And sure enough, they were. A lone piece of paper, stuck to the front, fluttered in the wind. “Lexi, stay here.”
I got out of the car and crunched across the gravel. The paper was a sign, scrawled and taped to the gates. It read: ‘As per order of the provincial government, all schools are closed until further notice.’
When did that happen? Why didn’t they call me? Or Dad? Or even announce it on the radio?
“Useless bloody government, wasting my petrol and my time,” I muttered, kicking the gate. I walked back to the car still grumbling and slid in behind the wheel. “Wish granted. School’s closed.”
“Really?” Lexi’s eyes widened with surprise. “So what now?”
“Well, I can’t take you home. I’m already late. Guess you’re coming to work with me.”
“Yay!”
On the way, my mind kept looping around in endless circles. Something wasn’t right. First, our phones didn’t work, and now the schools were closed? I mean, I knew things were wrong, but this was sudden.
I never got to finish that train of thought, because I drove around a corner and almost plowed into a mob of people gathered in the road, shouting and screaming. They were carrying an assortment of signs and boards, their faces contorted in anger.
