This is a short story that was featured in a short story series "Been There, Done That." Written by Alan Lawrence Sitomer, this story is told in his perspective from when he was in middle school.
This story is about Alan and his friend ditching school, resulting in him missing out on a great day at school. Alan makes a quick decision when his friend Geoffrey Peterson asks him to ditch school. Geoffrey tells Alan they can hangout at his house till school ends because his mom doesnt come home till 4. Alan remembers he skipped lunch and attempts to find a snack but all he can find is fat-free tortilla chips. As the day progresses Alan starts to regret leaving school to play boring video games he's played a million times with a bad taste of tortilla chips stuck in his mouth. When Alan returns to school he finds out about all of yesterday's crazy events and learns he won't be leaving school anymore.
Overall I believe this is a good story. Some parts seemed to drag a bit however, the story was very funny and relatable. I would recommend this story to a younger crowd. Adults may enjoy this story as well but the lesson would only teach students.
