I Should Be In School

I'm twelve years old. I shouldn't have a care in the world and yet there are times in my life that I feel like there is no one in the world who would want to trade places with me.  My parents are off fighting a giant squid called Xzybtb meanwhile I'm stuck here in Wyoming on Mrs. Callahan's ranch. Thanksgiving is over and people are going to start looking for me at school, yet I don't know when or even if I'll be returning to school.  I guess it all kind of depends on if my parents and the rest of the Guild of Heroes are successful against the interdimensional space cephalapod. If they're not there won't be a school for me to return to. Still their battle could last days, weeks or even months. Where am I supposed to say that I've been if I come rolling into Columbia Middle School after a month? What am I supposed to say to my girlfriend Stacey if I'm gone for that long without any communication? If I go that long without talking to her will she still be my girlfriend when I get back? For that matter do I want her to be my girlfriend? I'm in love with Jenny Howard and a couple of days ago Michelle kissed me while we were playing spin the bottle (right before the barn burned down) and she is a very good kisser. On top of all that Suzie, one of my best friends, almost kissed me...but she started laughing instead. Life just keeps getting more and more complicated as I get older.
