathroom. Oh my god, my parents are not going to be happy with me! It's okay.. I will explain the whole thing to them. Let me just go find Liz.&nbsp;“Omg that was so funny,” says Liz “Vannessa said that this wasn't going to be fun. Vanessa, Vanessa… BRUH WHERE IS VANESSA.”&nbsp;“I dunno.” Said John.&nbsp;“Did the scary janitor get her.. Hahaha.”&nbsp;“No, but for real we need to find her.”“Liz where are you!”“Vanessa Rodriguez?”&nbsp;“Mr. Lopez?” Mr. Lopez is their principal.&nbsp;&nbsp;“Why aren't you in class Vanessa?” “I lost my friends in school… It sounds funny but she ran off and now I can't find her.”&nbsp;“Okay but you need to get to class.”&nbsp;“No! I need to find her!”&nbsp;Mr. Lopez's face changed real fast. “You need to go to class now.”“ Fine,” says Vanessa.

I dedicate this book to my family and friends.
