She smiled slightly as his cheerful mood, then looked at him.<br/><br/>"I work every day from three to nine p.m. Tomorrow, a bunch of employees are taking the day off, so I have to go in at 8 a.m and work until 2 p.m."<br/><br/>Abby glanced at him, then away. She hoped he didn't hear the false note in her voice.<br/><br/>She didn't really have work the next day. Her boyfriend was ditching school and he was basically forcing her to come with him into the city.<br/><br/>Abby sighed quietly, thinking all of this over. She felt bad about lying to a teacher, but even so, if her boyfriend found out she had been not only with the teacher, but<span style="font-style: italic">alone</span>in the teacher's room, he would have a fit.<br/><br/>She mentally winced as she thought of him tearing his nails into her wrists when he thought she had been with another guy.<br/><br/>The only sign that showed she might be hiding something were her eyebrows furrowing ever so slightly together.<br/><br/>"That's my work schedule, pretty much." She said, ending the silence.
