After escaping on their bikes Henry and Rosie managed to get to an abandoned shed to rest and check for any injuries.
"Hey, you alright?", Henry asked
"I think so, but what just happened?"
"Umm I think we just got into a fight with a man and won, you knocked him out cold your stronger than you look"
"I think that was just a little luck and thanks for coming to help me"
"No thanks necessary I like helping Damsels in distress" Henry said with a confident smile on his face.
"Oh sorry, I didn't get your name", Rosie said softly.
"My name is Henry, nice to meet you even though the circumstances where not desired"
"Yeah no kidding" Rosie said laughing softly.
"Your name is Rosie right?" Henry said
"Yeah, how did you know, "
"We are in the same class, you came new to the school a few weeks ago"
"I haven't seen you in the class before"
"Umm Am not exactly an interactive person, I just learn and leave the class". Henry saw that it was getting a little dark so he decided that it was time they head home. "We should hurry home before our parents get worried".
"Alright let's get home" Rosie said as she was standing up.
"We should really look for a very good excuse for coming late, if I tell my mum this she might loose her mind".
"Same with my dad he will just loose his mind and get super over protective"
"Ok we will tell them we had extra classes and hope they'll buy it"
"Alright, hope it works"
As they reached Rosie's house Henry waved goodbye and was on his way home. As he got home he fell on his bed with a thud, his mum came in.
"Where have you been, your dinner just got cold" Henry's mum exclaimed
"Sorry mum, I had extra classes after school so I couldn't come home till it was done", Henry said with an apologetic voice.
"Ok go wash up and heat your food, you must be tired", Henry's mum said while leaving his room. As Henry sat on the bed thinking of what went down tonight, he was surprised at the way he behaved at the situation, that book must have some powers or something cause I don't think I could have done anything like this on my own . He took the book out and read the ending of chapter 2 which was titled "be confident" , while reading the book something then occurred to him.
"Shit!! I forgot", Henry said angrily
"I forgot to ask Rosie to be my lab partner", Henry was angry with himself, then he heard his mom shout "Henry go wash up or no more video games"
After hearing those words Henry ran to the shower without another thought.
