"I'm sorry to have interrupted whatever was going on," Madison finally said when the girl left Mr. K's office, still unsure of what she had walked into. "I know I had scheduled this lesson so I don't fall behind, but I need to cancel. My arm...it's still very sore. I think I need to let it rest for another day." 

Truth be told, Madison's arm wasn't in that much pain, and even though she felt bad for lying to Mr. Kessinger, Vlad's disappearing act earlier that morning was bothering her more than it should.

Madison got up from the chair, looking over at the sword. "Either way, I'll be back tomorrow morning. Oh, and by the way, Vlad wasn't at lunch. I mean, I didn't see him there so I'm not sure what kind of trouble he's gotten himself into now, but we'll find out sooner or later." She tried to smile as naturally as possible before heading towards the door, hoping that she didn't have to do this again.
