My Name is Samantha... Sam for Short

“Uhh... Well... You see...” We all searched for words.

Bella was the first one to actually talk, “You see Mrs. Celeste, we had a problem at lunch today.  We got behind schedule, so now we’re late to class.”

Mrs. Moon, assistant Headmistress, and Mrs. Celeste’s sister, walked up to us.  “What is going on here?” she asked.

Lila spoke up.  “Hello, Mrs. Moon.  We were late to class,” she said cautiously.

Mrs. Moon looked at us sternly but then a warm smile came across her face.  “That is okay, girls. You are all good students and I think we can let this one slide,” she said.  “But, do not let it happen again,” she whispered to us with a wink.

The two sisters walked away.  As they turned the corner, we all let out a sigh.

“This isn’t going to happen again, is it?”  I asked.

Bella and Lila laughed nervously.

“I hope not!”  Lila said after a moment.

Before we were going to be really late, we walked into class.
