He thought about the other's words for a long moment. School he could make up; nothing had been going on that day anyway, so he wasn't too worried about that. And work...it really wouldn't kill him to miss one or two days... Granted, he'd never missed a day of work since he'd started, but maybe it was time to take a day off. He'd just have to call his boss later on and try to explain. Maybe taking on an extra shift for a few days would make it up to him.
