Chapter 4 The school bell rang loudly in Daisy’s still half-asleep ears. She was not looking forward to school. She wanted to be on the farm helping Randy tend to everything. That is something she could handle. She liked school but as a senior, she was ready to be finished. The night’s conversation and everything she learned about what happened over a decade ago, still played in her mind.

She had almost made it to the stop sign before getting home and a voice caught her attention.
“Wait up, Daisy!” Billy yelled from behind.
Billy was new in school. He has every class with her except for science. They met at lunch that day when she sat down with him when she noticed he was eating alone. He ws quiet and shy but pleasent.
“Hey Billy,” Daisy said smiling. “Do you go home this way, too?” “No, I actually live the opposite way.” he said pointing. She looked at him confused. “Then why are you all the way this way?” she laughed. “I just wanted to tell you thank you, you know, for sitting with the new kid in t...
